    This post has only made me realise it’s not Anderson. I don’t think I know who Clive James was.

    I mean, I don't care how he died but that is a bloody odd thing to announce and then just leave it there.

    It says he hit his head and got bleeding of the brain. It happens all the time. What's the mystery?

    I saw 'head injury' in the headline and disconnected it from the specific bleeding assuming one caused the other despite not being quoted. My bad.

    In which case I'm totally in on a massive insurance settlement incoming.

    Jamie Oliver tweeted that he'd had a bad fall, literally straight after it was announced. I don't understand all the confusion.

    EDIT: looked it up; was insta; he then edited it.

    Derek Acorah.

    I wonder if he'll send anyone some messages from beyond the grave.

    Not even a short illness for Derek. A 'very brief illness'. It's coming for us all and it's coming tomorrow.

    The thing with Peart was that not only was he an absolute drum god but he also wrote the majority of the lyrics for the band when he joined as Lee and Lifeson weren't interested in that aspect as much. On top of all his he had a really tragic personal life where he lost both his wife and daughter, travelled around the world on bikes and found new purpose in life with his music. A true legend.

    I could never get into Rush. I have a lot of time for proper progressive rock wanker bands who embraced the excesses and stupidity of it all. Rush always felt to me like they were falling between not wanting to do that but not being heavy enough not to be that, so it all just sounded a bit po-faced and boring.

    Tom Sawyer is quality, but in general I agree that they were a bit dull compared to most of their peers.

    Hopefully any resulting Monty Python sales bounce will keep Cleese off our screens until it's his turn.

    RIP Nicholas Parsons. One small positive to come from his passing is this absolutely amazing anecdote that's been doing the rounds:

    Norman Lloyd (played the headmaster in Dead Poets Society) is still going at 105. Not sure if there are any older 'famous' people than that.

    Thousands of people get to 100 or more, 103 isn't going to be very high on the list. He must have done the last 20 or so on spite alone which is pretty impressive.

    Probably like 100,000th. 103 is still very 'doable' but survival rate starts falling off a cliff around that age.

    I read somewhere once that past a hundred the chances of you croaking double by the year. But then something similar presumably applies even earlier.

    Given there’s been, what, 15bn people alive ever he’s going to be well high up the list.

    That must be one of the closest efforts to Jean Calment who is well ahead of anyone else iirc.

    Of everyone ever sure, but of people who live to a particularly old age (over 100 lets say) he's barely moving the needle.

    A cursory Google (which I'm going to believe because it's more fun that way) tells me that one in three people born today will live to over 100. I wonder if there's some upper limit to this sort of thing or will diminishing returns mean we top out at 150 or something.

    There's been 100 billion but tbf the number of people living to 100 before about 1850 is going to be super small

    I think we top out at around 125, unless someone comes around with some crazy telomere mutation
