Roll on Thatcher That might work if Adele did it.

He bloody isn't!

Perhaps we should just move into the post-Dunn world without fanfare.

In times of crisis be all turn to what we know for that small chance of some calm and solace, so naturally having heard of Sir Clive's death a day late I came to the only place I knew people would understand how I'm feeling. I know it is sad and deluded, but I really had convinced myself that he was immortal. I say that as a mark of respect that the Deathlist should remain a top 50, with Clive a fixture on it. After all he survived 25 years of the Deathlist unscathed, surely death will not be an insurmountable obstacle for Clive Dunn? I prefer to think of him not so much as dead, more just no longer alive. RIP Clive Dunn. PS Grandad for Christmas Number One, pass it on...

Dunn's death has certainly given this site a much needed shot in the arm in terms of activity...

No! Keep it at 50. Dunns done. I always thought it was a waste of time putting him on the list year after year. OK, so we got it right this time. No reason to make the deathlist 49.

I don't think you can plan a successor, but maybe one will emerge, and we'll just instinctively know when (if) that happens.

End of days. That's what it is. End of days. The Mayans were right.

PANIC! A dark day for Dunny and a dark day for Deathlist.

What is the Coptic church's method? A free-for-all fight of the candidates, maybe? regards, Hein They get a kid to pick a name from a hat. No jokes...

Good job she didn't work for the BBC, current reports indicate she'd have been a shoo-in for groping 20 years ago when she was a mere 112!

CriticalDivide, thank you for your input, all information on any of our lucky subjects is always welcome I have to say though, from being in a position of not being that bothered one way or the other about Ronnie Biggs, your last couple of posts have made me jump off the fence firmly onto the side of 'he's a bit of a cunt'. Whatever the 'facts' of the case - the one that we know is that Ronnie Biggs was involved with a bunch of other people in committing a violent robbery. Some of the points above seem to be trying to justify things - 'The fireman was bundled down the bank, but not struck. The driver Jack Mills was struck once, and did most of the damge when he fell against the side of his cabin.' - so what? So it's OK that the fireman wasn't struck? It's OK that Jack Mills was only hit once? 'Mills died of Leukamia seven years after the robbery and the coroner at the time made the point of stating in his report that his death was in no way related to what happened at the robbery.' - again, so what? Doesn't take away the fact that the poor fucker, doing a shitty job to try an earn an honest wage, was violently assaulted! 'it was left to the rail union and the general public to raise some money for him' - so, was Ronnie that sorry that he anonymously slipped a few quid from his ill-gotten gains into the fund? 'Ron actually has spent more time in prison than virtually all the other gang members' - yeh? Boo fucking hoo. He also spent 30 years NOT in prison when he should have been.
