So we can make an informed guess as to where he's heading, then?

Why do I only hear about big name deaths on a Saturday ? Weird

Only one question begs to be answered as he was once on the BBC...............did he fiddle with anyone?

Who shot him?

I hope his coffin is wide enough for his Stetson...

The voices in your head?

Shoe shops, or the lack of. When I were a young lass there was Freeman Hardy Willis, Saxone, Lilley & Skinner, Barratts etc etc and if you wanted to go a bit more exclusive there was the likes of Ravel and Bata and what was that other one. Now we have .... Shoe Zone or Shoe Zone. (And Clarks) Shoe Zone just sells cheap plastic crap. Apparently if you want leather shoes, you have to order them on the web from "our sister store" Stead & Simpson (rapidly disappearing from our high streets as I speak). So they deliver shoe of your choice to Shoe Zone, from where I may collect them and (I'm not making this up, this is what the woman said) "try them on in the comfort of my own home". Clearly that's bollocks, you would try them on in the shop in case they don't suit - no point in taking them home to find that out. And so what then if they don't fit? You can't go "Oh, they pinch a bit, can I try on a (next size up)?" No, you can't, because they haven't got any - you have to order them in, remember? What sort of moron thought this was a good way to sell shoes? All I want is a comfy pair of leather slip-on shoes that are flattish but with a little bit of height to lift me above the puddles and without paying silly money. Clarks have a few but not exactly what I want. Lots of fashion shops have shoes, well I say shoes, but it's wall-to-wall ballet pumps or boots and fuck all in between. Bring back proper shoe shops. And let Shoe Zone be consigned to the hottest circle of hell, where their nasty plastic pumps should flare up nicely.

Breaking news: Bert Newton to undergo a quadruple bypass tomorrow morning: http://www.smh.com.a...1123-29yaj.html "Newton has a history of heart and lung problems and has been taken to hospital twice in the past 18 months." Definitely one to consider for the 2013 list...

Confirmed as liver cancer. Here's hoping there's no surrender until January 1st at the earliest.

The reason why Clive Dunn was chosen as numero uno in the first place was because the committee, young, feckless and half-drunk at the student bar (I know because I've been in that situation myself!) assumed Dunn was ancient because he played an older character (he was of course just 66 at the time). A similar assumption can't be made these days because of the access to information is more accessible. We know pretty much the age of anyone famous at the click of a button. Dunn was an understandable misapprehension. That's hard to recreate in this business in these more knowing times...

First time I clicked the link it took me to porn...nice of you to think of me

In what way? Ah yes, the noble art of death prediction. In ye olde days, we would pick out 50 noted squires and punt for their impending doom. It was a gentlemen's game then...

I found the list in such a way - checking out the status of Charlie Drake - and frankly I've had more fun on Death List than chasing the little funster from a bygone era to ground. Keem 'em comin'.
