I agree. I also think that people whinging about them cancelling their tour dates are cunts. And I also think that if there was ever any doubt that one day someone will make a film of Jagger's life, this ensures that it will now happen.

I am not a massive fan of Mick Jagger, but I do think it is poor form of a number of UK tabloids to print the picture of him at the moment he is told of his long term partners unexpected death.

My personal favorite Phelps counterprotest image will always be this one:

Final message:

Fred is dead.

I must say this is a fascinating discussion. I'm glad I hung around for this one.

Today seems to be the day when members of the Deathlist taunt us with their health and new projects. After Vera Lynn celebrates her birthday with news of a new album Tony Bennett turns up says all modern music is rubbish and his voice has never been better. What next Wilko Johnson signs up for the next series of Strictly Come Dancing?

Some people will do anything to steal the media attention from The Kardashians and Miley.

No, no, no, no, er, no... Still some way to go yet, I fear...

Could somebody explain how it's possible to hang yourself from a doorknob? (Especially if you're very tall.) Shouldn't you have to jump off something, or summat. Open the door, tie a rope or summat around the knob that is on the other side of the door you are standing against, drape the rope over the top of the door, make a noose, stand on a chair, put the noose around yer neck, kick the chair away and yer dead, or summat. Ah, the other side of the door, I see. That's still quite tricky for someone who's 6' 3", surely. Not a nice way to go, I'd imagine. Erm, actually in the one film I saw it happen in, it was just a really, really short noose/piece of rope that you tie to the doorknob on the same side you're on........ no slinging a rope over the door or anything like that. Pretty simple really. I also saw it used in an episode of The Wire as a murder method, when some character was killed for being a prison snitch (I think, can't be bothered to double check). The auto-erotic accidents (like Hutchence) were short ropes on the same side. Choking and wanking isn't the same with an open door and passers by getting a look in! Oh I dunno. Some people would get off on that. Yes..............................me!!!!!

I personally admire and respect Mr Phelps for bringing us more awareness towards the problem of baby-eaters. It's an issue that really needs to be dealt with in the future. Fred's a man ahead of his time.

My mum & dad met him 30 odd years ago. A great man. RIP...

Always had a grandad feel about him . I knew nothing about him before the iraq war, and that was the first time i got into politics and like many others opposed it . He gave some excellent speeches about us not going into war if only someone had listened to him.

One of the few politicians I had a lot of time for. I attended many of his one man shows in theatres where he proved to be a real human being, with a very good sense of humour.
