Russia threatening to start WW3, the Middle East exploding, ebola out of control....... and then Saint Peter shows up. Great fucking omen!

After a number of years in Libya and other arse holes of the earth. I'm back to the usual banter...

I was sure they had it pencilled in.

He had a pet lion and smoked cigars. Would have been more amazing if it had said he had a pet lion that smoked cigars ! Or if he had a pet cigar and smoked lions, for that matter. regards, Hein

Cobra meeting today about Ebola. Philip Hammond saying all measures that are appropriate and considerate will be looked at. That's considered... Strong facts, modelled foresight, screw that! They will be pissing in the wind on this one no fear, with an almost blank sheet of paper saying that it's not in the UK and readiness is high. Real action is required. We will get no real action because they can't see the big picture.

Very welcome back. It's been so long I feared you were dead. Do you have any close call tails to tell? Oh and by the way, Ebola is on the way here too... Aye, tour dates to be confirmed.

Even if we do all somehow die in an ebola outbreak, or a nuclear war, or both, two things are certain: The cockroaches will survive..... and Bibliogryphon will still come on the DL forums at lunchtime.

Billy Mackenzie Isabella Blow L'Wren Scott Angela Scoular ............ OK two of those had me shrugging "who?" and the other two had more famous husbands. I don't think this invalidates my argument. But we all like a good list..... I think you'll find that they've all "featured on this site". Why would it matter if they had a more famous partner? I am shocked that you had heard of Stuart Adamson but not Billy Mackenzie. Really? I have just wiki'd him and unless this is a Scottish thing Big Country were much bigger than the Associates and he left before their only noteworthy hit. The point about having more famous husbands is that although they were famous in their own right if they had not had such famous husbands their death would have been less noticiable in the media and as nobody had picked L'Wren in the DDP it goes to show suicides are hard to predict. The list I would like to see is how many suicides have actually scored DDP points. Yes, but what you said was: "There are only a small number of celebrities who commit suicide maybe 1 a year who would feature on this site" - and that is what I responded to. Nothing to do with how famous they are in relation to anyone else, how predictable they might be, or whether they have been picked for the DDP. Or whether you personally have heard of them. There are loads of people I've never heard of who get mentioned on here. Doesn't mean they're not famous to those who follow their sport, watch their TV programme, buy their products or whatever. Oh, and The Associates had two hit singles (Club Country and Party Fears Two), both of which Billy Mackenzie sang on. I'm not aware that they ever had another lead singer? I stand corrected on Billy Mackenzie I misread his wiki article. I was thinking of Party Fears Two. I wasn't trying to have an argument but this whole thing developed from the comment about whether theoretical potential suicides should be good picks for general deathlisting. Looking at the list of unnatural deaths on the DDP website only 4 count as suicide and a couple of those were potential picks because of age &/or lifestyle. I am rapidly having to reassess my idea of famous as nobody seems willing to publish an obit for Val Biro. Look here Anyone seen anything resembling a qualifying obit for Ronnie Masterson?

Suspect you're thinking of Andrea de Cesaris. Elio de Angelis, generally, was a careful, smooth and fast driver - Andrea, bar 1991, none of the three.
