    I think the Earl of Snowdon is an ideal DL candidate. Not much info on his current health but I have read that he is wheelchair bound. Considering what the party lifestyle did to Princess Margaret, you've got to expect it must be catching up with him too. Another ideal one for DL would be Sir Sean Connery. He'll be 85 next year which, for a Scotsman, is like...reaching your 100th birthday.

    Before the internet they had this incredible thing called pen and paper, and people used to meet in these places called "pubs".

    That's a shockingly (mostly) accurate state of events, bro... The two biggest problems are fundamentalist nutjobs having 18 kids per family and naming them all Muhammad, and people gawping at their smartphone screens like a bunch of lost, confused sheep who've just been injected with super-autism. It's amazing how fast (only about 20 years) I've gone from being a meek scared kid who was in awe of everybody and couldn't wait for the future to happen, to a scared, pessimistic adult who holds almost everybody in contempt and thinks we're going to see a Rome-style-collapse before I've even got time to go half-bald. Of course let's not lose track of what Hawking was complaining about in the first place, super-geeks in Silicon Valley creating something too powerful that goes wrong because their demented egos can't admit they can ever do wrong, or because a lifetime of bullying has left them with too low esteem to be able to handle the idea that something they create can do damage. Uh, did you mean to post that in the George Osborne thread?

    Given my poor performance this year I'm stuffing my top 50 with the older crowd. Still all legitimately famous though, so not as low hanging as some nobody whose family are toying with switching off their life support machine which will definitely be covered by the Daily Mail because they are third cousins once removed to some TOWIE celebrity whose only claim to fame in the last 6 months was that the DM were able to long-lens her cellulite whilst she was showing off her 'so-called' bikini body in Ibiza whilst allegedly indulging in wild sex parties...which means publishing an obit for the original nobody gives the DM an excuse to publish the cellulite pictures again.

    1. Terror is quite fun. Its got a lot of really daft lines which I shan't spoil, but yeah, Pip and Jane are actually quite fun if you are in the right mood. It's also got a surprisingly strong cast for that era - Honor Blackman, Denys Hawthorne, Malcolm Tierney and Bellingham/Michael Jayston too. 2. Unfortunately, she gets worse. 1. I have seen Time and the Rani. 2. I have seen Time and the Rani. 1. A good point, well made! 2. A good point, well made! Carrot juice, carrot juice, carrot juice. I finished Trial last night. I can honestly say that Lynda Bellingham is probably the best person in it. So the Doctor really did commit genocide against the Vervoids and got away with it! I am now watching the "Trials and Tribulations" feature and it is more gripping than the story itself. Whilst all that politics was going on at the BBC, with Saward lashing out, Baker being fired, Grade trying to wrap the show up and so on, Jimmy Savile was fiddling kids down the corridor. What a screwed up organisation. And... "So, this big 14 part story. Surely we've worked out how we're going to tie it all up?" "Don't worry, I've set acclaimed writer Bob Holmes on it." "Thank god." (a day later) "Err, about acclaimed writer Bob Holmes?" "Yeah?" "He's dead." "Bugger."

    This is causing some consternation amongst certain politicians...

    A man with a bald head and a wooden leg is invited to a Xmas fancy dress party. He doesn't know what to wear to hide his head and his wooden leg, so he writes to a fancy dress company to explain his problem. A few days later he receives a parcel with a note: Dear Sir, Please find enclosed a Pirate's outfit. The spotted handkerchief will cover your bald head and with your wooden leg you will be just right as a Pirate. The man is offended that the outfit emphasizes his disability, so he writes a letter of complaint.. A week passes and he receives another parcel and note Dear Sir, Sorry about the previous parcel. Please find enclosed a monk's habit. The long robe will cover your wooden leg and with your bald head you will really look the part. The man is really incandescent with rage now, because the company has gone from emphasizing his wooden leg to drawing attention to his bald head. So he writes a really strong letter of complaint.. A few days later he gets a very small parcel from the company with the accompanying letter: Dear Sir, Please find enclosed a tin of Golden Syrup. We suggest you pour the tin of Golden Syrup over your bald head, let it harden, then stick your wooden leg up your arse and go as a toffee apple

    I'd only read this far, and I was thinking "Surely it's not a bad thing to have no compassion for people like Kim Kashardian?" I agree she should be in a separate category from "fellow humans" too.

    Kirky has got to be absolutely nailed-on for next year. He looks terrible in recent pics and Eli Wallach's death this year showed us that, no, these guys can't actually go on forever.

    Nah, Jason Wood, completely forgotten generic panel show comedian and the first ever person eliminated from Strictly, died in 2010.

    I wonder if the ghost of Rinka the murdered Great Dane might play a part in the next few months. Local legend has it that she still walks those moors. (It's also a well known spot for gathering magic mushrooms, that might have something to do with it.)
