Well, someone in that article was certainly close to death.

I misread that at first.

You like posting in this thread more than BG likes bumping "Deathlist 2014" Still good point though, although there's a few errors there in the murky depths of those old pages. You probably shouldn't spend too long poking around in those dusty old things you'll give yourself chronic hackingcoughitis or summat. The reason I looked at those old DL versions was because I wanted to see which celebs have been picked most times. So far, those with 10+ appearences are... Clive Dunn: 16 Queen Mother: 14 Ronald Reagan: 14 Ronnie Biggs: 13 Bob Hope: 13 Kirk Douglas: 12 Eli Wallach: 12 Pope John Paul: 12 Fidel Castro: 11 Michael Foot: 11 Katharine Hepburn: 11 Barbara Cartland: 11 Kurt Waldheim: 11 Jake Lamotta: 10 General Pinochet: 10 John Mills: 10 Alistair Cooke: 10 Don Bradman: 10 And yes, I appear to post a lot in this thread. Sorry, I'll see to it that I tone it down a bit in the future. No need to apologise that is valuable data that you have collated. I don't think Kirk Douglas will beat Clive Dunn. Update: Btw, is there a "DL-statistics" thread or something to that extent in this website?

Never heard anything of that nature but I wouldn't be hughely surprised. Couldn't she have used the toilet like a civilized person? Well, if it was good enough for Una.....................

Never heard anything of that nature but I wouldn't be hughely surprised.

I can't remember where I first heard it but it's been doing the rounds for a long time. I only ever see Corrie when I'm at my mum's so I'm not an avid watcher but I'm struggling to remember them having many scenes together. She's very forthcoming with tributes so I can only conclude it's true. http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s3/coronation-street/news/a623103/corries-anne-kirkbride-was-the-most-loveable-person-says-helen-worth.html#~p2dVRd3rC3wd9I

Actually, please don't tell me that Deirdre was prone to leaving Ken "little presents" on his pillow between scenes.........

I wonder if we'll find out if it's true that Anne Kirkbride and Helen Worth hated each so much they'd only do scenes together if they could throw insults or worse at each other.

With all the fawning jingoistic shite about the 50th anniversary of Churchill's death myself and the Voice of Young Maryport were speculating what would happen if this dirt-digging about political paedos finally got to some doddery old git just before he died and was given hard evidence of Winston being a kiddie-fiddler. I stress I have no reason to believe he was but... In that situation, do we rethink our great national hero or rethink our revulsion to paedos? Just, innocently, putting the thought out there, like.

Did anyone else find it funny that there's a CEO of a major Wall Street firm named Jamie? I remember when I first saw that a few years ago I thought "wow, that shows time's moving on/I'm getting older. Aren't all those guys supposed to be called Charles and Dick, etc?" Of course events like LFN using the world's lamest picture of a "tumbleweed" to try and make fun of someone for simply attempting to restart a thread that was "cleaned up" (i.e. deleted) when no-one asked for it to be cleaned up........ and erm, every single instance in which I speak to my unbelievably daffy old ma who almost relies on me as a de-facto carer while giving me absolutely zero per cent of the standard support that kids get from their families in this country and then wonders why I'm not CEO of GoogAppleSoft yet (silly bint) remind me I'm not really old at all.... Also, veterans like you making fun of me for picking a reckless fag-smoking, pot-bellied supercar-skidding 50-something-year-old as my joker but then ending the year with 2 fucking hits, that's another one.

I'd opt for June Brown out of that lot. We weren't enquiring about your sexual preferences!!

A fair summary of her film career I'd say.

And yes he scores, finally! regards, Hein

Breaking news; Abraham Lincoln has been shot in Ford Theatre!

I almost put this guy on my DDP just cos he once wrote a novel called "The Queer Captain". What is that, something halfway between Brokeback Mountain and The Caine Mutiny? anyway.. if I'd realised he was the husband of someone some people had actually heard of I might have done!

WHY DO YOU NEVER DO A SEARCH OR READ YOUR PERSONAL MESSAGES GIVING YOU ADVICE. WE KNOW!

The television news reports were all fairly open about unanswered questions where Sir Leon was concerned, and that's on the day his death was announced. They may be even less respectful tomorrow.

While I agree that playing the same character forever doesn't show a wide acting range, being purely pragmatic it makes sense to stay in a regular well-paid job that you enjoy doing for as long as possible for security reasons.Anyway, Deirdre was involved in most of the best Corrie storylines I can remember - Rovers lorry crash where Tracey was missing, Ken/Mike affair, the whole Samir thing, and going to prison.She'll be missed. Possibly not the finest example to be fair. That was a cringing plot and the fella that played Samir was so wooden it looked like somebody had left a fence on the Street. Hey, her specs live on, right? I still watched it in those days. Was it ever explained why she pronounced his name "Shamir" for ages and then suddenly started calling him "Samir"? Surely Shome Mishtake

Former home secretary Leon Brittan dead at 75. What an utter inconvenience for those investigating his links to child abuse. Ah well, thankfully nothing will come out in the papers about him over the coming days.

No she was 60, her neck was 84 Handy. Vocal chords 107. Smoking kills, kids...

well my grand dad died within a year or so of getting it as best I can remember.Mind you he did die of a heart attack in the end Alzheimer's is a slow disease. My gran had it for over 30 years. Towards the end she barely recognised me, she believed that my nephew was me, I was my dad, and she could barely recognise my dad although she knew his voice. Well to be fair to her in her condition... 30 years later you tend to look more like you dad than you used to By the way, can we ditch these tired Peter Falk jokes now? I mean he was diagnosed over a month ago.....
