Now is 81 and has found out that he has terminal cancer: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/19/opinion/oliver-sacks-on-learning-he-has-terminal-cancer.html Although at 81, lots of things are terminal. Bad orbit looking for a good obit...

Oh, I don't know about that. It's still very fashionable, everybody's doing it.

My sister once actually did that standing on a rake thing.

James Robinson, the Detroit man who had to walk to work 33 kilometers to work and got a car and fortune from a good Samaritan, is receiving death threats by envious persons. Was bound to happen.

I gave up at the first question, "What colour was the second moped". Moped? What moped? There were 2? Blimey.

Damn , was worth a guess though.

and when are you due to appear in court?

So, it'll be her and Gwyneth Paltrow side by side in the vag steaming salon soon, then.

Looks like he's struggling to pay the bills. Mike Hudson Benefit Concert.

This after an emergency parecentesus two days ago. Mr Simon seems to be spending a lot of time with emergencies just now.

Standing barefoot on an upturned plug is waaaaaaay worse, so quit your bitching.

But you do get all the best jobs and better pay.... ...oh wait. At least you get into clubs for free on a Friday night whereas us blokes have to pay. On average women live a few years longer than geezers. I don't know how much fun those years are, living with faulty plumbing. regards, Hein I can't remember the last time I went into a club - it was probably about 3 years ago. It was full of pissed-up, middle-aged, mutton-dressed-as-spam slags looking to get fingered in the park on the way home......oh wait..... Fingered? You are in Wiltshire Lardy, that's going to be 14 fingers and retro Casio digital special going elbows in there. Anyway, while we are on the "oh woe is me coz I is a wimmin" bollocks, a woman at work has just given birth to her second child. Now how long has she got off for that then? How about ELEVEN MONTHS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Come back and complain when you've squeezed a watermelon out of your jap's eye and had someone chewing on your nipples for six months straight, and have had no proper sleep for the last four months of your pregnancy because you're the size of a fucking airship and can't turn over in bed without help from the local fire brigade, and then no sleep for the next three years because your lazy ass twat of a husband pretends to be asleep every time the baby screams, and then the one and only time he DOES get up in the night to take the baby downstairs to feed her, he comes and wakes you up to tell you PRINCESS DIANA HAS FUCKING DIED.

Its not as if there is even 100 posts a day on here, just read them all you lazy fuckers

It gets a bit annoying when the same death is posted in 4 or 5 different threads. Like some bit part actor that had a walk on part in Dr Who, then had a talking part on Blakes 7, and had a week or two in a soap. Fair point, but I still think that's no excuse for a death not to get a mention in "The Dead of [insert year]". As someone else put it, this thread should act as a one-stop shop, like a reference section, and be fully inclusive. That way there's no need to look at the other threads unless we wish to - no risk of missing a death. I don't mind the repetition myself. I see the more specialist threads as being a place for general discussions, which may range beyond the person who is dead or dying.

Bizarre interpreation of the record. We've got a long way to go before we beat any records.. This how I see it... The record depends on how you phrase it: Longest time without a hit within the year would go to 1991 and 1989 shared Longest time until the first hit would go to 1987 Either way we've a long wait to break either record and declare an absolute drought. Judging by the records below the end of march could be classed as a significant drought as it would beat all bar 2 active and 1 dead year in the Deathlist history. Anyway which way no need to head to panic stations for another month or so. ----First hit of the year----- 1991 - No hits whatsoever 1988 - No hits whatsoever - potentially no list. 1987 - 2nd Jun 1992 - 23rd March 2004 - 20th March 2007 - 7th March 2003 - 5th March 2002 - 23rd Feb 2001 - 20th Feb 1997 - 19th Feb ---- We've beaten these years for the drought length within that individual year---- Will be moved as applicable. 2014 - 12th Feb 1999 - 5th Feb 2005 - 4th Feb 2010 - 28th Jan 1989 - 23rd Jan 2000 - 22nd Jan 1995 - 22nd Jan 2013 - 21st Jan 2012 - 20th Jan 2009 - 14th Jan 2008 - 10th Jan 1990 - 8th Jan 1996 - 8th Jan 2006 - 6th Jan 1993 - 6th Jan 1994 - 5th Jan 2011 - 4th Jan 1998 - 2nd Jan

Could always rename the thread to "Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves"

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2943075/Dionne-Warwick-hospitalized-two-weeks-slipping-falling-shower.html Funny you should say that....... She has just spent 2 weeks in hospital after falling in the SHOWER! Perhaps that family should stick to having bedbaths, surely nothing can go wrong with those. You can end up marrying your bedbath nurse who'll then take your family for the whole inheritance!

Fun fact: Joao Havelange sounds like an Italian or French man saying "You have lunch?" in Broken English.
