10 years today since I became a member of the DeathList. Where have those years gone?

That's kind of understandable. His doctors told him that his chemo stopped working, so they can't do anything for him besides giving him sedatives and painkillers. I guess he also feels depressed 'cause he knows what this means. His quality of life would only get worse from this point and he only has weeks if not days to live. One thing that is common in terminal cancer patients near the end of their lives is that they always feel tired even though they sleep a lot and don't move around much. And in Sam's case, sedatives can also contribute to that since he asks for large (perhaps larger than recommended) doses from his nurses. As he's a terminal patient in constant pain and discomfort, they have no reason to deny his requests since tolerance/addiction is now a lesser concern. But if you still want tweets, you could also follow his staff and friends at http://twitter.com/samsimonnews and his girlfriend at http://twitter.com/katastraphe007 . They might be the first channels to announce his eventual demise...

He was the best dressed political figure. His official name too long to post, so Emir of Gusau (in Nigeria) SC http://whatsupnaija.info/acf-mourns-death-of-emir-of-gusau/

Well I got it. Run out of Likes for the day.

5 asking yourself "wonder how the hell Alex Higgins still hasn't carked it" another 5 saying "shit, how the hell could we not see Michael Jackson was gonna cark it!"

I don't blame you - this Kerkorian guy may be quite rich, but not very interesting, unlike his near-namesake. On the other hand, this article seems to be factually inaccurate. I'm pretty sure that Cher (born Cherilyn Sarkisian) was at least as famous, and she's almost 70 now, she might be a DDP/Deathlist prospect in a few years.

You have to remember SC that some of these threads are getting on for 10 years old and as the suggestions start to die off, this thread's a reasonable place as any to mention it.

Nailed on obit chances, frankly. Anyone at uni in the seventies - and therefore likely to be broadsheet reading now - would have known summat of him. Not neccessarily from their own fandom but because there would be some cheery nutter around the place who'd be your go to guy for weed and would doubtless own and play albums like Flying Teapot to anyone who came into his room. I've seen and admired Gong a few times, kinda sad, but Allen appears to be embracing it all.
