Fine DDP material, then. That Uzzaman, I mean. From the report you linked to I glean a horrible attrition rate.regards,HeinIndeed!

I'm not saying 'why' I was on a bodybuilding website....

Sure it's easy to look up, but I'm lazy today. You mean to tell me Olga Korbut et.al never won a world championship??? Or is this limited to the All New Shiny Russia? I'm stunned. SC Ah, Soviet Union before Russia y'see? Article clarified this. Article is pish though.... They won the medals table the year before. (The disciplines have different WC's).

Unfortunately? Sounds like a nice manly name to me. Even better is the Jets owner, Woody Johnson.

There are no rules that say anything in life or death has to be taken seriously.

Again, Sir Creep is not learned on the media of the UK, but goddamit if Pat Summit wouldn't obit no sense in publishing the damned paper. Granted we had this tiff re: Tarkanian a couple months ago and Sir Creep was right, which seemed obvious to him. But she's the greatest NCAA female bb coach ever, what could possibly be the debate?SC The question is whether anyone in Europe really cares that much about college-level female basketball. Yes, NBA is a thing in Europe and you get to watch it live in almost any country, but even WNBA or male college basketball is less interesting for European viewers. So if the matches get basically 0 coverage how would you learn that she was a legend? It's a bit like cricket in the US and continental Europe. Most people there have probably never heard of Sachin Tendulkar, yet he is the single most popular player and #1 sports legend in India. But you can't really appreciate his achievements as an American. You lack the "reference frame" to interpret feats like "the highest number of centuries" when you don't even know how they score in cricket and how many runs are scored by ordinary players.

NO! I had mentioned him in January, he was a sneaky pick for next year. Dammitall. SirC Well with Gene Gene The Dancing Machine and Milton now gone, Chuck Barris is almost guaranteed for either this year or popular pick for next. I loved Chuck as a boy, even from my sitting room in Scotland.

Was going to say Dick Wood has gone limp, but rigor mortis would actually make for a stiff Dick Wood? I shoulda watched more episodes of Six Feet Under... SirC

The Methodist Chursch has just adopted a new hymn book so there may be more opportunities for up to date resaearch during long sermons - most of the people in the old book must be dead already Sydney Carter and F Pratt-Green died in 2004 & 2000 respectively. Our church have deprived me of this pleasure by only purchasing a small number of copies so anyone who is not totally blind gets to sing following the words on a screen projected from a PC. Although some mirth can be obtained from spelling errors and the mumbling when the PC operator fails to put up the correct screen. The only person who I can think of who would fit into this category is Graham Kendrick who is responsible for the abomination that is Shine Jesus Shine but he is only 64.

I suppose heatstroke will make a pleasant change from frostbite. Starts today...probably dead within the week. According to reports today he has been overtaking people who are almost 50 years younger than him.

Milton DeLugg, composer and band leader, known for amongst other things being the band leader on The Gong Show, gains obituary at 96. http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/latimes/obituary.aspx?n=milton-delugg&pid=174574686

SC Never trust anyone who refers to themselves in the third person. I cna't quite remember where that bit of advice came from but it is worth noting. Bill Clinton in 1996 probably?

Former Miami Dolphins' quarterback, the unfortunately named Dick Wood, dies at 79. http://www.miamidolphins.com/news/article-1/Former-Dolphins-Quarterback-Dick-Wood-Dies/d19a5bb7-c141-4570-bac1-bff020d1dfde

Again, I'm reminded of how extraordinary the 122 years of Jeanne Calment were. I mean, the most holders of the title "world's oldest person" die around the age of 116-117. Simply because of the distribution of a bell curve one would expect then the odd person living to 118 or 119, and so there is just one person who died in that age range (as far as we know). But Jeanne Calment beat Sarah Knauss by three whole years. Truly a biological wonder.

James Best, The Dukes of Hazzard's Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane, has died from complications of pneumonia, aged 88.

In my sig I think it's Bronn who says it, though.

The former Mrs Paul McCartney, former sex worker and general attention sponge Heather Mills just broke the world speed record for a paralympic skiier. Talking the next winter olympics and more of the same regarding speed. Fuck knows, if the press will pay attention, she'll give it a go. Schumacher didn't touch Heather's speeds. Just sayin', like.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-32198786 -Duke of Kent dislocates his hip.He also had a mild stoke 2 years ago and turns 80 in October.Maybe one to keep an eye on.

I remember Trouble and Strife and Not with a Bang but not the others. Does anyone remember My Dead Dad on Channel 4 in the mid 90s. I really wanted to like it but it was shit.

Only just seen this, there were certainly rumours among some BBC personal that he had cancer of some sort but I'm not who true they were and the seem to have died down. Blue Peter presenters seem to have quite a good survival rate, I think only Trace, Sundin and Keating have died though I could be wrong. I believe Christopher Wenner has throat cancer but I don't know much more about it than that. Paul Danquah may be a possibility too, although best known as an actor he was one of the first black Play School presenters and turns 90 this year.

Nicola Sturgeon won the debate according to snap poll ! Told you ! This wasn't so much the "I agree with Nick" debate as it was the "I agree with Nicola" debate! A person who has run a nation, but spoke like an ordinary person. Cameron has run a nation but looked like he was sneering down his nose at the other leaders, while wanting to go for a poo...only he can pull that off. Miliband and Cameron are both tainted by government, Clegg looks like he will lose his seat on that performance. Farage can only gain. Whether there is any bounce in Wales for Plaid, I don't know. Greens might gain one or two.

Well, if we take some influential Polish people in the last century, I could list about a dozen. Most of these are highly controversial politicians (Piłsudski, Wałęsa, Jaruzelski) with little impact abroad, some are boring artists (Władysław Szpilman) or economists (Balcerowicz) and there's only one bloke that was both charismatic and respectable, the former pope.

An elderly Japanese lady and John Lennon's wife die on the same day. I think there might be a Venn diagram in there somewhere.

This is so disgusting. Most of the profits generated by the increased sales should've been donated to help the families of the victims, but no - these survivors have become so greedy... They didn't want an equal share of the bullets, so why would they get an equal share of the money? I propose they use some of the money to buy each staff member an AK-47 and settle the argument at the next editorial meeting. If one comes out, he/she can decide.
