I wonder how badly this will effect Robert Mugabe Fatally is what we're hoping...

Along with Lynyrd Skynyrd drummer that's five deaths to musicians on Georgia roadways in just a few days. SC And Jerelean Talley was born in.....Georgia! If she fancies a trip to her birthplace while playing the banjo..... The initial episodes of Dukes of Hazard were shot in Georgia.... Does the grim reaper live there? No but the Devil went down there...

We're in danger of having a serious political debate, let's drag it back to ridicule for a moment, eh? Link: https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=354520148081068&fref=nf

A post about a Post. Richard F Post, physicist, holder of several patents and inventor of various things I've never heard of but I'm sure they're lovely, dies at 96.He is however the father of Markie Post, who played the bailbondswoman in The Fall Guy. Of which I have heard. http://www.contracostatimes.com/breaking-news/ci_27873554/longtime-livermore-lab-physicist-and-father-flywheel-dies

And so Twisted Sister are now going on farewell tour. Touching, if financially irresponsible....http://www.theguardian.com/music/2015/apr/08/twisted-sister-announce-farewell-tour-following-drummers-death

Why couldn't you put "accidentally" killed himself? It's a big difference. Afterall, who hasn't accidentally poured themselves a cup of polonium-210 tea? I was just trying to rescue the difference between time's intellectual aspirations and a shit-brained Chelsea season-ticket-holder who says "well if he 'andled it wrong then be basically killed 'imself dinnie?". Y'know since almost all people immediately associate the phrase "killed himself" with an intentional suicide. If you were to get your head out of your arse long enough, you'd see I was quoting the BBC. If you have a problem with the way its reported, its with them. End of story. I'm so sorry I infringed on your O'Briain- given right to expect to be able to just copy & paste shit headlines without someone complaining, just cos it was your precious Beeb. ... If we're gonna set our standards as low as them why bother having an internet at all?

There have been cases - one fairly recently but I can't recall exactly when - of the world's oldest title being surrendered by someone who remained alive; because another claiment was proven to be genuinely older. That's less and less likely to happen with better record keeping from the end of the 19th century. That would be Maria Gomes Valentim (9 July 1896 - 21 June 2011), who was discovered to be the world's oldest person after the title was given to Eunice Sanborn (20 July 1896 - 31 January 2011) and later to Besse Cooper (26 August 1896 - 4 December 2012), who later had the title anyway. "Bloody hell* you guys are professionals!" *Ron Weasley Hell yeah, keep hitting on the site, we're paid by the volume of traffic!

Yup. You'd think they didn't want people to know that once upon a time the BBC produced programs you actually wanted to watch with presenters who could present and actors who could actually act. At this rate David Dimbleby won't even make the Six 'o' Clock news, I mean there already prevent him from presenting half of this years general election and completely shifting him out of the next one and the dudes only 76. You'd think they would find someone better to replace him but instead we have to suffer through Huw Edwards this year and next election. Huw Fuuuuckkkkkkingggg!!!!!!! Edwards!!!!!!!!!

Aside: has anyone noticed recently just how bad the BBC are at reporting the deaths of their own stars/presenters? Gerald Sim, Pamela Cundell and now Tom Coyne all without so much as a mention. Yet they will repeat the shows and have talking heads talking about the days of yore....never really noticed until I started on here.

There is a name that brings back unwelcome memories of Midlands Today Yes, we were an ATV Today household. Midlands Today seemed too 'establishment' for my tastes - mind you I was but a callow youth at the time.

On or after Jan 1st 2016 and make it clear she's in danger a couple of weeks earlier, cheers!

You could have bloody well said "and the father of Juliette Lewis". SC

Ray Charles, (no not that one, this one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Charles_(musician,_born_1918) ), leader of Ray Charles Singers who backed Perry Como and who sang the theme tune to Three's Company, dies at 96. http://variety.com/2015/legit/news/ray-charles-leader-of-ray-charles-singers-who-backed-perry-como-dies-at-96-1201467922/

Sad one, though we still have (the older than Stan) Ken Nordine. Stan, on form: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQNUDOY7goo

I can't stop thinking about those pictures, who are those fuckers lining up for the "honour" of meeting him? They're sadder than the queue for a half-time hot dog at a middle-of-League-2 football match on a freezing cold mid-November afternoon. In the away end.

Sykes?

Im not surprised you "unconsidered" it. You realised that you were top of the list.

Yes. Every time I see him on something I think "hang on, didn't he die? Oh no that was James Last" then I realise James Last is still alive too.

Well, the conservative, very religious Law and Justice Party is still crying over it and demanding more and more statues of their supreme leader, Lech Kaczyński. Even the late President's brother, Jarosław, the former Prime Minister, comes to Kraków (where Lech is buried) every month for a mass. But the rest of the country got over it pretty quickly. We don't really care who or how many government officials die. We've gotten used to the fact that our politicans will always be terrible. Interesting update today on the plane crash....http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-3028965/Leak-suggests-pilots-pressured-2010-Polish-plane-crash.html

Tom Coyne, one of the first presenters of Top Gear, dies at 84. DDP to follow when qualifying obit appears. http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/former-top-gear-host-dies-8995206

Was there only one series of A Fine Romance? That always seemed to be bloody on. Most of the ones you mention were just too cliché-ridden to attract my attention, but I did like Birds Of A Feather because it had some witty writing and LOL lines. Sharon talking about a new tapas bar, or "tap-arse" as she pronounces it. Dorian: It's tap-ATH, Sharon. Tap-ATH! Sharon: Oh, ith IT? Well, it still makes me laugh anyway. A Fine Romance did run for Four Series (I did say some). My problem with Birds of a Feather was that the whole thing seemed to be carried by Lesley Joseph. Linda Robson had no sense of comic timing and it really, really irritated me. Birds of a Feather may well have been the funniest, wittiest sitcom ever penned*, but all three leads really irritated me; consequently, I tended to turn off whenever they started speaking. *It probably wasn't, seeing as how it was written by Laurie & Morrie.

Lol. Neither do I. It's good for form watching. I picked Peter Vaughan this year because he looks/sounds fucked on the last series. Glover on the other hand, has years left.
