Woo Hoo http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2015/06/16/kirk-kerkorian-dead-las-vegas-chrysler/28804065/ Now what's frightening is that 3 of the 5 people I reSearched have died in a month! The only two left are Reagan and Dole. They better watch their step. Sir Creep

Pancreatic. The reaction to which is basically "Oh fuck!".

Death sentence confirmed: http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2015/06/egypt-court-upholds-morsi-death-sentence-150616104041261.html Edit: Other notable death sentences confirmed as well, for example, that of cleric Yusuf al-Qaradawi.

Mr new Morbidkid You'll note in general it's increments of 5. At least that's the way it was. Otherwise you'd post the same obits every year. when someone other than you gives a fuck I'll stop besides these are pretty significant deaths like when I a family member dies do I stop mourning there death if its not a increment of 5

Maybe this will inspired the admins to finally write that Christoper Lee obit.

Bloody hell looks like the Deathlist could be heading for a record this year!

One would think a diet of bread and water would do wonders for her condition.

Repeat ad infinitum I am not a civil servent. Yes I came from a working class background but for me Christopher Lee was a superb actor who had a remarkable and long career. He was not known for making political statements and I would not have held them against him. I was a big fan of Patrick Moore and he was well known Tory (later UKIP) supporter but he was a great astronomer and science communicator. They say you become more right wing as you get older . Maybe because people accumulate wealth or wise up or just get pissed off about everything ? The left wing parties (certainly in this country) tend to try and cater to all sets of voters and they end up not making any of them happy . Labour accused of being pro immigrants ,pro ethnic minorities and forgetting the white working class but large chunks of the ethnic vote actually voted conservative especially hindu and sikh and a good chunk of the white working class went to UKIP. That was one of the key reasons they lost the election well that and treating the Scottish people like fools. Labour like to jump on bandwagons to get votes the conservative party know who their core supporters are and stick with them. I thought the main reason was because Ed Milliband lacked any charisma and people just couldn't envisage him leading the country. Tell that to Clement Attlee, Ted Heath and John Major. We're not like America yet, you know...

Mr new Morbidkid You'll note in general it's increments of 5. At least that's the way it was. Otherwise you'd post the same obits every year. It's never been in increments of 5.

What about the grandson Winston Churchill (very imaginative these nobs), MP for Davyhulme and Stretford, died in 2010 Indeed, he was a DDP score for me. Another of his grandsons, Nicholas Soames is or was an MP. Nicolas is still an MP for mid sussex . He's also fat as fuck, still partial to a snack and - arguably - a heart attack waiting to happen, just sayin', like.

is that because Lee was a tory supporter or what? No, it's because a vampire's image doesn't show in a mirror. He who takes something apart to find out what it is has left the path of wisdom. I think Gandalf said something like that to Saruman (keep it topical) but the thing it applies most to is.... .... A Joke

Maybe his support for the Conservative party helped his portrayal of an evil bloodsucker - some people can take method acting too far.

So you have to be poor to be 'left-wing'? It's possible to be fiscally conservative, but left-wing on social issues. In the US most people who are rich (with the exception of film stars) are right-wing. Purely because they support policies that the Republicans and Tea Party candidates put forward which are things like tax breaks for the high income set. There's a greater rich-poor divide here. I fail to see the irony at all. Personally i'm left-wing and I was just as upset as I've always admired Christopher Lee's acting and also his approach to acting. Naturally if you've been working for as many years as he has, made a name for yourself that people are going to want to go to see a film because you're in it, of course he'd have earnt himself enough money to afford 3 flats in some well-to-do areas of London. Perhaps he rents out a couple of them and uses the rent as additional income. The ones i have no respect for are the ones who rather than being self-made millionaires who built their fortunes from nothing, have just inherited the money and treated those around them like shit.

Following Christopher Lee's death, The Sun have written a full article about Dracula. He didn't appear in The Mirror though

Easier said than done...

Maybe not. There are a lot of contenders for the Republican nomination... Ted Cruz, Rick Santorum, Rand Paul to name a few with the biggest shots... not as obvious as with the Democrats, where Hillary Clinton is definitely going to get the nomination. Also, maybe it's time to make a thread for the 2016 election in extra-curricular? We have the London Mayoral election before that but I suppose the primaries will begin in January. The trouble with the Republican race is that from outside they mostly look like a bunch of nut jobs. Jeb Bush looks at least vaguely electable and has a hispanic wife.

Bush v Clinton II, what a depressing prospect...

and potentially the dynasty might get another shot at the top job.

No, but he sired junior.

I was researching Nash, CLee, Reagan, Dole, and Kerkorian a couple weeks ago, cuz I wanted some reason to include them next year. Four hours later Nash died; two weeks and Christopher Lee dies. Of the three remaining, Kerkorian is older than dirt. I vote Kirk. SC

At the risk of sounding like a grumpy bitch (moi?) - who gives a fuck if an old thread is posted in? If the post is vaguely relevant to the thread that's being 'resurrected' does it really matter? Enjoy the ride and share the love, dudes.
