The Scottish spirits let him know. Second sight, you know? Here's a whole exorcism of them.

Because it happened in 2012?

The latest on Colin Meads is that that Te Kiri Gold Water alternative cancer cure (and you're going to be stunned here) doesn't work. I know, I was shocked too. Not to worry, he's going to keep taking dilute hypochlorous acid, just in case. As for White Van Zan (-dvliet? oh suit yourself), he seems confident he'll see a charity match on June 3rd.

A hopeless smackhead who's throat was numbed and relaxed at the time; don't blame the cherry

I'm up and through the DDP selections regularly. Caught my attention because she was known as Jayde but listed as Jessica.

LOL - as if I can remember our detective work on obscure actors from two years ago!

Like I said...

Great name for a Bond villain.

Looks like Charles Evans' Wiki page was eventually updated too with some death info. He went in 1996.

Fahkin-A, msc, you need to say 'you need to be sitting down' or summat. That link was near lethal. SC

As reported elsewhere, Peter Hansen has died aged 95. http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/latimes/obituary.aspx?pid=185045243

Hope things are getting better Joey.

Just finished reading a biography of Ringo yesterday and there was a curious little aside regarding his All Starr Band tours and the various musos in each line up. Our man Ringo - a reformed druggie and recovering alchie - has apparantly been instrumental (heh heh) in bringing about the reformation of others. Having toured with him and been impressed with Ringo's functionality Dr John put himself into rehab whilst Dave Edmunds got such a shock when he had a medical to check whether he was insurable as an All Starr Band member that he - too - cleaned up his act immediately. Others have simply ended a tour with a resolution to moderate their behaviour and acted accordingly.

Vonnegut had a wonderfully mean-spirited FOX obituary: This pissed off a lot of folk I know at the time, but hey, when I saw it, I thought: man, they really hate this guy. I need to read his stuff NOW! And, it's great. So it goes! Slaughterhouse Five is the standout, but Timequake, Man without a Country, etc, all recommended.

Kurt Vonnegut stopped writing on this day 10 years ago, aged 84.

Not just KvE, the Monster Factory trained some of the biggest names in the game including this thread graduates Bam Bam Bigelow, Pitbull #2, Rocco Rock and Balls Mahoney, and future this thread members The Headbangers, Tony Atlas, Tatanka and JT Southern.

............from the dizzy heights of an ants kneecap to the depths of earwigs dangly bits..............

Bill Sutherland, a Canadian ice hockey player for the Montreal Canadiens (1962-1963), Philadelphia Flyers (1967-1968, 1970-1971), Toronto Maple Leafs (1968-1969), St. Louis Blues (1971) and the Detroit Red Wings (1972), has died aged 82. He scored the Philadelphia Flyers first ever goal, and after playing he began coaching the Winnipeg Jets.

When did he get a new heart?!

I prefer the bar to be set high, the more non-famous picks excluded the better as far as I am concerned.

Ah, where Richard Whiteley made his name! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calendar_(ITV)

Pretty sure all of Viola Beach are gone.

The Kinks are better than both of them if you ask me.

Just last week, the AP corrected her obituary: http://www.lohud.com/story/news/2017/02/17/obit-armonk-pop-star-laura-branigan-corrected-again-12-years-later/98043530/
