Am afraid this goes down in the great pantheon of Deathlist Forum predictions alongside Death Impends on Abe Vigoda, Sir Creep on Howard Marks and Jenny Diski, etc etc...

The world's leading expert on European wasps walks into a record shop. He asks the assistant “Do you have ‘European Vespidae Acoustics Volume 2? I believe it was released this week.” “Certainly,” replies the assistant. “Would you like to listen before you buy it?” "That would be wonderful," says the expert, and puts on a pair of headphones. He listens for a few moments and says to the assistant, “I'm terribly sorry, but I am the world's leading expert on European wasps and this is not accurate at all. I don't recognize any of those sounds. Are you sure this is the correct recording?” The assistant checks the turntable, and replies that it is indeed European Vespidae Acoustics Volume 2. The assistant apologizes and lifts the needle onto the next track. Again the expert listens for a few moments and then says to the assistant, "No, this just can't be right! I've been an expert in this field for 43 years and I still don't recognize any of these sounds." The assistant apologizes again and lifts the needle to the next track. The expert throws off the headphones as soon as it starts playing and is fuming with rage. "This is outrageous false advertising! I am the world's leading expert on European wasps and no European wasp has ever made a sound like the ones on this record!" The manager of the shop overhears the commotion and walks over. "What seems to be the problem, sir?" "This is an outrage! I am the world's leading expert on European wasps. Nobody knows more about them than I do. There is no way in hell that the sounds on that record were made by European wasps!" The manager glances down and notices the problem instantly. "I'm terribly sorry, sir. It appears we've been playing you the bee side."

Happy birthday, your Majesty. May it not be your last, so that you can enjoy more time on this planet and frustrate more posters over here.

A poor man meets a rich man around Christmas. The poor man asks the rich man, "What are you getting your wife this Christmas?" The rich man replies, "Diamond earrings and a Mercedes." The poor man asks, "Why are you getting her two gifts?" The rich man says, "Well, if she doesn't like the earrings then she can drive to the store and exchange them." The poor man nods. Then the rich man asks him, "So what are you getting your wife this year?" The poor man thinks about it for a second and replies, "A pair of slippers and a dildo." The rich man asks, "Why those two things?" The poor man astutely reponds, "This way, if she doesn't like the slippers she can go f*ck herself."

Only off by two days!

If the plebs at the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame still haven't gotten around around to electing Kraftwerk then Portishead,Massive Attack,Bjork etc won't get considered until 2040 or so

Not necessarily... Chimpanzees are capable of learning from their mistakes and have never, as far as I am aware, been white supremacist two faced backstabbers with the launch codes to human annihilation...

I'm croakin' in New Orleans...

Thank you. Thank you very much. You put an extraneous "r" in there, by the way.

To be fair, he was one of the better picks from a lot of meh picks, and he had suffered a major health issue last year. That's why he's on the list now. If there aren't a few more deaths this year, I would personally remove him from the list, but that's just me...

Eh. They're only doing it because the NRA and Senate money mean nothing to them or their re-election bid (They're all going to die or retire soon) The real heroes are those that are making themselves vulnerable with their votes (Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, etc)

The above picture is one of those you go "wanker, wanker, wanker, dead, dead, wanker, wanker..."

3 and a half months later...

Geoffrey Chaucer put down his quill for the last time on this day 617 years ago, either 56 or 57 years old.

Recent pictures form his birthday celebration, looks healthier than almost all picks plus some of the posters here. Remind me why did they choose this guy again?

96 today.

Ah crap! I thought he was brilliant in 'soap'.

That would obviously imply "Killary" was president. The letter was from outgoing Pres. to President, not election loser to election winner.

Robert Guillaume, the voice of Rafiki in Disney's The Lion King, has died at 89.

Ahhh, now I've certainly wanted to see Jackie Abbott and Mr Heaton for a while now. Not normally my kind of thing but, together, they make it work for me.

He should resign as fast as Naz Shah did ie not at all. He apologised, he just needs to put his head down and in a few days the next scandal will show up and he'll be forgotten. My former MP once called me a "fucking Fascist". I laughed. I suppose nowadays you're expected to tell Guido/The Mirror/whoever and try to get them to quit or something.

He's one of my picks. Surprised that he didn't get an obit here in Minnesota since he did the radio commercials for the Minnesota Twins

By the time you're waiting for a royal funeral, we could have nine living current or former PMs: 1. Major 2. Blair 3. Brown 4. Cameron 5. May 6. May's successor 7. The Person who replaces May's successor 8. Corbyn 9. The Person MI6 replace Corbyn with 10 hours after election

fats, because thats what he is and being overweight isnt good especially not in your later life. i honestly think Richard Thorpe could have lived longer if it hadn't been for weight problems Besides, Anthony (aka fats), along with Bruce and Mark Eden all had a birth date of february 1928, so they'd have the thing of being born close together and dying close together
