Graciano Rocchigiani, two-weight world champion probably most famous for ah fuck someone's already typing it up aren't they?

Pre-internet, innit. Look at Bette Davis showing up post-death because none of them read the newspaper that day. So instead of research*, basically a lot of "not seen X on TV in some time" and so and so must be quite old now. Hence Clive Dunn. Anyhow remember that in the days before mass internet use, the points for Roy Rogers in the DDP only got added in 1999 when they found out. As in, died in July 1998, mega movie star Rogers. Miss the 10 seconds on the news or the wee paragraph in a newspaper and...well. *Yeah, I know...

^ Two posts not naming the deceased. Please remember to give the name or it will not show up in a search.

BTW as you can see I clearly had a typo with ND Tiwari, which was supposed to be 'Do Muoi'. Damn keyboard.

We are still behind all the years that delivered 14 or more hits but we are ahead of the one year that delivered 13. I am thinking 13 will be the final tally. Just guessing Herman Wouk Leah Bracknell Vera Lynn.

D is for Do. Not Do a deer a female deer. Do Muoi. Unique D for SC, no one had him for M.

His?

Mary Tyler Moore ?

Fake news; it was a pig.

Nah, there's a tit model doing the rounds of the usual suspects this week talking about her terminal cancer and the alternative methods she's using to treat it. Doesn't strike me as a 2019 death but I can see a lot of people picking her because she's so young.

Tito

If you knew Peggy SueThen you'd know why I feel blue without Peggy

Do Muoi gets a Daily Mail Obit: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-6229707/Vietnams-former-Communist-Party-Chief-Do-Muoi-dies-101.html Fixed Business and Sir Creep hit. No bonuses, leaderboard updated.

Pardon me....I was trying to remember the name of the singer he punched and went off and looked mid-comment and forgot to put in his name. It is Australian sports journalist, Ron Casey.

Peggy Sue Gerron, the inspiration for the Buddy Holly song 'Peggy Sue', has died. She was 78. http://www.kcbd.com/2018/10/01/peggy-sue-dies-age/

I wonder who’ll take his place on Eggheads....

Alot of 94 year olds can suddenly drop dead. Sounds like a sudden heart attack to me.

For those who've never heard the full version of the "Rainbow" theme, it's a prog folk madness.

Looking at this thread reminds me many years ago I compiled a list of all Muppet Show guests (original series only) and whether they were still among the living or had passed. Every now and then I update it when a guest dies. I believe this is now an accurate listing The list is in order of appearance: MUPPET GUESTS GUEST STATUS Juliet Prowse dead Connie Stevens alive Joel Grey alive Ruth Buzzi alive Rita Moreno alive Jim Nabors dead Florence Henderson dead Paul Williams alive Charles Aznavour alive dead Harvey Korman dead Peter Ustinov dead Bruce Forsyth dead Sandy Duncan alive Candice Bergen alive Avery Schreiber dead Ben Vereen alive Phyllis Diller dead Vincent Price dead Valerie Harper alive dead Twiggy alive Ethel Merman dead Kaye Ballard alive dead Mummenschanz alive (all except Andres Bossard) Don Knotts dead Zero Mostel dead Milton Berle dead Rich Little alive Judy Collins alive Nancy Walker dead Edger Bergen / Teresa Brewer dead (both) Steve Martin alive Madeline Kahn dead George Burns dead Dom DeLuise dead Bernadette Peters alive Rudolf Nureyev dead Elton John alive Lou Rawls dead Cleo Laine alive Julie Andrews alive Jaye P.

The 2018 list has now overtaken 2013 which resulted in 13 hits but is still two hits behind 2015 which resulted in 14 hits. So I think the range 12-14 is where it will finish.

The person who gave me this flu. Proper flu as well , confined to bed.
