Gooseberry Crumble

Wow we have our 14th hit. Three deaths in as many days.

A dream that turned ultimately into a nightmare for the shows ratings! The turning of the tide with Dallas ratings can be pinpointed to that dream season reveal. It really cost the show. Perhaps the dead not dead Den Watts and Kathy Beale from EastEnders would be a better example!

Anythings possible I guess! After all Bobby Ewing rose from the dead in Pams shower!

Not sure where this goes but a notorious alleged purveyor of fake news in America Paul Horner has died aged 38 not so long ago.

I voted Bob Dole.

I remember that either the night in early 2008 when Liz Dawn's last episode of Corrie aired or on the day it was announced she'd be leaving the show (I think it was almost certainly the former) Tony Booth giving an interview about it on Channel 4 news. He was singing the praises of the old style feisty northern battleaxe female characters in Corrie and how they were sadly becoming a rarity. He gave huge praise to Liz and how she made Vera Duckworth such a unique special character. He ended the interview by saying God Bless her. It was really sweet and when I realised they both died so close together I almost immediately rembered this interview and felt the fitting ironic poignancy of it.

Well spotted Joey. In fairness it's a decent assessment of each name as was the one you did recently but Fats Domino and Pope Benedict I think are likely 'contenders' of those still left.

Unless my eyesight is letting me down you forgot the Pope!

88 today! Given some of the rumours I think she should definitely be on the committees radar

Best of luck. I hope you succeed.

I need to make a point of watching Raging Bull.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-4898930/Sean-Connery-87-looks-frail-New-York-stroll.html Article in the Daily Mail commenting how frail he looks whilst out walking with a cane and a carer assisting. I do think he should be on future deathlists as he is too iconic to miss.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/sep/12/eu-withdrawal-bill-labour-rebels-abstain-or-vote-with-government It seems Tory MP Nick Boles who has only recently just won his 'battle'with cancer for the second time was absent from last night's historic potentially very tight vote. Now of course it could be something minor but there was talk the government whips were anxious to get every tory MP even some in hospital in for the vote. Perhaps he is rather ill again and worthy of consideration for next year?

I thought it was a dementia storyline they were doing with Rita not a brain tumour? I've not watched the show for a few years but that's what I read in the press and online.

Well going back to this post of mine from a few weeks ago it seems ever more likely Random org may be right even clairvoyant...

On this day September 8th in 1970 American Physicist and inventor of the microwave oven Percy Spencer died in Massachusetts aged 76. Someone who indeed did revolutionise and change many lives especially in the west! Born in 1894 he was a respected expert in radar tub design by 1939. He worked for raytheon and helped them win a contract with the US government to research, design and create combat radar equipment during World War two. Indeed the project was the second biggest priority of the US military after the Manhattan project. His patent for a microwave oven was filed on October 8th 1945.

Can't get a proper link yet but still trying but apparently according to the National Enquirer and The Globe Bob Barker collapsed at his wife's grave and has said he is ready to die or something akin to that. I'm not saying it's accurate given the source but felt it was worth flagging up. Got a link of sorts now

Marge Champion is now 98 today!! Definitely needs to be on the committees radar for next year

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/estate-agent-stephanie-slater-who-11092087 Famous kidnap victim estate agent Stephanie Slater has died of cancer aged 50. She was kidnapped in 1992 and it was a very prominent case at the time. She spent eight days locked in a box. Convicted murderer of Julie Dart Michael Sams was her kidnapper.

When I tried Random Org I typed in all the names to be randomised but forgot Stan Lee. That time Robert Mugabe came up as the next hit. When I corrected my error and added Stan Lee it was Liz Dawn who came up as the next hit. Interestingly 2 of the older people on the list Vera Lynn and Herman Wouk didn't really feature at all in the top ten names. Barely at all and the least of almost anyone after randomising the same list twenty times! I'm sure it means absolutely nothing at all but I found it interesting so thought I would share!

I'm curious why you give Bob Barker very little chance of dying?
