    Hooroo, Mate.

    No, he is never mentioned in the media. Don't know what that may say about his state of health. Well, they say kind things now he is dead. He was 85/86 (depending on source). http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-10-07/kingswood-country-star-ross-higgins-dead-aged-86/7913758

    Crap Poetry Corner

    It's that time of year again When verse bursts forth, or summat The day of sonnets, songs and rhymes And other things you might hum at.   So let's review the year so far It's really been a pisser The body count's been piling up But for Deathlist more a "misser".   Famous deaths are what we need Deathlist has only seven Whilst other pools stack them up We've sent so few to heaven.   Michelmore, Reagan and Crowe And Boutros Boutros Ghali Havelange, Vigoda (who thought they'd go?) Not to mention boxer Ali.   So will there be an eighth hit now? When will those listed come? We'd have been better chasing/choosing Some poor old cancer mum.   No-one's grieving Jimmy Greaves Or mourning Rama Nine Tyler Moore is not no more In fact they're all just fine.   Leslie Phillips' no filip Murray Walker's still walking While Chong smokes a bong With our friend Stephen Hawking.   The Reaper's been busy For this recent wee while Though I think he's been following The posts of gcreptile.   So come on Committee! Next year you'll bounce back! Just don't pick the likes Of rhyming Jacques Chirac!   My annual poetic tribute It's really been a blast Though I know that you're thinking Please let it be his last!   But while all these couplets Against poetry's a crime Remember those on the DL Are running out of time!

Former Lord Advocate and former Labour MP for Edinburgh Leith Ronald Murray died on 27 September 2016 aged 94. http://announce.jpress.co.uk/edinburgh-evening-news-and-scotsman-publications/obituary/ronald-j-k-lord-murray/48145000 Might be msc I think awaiting a DDP Obit.

    Dead Pool Ethics

    Depends on the poorly person really. Some might want their last times to be a private affair between friends and family, some might have a great roaring laugh at poolers entering dates on a sweep on their imminent demise. It's not for posters here to make that judgement on their behalf imo. Folk obviously in the public domain take their chances with the media of course...

    I'm sure no cat-aclysmic cat-astrophe or cat-alogue of disaster has befallen your pussy. Some kindly Persian will no doubt spot the pet and notify you accordingly. (Best puns I can do at this hour).
