Not so many "Je Suis Charlie" posts about now, is there?

And now a musical interlude: https://youtu.be/4AVWZwZq_QU

Updated to include centenarian French actress Renée Simonot (Catherine Deneuve's Mum), Elena Lucena and Lukas Ammann. Dora Doll has died at the age of 93. https://translate.google.co.uk/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.lefigaro.fr%2Fflash-actu%2F2015%2F11%2F16%2F97001-20151116FILWWW00360-la-comedienne-dora-doll-est-decedee.php&edit-text= According to the article, she died 15 November, though Wiki currently has her dying in February? Eek, I prefer the article. Edit: Don't forget that Elena Lucena is also dead. Just if you are updating, like.

John Anderson, one of the last survivors of the sinking of USS Arizona at Pearl Harbor, has died at 98. http://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/best-reads/2015/11/16/pearl-harbor-uss-arizona-survivor-john-anderson-dies/75878586/ Touching video including his testimony on the link.

so it was the eve of destruction for your family's ears? Hey MBK. I'm a gifted amateur he he. Good comeback though. I think Eve of Destruction is still quite an apt song, given the words over on the Terrorist thread at the mo.

P F Sloan has died at 70 from pancreatic cancer. http://www.ew.com/article/2015/11/16/pf-sloan-dead-dies Probably his best known hit was Eve Of Destruction: https://youtu.be/qfZVu0alU0I Which is one of my karaoke numbers. RIP.

You have seen the Rushes and they are looking good. Film at 11.

Bad luck DrZ! Guardian Obit qualifies: http://www.theguardian.com/film/2015/nov/16/saeed-jaffrey-bollywood-and-british-screen-legend-dies-aged-86

Death Notice for Winfield Scott who has died at 95. http://www.tributes.com/obituary/show/Winfield-Scott-102970166 He co-wrote Return To Sender, as well as hits for Peggy Lee and Connie Francis. https://youtu.be/Z54-QHEZN6E

Saeed Jaffrey, Bollywood star with numerous British film and TV appearances has died at 86. http://www.ibtimes.co.in/gandhi-actor-saeed-jaffery-dies-86-654948 Edit: One DDP team had him and await a qualifier, which should be no problem.

Undergoes a further gastric bypass operation. Apparently recovering well. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-3319805/Diego-Maradona-recovering-undergoing-gastric-bypass-Venezuela.html

Crikey, the DDP BBC obits keep stacking up! One team gets whipped up and enjoys the Payne!

I think Pearl Carr has just had a birthday. Here's a Guardian article that mentions a show broadcast containing a tribute marking Teddy Johnson's 95th birthday last year. Safe to say I think they are both still alive if we haven't heard differently. http://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2014/sep/13/david-hepworth-radio-review

Well, after nine years of ticking, Vincent Margera is suffering from liver and kidney failure. Reportedly dead. https://twitter.com/joefrantzrules/status/665870586523054080

"Sir Terry had been due to host the TV event alongside Tess Daly, Rochelle Humes, Nick Grimshaw and Fearne Cotton." Dear God, I'd have pulled out the minute I saw who my co-hosts were - talentless buffoons!

Phil Taylor's BBC Obit: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-34803204

Phil Philthy Taylor has died according to Fast Eddie's FB page. https://www.facebook.com/fasteddieclarke83/photos/a.765487846794583.1073741829.765466173463417/1081804138496284/?type=3&theater One DDP team awaiting formal identification.

And now we are entertaining Modi from India (also having a meal with Her Majesty). Modi's record on human rights is hardly spectacular - see tuppence rant above. And here's the story from the Mail (sorry to quote, but it's pertinent) about the money that the UK gives and is giving to India (btw, one of the top fastest growing world economies in the world) in international development aid, despite promising to cease it by this year. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2947400/Lunar-cy-India-gets-cash-British-aid-send-250million-rocket-moon.html Meanwhile we are trotting out celebrities for Children In Need so the British public can put their collective hands in their pocket to support kids in poverty in the UK. Lovely. Edit: India would also be richer if it actually collected all the taxes due and tackled local corruption. Today the UK announced a closure plan for HMRC offices who could also tackle non-payment of taxes here.

According to the site Sir C quoted, he has in fact died, according to an update on the mother's FB page. http://soaps.sheknows.com/soaps/news/45656/soap-alum-nathaniel-marston-in-critical-car-accident

Hey coming into the time of the season for making your lists and checking them twice. So I've completed drafts of 2 of my allowed 3 DDP teams (I think I'll be allowed 3?). Just obviously awaiting the new rules etc. It's harder than I thought (ooh, matron, ding dong!).

^^ Cheers DDT! I'll never keep up! I'd completely forgotten about Franny Schwartz for example, not necessarily in the context of appearing on a recording, but for breaking up McCartney and Asher. This thread will run for a while by the looks of it!

Andy White, the session drummer who played on early Beatles' tracks, has died at 85. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-34785987 Edit: Dang, simultaneous with VT! Edit 2: Looks like Jimmie Nicol is still on the go according to Wiki, but he's much younger (76). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmie_Nicol Can't think off the top of my head any other musicians who appeared with The Beatles from their first album up to the split who are still alive.

The news that Betsy Drake has died at 92 back on October 27th breaks on a fast news day. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/betsy-drake-dead-cary-grant-838970 Note: Only posted here because of the previous reference by Handrejka. And another of my possibles for next year bites the dust. Sorry I'm the bearer of bad tidings Handrejka.
