Ex-Men: Oranges - Former Protestant leaders.

Fairly standard end times (could have drawn this up in my bedroom in 5 minutes), but was interested to note that the last item was "the unknown" with the folks calling for research into "the unknown". Almost name on a coke bottle stuff! http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/the-12-terrifying-ways-researchers-think-human-civilisation-is-most-likely-to-end-10046945.html

Merrill Grant, producer on Kate & Allie, reported deceased. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/merrill-grant-dead-kate-allie-773475

What do you mean? Next year there will be a DDP team called The Entire Human Race By the time they've worked through the adult sites....

Mouldy Old Doh! - voice actors on The Simpsons.

This chap has decided that now is the time to send out a message to the aliens. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-31442952 I particularly enjoyed this part: "My personal preference is to send the internet - send it all because if you send a lot of information then there's some chance that they'll work it out". Assuming Sky haven't automatically used their family friendly filtering, I assume it may be some considerable time before we hear from out there....

Just posted this over on Dead of 2015 too, belt n braces. Peace.

Diamond Dallas Page in the hospital, shame so soon after the Royal Rumble (which was mostly awful) http://www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/2015/0207/589261/diamond-dallas-page-currently-hospitalized-with-serious-throat/

Ah, one of my DDP receives a lifetime achievement award (or as I like to call it, fast tracking fatalness). http://www.scotsman.com/lifestyle/arts/news/stanley-baxter-lands-lifetime-achievement-award-1-3677055

They would say that, but he seems to be ok, despite them picking out his tomb site. http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/01/28/us-cuba-castro-idUSKBN0L12SA20150128

Back In Your Box (People who have technically "died", been resuscitated, and spend the rest of their existence going on and on and on about the glory of heaven yada yada) Hanging's To Good For 'Em (Those who should die horribly) One Direction - Down! (Boy band members who should meet Satan) The Rights Are Going Out Across Europe (European right wing extremists). Peace, YW.

Dai A Virgin (Welsh persons under 20) The Adams Family (People named Adam or have Adam(s) as a surname) This Parliament Is Dissolved (Politicians who support our "family of nations") Just Burying A Stiff (People who are expected to die during intercourse). I'll think up some more. Peace, YW.

Got a link? Ta , Peace YW.

Not really. You only need a list of 23 to be even money for 2 to share the same day, and with 23 , a triple birthday is around one in six chance. Can't be added working it out for fifty, but it isn't really a coincidence. Thanks Charon, not a statistician myself, I think I noticed a couple of others who shared a birfday. Just bored that night, thought it was interesting given that the people on the list also had to have some kind of fame in addition to being on a list, not simply 20 or 50 randoms (ah, that brings back my youth in Glasgow's underbelly club scene). Peace, YW.

Narrow miss with Leslie Phillips, there's still time...

The main deathlist has 3 people (Zsa Zsa, Patrick Macnee and Denis Norden) born on 6 February, which out of only 50 is somewhat of a coincidence. Two teams in DDP have these three as well, 3 out of only 20 picks. Let's hope they are not all travelling together that day for a joint party! Was passing the time, don't get out much since my bereavements and my recent heart attack. Shame I'm not famous really...

Hmmm, he's not well http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2932108/Carry-legend-Leslie-Phillips-rushed-hospital-turning-black-blue-seizure-west-London-home.html

Maggie Jones. I was trying to think of the 4th myself but I'd forgotten about Bill Tarmey! she died back in 2009. Wow!! Feels more recent than that. In that case I've got no idea who Guest Guest is talking about!! Lyndam Gregory (Sammy Patel) was last year, but I'd hardly class him as major...

You could add John Noakes (Blue Peter) to that list. I didn't realize until just now that he turned 80 last May. You mean we could "Go With Noakes". Well, he did look...tired on Pointless last year. I'll add Michael Rodd and Judith Hann, just cos I just remembered them.

Every year there is a "surprise" death, one from your childhood perhaps who suddenly curls up after being out of the spotlight for a while or one who is incredibly active and just goes too soon. If they survive this year, my suggestions for the ones that make you go "Awww!!!" are: Heinz Wolff (Egg Race); Brian Cant (Play Away, etc.); Jim Dale (Carry On Actor); Derek Griffiths (still voicing ads in the UK, amigo, Kids' TV presenter); Julia McKenzie (Fresh and French Fields); Miriam Margolyes (almost anything you've ever seen).
