Fun-e-ral

Maybe there could be a sort of reverse Dead Pool. People who are presumed dead but actually turn up alive ? Richey Edwards, Lord Lucan, Shergar, Jesus Christ, Rolf Harris’ career, that sort of thing ?

He has been classified as legally dead since 2008, a DL grey area perhaps.

Or a Harry Enfield fan in the 90s.

Not really, that’s why I quoted someone else.

Or a snipers bullet, imagine the shooter, Americans would be in turmoil over wether to give him the chair or a medal of honour.

Bear Grylls or Lewis Hamilton, both relatively young, both have aspects of danger in their chosen careers.

Wise words, thanks.

Hi all, I have watched DL from afar for about 4 years but only recently took the plunge and joined, I have a question to ask of some of the older sythe-sayers on the forums. Does someone actually have to be ill or showing obvious signs of dying to warrant having their own thread ? Is old age enough and if so what age would you class as old ? I don’t want to start pissing people off to be honest. Other than that I would like to say I am really enjoying the page as a whole, lots of knowledgeable members posting interesting stuff (Mostly) Cheers

No, that will be Pete Best .

Tamil actor Kovai Senthil has passed away. He was 74. https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/tamil-actor-kovai-senthil-passes-away-coimbatore-88059

On his way to a full recovery apparently so pencil him in for next years list

n Malaysia, the Menteri Besar(Jawi:منتري بسر; literally "First Minister") is the head of government of each of nine states in Malaysia with hereditary rulers. For four states without a monarch, the title Chief Minister (Ketua Menteri) is used. The title 'Menteri Besar' is usually untranslated in the English media in Malaysia,[1]but is typically translated as 'Chief Minister' by foreign media.[2]According to protocol, all Menteris Besar and Chief Ministers are styled Yang Amat Berhormat (abbreviated YAB), which means "The Most Honourable". Only from wiki but hope it fulfills your curiosity

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-sussex-45155240 Not a celebrity, granted, but just adds weight to your argument that one day, a celebrity, hopefully from TOWIE or some similar tosh, will indeed fall foul to these utter, utter bastards.

Probably for the best.

On second look you are right, he does indeed have a thread, please accept my sincerest apologies. Seeing as the original thread has been dormant for 13 years and Franks still sat on his arse burning rubber I’m not sure now if I needed to bother, just a gut feeling, you know ?
