Oh, MPFC, dear oh dear oh dear. Iain has already been berated, in this very thread, for posting this ages after Lady Die, and not only have you posted it long after she did, you've posted it WELL after Iain did! Hang your head in shame, MPFC. I suspect they still receive the news by telegram in Maryport

Why, thank you DWB, I just did! Link saved away for future replays.

The leader of the Official IRA in Derry on Bloody Sunday, Johnny White, has died: http://www.derryjournal.com/viewarticle.as...ticleid=2844707 The usual shenanigans at his funeral: http://www.ireland.com/newspaper/breaking/.../breaking40.htm

Al Hunter Ashton who played "Pitbull" in "London's Burning" and was also an Eastenders scriptwriter has died aged 49.

Spotted that one earlier MPFC, but thought I'd leave it to your good self to pay tribute...

I've got mine so don't need to, guess which one is me ( I don't think my profile pic will help!) Is that Charlie Kennedy in the middle of the front row?! hic! By the way, that Russian exchange student on the far right is a big lass for her age!

So you reckon someone traumatized by a person's death would start looking on a site like this? ... Oh, wait, they do, don't they?! I can never fathom out the logic of such ranters!

Pot calling kettle! Oh, dave, you are priceless! I love the way you waited 5 days to point this out!

Honorary vice-president of Chelsea FC apparently killed in helicopter accident: http://uk.news.yahoo.com/skynews/20070502/...nd-45dbed5.html "Mr [Phillip] Carter, 44, is worth £92m and is Britain's 770th wealthiest person, according to The Sunday Times Rich List." Note to self: If I ever become a director of Chelsea, don't get in a helicopter!

Getting slightly off topic now, but this morning our local radio station played the wonderful version (from 2004) of Pulp's "Common People" by William Shatner and Joe Jackson! Has to be heard to be believed - it's actually damn good! Also, I remember getting chatting with a very prolific session musician at a party once. He had worked on stuff for Paul McCartney and confirmed the story about "sound engineers isolating Linda McCartney's microphone at a Wings concert, and recording the result" (quote from her Wiki entry) and said that the same used to happen in the recording studio also.

I reckon that's cack. He only had the wimpy type of meningitis, I think the death rumour is wishful thinking. Although I think he's all right, his wife's a dog, he's just been dragged into the merry-go-round of nastiness that is Jordan. Or perhaps he's a twat. Who knows? Peter Andre Officially Not Dead: http://www.hecklerspray.com/peter-andre-of...ad/20068137.php "Peter Andre – a slab-jawed mannequin with the intellectual capacity of a grapefruit and a wife who looks like a Daily Star reader’s ‘special’ sister– was rushed to hospital last week when it emerged that he was suffering from meningitis."

Story by a Man standing in a queue in Tesco's......... I have 2 dogs & I was buying a large bag of Winalot in Tesco and was standing in the queue at the till. A woman behind me asked if I had a dog. On impulse, I told her that no, I was starting The Winalot Diet again, although I probably shouldn't because I'd ended up in the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms. I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and the way that it works is to load your trouser pockets with Winalot nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry & that the food is nutritionally complete so I was going to try it again. I have to mention here that practically everyone in the queue was by now enthralled with my story, particularly a guy who was behind her. Horrified, she asked if I'd ended up in the hospital in that condition because I had been poisoned. I told her no, it was because I'd been sitting in the road licking my balls and a car hit me. I thought one guy was going to have a heart attack he was laughing so hard as he staggered out the door. Stupid cow..........why else would I buy dog food??

Granny Mary, "believed to be the oldest person in Jamaica" has died "aged 128" http://www.jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/200...ead/lead10.html

Lo! The ignorant one strikes again. Reported here earlier for those of us who know how to use a search engine. Take your ambivalence elsewhere, please. I spotted that Tom Cartwright's death had been reported in the "possibilities" thread earlier. I did think to suggest that it might have been better noted in this one, but I suppose that wouldn't have given our dear friend dave the opportunity to display his laughable ignorance once again! Still, even if it had been placed here in BIG RED LETTERS one wonders if he would have noticed...

Yes, you useless cuntbucket. About six posts above your one. I suppose it's a bit beyond you to think of looking on the current page? Twat. PS, if a mod wants to warn me for being rude to this idiot, please feel free. My warn-o-meter has remained at zero since it was introduced, and it would be nice to see what being warned does to it. Rick, I am rapidly drawing to one of two conclusions: 1. dave is most certainly iain and even more brainless than we originally gave "it" credit for (based on his recent propensity for duplicating reporting of deaths) 2. dave is one of the other regulars trying to wind us all up by pretending to be more stupid than the amoebic equivalent of Father Dougal If the latter is the case, it's certainly worked on yourself and OoO!

As they would say in Walford: Leave it, Odstock, 'es not worf it!

Mahmoud Guendouz Don't ask me to translate, but it would appear that he is /was the coach of the Algerian football club US Biskra. Looks pretty healthy in the pic!

John MacLeod, chief of the MacLeod clan, who (in)famously "caused outrage in 2000 when he tried to sell part of the Cuillin range for £10m to raise the money needed to repair Dunvegan Castle's leaking roof" has died of leukaemia aged 71.

Although a long way from being the world's oldest, I think this lady deserves a mention: Helen S Barth has died aged 109. Impressive to see someone leading such an active life for so long.

Carl Friedrich von Weizsaecker has died aged 94. "Carl Friedrich von Weizsaecker, a physicist who helped research atomic weapons for the Nazis during World War II, but later dedicated his life to pacifism and philosophy has died, his family said. He was 94." He was also the elder brother of former German president Richard von Weizsaecker.

FYI VSBfH The Royal bank of Scotland still issue £1 notes Do cash machines in Scotland (or the IOM for that matter) allow you to draw a total of £1? I guess not, though it might help to perpetuate a certain myth about Scots people...

Dear old Reg got a mention on "Have I Got News For You" (and in the following link from the "Sun") this week. 2007 is apparently the 40th anniversary of the first hole-in-the-wall cash machine in Great Britain. "Comedy actor Reg Varney, star of TV sitcom On The Buses, became the first person in the country to use a hole-in-the-wall machine on June 27, 1967, in Enfield, North London. He withdrew £10 in ten £1 notes." Ah, £1 notes! Nostalgia time!

A great shame - as a friend of both Shostakovich and Britten, he was one of the last links with the great composers of the 20th century, as well as a consummate teacher, musician and conductor. RIP, Slava. Very sad. He had an infectious sense of humour too. Just noting quote in Pravda's article about ' his love for the five Fs - "fiddles, food, females, friends and fodka." '

William "Sonny Boy" Petulengro has died, "The founder of Britain's most famous fortune telling family " http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/tm_headl...-name_page.html Maybe not an immediately familiar name, but those of us who have walked down Blackpool prom and seen the many fortune-telling booths bearing the Petulengro name will make the connection! Go on, I know someone wants to do a "didn't see that one coming" joke...

In a similar vein to the earlier ones... What does D.N.A. stand for? National Dyslexia Association ... or Roses are red Violets are blue I'm schizophrenic And so am I
