  1. I was thinking of sometime in May, but now I'd put my money on somewhere around March 8th. It would preferable if it could be a Sunday or a Monday, as that is the longest time to the next batch of Sunday tabloids and we might not have to suffer their awful bleating, as we would if the event occured later in the week.

    Will the funeral be shown live on TV? Perhaps culminating in the hearse proceeding slowly along the A118 to Essex, while thousands of distraught OK readers shower it with bunches of flowers.


  2. Luckily I had the forethought to put the repulsive cave troll on my 09 list. I keep getting this awful recurring thought its going to have its death screened live on Channel 4 or sell the photo rights to Hello! magazine


  3. Here's my list for 2009. i'm still hoping time cathes up with the surviving WW1 veterans. Colin Welland is a unique pick and I'm hoping Robbie Williams will provide us all with a laugh, as he's my joker

    2. Ronnie Biggs

    3. Fidel Castro

    4. Kirk Douglas

    5. Clive Dunn

  4. Emphysema did for my grandfather, though he was about eighty and had smoked for about seventy of those. He did linger on for quite a while though. We can only hope her hangers-on convince her to smoke more crack. Its a pity Pete Doherty hasn't taken a leaf out of Amy's book recently


  5. Sky News has it

    Sci-Fi Writer Arthur C. Clarke Dies

     

    Updated:22:00, Tuesday March 18, 2008

    The science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke, who wrote more than 100 books including 2001: A Space Odyssey, has died in Sri Lanka at the age of 90, according to an aide.

     

    Clarke, who had suffered since the 1960s from debilitating post-polio syndrome and sometimes used a wheelchair, died after suffering breathing problems, said the aide, Rohan De Silva.

     

    Clarke lived in Sri Lanka, where he moved in 1956 after embarking on a study of the Great Barrier Reef.

     

    He was regarded as far more than a science fiction writer.

     

    He was credited with the concept of communications satellites in 1945, decades before they became a reality.

     

    More to follow...


  6. If he's still breathing come the end of December, he's going on my list for sure. And a good few others no doubt. It seems that selecting several seemingly healthy Hollywood actors might be a good idea, on the basis that at least one might suffer an unexpected death in the following twelve months.


  7. Pancreatic cancer can be fatal very quickly if you have the wrong type. It seems no lucky sod managed to select him as a pick on the DDP, that could have been a unique pick. It seems strange that this has come out in the same week as Jeff Healey shuffling off. I wonder if the film Roadhouse has some sort of curse on it all of a sudden


  8. Yep it is a shame he was quite a good actor and quite a good looking one might I add.It is a waste.

    Every year I t ry to think of some random person to use as my DDP joker. Why can I think of people like this? :)
