Stayin Alive

Maybe Grandma Simpson, she die on the toilet?

Cosmetics = fashion = cosmetics = fashion = bullshit

4Horsemen - There is no harm in being premature. None at all. Stats - sounds like you are saying there is a like a window of oppurtunity where re-marriage must take place before the nominee begins to slide downwards. Yeti - I think we need to look at our HTML character entities! It should be E with french accent.

do da da... da der.... i'm snuffing it

You have to be careful not to dress things up too much though, no matter how tempting. Not sure I get "The fate of Estee Lauder", but its just as well as we are going with the first. I take it you linked to an Australian site to keep the southern hemisphere crowd happy DWB

and get a trophy cabinet to put on the wall!

Oh, I like that DWB. Maybe Reaper will go with it. It's our holding headline for now

Come on Derby, update your pages !!

Yes, famous.

Hmmm, caught a glimpse of him. He did have a touch of frost kind of look about him. Not sure he is ready for the list just yet though. He's only 64 and I think we can leave the worrying until we get a lifetime achievement award or three, or even Ronnie Barker style tributes, but perhaps that is difficult to predict. That's why we need some people working in TV on the forum, to give us the heads up.

Is it just people or can we have Blue Peter pets and animals on the list?

"And just when you thought Maradona was the next big name football player to hear the final whistle, news comes through of the death of Bobby Simpson, goalkeeper for the Lisbon Lions Celtic team back in 1967." Life's a pitch.

Oh Reaper, you've got such a WKD sense of humor...

Ronnie, what the hell are you doing reading the Standard? You've been fooled into reading it, no doubt, by those "FAMOUS AUSTRALIAN ACTOR DIES" (see p.98) billboards. I suggest The Tribune or Wall Street Journal, it would probably be more your cup of tea, sorry, McCappuccino.

Apparently, Maradona is dribbling his way to the box...

Not the one with the deep voice then...

How about a link that works?

A good point Beatle!

No badges for the Deathlist children then. This seems to be the first I've heard of it. Was this kept quiet?

Whilst researching this one, I note that old Phyllis has 8 books entitled "Secret of the..." and 10 entitled "Mystery of the..." in the juvenile mysteries section, out of a total of 20 titles. Apart from the Vanashing Scarecrow and the Island of Dark Woods, they are all pretty similar. Although, I note that she later decided to firmly address this situation in 1967, re-issuing Dark Woods as Mystery of the Strange Traveller, leaving just one, breaking the naming conventions. Perhaps book naming is covered in her 1976 title, "Writing Juvenile Stories and Novels." I might see if I can get a copy out from the library.

Maybe it's a recording, on old C-90 data cassettes. Looks like Jim's career has taken a turn for the worst after that kafuffle, where he refused to perform to a front-row of disabled people.

Avid Deathlisters who have been watching this thread like a Hawk will no doubt be interested in this "scientific discovery", from today's Indie: Why, with all the advances of science at his disposal, does Stephen Hawking speak with an American accent on his electronic voice box? [A question we all want to know the answer to!] The actor Benedict Cumberbatch, who plays the professor in the BBC2 film about him tonight, was provided with the answer when the two met before filming. Asked why he hadn't changed the voice box accent to English, Hawking replied: "I find that American and Scandinavian accents work better with women. Hawking, recounting the drama of the early life of the Professor, is on BBC2 tonight at 9pm. Might be worth a watch.

At work, looking at "work porn"

Work Safe porn - excellent. Hey frenzy, who is that in your avatar?

Hi there Jeff Not unless cyberdyme can get their latest killer cyborg-soliders back in time. "Have you seen this boy?" I have a contact at Skynet who reckons that they are a good few years away from anything like this and I guess the committee probably heard similar chatter on the wires. As for the Americans blowing up the right hole, I think that the odds are they will be blowing up the wrong hole, most probably in the wrong country. Could be handy if they hit another axis of evil; it could generate some positive PR too. So for me at least, it's not quite Hasta la vista and more like "I'll be back" on OBL.
