I must confess I feel slightly responsible for the rise of the Chuckle Brothers.
When I was about 6 we went to Rhyl and the then unknown Chuckle Brothers were playing at the local theatre. They were dreadful even to a six year old. There were only about 12 people in the whole of the audience and this pensioner kept laughing not at them at her friend. She had an infectious laugh and soon we were all laughing loudly with the result the Chuckle Brothers actually thought they were funny and continued to work.
I'm so sorry people.

Stanley Kunitz - obscure by the standards of the well-read DL'ers but still a top 50 contender this year - got me thinking again. Surely, if he counts so does Edward Upward. Born 1903, if the man has a pulse in seven and a half months I reckon he'd do for the top 50.Sticking with authors how about this lady? I met her about 15 years ago and she looked frail then. I'm fairly certain she'd get one UK obit at least

With all the discussion of what has happened to certain absent members I thought it migt be a good idea to let people here know when we're going away for whatever reason. I'll be absent from the forum between 22nd May and 4th June

7 weeks with no deathlist hits.Ive had enough of waiting.If nobody on the list dies by midnight tonight Im resigning from Deathlist.sorry about that strop there.Just gets a b it frustrating at times banghead.gifYou know, it's this kind of abandon-all-hope-when-the-chips-are-down mentality that is really a source of consternation for me.
It's like sports "fans" (and I use that in the loosest sense of the word) who wholeheartedly "support" their team when it is doing well, but as soon as the team's chips are down, the so-called "fans" lose interest and their support wanes.
You gotta support the team come what may, iain. The DL may not be doing so well at the moment, but with our support it'll turn around. Even if we went a year (gasp! knock on wood!) without a death, we should all stil be rallying around in support of The Team.
Well put ie+

I thought it was France he'd moved to. I'm considering choosing Peter for my 2007 list. Not sure why though

He was on the front of our local paper today with a big smile on his face and attached to some blonde. I didn't read the article but he looked very healthy.

I've just bought Tony Hawks' latest "Piano in the Pyrenees" and Karen Carpenter's biography, appropriately the latter is in the bathroomYou mean: it's there to make you puke? That doesn't sound healthy.

No I don't go in for that. Inidently there is a bit in Tony's book where he is beting on the demise of Pope John Paul II. He thinks it would be funny if he died during his visit to Lourdes. Perhaps he's one of the celebreties who enjoys tis site.

He might have won the lottery...

Also, the night Who drummer Keith Moon died, he had been to a party thrown by Paul McCartney.
Paul McCartney once said that he noticed that Jimi Hendrix was a bit depressed, so he invited him to dinner at his house but... Jimi died before the dinner! And later, he knew Keith was a bit... crazy and lonely... and so he and Linda decide to invite him for a dinner and... he also died before that!
(I LOVE Paul very much, but I don´t think I´d like him to invite me to dinner...!)
Just shows you the lengths some people go to to avoid eating a Linda McCartney lasagne

Pardon my being a Canucklehead, but what does it mean to be given the freedom of a town?
The possession of the rights and privileges of a freeman of the city; formerly often, and now occasionally, conferred on one not a resident, as a mark of honorary distinction for public services.
I remember one person telling me that they were once listed as having the freedom of the City of London. When I looked up the priviliges, apparently they were permitted to lead their cattle over London Bridge
I am lead to believe that in my hometown, York, a Freeman of the City is also entitled to shoot Scotsmen, dressed in kilts, with a crossbow if said Scotsman is within the City walls.
Anyone is allowed to shoot a Scotsman here but only if said Scotsman is on Peel beach wearing a kilt

I know we have George Melly on the list so how about his sister Andree? I don't know an awful lot about what she's up to now but she was fairly ubiquitous in the 1960s and 1970s and then she just fell off the radar. She was born in 1932 if that makes any difference
