Sadly yes. "African-American" has for some time been the go-to PC euphemism for non-white people, at least among the sheeple. I've definitely heard black British people referred to in this way. Speaking of which, why do we never hear of "English-Americans"? Every other nationality seems to be represented, they have Italian-American, Irish-American, you name it. Surely some English people emigrated to the USA at some time?

He looks awful, like the living dead, how much longer can he carry on like this, surely if he doesn't stop which seems unlikely he will be dead by the end of the year. Gazza could be a major miss for the death list. Frankly I think he looks a lot better there than in some recent photos. Such as the ones with the gold di girlfriend on the beach - he looked really grotesque in those. I'm not sure she could be called a gold digger, Gazza isn't exactly rolling in the money these days. No, but there is a type of person who assumes that anyone who is famous must also be rich.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't this thread intended to highlight potential suicides, those who may be likely to commit suicide? Rather than those who've actually been and gone and done it.

Here's a report from the Independent . Not sure if that's the link you meant to post.

I remember him from The Hand of Fear in particular. When acting was acting and not getting your shirt off to hide your obvious stage school talent... A little jealous that you are not Aidan Turner? methinks... I don't know who that is, so not jealous at all Edit: just googled...still don't know who he is, I've seen nothing he's in, and by the sounds of it, he spends his time in nothing but his underbritches lol. I can't therefore comment on his talent or lack of it. He's in a "new version" of Poldark where it basically involves him getting his tits out for the lad(ie)s. I only know cos I saw it on the cover of Radio Times while I was on the shitter. Now I think of it I can't even remember the last time I thought "wonder what's on BBC1", if ever. Still it's got be a vast improvement on being told asked to worship Cumberbatch and Redmayne IMO. He was a dwarf in 'The Hobbit'. The one that got given a love interest with a female elf.

"The king came to the hall to admire the beautiful view of the Chao Phraya River and many of Bangkok’s landmarks such as the Grand Palace." That sounds like he might be taking a last look/saying goodbye kind of thing.

Afraid not on the posts quoted question. I find it a pain as well. I just manually delete the superfluous ones sometimes. Mind you, I don't piss around trying to post on tiny phones and stuff. So it's not too fiddly.

Had an old gf lived next to a clinic sign said Dr Raper, Internal Medicine. SC Did it also say Therapist?

I liked the third Miliband brother best, Steve. I've got some of his records.

Specifically, Feb 2014. That's last year. Do keep up.

Did his name dictate his career choice and serve as inspiration, one wonders.

Indeed. I was surprised to see that he was on only fourteen DDP teams. (Mine included, so slightly disappointed at the near miss for the Unlucky 13th bonus.)

Prince George only has three forenames, so I doubt they'd give junior more than that. They might even cut it down to two. The Queen has three names (Elizabeth Alexandra Mary) but her sister only had two (Margaret Rose) and she was known as Princess Margaret Rose as a child. So I could see them doing something similar for a girl, like calling her Princess Mary Elizabeth for instance.

First Bin Laden, then Al Rubbish. Who's next, Garbage Khan?

Not unexpected, but very sad news nonetheless.

Why is a "u with umlaut" spelled "ue" in English? It doesn't mimic the pronunciation. It always throws me because it looks like a spelling mistake.

IMHO, people in their 70s (up to 80) are "too young" to be considered good candidates in the absence of any health (or at least, lifestyle) info. Leonard Cohen is still active, and I didn't hear about any life threatening illness either, so I'd wait until we have some cancer rumours or until he turns 90. Well-stated, GG, in general. IMO all people regardless of age MUST have a medical reason to be mentioned, as stated herein:http://www.deathlist.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=8444&p=221730 Now don't be an ass--obviously if you want to list people who are 112 go for it but don't heap praises upon yourself for getting one right for anyone over 100 to me. My 4-yr old daughter could compile that "No Shit, Sherlock" list. SC You're overlooking those people who, while not reported to be ill, are spotted looking unexpectedly frail. Fair enough. I'm certain I can come up with 20 and maybe 50 (cancer alone) without resorting to these folks. I admit getting terribly annoyed when a death is reported and the culprit had 'long suffered from X disease' yet none of us knew. Maybe in a case like that you could resort to how a person looks; but if they're aloof enough to keep their medical conditions out of the media, how many photos will there be? SC Doesn't have to be photos. Could be someone actually seen, you know, in real life. Like at a sporting event, to give just one example.

I'd better say the same day as Martin Crowe drops off the perch, since I've already had that punt in the appropriate thread, .

"The man was shot once and he was rushed to an area hospital with non-life threatening injuries." Carry on, nothing to see here.

I don't think being described as "terminal" is a factor. I just see them as people who are only "famous" because they are ill.

I had to google that. Shoes. Some other trendy thing that I've never heard of. Ah, but the money I save.
