  1. How's my 2015 shortlist looking? Nearly everyone on it already died. Unlike my 2014 list.

    Name Shame?

    A location. As it happens, it's around the corner from my old dentists. While reading your answer I realised that my question has unintended poetic form. regards, Hein Yes. If only it had been about a person, it would have qualified as a clerihew. Now that you mention it, The 'Reading' bit, Is that a location Or an occupation?

  4. I went to the Imperial War Museum yesterday to look at the World War I art exhibition. I saw this painting by Christopher Nevinson, and thought of you, LFN. http://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/yourpaintings/paintings/nerves-of-the-army-6073

    Scottish Independence

    Hardly a "new level". It's a long-standing tradition in Lewes. Personally I'd have gone for Oscar Pistorius this year, though.

    Pets

    I'm sorry to hear that. Concerning the bolded part: I believe the right word is worshipped. It's a well known fact that people don't keep cats, cats keep people. regards, Hein My condolences. Perhaps they will live again though. I'm convinced "our" dog was a cat in a previous life.

    So .. What Do You Watch On TV?

    I meant to say that I've been enjoying Detectorists on BBC4. Really funny. Last episode this week, hope there's another series.

    So .. What Do You Watch On TV?

    It's funny, but how times have changed at the BBC. Once they were so strict on advertising that things like this happened

    Maureen O'hara

    She was a lot more than "marginally obitable". She was very well known in her own right, not just as family of the famous.

    Phil Collins (And Other Genesis Types)

    I only liked them when Peter Gabriel was in it.

    The Weather

    Strange how it's from the Daily Mirror yet it references a forecaster talking to the Daily Express! Now that is what I call lazy journalism... Yes, it's the Express that runs the "coldest winter since 1947" story every year.

    Fidel Castro

    Maybe we could get him interested in posting on this site. His DDP team of World Leaders That Will Die Before Me would be a blast. Maybe he would like some DL Merchandise and post some pictures. We need someone to replace Ronnie Biggs. Yes - Ariel Sharon was very disappointing.
  16. Regardless of language, I think the point is that there are dedicated threads for Australians and Canadians.

    Dead Pop Stars

    I'm confused to learn that he didn't actually record "My Coo Ca Choo". That's not Pete Shelley of the Buzzcocks, btw! Incidentally I saw them live last weekend, it was a blast.

    Death In The Family

    Thinking of you, Lady G. You had already lost your Dad in a way, but it is still hard when it comes.

    Peter Sutcliffe

    Wankers. Back in the 80s, when Jasper Carrott used to do a lot of jokes about Sun readers, I once worked on a promotion that entailed collecting vouchers from the Sun. It was massively oversubscribed, and we couldn't keep up with the amount of mail coming in. This resulted in lots of angry phone calls and letters, many of them from posh people who clearly had only bought the paper for the vouchers. We sent out a letter to all disappointed punters, addressing them as "Dear Sun Reader". How we smirked as we imagined their expressions as they read that.

    Life In Prison

    She figured he'd be safer in prison for a little while. They'll still be waiting for him when he comes out though ....

    Gerry Rafferty

    He (I think) was on The One Show (I think) some time this week, I remember flicking on the TV and caught the very very end of the piece. They were in Exeter cathedral and I'm afraid that's about all I can say. For those more curious try looking it up on iplayer, it was definitely BBC1 as barring CNN it's the only English channel I can get. It was a feature on Raphael Ravenscroft, the saxophonist on Baker Street, there was no mention of our missing hero's whereabouts. Ok, I'm sorry for not paying attention keep up the good work. He is dead. Raphael Ravenscroft? So he is. http://www.exeterexpressandecho.co.uk/Saxophone-legend-Exeter-resident-legend-Raphael/story-23270825-detail/story.html Rather strange obit which seems to be more about a dead 12 year old girl.

    Deathlist 2014

    It is a bit hard to kick something when you only have one leg. Inadvisable, at least.
