TAFKAG

Despite only being able to move his eyes, Parkinson's now scouting for Middlesbrough. There's probably a Steve McClaren joke in there somewhere.

Danielle Mitterand dies

Clive's show will go on forever! Comments of “absolutely wonderful” and “just amazing” rippled through the bar at half time, the atmosphere one of genuine admiration.

11:11:11 on 11/11/11 was one of the loveliest seconds ever. Slough was positively transcendent.

Crashing Countries.

Archaeologist and WWII SOE, widow of CIA officer Miles and mother of music biz types Miles Jr, the late Ian and Stewart (of The Police), Lorraine Copeland is still going in her mid-90s. (I see we can't directly quote from locked topics anymore - is that something that can be fixed?)

The only reason I'd heard of the late Emmy-winning screenwriter/producer/director Hal Kanter was because he'd been pencilled into my 2012 DDP theme team. Step up to the plate, Christopher Challis.

I have changed it back again now

This. 100x this. It still annoys me that the tagline for dead rappers isn't "Ready to Die/Life After Death". Like Olympic hostages, they're all gone... cultural vandalism

A man on the fringes of the fringes, Genette Tate's dad John, has appealed to her likely killer Robert Black to spill the beans because he's dying of cancer, or thinks he is.

Squiddy's right, he does have a malignant tumour in his larynx. I wonder how hard it would be for a moderator to disentangle Lula from the Oscar, Fidel, Hugo and any other commie bastards threads and be given one of his own?

Sorry, I was feeling wicked. Here comes the Killian...

Done. Hope you like the tag line. regards, Hein Oh yes. Taglines/supplementary threadal information is the main reason I visit.

The death of the last surviving Polish pilot, Tadeusz Sawicz, a few days ago leaves approximately 75 vets alive according to BOBHSOC. Very few Few. (Mods: might this thread be retitled as something a bit more generic eg World War II Veterans? - would make it easier for your average DLer to find)

Time to buy a new map, methinks. So Bon is from Angus, but Angus isn't.

Benazir's mother Nusrat has died. Picked by three DDP teams.

Sadly there doesn't seem to be an horologists thread, so the clocking off of watchmaker George Daniels will have to go here. As you probably know, he invented the co-axial escapement, which, by utilizing radial friction instead of sliding friction at the impulse surfaces, significantly reduces friction, theoretically resulting in longer service intervals and greater accuracy over time. Obviously.

What are the chances of Gaddafi being the next domino to fall, do we reckon?

Just read a report that the prision service say it was someone else called Peter Moore who died. The BBC concurs. It does now, after a hasty rewrite of that page.

One of the UK's 20 or so 'whole life tariff' murderers, Peter Moore (aka themaninblack Man in Black) died in Broadmoor a couple of months ago. Edit - I see they've changed their story, it's nice to see the prison service doing such a fine job keeping tabs on their clients. Maybe it's the former England cricket coach Peter Moores who's kicked the bucket.

Rumours are circulating that Jiang Zemin has died. Being China, I wouldn't expect much clarification either way for some conseiderable time. 'Frail', but alive.

Cross him off your 2012 shortlists.

Al's still doing his 'I'm innocent and I'm dying' routine. He'll be here all week, at least. But he needs better material.

Hella Haasse has died, no English report yet as far as I can see.
