The DL, to which Eddie confesses to be "strangely drawn", gets a paragraph in a page-long meditation on the ups and downs of celebrity death. He's a bit concerned at 2010's current poor performance, but I'd say that, on the whole, he's a fan. I wonder if he's an active member or just a lurking guest. And no, I don't (and didn't) buy the Radio Times. Thanks, WH Smith.

The Daily Mail is mistaken. There is one remaining survivor, Paul Royle, aged 94. How about Jack Harrison? I suppose he didn't actually escape, but he did get the t-shirt.

Ex-Stereophonics drummer Stuart Cable found dead.

Definitely maybe The End.

A US one: certainly. A UK one: I doubt it. regards, Hein Unique hit for The Vyrdolak if AP counts.

Shit and Shitter.

He should have hugged it more tightly.

You may well be right, and I did toy with the idea of posting him in the 'Who's going to be around for a while' thread. However, as my second link above mentioned, he does harbour hopes of becoming a space tourist, and it sounds as if it's going to happen sooner rather than later, If that goes ahead, then I don't care how healthy an 89 year old body you've got, it's going to be put under some serious strain during blast off. Looking well in an interview with John Humphrys. That'll teach the one idiot who picked him on this year's DDP. Branson, where's that bloody spaceship?

Doherty will be able to afford a lot more drugs now.

Blanche Thebom a unique for Twelvetrees? Or is the fat lady unlikely to be warming up?

Moth heads for the flames.

Here you go. http://bnp.org.uk/policies/

Can I vote for Clive Dunn?

The thinking man's Andy Kershaw, Charlie Gillett, has died.

Mary's apparently still going strong at 94, attended Foot's funeral. May yet outlive the heart-diseased Supremes one.

I beg to differ; the search facility is fine if people would just take a few seconds to learn how to use it. Click 'search', then 'more search options' below it, type '+christopher +cazenove' in the resulting field, and you'll discover that you are the first person to ever mention him in 140,000+ posts. The only drawback is that it doesn't recognise three-letter words, so tracking down posts about the likes of Liz Smith is a bit of a problem. Another drawback is you cannot instantly do another search. So when you call up all the possible threads that contain the name you search (which in turn assumes that all names have been spelt correctly, no aliases used or one line puns with no reference to said name) you can't then search within that thread for your name unless you twiddle your thumbs for 30 seconds. Then going back to the original list you have to click several times to fool the computer. Cutting the waffle, I'm with VT, the programming isn't great re. timing. Then beggars and choosers and all that. To continue this infinitely fascinating discussion, if you use the previously suggested method you are given all the individual posts in date order, not the threads themselves. No twiddling necessary. I suppose that if even rocket scientists can't get it to work, there's little hope for the rest of us. If you only want to search within a thread, then maybe that is shit. I've not found the need to try.

He's had a prang in his Jag. Fortunately, a full rescue team complete with St Bernard were at the scene within minutes.
