Verity Lambert, the first producer of Doctor Who, died today in 2007...

Morrissey will be in mourning...

Actor John Neville, who starred in Terry Gilliam's "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen" in 1989, has died aged 86... http://www.cbc.ca/news/arts/story/2011/11/21/neville-obit-actor.html

I'll give him six weeks...

Although the Pope needs to die (or possibly abdicate) next year to make way for a black Pope, and thus trigger the end of the world in 2012, it is highly doubtful that he will actually die. Queen Elizabeth II has a good 5 years left in her at least...unless King George VII gets impatient... It's not the black pope you have to worry about.if herman cain is elected president of the USA we can all kiss goodbye to our asses... I thought it was his lady employees' asses he was interested in? did Nostradamus say that a black pope will be elected in 2012 thus bringing about the end of the world? because m aybe he got m,ixed up between pope and president.In his day maybe the pope was the m ost powerful guy in the world,so maybe Hermain Cain will press the biug red button on his oval office desk on december 21 next year! (presumably mistaking it for an escort room service) If Cain was to win next year, he would be inaugurated as President on January 20th 2013...

Hoped against hope it was Howard Webb...

Co-creator of roughly a 5th of my childhood, Mark Hall of Cosgrove Hall productions, has died aged 75... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-15792282

Maybe you should contact the BBC to let them know. I think the Guinness Book of Records need to know. I will let my friend know, as its not really my place. My friend's granny and great aunt now seem to be recognised as Britain's Oldest Twins. They celebrated their 102nd birthdays two days ago: http://www.dailymail...-long-life.html Guinness still recognise the Welsh twins as the oldest in the world though... That's resolved a bit of a puzzle. While I was doing a sweep of the entries to check whether any had snuffed it, I noticed the two pairs each with the "oldest" twins tag and pondered on whether the older set had actually died, but it's nice to see that their still alive. I will update their status, official or not, on the database... EDIT - hold on, their not the twins on the database, so who the hell are they? What happend to the "other" oldest twins, Olive Tucker and Ivy Shermer? Are they dead?

James Fraser Mustard... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Fraser_Mustard

I'd imagine the curtains will be closed...

It wouldn't surprise me if that name pops up in the entries, including my own!

Can we close this thread? Everyone has voted and we're just getting these really annoying posts...

Apparently Germany's oldest woman Charlotte Bauch died in May but it's only come to light in recent weeks: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_German_supercentenarians#Charlotte_Bauch LIkely to be a keeper in the List of the Lost for 2011...

Once again...

The giveaway...

Ta!

If Ricky Gervais got struck down then there really is a God!

Well that's one less name to add to the database...

Could I have "Pun Plunderer" please?

He isn't going any time soon. I'll put my shirt on it...

Robert Maxwell bailed overboard 20 years ago today...

Andy Rooney has died http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5hFeVvkjINACyNTd4fpBb8wwQtVPA?docId=73e0a401213c4b33af4cdc8ad3bb2aba How do you get the link where I can just have "Andy Rooney" rather than all that spiel?

Must be Thatcher...

Fair enough...

Arnold says so, and he doesn't say much, so that's good enough for me. So that's Nigel Lawson and 19 others for my 2012 DDP list. Lawson hasn't looked very clever for some time now but I can't remember when I last saw his picture in the papers. He mustn't be feeling too clever either considering that a] the free-market City knows best economic culture is going down the shitter and b] the European monetary integration to which he urged Thatcher to be a part of, leading to his resignation in 1989 is also going down the toilet. If I was him, I'd keep a very low profile... 60% top rate of tax? pfftt!
