I think he goes on the internet a bit 'too' much....

Any proof?

Queue four DDP teams repeatedly entering her name into Google News and clicking "search" over and over again. ...till their thumbs bleed! They can http://www.guardian....n-obituary]stop clicking now:[/url]. Bloody redesign! The link http://www.guardian....ilburn-obituary It counts, although I hate those kind of "my dad was a good man" obits...

A unique hit for Fictional?

Makes the DDP look like something out of the Stone Age! Must do something about that...

I think the ol' chestnut phrase "noticeably frail" leaps to mind...

That is one of the most surreal pictures of all time...

If they replaced her with Kevin Rowland then there really would be a God

So no unnatural death bonus, I think. Sounds normal for her.... Natural for her but unnatural by normal human standards. I would still award points for motor racing drivers if they died in a racing accident...

Marion? Fuck me, that takes me back. You'll be mentioning Shed 7 next...

That's an unnatural death so bonus points all round!

That's terrible news. My condolences.

Just beat me too it!

It does. Well done to those who picked her...

I'll hold back the update for 24 hours and see if we can get this obit before she goes into the List of the Lost...

Yup, he's dead...

Oh great joy it is to see such a repressive, ridiculous regime now cut asunder. To see the delight on those faces, chanting "God is great, God is Great" makes one think that perhaps there is a God after all... Oh is this about Gaddafi? I thought everyone was reacting to Westlife splitting up!

Six months eh? Another wasted pick for 2011 then... A shoo-in for 2012 though, eh? Wink wink etc...

...and here it is!

Here's a sneak preview as to what's required for next year: Most of you should know the drill but for those who don't this will be useful...

Yea, there's tons to do! I haven't taken part in this before , would like have a go next year will you be posting a new thread nearer the time or do we just send the 2012 names to the email you put in your first message in this thread? Yeah, pretty much. The nomination period begins in about 6 weeks so watch this space...

New Zealand opera star Chris Doig had died aged 63. A unique, joker and 13th bonus hit for Freddie the Cat should the right obit come through...

He'll soon know where Syd Barrett lives these days...
