1) Who is it? 2) Should we care? Two questions that will no doubt occur for the rest of the decade and beyond...

Yea, there's tons to do!

OMG I am in tears right now.I can't believe he's gone.I grew up watching him as Doctor Who .This is terrible news Funnily enough, George Baker appeared in Dr Who in 1980! Terrific actor...

Some of you (perhaps all of you) may not have got the whole title of the latest email. The last pun concerning Steve Jobs was "If a Job's worth dying, it's worth dying well..." This won't happen next year...

I believe she'd still be in chokey if.. a> She was not American b> Looked like the back end of a bus

Collaborated with Kevin Ayers on one of my all-time favourite albums - Shooting at the Moon.

Vasily Alexanyan, the former Yukos executive, has died aged 39... A whole lot of the big boys of DDP are waitin' on that obit...

Best time to get your winter woolies as everyone else are getting barbeques and choc ices! One of the strangest years weather-wise I can remember. We've basically had summer but on both sides of the season!

Don't worry Spade, I have something else... As long as its not along the lines of his 'pissing away'. Well, if you listen very carefully... regards, Hein Bye-de-bye? The Independent have nabbed that one...

Thats a strange one, not only was it reported on this very thread but you commented on it yourself.. Something along the lines of "dont knock it, nice bit of ambient" or words to that effect Blimey you're right! Independent are always bloody late with their obits. Throws me right off. Who next, Gandhi?

Maverick German musician Conrad Schnitzler has died aged 74...

No shit, Sherlock...

Don't worry Spade, I have something else...

I've updated the pages now after a discreet email. I totally forgot about her! No obit...

Over four years on and all nine of Banshees Scream's bold predicitions remain obstinately still alive . However General Jaruzelski is in hospital yet again with heart problems and might do well to see 2011, let alone 2012... Now General Jaruzelski is back in hospital with pleurisy. It wont kill him, but these things just keep adding up. The pleurisy might not kill him, but the cancer probably will. Lech Walesa has paid a reconciliatory hospital visit to his old nemesis General Jaruzelski, who is evidently finding living with cancer and pneumonia a bit of a struggle. Given that both have been discussed on these forums has possibilities, I thought the photo below gives a pretty graphic illustration of their contrasting health fortunes. Yup, Lech's definitely a goner!

That's terrible news. My condolences...

The first African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize, Wangari Maathai, has died aged 71. She goes into the DDP List of the Missed....

Former Loyalist paramilitary Gusty Spence has died aged 78... A unique hit for Their Troubles will (hopefully) Soon Be Over.

Wish it'd been Waddell and the tongue had to go, can't stand the bloke. The ultimate Marmite commentator, along with Alan Green (who I also can't stand). Thinking about it, nobody likes Alan Green do they. Freddie Flintoff was guest commentating on the darts yesterday. Enthusiastic, but pretty shit. Unlike Harry, I quite like Sid Waddell. However, the news that he's been diagnosed with bowel cancer may be of interest. I wish the man no ill, I'm just not keen on his going apeshit every time someone throws a 180. I've even thrown a few myself, it's not that hard. And fellow commentator John Gwynne is possibly even more irritating. I have no gripes over Sky's greyhound racing coverage, so hopefully their commentators will stay illness-free. Sid still goes into the notebook, though. Any news on Greeny? (Tony, not Alan) Well, he was back commentating on the Winmau Master tourney last month, so the signs are good for a return to the BDO World Championships in January!

R.E.M. R.I.P.

That neck suggests that she's not 44... She is known for being sexually active and has slept with several unsavoury people such as promiscuous footballers. She really looks to me like she has AIDS Well they don't call her 4x4 for nuthin'... Stop press! Middle aged woman with four kids looks a bit rough! Slow news day obviously. Why doesn't anyone call Rod Stewart 8x5? To be fair, Spitting Image had his nose as a cock...

Canny DDP participants may find out who the superstars of speed eating competitions are and maybe have a punt...

What a cool name!
