A sneak preview of the Guardian obit there...

Dead.

There is a bit over at DigitalSpy, does that count? No.

Ooh gawd, another 'disciple'... It's all about context. Having one of the best albums of the 60s, 70s and 80s is one thing, having one of the best albums of the 00s is quite another... I think his mistake was to get involved with that arch parasite Kate Moss. Once the tabloids came knocking then 'puff', that was that...

Last words: "Somebody put that fag out!"

From real gangsters to imagined ones: Edward G. Robinson died today in 1973...

Belated greetings CP.....

I'd rather get shot in the head than have that fat head Bruce as my boss...

D'oh! Can I change the excuse for not picking him to that he didn't pass the "You can't pick anyone sentenced to die" rule? Is that your team name? A Taste of Thursday Afternoon?

I am relieved that it seems that it's Pitt that's blown Jolie out. If it had been the other way round, I'd have feared for the future of men. I mean if Brad Pitt can be dumped...

Why did you edit this TF? It was a fukin amazing reply. I've been trying to recall it for the record. Basically I think he was commenting somewhat directly at MPFC's questionable taste in humour, calling him a sick fuck or something like that. MPFC would probably be able to help out. I didn't actually get the joke but then I don't know what pressing Ctrl+F does. It finds things on a page or on a spreadsheet...

Maggie Renfro, who was the 4th oldest person in the World, has died. And is consigned to the list of the missed as she wasn't picked in this years DDP despite being picked before...

It's just that not as many people are dying as this time last year... Two are awaiting obits: Petra Schumann and Jenn Lyon. Three have got them and await updating onto the site: Simmons, Quarrington and Wild...

The founder of the 'religion' Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard, died on this day in 1986... And he looks suitably creepy too...

Yeah, but I bet Michael Dawson feels like one though!

Good call DDT....

Why did you edit this TF? It was a fukin amazing reply. Because he's a coward...

Hmmm... Not promising anything, but I'll see what I can do...

I'll be surprised if he doen't get a proper obit, Miser...

On this the anniversary of the Death anniversary thread, we have a royal visit... King George V died today in 1936... Considering that both he and his son George VI died in winter, I wonder if they had a official death later in the year?

"and they'll be dancin' on the graves of Glasgow toneet!"

I give him a couple of weeks.. 2nd February...

The television equivalent of all those 'hundreds' who saw them at the Lesser Free Trade Hall in Manchester earlier in 1976...

I think he's trying to learn from Peter Sellers' mistake. He was in the process of divorcing Lynne Frederick before his death in 1980...he was too late!

That dirty old man Wilfred Bramble died today in 1985. I remember it being on the news and everythin'....
