I thought this was to give the news that he had died...

I watched the explanation on TV last night but I was pissed so am still none the wiser. He got a load of people to it for him... 3000!

Only fair having flagged up Basil Rathbone, I shall mention that perhaps the definitve Sherlock Holmes on the small screen, Jeremy Brett, died today in 1995...

The hoax, which didn't originate on DL, has made the papers. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/culturemon...y-gelbarts.html It's a shame that the story was revealed to be hoax, because Larry Gelbart has just died. Are you in tune with my brainwaves today Devon? I was only reading about Larry Gelbart and M*A*S*H earlier this evening...

Just as I was about to post about Allende...

It's changed back again! Carry on...

I just read that Richard Burton died in Switzerland of a heart attack. Really, I thought he died of a brain hemorrhage...

What's with the thread name change?

There's a TV programme next monday (14th) on Channel 4, Keith Meets Keith, where Floyd is tracked down by Keith 'Lily's dad' Allen.. Worth a gander to see his current state. Unless it's a repeat of course...

His thread http://www.deathlist.net/forums/index.php?...ic=7023&hl= If some mod can move my post onto that thread, that'll be good...

Actor Iain Cuthbertson has died aged 79...

The Dutch have teletext? Wow! I thought it was particular to Britain... Next you'll be telling us they have video recorders...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LADY G!

Hendrik Verwoerd, Prime Minister of South Africa, was assassinated today in 1966...

I'd go further and say that she's been put up to it...

Four months on, three of the four are dead, with Swayze hanging on...

Mother Teresa died on this day in 1997... Boy, did she pick the wrong week to die...

That's a shame, he wrote some very funny stuff (if not recently). The first book I remember making me laugh out loud was "Billy Liar". Shame he turned into a right-wing old bore, but then they all do in the end... I think it might have been some kind of illness because he wrote his last article for the Daily Maul a few weeks ago and it was promoted as such.

Sad to hear that news. He was an acquaintance, rather than a friend, of mine back in the Britpop days. We bought each other a beer or two as we propped up the bar at the Garage or Dingwalls while slagging off some no-hoper indie band or other. Hey-ho, that was the scene. RIP. I wish their previous manager would suddenly drop dead. Make my day that would.... In case anyone was wondering, that was Mr Gervais. Maybe this is the place to declare my own personal Pete Bestness, as we turned down Nude Records about a month before they signed Suede and went on to world (oh alright, London) domination. Probably for the best, it's a sh*t business. Etc. And who is this 'we'? Was this a bid for pop superstardom? C'mon, spill the beans...

In his shed?

Here's my first stab at the CPDP... Main Team: The Man In Black's Death Disco Susan Atkins Irwin Barker (Canadian) Gene Colan Annette Funicello James Garner Ian Holm Donald Neilson Arthur Penn Corin Redgrave Lord Snowdon Theme Team: He's not going to sell much ice cream going at that speed, is he? (All have appeared on the Morecambe & Wise Show) David Prowse Francis Matthews Andre Previn Edward Woodward Paul Anka (Canadian) Acker Bilk Mary Travers Millicent Martin Keith Michel Frank Bough

I was only thinking about him the other day. At least we'll know where he is now...

Which is more or less saying "we'll do as we please, so bugger you you ignorant bunch of leftie scum" I had the same unfortunate mail too, which just goes to prove all petitions are cock. We can therefore feel justified in walking past the poor naive clipboarders hanging around our local pedestrianized thoroughfares as indeed our signatures are not worth the paper they are written on. Although the petitions are spin and propaganda, NAP's succinct comment "so bugger you you ignorant bunch of leftie scum" is valid, but probably not from Gordon's government. I still reckon Thatcher will avoid going down the road of a big state funeral (a la Churchill). Big Memorial service, yes most probably, but not a big funeral...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAPTAIN OATES...
