I'd rather not...

So are you saying that there is the possibility that some celebrity, somewhere, is going to cop it quite brutally today?

Jeanne Calment, the oldest-living recorded person in history, died today in 1997 aged 122...

Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone, died today in 1922...

You know, I didn't know until years later that he had died. Wasn't Rentaghost still going on at that time? Same here. I'm pretty sure it was still be shown in repeats around the time he died. Apparently it originally finished in 1984! I thought the series carried at least until the late eighties, but it seems they were repeats...

Two hits in a day after two hits in 12 months! Things are looking up...

'that's the way it was' But I don't think the Grim Reaper needs any help with finding a clever title. Yeah, but that doesn't need to stop us from playing the game too! and Bobby Robson, bless his baggy shorts, has got his headline immediately. Poor old Walter still just 'dies'. Gone and Forgotten? Crafting the proper obit notice for Uncle Walt will take time. You can't just dash some words on a slip of paper and think that that will suffice. No, Walter needs and deserves better. You haven't read the Guardian one then? Puts the boot in a bit...Link And I hate the way they merrily mix the 'other lives' in with the biggies too. I'm sure their line is that each death is as important to their families blah blah blah...

Ditto... I'm not too sure about this 'None of the Above' option. Over what period of time does it cover for someone to choose this option to be proved right? The end of the year? Lots of people die everyday who aren't on the list...

So unless one of them had jokers, it won't make any significant difference...

Sir Bobby is the 4th England manager to snuff it in ten years...

Balls! This is not a vintage for my DDP this year...

Cigar for Applecool Downunder.. Time to close this thread...

I don't care if Citeh have Shipman, Pol Pot, Attilla the Hun and John Terry in their team, I'd still have them over United in the title race anyday... Liverpool will crush all comers anyhow... (fingers crossed...)

Funny you should mention Glam Rock, I'm right now listening to Be Bop Deluxe's 1974 album 'Axe Victim'!

Oh Gawd, guess who's back?

Talk about Devils' Advocate!

Crikey, he looks like Rupert Murdoch!

Happy Birthday Windsor.... "Lovely boy!"

I've heard Jordan say that.... ..coat!

Could do with the points...

Coldplay are the latest to be in the Simpsons... ...sits and waits in expectation that the curse will do the business on those witless c unts...

Dance choreographer Merce Cunningham has died aged 90...

The last Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, died on this day in 1980...

You know what pal? You're really starting to fekin piss me off as well. Don't come onto a forum (run by Brits) and ask such an insulting question. And don't you think it's a tiny bit rude to judge a country by what religion dominates there? You can take your bible bashing and shove it up your arse for all I care. How dare you storm on here and take such an attitude with people who actually bother contributing to this site. Take a hint and get off of here. Yes, I'm aware that posting that will only make things worse, but it's always darkest before the dawn anyways... If that is the case, why are you on this website, numbnuts?
