Depends on your view on 'significant' - JP2 and RR were expected, so I wouldn'd class them as significant deaths. MJ's certainly wasn't expected, and I would probably class that one as significant. Three Four significants in one post. Howzat Mono? By you maybe, I picked him and I guess there were lots of hits on the DDP so I would say it was reasonably expected. A freak with all of his significant work behind him, no major loss if you ask me (which I know you didn't). I've said this to people and I'll say it here, Michael Jackson's death was a shock but not a surprise...

The seaon looked promising for a bit, then consecutive 4-0 defeats renders KU as the best of the worst of the rest! Time for a clearout methinks...

Poor Phil's not having a great 2009. Is there a connection here? He'd know both sets of breasts well...

That album cover seems to be heavily influenced by Michael Jackson. Or is it the other way around? Its from 1967.. I was talking to someone today and mentioned Neil and he said he was a right bastard... So, to add balance, here's another pioneer who died on this day in 2006, Syd Barrett...

Folk-Rock pioneer Fred Neil, died today in 2001...

I thought the Guardian headline was a touch ironic: "Vietnam architect McNamara dies" seeing as he is partly responsible for flattening the place!

That McNamara chappy is getting more annoucements than Jacko! Must be the Fog of Death which is doing it...

His tennis partner must be devastated...

Things are starting to get tasty over in Honduras, where authorities are refusing to let deposed president Manuel Zelaya land his plane...

John Pettman, the TV producer who gave us the skateboarding duck, died in April of MS aged just 54...

He'd be chuffed to bits. It'll be one way he can express himself An apt death for someone brought up on the wrong side of the tracks...

And then a few hours later, the 2nd President, John Adams... Spooky...

That's given me an idea....

Poo. He is (was) on my long list... So that's two people who financially screwed Macca over, dead inside 10 days. Heather Mills had better watch it!

Obit chances?

An appropriate anniversary is of Thomas Jefferson, the 3rd President of the United States of America, who died on this day in 1826...

Do you work for Sony?

Delia Derbyshire, arranger of the Dr Who theme and one of the most important musicians of the 20th Century, died today in 2001...

Happy Birthday, Fraserborough's finest...

Revenge is best served cold, Harry. Liverpool are going to dick the Premier League. Every decision Michael Owen has made since 2004 has been the wrong one...

So give or take a couple of months, he should be dead by the end of 2010...

Well, little kids can only reach that far, can't they?

Swayze, surely a matter of time...

It mentions Fatal Vision which was brilliant: A TV mini-series as good as any of the best movies of that time.. RIP Karl...

Tennis may run professionals into the ground so much that they burn out at 30, but looking at the shape of the ex-players like McEnroe and Connors, it certainly keeps you in shape in later years...
