HAPPY BIRTHDAY ML....

It was indeed the Masters Club that I was referring to. It was probably the fight that made it (in)famous, and why it sticks in my memory that Medati was the owner. I've driven past it recently, it's just a bar now, no longer "Masters". I was a big fan of snooker in the 80s, yet I have to say I've never heard of Medati...

I would have mixed feelings about picking him for my DDP. He's one of my sporting heroes, despite his many scrapes and generally not coming across as a great person as opposed to a great snooker player, which he undoubtedly was...

In relative DL terms, still a bit of a long shot, but you never know. Would you risk him in your DDP 2009 team, when you are likely to be defending your hard-earned title? As you must know by now TMIB, the DL and the DDP are chalk and cheese. I second the Gazza proposal and will continue to niggle at the committee members I know. Much good that will do. I think Gazza is doing his best to persuade the Deathlist to have him in their list for 2009, if this is anything to go by.... "A man drinks like that and he don't eat, he is gonna die"

Kerryn McCann is now suffering from liver cancer. Kerryn McCann has died There goes my Joker! Congratulations Already Dead - 13 points come your way...if pukka obit arrives.

The Good, the Bad and the Hungry...

Here's your obit mate...

This chap seems interested all things celebrity death related... Area of the Unwell

I quite agree. It's shameful, sexist and just plain wrong and I for one, will not stand for it..... ..er is it me or has it got hot in here!

No she wasn't. She was a 1950s pin up model who earned some notoriety posing in bondage shots. By the 1960s she had put that behind her and had become a devout Christian. The 1960s sexual revolution probably had more to do with the contraceptive pill first introduced in the US in 1960. In fashion and film the biggest influences were European - Bridget Bardot, Mary Quant, Twiggy - although its roots were in the US with the Kinsey and Masters and Johnson's reports of the 40s and 50s and the Beat poets had an influence too. One to watch, if she stumbles on with her life in the balance to Jan 1st, deffo obit-worthy. She'll get coverage, if only for the excuse for papers to run her pictures one more time. Could be a 'Shelley Winters' late year pick...Couldn't we have 25 names in the DDP?

If you're tempted to belt out Hi Ho Silver Lining one last time on the Karaoke machine, this'll make you think twice...

Hmmm...close to the levers of power, eh? Here's a phrase: The Game is lost...

Rotten split from the Pistols in 1978. Surely you mean 1977? And did the Pistols really play the Hammersmith Odeon? Or where you just making that bit up to make a point? Just making a point. If he had really vomited on me, I would have kicked his f*****g head in. Of course you would. Carry on...

I think the most important operation of all is to chop that godawful mullet...

Good work, Inspector Alphonsin. To no-one's great surprise, the mother done it. Haven't heard much about Maddy recently. ITV News headline: Social Workers to blame. Not mentioning that the media fell for the whole scheme hook, line and sinker off the back of the 'Madeline' debacle! Hycopcritical bastards the lot of them....

If Faith follows......will they try for Charity? Exit MPFC, hastily closing the door, this act followed by a volley of missiles colliding with said door. Whatever happened to Janet and Jill as names huh? They were on a hiding to nothing with those names. Callous rant over...

Of course it's not our choice (as we are constantly reminded), but it has to be Swayze...

Is that some kind of local delicacy?

I think you might have called this one right for this year, RA. I still have him on my provisional list for 2009, but I might go for Biggs instead. We do have very little on Dolly's health, whereas we have a running commentary on ol' Ronnie...

Of course I neglected to mention the biggest death of the Christmas period last year: The assassination of Benazir Bhutto...

Suffering now from Tony Snow syndrome. I'm not falling for it!

Remember kids, you have one extra second to post your DDP entry...
