Paul Sturrock has admitted that he's suffering from Parkinson's Disease...

Happy Birthday Windsor...

Next stop, Mrs Fossett!

BBC obit for Randy Pausch Congrats to all the DDP teams that selected him Good thing I got Getty then! That should shake things up a tad...

Question is, will he get a pukka obit?

Excellent - we give Cambridge 350,000 & we then make a profit of £5.15 million. I like that kind of business deal for RFC Very sorry to see Kits go, especially to a side who will be coming down as we go back up, but £5.5m is very good money for a 28 yr old uncapped internationally striker. We can get two, maybe three decent strikers for that. I did like Kitson's rather refreshing attitude to football & his comments in the media, but we can do without the drink driving element of his life.... I wouldn't be too sure of that OoO...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PHANTOM...

Apart from his nose I think most of the rest of him has been cut away. Perhaps he will leave it to Michael Jackson. He's looking more and more like Spike Milligan!

Judith Kerr, widow of Quatermass writer Nigel Kneale...

I thought he'd get a better obit (publicity wise) than that! I'd have him on the bloody 10 O'Clock news! Very odd...

First Elizabeth Spriggs, now Hugh Lloyd: Is this the Curse of Dr Who Season 24? Richard Briers had better watch out....

Him as well? I wonder what your lonely hearts ad is like: Would like to meet a man who is warm, has GSOH and is heir to a South Asian political dynasty...

From what I understand, his status is plausible, but not yet confirmed. There's a brief discussion about it here. I should point out that Britain is (with six!) the only remaining nation to have more than one verified surviving veteran. Ah, the old Tommy spirit!

Who was that one from Belgium that would be on Question Time? She was rather nice.. Sian Berry from the Green Party I wouldn't mind discussing the complexities of Climate Change with...

Current standings... 1. The Living End 94 - 11 hits 2. Godot's Waiting List 88 - 11 hits 3. They're Dead, Y'Know! 84 - 12 hits 4. Canadian Paul 81 - 11 hits 5. Wormer, He's a Dead Man! Marmalard, Dead! Niedermeyer... 76 - 9 hits 6. Tonight Matthew, I'm Going To Be Badly-Torn Boy 69 - 8 hits 7. Master Mind 68 - 8 hits 8. Misers 63 - 9 hits 9. Hunting Halos 61 - 8 hits 10. Meet Your Maker 58 - 8 hits 10. No Noose Is Good Noose 58 - 6 hits UPDATED 28TH JULY

Oh dear, poor Tony. I knew he was going to die soon....well done to the teams who picked him on the DDP. That's going to shake things up a bit.... Update: Actually not as much as I thought, though DDT stretches his (unassailable?) lead....Football Fan must be kicking himself though. Good day for They Died And Left Me In Charge: Two hits, 25 points and place in the top ten! Congrats TDALMIC..

Pioneering heart surgeon Dr Michael DeBakey has died aged 99...

I couldn't get into that show, even though at the time I was working as a security guard. I found the acting in it to be terrible and the timing between the "punchlines" to be abysmal. It was almost as terrible as that so-called comedy show starring James Bolam that takes place in an underground carpark. Suit yourself. Mind you, you live in sitcom Eldorado don't you?... I thought Eldorado was that awful soap opera that was on Channel 5 BBC1 in fact....(1990s TV was crap.....discuss)

Agreed...

I've gone for Billy Graham. It's getting tougher to choose with 10 already gone...

Oh yes....

I'm getting a little worried. I'm doing better (Helms is my 7th hit) than the organiser of the Dead Pool "ought" to be doing, according to the unwritten rules of DDP etiquette. Considering Plews is due to die this year, and Edwin Morgan & John Hermon are VERY ill, I'm almost embarassed to get too many more hits. Not this time, however. Helms was.. ahem.. not my most favourite person. Still, he died on 4th July which shows what a patriot he was...
