    Camilla, Queen Consort

    Camilla is to have a Hysterectomy. I suppose you can't take any chances, you never know what might happen...

    Derby Dead Pool 2007

    Done & Done on the site too, bar the inmates. Al-Masri's are different, as DDT suspected. Only reason I didn't supply info re. the inmates is because I'm going through the missing info alphabetically, but there's no great rush with those two anyway, for if their contributor isn't chasing it up, why should the rest of us? Oh, this is for MIB. There's no cut-off limit for obituaries, apart from 31 Dec 2007. So, if Smyth gets one later (or anyone else for that matter) it'll be accepted. I can't imagine there being an obit in six months or whatever. It would have to be fairly soon. Unless a brief notice in a national newspaper at the end of the year when they do a round up of notable deaths count, in that case I could wait till the end of the year...

    The Dead - 2007

    I'm not sure I'd go so far as describing myself as being shocked by Richardson's death. I am a bit surprised as from all reports I've read indicated that he seemed in perfect health. It's a bit like when Gene Pitney suddenly dropped dead last year. It came totally out of the blue. But that's what happens in death, there are some surprises...

    The Dead - 2007

    Sorry, that was me. Forgot to log in. Here is the link: BBC News link Hmmm..sad. A brilliant actor. I remember BBC4 showed a programme made in 1980 called Private Shultz and Richardson had 4 parts in it I think... He'll always be Francis Urquhart for a lot of people though... BBC4 showed Private Schultz??? I haven't seen that show in years. If I remember rightly, it was Mark Wingett's first main role on television. I've been trying to describe that show to people for years and getting blank looks and I often wondered if my dad and I were the only ones to ever watch it. That is sad news about Richardson, he was a fantastic actor. I remember watching him in House of Cards, such an intense performance he gave. Yes, they showed it a few years ago after Michael Elphick died...

    Too much to ask for Fergie to kick the bucket I suppose.... Do you mean Fergie as in the 'Ginger Minge', married to some Johnnie called Andrew Windsor? Either suits me!

    Claude Levi Strauss. What a bitch his headline will be. Anyway Deathlist's first hit this week is possible. Febuary is one of those months where you just hate the outside air. Levi's body bag zipped...

    Natural causes....at 49!?! An article in the News of the World today revealed that her body was found surrounded by 15 (empty) bottles of vodka Well if it was in the News of the world, it MUST be true Yeah, its a load of bollocks.....probably 16 bottles! I didn't know alcoholism is seen as a 'natural' cause of death...Labour spin even at the end...

    Football

    Aye, it's wonderful, truly, truly wonderful, but tinged with incredulity. 6th in the Premier League? 40 points by Feb 3rd? What IS going on?!?!? Wigan were going great guns last season and then.... Either way I hope Steve Coppell remembers what happened 17 years ago when they roll up at Old Trafford in a few weeks time....

    Interesting article by John Harris in the Guardian, particularly of interest are the comments by Bernard Ingham regarding Thatch... Ex-PM's

    I think the only one there was, was the one in Yorkshire Today Hopes are fading fast, I have to say The only hope lies in the 'Lives in Brief' section of the Times or 'Other Lives' in the Grauniad. I'll give it another month....
