That update you mentioned reads fairly desperate to me. Especially when you compare it to the others, its brevity is very telling. Reading between the lines I'd say Tammy Faye will not make it to '07. I hope I'm wrong as she is on my DDP shortlist. Just another 67 days please! I've already lost a hatful of potential points with Hunter, Davidson, Mayne and West slipping away early....

Be patient...BBC came up with the Peter Barkworth obit a few days after he popped it so...

Well he's the 6 Million Dollar Man aint he!

With a drama-documentary on soon and provoking a rumpus, a serious consideration should be for Wendy Ainscow, the suicide pact mother. It's starting to become a cause célèbre....

That's too rapid to be attributable to just age, probably an illness....

I mentioned as such on this site a month or so back after I saw him at Goodwood. Son Derek has retired from racing to look after him. Terribly rapid decline, he was the very picture of health in summer 2005. At the moment, he's just outside my top 20 for DDP, but is in my picks for the CPDP. But it hurts, really genuinally hurts, to have to even pencil his name in. A good DL candidate for 2007....

I mentioned a week or so ago that DL is becoming a fairly good agency for deceased celeb news... it depends on the members and whether there are a few journos amongst our ranks...

Here's a quote: She said the frozen sperm donation "was something we talked about. It was something that was put in the pipeline". I've never heard it called that before....

Bugger. They only showed a Tom Stoppard play with him in it a week or so ago on BBC Four! Also played Clent in Dr Who story 'The Ice Warriors'... Sometimes its a question of luck when you come across a candidate, such as Kenneth Griffith...

Only if Football Fan shares his 2007 list with the rest of us. Real Madron, my secret possibilities are famous enough, don't you worry. Ultimately by 1 Jan 2007, they no longer become secret & can be used for future possibilities. I'd happily reveal my secret candidates if everyone else did - for I know I am not the only one who has a joker up their sleeve. Unless that changes, I see no reason to reveal my hand Yup, just learned of a possible today, to keep up my sleeve..

....they're dropping like flies! Still, if a drummer in a band from the late 70s (and weren't even punk!) can get a BBC obit, anyone can. I'm going to do a OoO and scour the net for potential DDP candidates - he's got a few up hid sleeve...

Sandy West died yesterday, that's another potential DDP selection gone. I wonder if she will get a UK obit. She has... Sandy West

It's all getting rather competitive isn't it?

I hate anagrams - they almost always make no sense! The best I've heard recently was for Neil Warnock, work it out for yourself!

I think the only person I'd want to see at Leeds less than Dennis Wise is Paul Ince. That's it, Ken Bates is going on my DDP list for 2007. Purely wishful thinking of course... Sure you want to put Leeds Utd on the DDP...

Just call me Mystic Meg (7th paragraph down), and no you can't have this week's lottery numbers. That's not clairvoyance, that's sheer, unadulterated and completely correct cynicism!

Thanks Captain. I'm sure that the President of Turkmenistan has not gone as far as to boil political opponents, but that is not guaranteed...

Jeffrey Skilling is likely to get a long sentence after being found guilty. Will he spend much time in chokey?

He's putting on a brave face....

Why are people trying to pick at my way of writing? Oh very well - across two decades but basically the period between their promotion to the old Division One in 1964 through to their defeat in the European Cup final in 1975! And yes it's 11 years... with that grumpy post, I've run up 500....

Search seems fine, as it brought up Phantom's original post in a millisecond. Blaming the tools sounds like a poor defence to me, Vinegar Tits, which is highly apt as you support Leeds United. I know the search can be a bit iffy at times. I had no idea there were people who support Leeds United You'd be surprised. I don't but I have a brother who does. Something to do with them dominating English football for a decade in the 60s/70s. Dennis Wise as Leeds boss, they thought it couldn't get any worse but....

Is he the one who boils his political opponents (allegedly)?

Sandy West died yesterday, that's another potential DDP selection gone. I wonder if she will get a UK obit. Fook! In the space of a week, DDP2007 is getting a lot harder....

Palin seems to have aged quickly in a relatively short space of time. I hope Terry recovers...he's got a bit more to give following his fascinating Barbarians series....

Hasn't he had problems with Leukaemia in the past? [Posts moved from 'Irate Visitors' topic -- MH]
