And in English?

How's the health of Enzo Bearzot, the World Cup winning manager of the Azzurri?

That was a pisser weren't it! A great horse, I'm trying to think of the last time an athlete (animal or otherwise) has been taken to the paddock upstairs in their prime...

Anyone watching Newsnight's disection of today's event? Looks to me that Alistair Campbell's had a few...

She's had her hip replaced, so I think she rather overdid the workouts. Remember Jim Fixx?

That reminds me...Ivo Van Damme, promising Belgian middle-distance runner. Also died in a car crash in 1976.

Who out there know their American Constitution? What if this 'scandal' puts paid to both Cheney and Dubya. With post Pres and Vice-Prez positions to fill, what would happen?

That said, he is making fewer films than he used to. Obviously slowing down in his dotage. Look at the IMDB to see the trickle of films made in the last ten tears or so...

Not laughing now is he? (hur,hur,hur...)

One more and he gets the match ball surely?

George Best has taken a turn for the worse apparently according to his ex-wife Alex....

Jack Cardiff recieved a special Oscar a couple of years back, a sign that some are expecting his demise.

Harold Pinter. Need I say more...

First time on the list too. Good call DL! I'm not going to attampt a tagline because the ones DL come up with a far better than what I can muster. She's gonna have to give up her seat now...

TV Critic A.A. Gill's father by the way...

I once asked my died as to why the IRA never attempted to kill Paisley. He replied that Ian Paisley was the best advertisment for republicanism that the IRA had...

She's 85 and has had a heart attack. Providing she lasts the year, she has to be a cert for next year's Deathlist...

Johnny Haynes, the former England Captain and Fulham legend is seriously ill in an Edinburgh hospital...

How many of the older Death List incumbants have their birthdays coming up towards the end of the year? Callaghan died on the eve of his birthday, so maybe there is hope that one or two may pop off in and around their birthday by the end of the year...

All this slanging match stuff concerning Mr Doherty is a result of his web-based rise to prominence, a relatively recent development in Rock music. The Libertines forged their popularity through the internet, so their fans are very net-savvy. So for God's sake don't slag off the Arctic Monkeys or we'll get more of the same. Doherty seemed an interesting enough character untill he clapped eyes on that arch parasite, Kate Moss. Since then its been downhill for him, downhill for her, downhill for Indie Rock and downhill for the rest of us...

Yes, I'm afraid they do. The time when we pull out of Iraq, it is when the USA pull out and that could be some time in the future....

It looks as if Johnny Haynes has actually died. Britain's first £100-a-week footballer. A little bit before my time, Haynes.

Sky Sports also reported his death. The Murdoch press jumping the gun again. Why don't they claim this as a scoop? Same old story...

Whatever the merits or otherwise of Mrs T's policies, she has ensured her place in modern British history. As for Blair, what unnerves me is his obsession to put his place in the history books. Not since Anthony Eden has there been a PM concerned with his legacy. Such a desire to stamp his authority led to the disaster of Suez in 1956. But Suez lasted a few days, Iraq is past the 2 1/2 year mark and counting...

It seems that he was involved in a car accident and early reports actually said that he had died! But according to the hospital, he remains 'seriously ill'...
