Richard looks bollocksed in those pictures, well on the way to a stroke even then!
Sally Thomsett was alright, but I would steer from fellatio if you value your foreskin....
-
We have four centenarians on the list, surely the law of averages suggest at one to get the finger....I'll plump for Hoffman to cark it!
-
It's apt that Chris Burney is in a band with the word 'Bowling' since he looks like a massive bowling ball with a head on top...
-
That CNN report was a virtual obituary. Still I didn't know he was a member of the Warren Commission.
Surely a cert for 2006...

Already in the Ideas and possibilities thread. ( although I dont know why )(I'll stick it in the near miss thread when its confirmed)
That's depending on when he gets found...
I bet there's some bloke in Wales with a betting slip, still waiting on Richey Edwards...

The Year is 19811. Prince Charles got married
2. Liverpool crowned soccer Champions of Europe
3. Australia lost the Ashes tournament.
4. The Pope Died
The Year is 2005
1. Prince Charles got married
2. Liverpool crowned soccer Champions of Europe
3. Australia lost the Ashes tournament
4. The Pope Died
...and there was a new Dr Who.....
The Pope got shot in 1981, but didn't die.
His predecessor died in 1978
Same year Liverpool won the European Cup!

Alex St Clair, guitarist for Captain Beefheart & the Magic Band died 5th January
Wrong member of the Magic Band goddamit! I want the big guy with the hat...

After getting it spot on with Lou Rawls but missing big with Shelley Winters, how well will the Deathlist for 2006 fare?
-
The DDP now has a clear leader with the death of Shelley Winters,"Faster,Pussycat,Kill,Kill,Kill".
She was one of mine as well. Along with Lou Rawls. This could be a good year...
-
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...quod erat demonstrandum.....
-
Shelley Winters has died. Announced on BBC Radio4 news.I can't believe you missed her out, she was a dead cert. I had her on my DDP...

Strokes are the new Heart Attacks!

It's quite ironic that in the week of the creator of LSD's 100th birthday, that its most famous victim celebrates his 60th....

John Woodnut will be sadly missed by all fans of Doctor Who like me.He did no less than 4 stories in the series and always brilliant.r.i.pHmm true. He always reminded me of another actor.. Alan Dobie who was Cribb in the early 1980s TV show of the same name...

Btw what's everyone else's opinion on choosing the world's oldest man / womanI had this debate with my father-in-law the other day as I personally feel that they don't exactly qualify as they're barely classed as a celebrity
Yeah, but they're a bit like monarchs really. The World's oldest man has died...long live the World's oldest man!

British character actor John Woodnutt has died aged 84
Everyone seems to be starting the year with new Avatars, must get a new one....
-
What a flying start with Rawls!
Is that the quickest death? I didn't know he'd go that quickly, we all knew he was terminal. We did miss a trick with Sharon however. I've gone with Gerald Ford again...
-
There's a slight problem with his description on the list. Dino De Laurentis never directed a movie in his life, he's a producer not a director.If it's ageing Italian film directors you're looking for, then Michaelangelo Antonioni's yer man!
In my list for '06 aged 94...
-
Sorry about all that, I didn't know there was another poll, should have guessed really!
Anyway I voted for Ford, an ex-President stiffy with the additional media kerfuffle would be just the tonic for the beleaguered Dubya!

New Year: New funerals and if anyone thinks this site is bad taste have a gander at the Guardian Magazine from last Saturday. During the review of the year a list of prominent deaths were given what can only be described as the 'Deathlist' treatment, with lots of puns and jokes at the expense of the dearly departed. Maybe we're catching on....

Augurs well as far as Labour Politicians are concerned. I have former Labour MP John Freeman in my DDP20 and ex-Deputy Leader Ted Short in the 50...
-
I'm surprised Estelle Getty didn't make your list, perhaps in the stead of Captain Beefheart or Herbert Lom?Beefheart is a good old fashioned guess. With Christmas and that, I could
have done with more time to consider the 50, so I concentrated on the DDP 20.
Is she not well then?
-

Isn't that the second or third death from Reservior Dogs amongst the actors in recent years?
