He was mentioned on It Started With Swap Shop on Thursday and that he was not in very good health at the moment. They showed a picture which draw gasps from the audience as he wasnt looking too clever, bit like a tramp if im honest! [Tony Hart and Vision On topics merged -- MH]

Well no, think I'd prefer Iain out of all you lovely DListers! Muhammad Ali would be fantastically ironic dontcha think!

Joseph Barbera - b. 1911. Despite his age, he seems very well & active. But DL didn't choose him for no reasons... Octupus why didnt you elaborate???

Nah, Ali on Boxing Day!!

I took him off my new list which started on Dec 1st because I read this bloody thread and found out he was still working!!

Unless you get on another plane that is........

Or Roxanne Rawls

By the way what are vinegar tits?

When I saw he'd died I was so shocked, after all the years of teasing!! Had the notion he'd faked his own death until I saw him lying in state(not literally of course!) Also I can't believe there's been 13 pages discussing him since his death!! Hopefully his passing will signal the end of this thread and all the political ranting!! Out of all the people on the list, who do u lot think will warrant this much posting when they die?

Well if you did then you'd win DDP!

Yes, am in a sweepstake with a few others. Don't see the point in spending lots of time researching etc unless you're gonna gain summit out of it!

Really? Me too! Whereabouts you from?

He was never ill in the first place!

Is Snope's best friend Charlie Brown?

Report in the Sunday Express says he was in Nip/Tick this year. Maybe they gave him a new liver when he wasn't looking?

You sure you're English mr ICU Quote fixed [HCW]

Seems a *bit* of a coinky dink that he just happens to have a heart attack the week after he's put under house arrest. Makes me wonder if ole Biggsy really did go to Brazil or was actually giving avoid justice tips in Chile.

Why are you all so competitive over the DDP when there's no money involved??

You really need to get out more

I have a list of possibles that I would believe would in theory appear on the DL, if you're interested GR... Send away dear chap! Could do with a few ideas as I'm very close to finalising my lists for next year!

Just spent another long night trawling through this thread. Have noted down a few good ideas for my list but quite disappointed at the huge number of people who definately don't pass the famousness test being touted!

You could be a darling and pm me ole bean

As much as looking at a big ole list of possibilities is interesting, it would be even better if you could enlighten me as to why you've picked em!

Article from today's Sun: Former Dallas star Larry Hagman was rushed to hospital after collapsing at his home. Hagman, 75-who played oil baron JR Ewing in the glitzy TV soap-blacked out after complaining of headaches. He was kept in for tests but was last night recovering at his house in Malibu, California. His illness remained a mystery. Ex-boozer Hagman had a liver swap ten years ago and has been dogged by poor health. But a source played down the latest scare, insisting: "He's doing great". I feel for the poor bugga who received his liver in the swap!

He's turned 70 today according to the birthdays in The Sun!
