Groan.

^ This looks promising (for DL purposes if not for the man himself)

The article doesn't state where they were married, but as they were both born in the Punjab, it's quite possible that they were married there and came to the UK later in life. As I understand it, such young brides are not unusual in India, even today. regards, Hein That's what I inferred from the article as well.

But he didn't win one. The quote didn't say he did; it merely said he deserved it.

Conrad Black's nose does seem to be exceptionally brown. I wonder why he thinks people will respect Thatcher because a convicted fraudster says she was good?

James Randi is famous in Australia for being on the receiving end of this rant by American-born talk show host, Don Lane. haha that's classic! Apparently the audience applauded Lane for the rant, but he was then forced to offer an apology to Randi.

James Bond can never die!

Maybe "most influential person to have died who wasn't as famous as they should have been". But not most significant.

The more universal list for 2011 would read something like: January: Pete Postlethwaite or Gerry Rafferty February: Jane Russell March: Elizabeth Taylor April: Sidney Lumet May: Osama Bin Laden June: Peter Falk July: Amy Winehouse August: John Howard Davies (really only because no-one else of note died in this month) September: Cliff Robertson October: Steve Jobs (narrowly beating Muammar Gaddafi) November: Joe Frazier (for significance) or Gary Speed (for shock value) December: Kim Jong-il Most significant deaths of 2011 IMHO: 1. Bin Laden 2. Jobs 3= Gaddafi 3= Taylor 5. Winehouse

It doesn't matter. We could have no deaths until December, then 25 hits to Christmas. That sounds like the beginnings of a perfect deathlist Christmas song !! On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, a grave for Lady T...

Is this notaguest again?

I support this choice on the 2012 DL.

Not really sure why he is on the list.

Are you Ian Hislop?

I wouldn't take SA's government's words as gospel. I dropped Mandela from my DDP team, by reason of disappointing effort. Did I make a mistake? regards, Hein I don't think so. I have a feeling that he will still be alive come the end of 2012.

I see there are a good collection of nonagenarians in this year's list, fingers crossed it won't be too long before the first contender drops! PS. Clive Dunn is 92 this year, not 90 as it states on the front page.

Bhumibol Adulyadej.

Nelson Mandela. He will live through 2012, mark my words!

Come on you hag, die within the next 4 hours and give us all a merry new year! PS. apologies to those who may see this thread as recently updated and believe that Thatcher has already died.

So he was 'the man who turned down the Beatles'. What a fool

Posted here yesterday http://www.deathlist...ndpost&p=167074 Tell me - do I have a shit sense of humour, or is Russell Brand just a shit comedian? I don't find him funny in the slightest. Shit comedian. Shit person. Agreed! That's not a nice way to talk about Windsor!

not surprised at all.

Those who are immortal often do.

Excellent choice, IMO. It'd be his second time as a DL candidate. regards, Hein Agreed. It's time for the last of the infamous dictators to fall! Still a couple more yet though , fidel castro, raul castro and hugo Chavez. Call me sentimental but Fidel Castro deserves a slightly higher place in history than just being a dictator.
