Joao Havelange, 95, former head of FIFA who recently resigned from the IOC because he was facing charges of corruption.

That's about 6 months away. Will Thatch hang on that long? One would hope not.

Who thought of the name "Bawbag" for the hurricane anyway?

Speaking of which, how come he's already written an article next month? That Vanity Fair article's dated January 2012. Would it have the racing results in there? Or the lottery numbers .... At least we know he's definitely still going to be alive to put on the 2012 list.

Nail him up I say!

Yawn. Just wake me up before he go-gos. I just want some Freedom from this constant speculation about his health.

How old are you?What? Old enough, it seems, to be a bit hard of hearing. regards, Hein He is clearly an old man who favours traditional language. Yes, like fuck off. LMFAO.

he's dead http://www.goal.com/...es-dies-aged-57 The shame of this episode probably did for him. Indeed.

oh ffs. Either word is acceptable Mr Pedantic. "Movies" does sound rather an ancient term, as though it might have described what came before "talkies". Anyway, I'm off to take the dog for his walkies. It's not pedantry, rather a protest against the way our language is becoming permeated by so many Americanisms. I have relatives who say that something they like is "to die for." That's vomit-inducing. It's like calling biscuits, cookies and sweets, candies. That's fine in America, but citizens of the UK who do that should be dragged in to the street and executed in front of their families. What? How old are you?

You mean he's immortal? Clive Dunn is immortal and we still discuss him.

Ryan Giggs said his thoughts were with Gary Speed's wife at this time. For fuck's sake Giggsy, he's only been dead two days!

I didn't know teletext still existed!

I wonder if people realise it's ironic when they say they are lost for words (as Ryan Giggs did on hearing of Speed's demise).

I had never heard of him until today. Looking at his stats he doesn't appear to be anything special. Besides, this time tomorrow he'll probably be exposed as a paedo of something... He is Wales' most capped outfield player of all time. Not sure how impressive that really is...

That happened 'quickly' !

Yorkshire pudding doesn't have Yorkshire in it...

Will it be his Last Christmas? I have Faith that he'll survive the winter.

Let us not forget these venerable gentlemen who died on the same day:

I went to see 19001, which isn't 100 years long, but it's length (317 minutes) makes it quite a feat to complete. For the spectator, that is. 1Not quite recently. Must've been 20 years ago. regards, Hein That film has quite an impressive cast though!

I thought it was because you are Welsh and devoid of personality. My inability to find an obvious thread has nothing to do with either, that was down to basic incompetence. What was the point of your insulting post? Basic incompetence and being Welsh may be related

25 years on and only the following from the original DL have not died *: Clive Dunn Andrea de Cesaris Anna Wing Ozzy Osbourne * I count "any one Beatle" (i.e. George Harrison) as having died since then. Although I know this could be construed the other way around i.e. that "any one Beatle" (or even two) are still alive.

Why won't she die???
