Demented Glaswegian

Bit unfair calling him a star. He was a guy they took on, and made one jobbing appearance on a show. It'd be like calling that prelimanary MMA guy who died last year, who appeared in one show, a top UFC star.

What you trying to say Lardy? You want Patrick Moore to come round and give you a warm cuddle? Perhaps you just want to burn him on an open fire. That should keep you warm till next summer then. I'll tell you all - it's global warming!!! How can it be global warming, it's f'ucking freezing! It's 23C, 64% humidity in Glasgow. The heating is staying well off.

It does seem that certain years in a decade tend to be worst hit for big deaths. 2007/97/77/67 downwards for example. One's ending in three are another example. Ones's ending in Nines tend to be hit or miss.

Mathieu Moncourt, the World number 108, who you may remember was the centre of a betting scandal a few years ago, and who took Stepanek to four sets at the French Open two months ago, has been found dead in France. It seems to have been a suspected suicide. Only 24. http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/articl...8nrpYAD999IS380

Can't see Cronkite hanging on much longer, sadly.

He also has a chest infection according to the BBC news there. Is there anything this man hasn't had recently? A front door with his own key? Ooof. Well played, sir.

Was this before the stroke? I currently can't imagine Kirk Douglas being a good voice-actor. It's one of the better known episodes - "The Day the Violence Died" where Bart helps a homeless man who claims he created Itchy and Scratchy. Kirk voiced the Homeless Man - he did pretty good. ETA - Sorry, forget to answer your question - It was in the 1996 season!

Hopefully that'll stop BCAlum 'moaning' for a while. Additionally, McMahon is the third The Simpsons guest star to die this year... perhaps I'll create a mundane thread about it. Who were the first 2? Linda McArtney and Barry White? The first two this year were Patrick McGoohan and John Updike. I compiled a list for a fansite a while back, so I guess I may as well create a thread for the few who may be interested.... Of course. I just came across Updike's appearance - not an episode I've seen - and I had forgotten McGoohan had been in the Simpsons.

Who were the first 2? Linda McArtney (spelling) and Barry White? Well, Tito Puente and Ron Taylor are long gone, as is George Harrison! I thought it meant died THIS year?

Oh he's massive in Japan. Sold out arenas in six continents. Widely regarded as one of the greatest wrestlers to have ever lived. It's one of the biggest tragedies to hit world wrestling since...well...ages. Didn't think anyone on here would really care though.

Levi-Strauss will live forever, you know. He's the one passing the immortality information to Clive Dunn.

Nothing like keeping it in the family...

Mexican wrestling legend Abismo Negro found dead at 37 Apparently he decided to walk into a river.
