Leading British poet Hugo Williams in need of a kidney transplant. He's also Simon 'Upstairs Downstairs' Williams' brother.

I didn't think it was that shit, it just veered off from its stated aim, i.e. list 1,000,000 famous dead people, in the style of those count to a million threads on other fora. I considered the posting of links to off-site lists of not-really-famous people as not within the spirit of the game. However, its not necessary to close the thread - there's still over 200,000 to go! 795580 McLean Stevenson

As sobering as that is, can I draw your attention to the following .While the aforementioned are worthy of remembrance, can they really be classed as famous? Surely the same argument could be made against the 9/11 victims and the victims of the titanic, they're famous due to being tragic victims of a famous catastrophe. Nobody could name all the victims of the titanic or 9/11 by heart so your logics says they shouldn't be included but they were without fuss so... I think people gathering in tribute to you every year requires a famous status of some degree. In that case, add the the other 5million+ allied casualties & close the thread.

I've added two John Smiths. Without specifying who either of them were. It would be mega useful if you could specify them now then.. John Smith, Labour Party leader; John Smith, brewer (currently spinning in his grave over the abomination that is 'extra smooth'). Thus Deathray's list runs 1798-2082 Rotten Ali's 9/11 casualties run 2083 - 5067 and Deathrays Great War casulaties runs from 5068-15392 15393 Phil Lynott 15394 Gary Moore
