Your 60s wank bank is slowly diminishing, you'll have to move on to the 70s soon for your meat-beating fodder. (That's the 1970's, not ladies in their 70s). To be fair Lardy, some seventies wank fodder could now be in their seventies! Anouska Hempel & Britt Ekland to name but 2. Gabrielle Drake is only 69 though.

2010 joint laureate for economics Dale Mortensen dies aged 74.

That was quick. Good Work TMIB. Six uniques, including my joker (none of whom I actually expect to die this year, but you never know).

You said that last year. Now either register or just shut the fuck up Fixed.

Kim Kyong-hui dead, according to the Mirror. Heart attack or suicide?

Bugger, I went for Ethel!! Totally understand. Hot!! Isn't she? Don't know about hot, but definitely warmer than Dorothy!!

I make that a paltry 24 on the DLRI. Could do better.

The Daily Mail was, as you might expect, quite reserved in its coverage.

The Daily Mail source for this story is the National Enquirer; that's about as reliable as the National Enquirer sourcing its stories from the Daily Mail.

Bugger, I went for Ethel!!

It does. Though I wouldn't disagree with your final sentence. Personally, I've met many teachers who I wouldn't piss on if they were on fire, but there are some good, even brilliant, teachers about; just not enough.

It was posted 4 posts above yours by OoO. Ah, I searched Allison not 1961 ( and I did say I wasn't sure).

I'm not sure, but this seems to have been missed - Bob Allison from UK's 1961 Eurovision contestants the Allisons died November 25th.

I've kept faith with all my standing members from last year, with the exception of Mike Stoller, so with three successes last year (my best so far) my four new faces are Buck Henry (joker) - admittedly a long shot, Valery Giscard d'Estaing, Nobby Stiles and Joseph Wapner. Theme team entries are just for fun - I count any success there as pure good fortune (on my part, at least). Happy DDP'ing all.

This kind of tripe is exactly why guests should be banned. Yeah, this should have gone in 2013 Deaths.

Clearly not.

Graham for me too. He can't hang on forever.

FWIW, BB King played last night at The Capitol Theatre in Clearwater Florida.

Presenter Geoffrey Wheeler of Songs of Praise and Top of The Form fame has died aged 83. Didn't realise he was still alive! Its a 'Wheeler-Fortune' day!

Eiichi Ohtaki of Japanese rock legends Happy End meets not such a happy end.. Choked to death on a piece of apple, aged 65.

Mine are in (x3). I'm sure 2014 will be my year!

Driver for Robinson's brewery? OK by me. Seriously though, he seems to have had me than his sharemof bad luck.

A nice way to round off Christmas Day

Uh yeah it's about the fucking fact that it's thanks to fucking "people" like him, everything on TV now is just a wank-arse panel show or "Live At the Apollo" with the same 10 or 12 shitty "comedians" in absolutely everyfuckingthing. Firstly, "everything on TV" is not just "wank-arse panel shows". Ripper Street, Downton Abbey, Dr Who, X-Factor, Strictly Come Dancing, Peaky Blinders, Broadchurch? Wank-arse panels shows? All just so that some middle aged New Labour ponce can line his pockets with DVD sales/BBC money. No, not "just because some middle aged New Labour ponce can line his pockets", but because for reasons you or I may not understand, these are popular. Surely you don't imagine that someone can line their pockets producing DVDs that nobody wants? It must be all his fault, of course, one man amongst 60million others if you read other articles, all the junior cockroaches are squawking/squeaking (whatever noise a cockroach makes) about how he "modernised the business" he did, you're right , i.e. he hypnotised bazillions of snotty little suburban cunts how did he do that then? into worshipping Dara O'Fucking Briain as a "legend" do they? does anyone?, and all the other things that are about as appealling and fresh as a bag of fortnight-old camel jizz. I bet the gormless cunt never spent a penny of his millions in a creative or interesting way, either Maybe, I don't know. Do you?. You should see some of the stunts I would pull if I had £50m. I was gonna say "he probably just spent it on coke and whores" but I bet he wasn't even that interesting. Maybe not, but he did start the Brighton comedy Festival amd raised money through the C4 Comedy Gala for Great Ormond Street Hospital. Probably just fucking bought a corporate box ticket to the Emirates or whatfuckingever and buying autographed pictures of John Terry off ebay. Are you a Spurs or Fulham fan perchance? Gormless, fucking Nu Lab CUNT. ...and a tory? Oh he also managed Marcus Brigstocke, that alone should have earned him a place at the next Nuremberg trials. Yes, he's a modern day Eirch Priebke. Are you a failed comedian or agent?

Oh, no, I'm in fucking tears! Tears of laughter that is, probably one of the few times I've laughed at anything he's been involved with. http://www.chortle.c...well_dies_at_53 Just look at his fucking resume, in a sane society this kind of stuff would be listed underneath his face/mugshot on an FBI-type most-wanted list: Haha what a cringe-tastic mockney cunt. Good riddance. Did he steal your sweets when you were a kid or summat? If not, I'm struggling to find what warrants such a vitriolic attack.
