He is now long gone as he was featured on Last Word on Friday. and has already been reported as such (twice) in the Death by Jazz thread.

Joseph Kony's chief bodyguard Binani has been killed according to the Ugandan army. No word on Kony himself however.

I'd prefer more like Mark Austin to more like Trevor McDonald.

Its the 50th anniversary of the death of former Labour Party leader Hugh Gaitskell. Was he killed by the Soviets?

Please, for the love of fucking Christ, stop it. We all know where Wikipedia's "Deaths In 2013" page is. Then why isn't Chikokola on that list? Isn't that an Abba song? It's Chiquitita, I think, but both names have similarities. Is anyone thinking what I'm thinking? If its what I think you're thinking, then I'm inclined to say its not - the English is too good.

Please, for the love of fucking Christ, stop it. We all know where Wikipedia's "Deaths In 2013" page is. Then why isn't Chikokola on that list? Isn't that an Abba song? Didn't Ray Davies meet her in a club down in old Soho?

Here it is!

Popular pool pick John Nkomo dies aged 78.

Oh?

I do. I (occasionally) download too, but I like the permanence of the actual disc. Most people go to Tesco or Asda for their groceries not audio/video products; That they may on occasion buy such products but that is incidental to their main visit. Fact is, most people buy their CDs or DVDs from Amazon.

Some rather bad puns on the Tesco horsemeat 'scandal'.

This should really be in the Dead of 2012 but that thread's locked. Violet Philpott, creator of Zippy, died aged 90 back on December 14th. This provides another excuse to post this for the benefit of new readers.

25 years since The major, Ballard Berkeley, decided it was finally about that time

Walked into the cold room at work and it felt warmer than outside of it.

Hi TMIB, I've noticed that the formatting of the Jimmy Young entry is a bit screwed up. TTFN

HMV poised to call in administrators. Coincidentally (?)

Cheers TMIB. There's still a pint with your name on it waiting when you show up at the DL Con! Just let me know. I see some scumbag has jumped on the Les Munro bandwagon....

Fairly confident summat will come up in that regard. That's two of my Pussy Perishes Last theme team for DDP gone already. We're a week and a half into the New Year . Two of yout Pussy perishes last team have gone already. You clearly need to rethink you team name.

Who?

I had all four of mine out under general in May 11 - it was fucking horrendous. You have all of my sympathy. Thanks LB. Would not like to have this upset times four fold, so you get all my belated sympathies. Thanks going to Time (I'll mind the rosemary) and LG (grim story to recount) too. 24 hours ago now so allready making a fair recovery after a poor nights sleep. Mrs Rotten is very unsympathetic though. She's had me doing the vacuuming and dishwasher chores. JOY. Rosemary and time.... Wonder if there's a TV programme or a song or summat there....

The crossword, in which the news was announced, and the Guardian's report on same. I'm lucky if I can understand the clues, let alone get an answer. I'm more a Rufus man.

I had a tooth extraction a few years ago, fortunately not a wisdom tooth; a few weeks after, just as i was beginning to get used to having a gap instead of a tooth, I was eating Sunday lunch - roast lamb, with rosemary. I do not recommend getting one of those bastard needles stuck in the gum where a tooth used to be!

Nobs out.

Dr Feelgood, the guys who sang "When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman". That was Dr. Hook No, Dr. Hook did "The Next Episode" and "California Love". I thought Dr Hook was from The Muppet Show.
