Barry Clayton who has died aged 80, was a pioneer of black TV and radio programming. More famously, he narrated Count Duckula and also did the spoken intro for Iron Maiden's Number of The Beast.

I have that problem too. (Well, I used to)

I appear to have missed the last date for posting, so no cards this year, but Merry Christmas nonetheless.

The King William's College Quiz. Quite possibly the hardest quiz of the year. I think I got 2.

Dickie Bird on the other hand looked positively awful.

Tim Minchin http://www.youtube.com/embed/_SFdUJLebzU?feature=player_embedded Conversely, ITV go to room 101 (if they aren't already there). P.S. How does one embed video?

Where DL leads, the Guardian follows. Some people are not entirley happy with the sentiment mind...

Have you copied that ? :lol: Like it. I did, in tribute, use PARC's most famous development.

Quite. He's certainly no Ronnie Biggs.

Link. Its the bottom of the page.

Xerox PARC founder Jacob Goldman has died aged 90.

His 'final interview' before he dies, in which he claims he wasn't involved.

Rhod Gilbert's going to need some new material

A unique pick for the Theme Team "And Its Goodnight From Him...". Given that he fell down the stairs, I'd assume that's an unnatural death bonus? Unless it is deemed natural for 89 year olds to fall down stairs... It is and it's the 9th of the year. Can you believe it? Does this have me rocketing up the charts, or do a couple more Ronnie's have to turn up their toes? This does of course mean I'll have extra work to do now to find a replacement Ronnie for next year. Or I could use Ronnie Corbett.

Jacques Chirac anybody?

Blanket in the ground: Billie-Jo spears dies aged 74.

Sara Payne rushed to hospital 'after collapsing "in agony" '. As this report is from my local paper, she may already have been discharged. They probably wouldn't think about reporting that.

Sunday Bada, Nigerian 400 metre runner, Olympic silver medallist in 2000, has died in Lagos aged 41.

Viscountess Whitelaw, widow of Maggie's Willie, has died aged 94.

The position of Governor General is actually as the monarch's representative in Australia, it is by no-means a direct leadership role, and although there are several reserve powers that the GG can implement when they see fit, they generally leave any "leading" to the politicians in Canberra. Nor are they appointed to the position by the ruling monarch, that practice began to go out of fashion in the 1930's. They are now appointed by parliament. Sir Zelman Cowen. http://www.abc.net.a...950?section=qld Just out of curiosity did his obit make news in the UK? It did.

That's about 6 months away. Will Thatch hang on that long?

Roy Orbison's widow Barbara has died from pancreatic cancer exactly 23 years after her husband died.

I should know better than to respond to the spoutings of a troll, but Mr Walsh didn't say that, it was more akin to killing Gordy off before his time. http://www.nowmagazi...-mix-struggle/1 Anyway, more fool you for actually listening to anything the buffoon says.watching the X factor. sorry, couldn't resist.

I see that TMIB has had an extra X removed from the sub-title of the DDP 2012 thread. Now that we've established a precedent, any chance of having an 'R' inserted into the title of this thread? DL status updates: Statements, Obsevations & Verbal Tennis

Former 'invincible' Sam Loxton has died aged 90.He was Australia's oldest living Test cricketer. Another (unique) hit for Ashes to Ashes when the obit comes.
