The axe is about to fall. The axe has fallen

What sort of bollocks would you prefer they teach? (Just asking.)

I could do with a hand assembling some flat-pack furniture, if you're that stuck for something to do!

. Neil Young also penned this one: Ohio. Then there's this one brought to mind by last weeks hoax about Gordon Lightfoot, . Finally tonight, the "ultimate crash song", .

Does the bus driver count? At least he had the foresight to keel over while driving 5 other bus drivers to work!

US actress Caroline McWilliams has died aged 64 (11 February). Best known for her roles in Soap and Benson, she was also a director and was at one time married to Michael Keaton.

Congrats OoO & Mrs OoO2B. I expect we'll next hear from you in a couple of years time, when you've caught up on your sleep!

Artist Andy Warhol's 15 minutes were up on this day in 1987.

Firstly, I can't believe I didn't think of it earlier. Secondly, I can't believe no-one's come up with it since. Hit it Tom! Or, if you prefer, Alex, !

So why start a thread on him? If the deaths of nonentities like this must be recorded, stick 'em in the deaths thread. Can we vote this thread off the forum? Yes - get rid of the dead wood. Coat?

And we can't forget this of love and death!

I agree. One of the all-time greats. Then there's and .

Ferruccio Lamborghini, entrepeneur and car-maker. Died, 20 February 1993, aged 76.

That's sad. I didn't think he'd ever die! He's like Clive Dunn - always been old and, therefore, must be immortal. Actually, he was younger than Dick Van Dyke, who played his son in Chitty Chitty Band Bang. He was only 41-42 for that role, which I suppose is some indication of his talent that he could successfully pull it off. Enjoy him again .

Probably a minority interest here, but former major Leagure Baseball Umpire John Kibler has died aged 81. For afficionados, he was 1st base umpire who called Mookie Wilson's ball fair for the winning hit of game 6 of the 1986 World Series (you know, the one Bill Buckner let through).

His name was George Waring. Villa legend Kenny Swain was on the radio when I was typing my posts. Obsessed, me? Never! Villa legend? Chelsea legend surely (give or take the odd European Cup).

I can't claim to have known this, I discovered it while compiling my weekly quiz, but Warren G. Harding died in the Palace Hotel, San Francicso (in the Presidential Suite, naturally).

Some reasonable assumptions but completely moot as its a very USA-centric quiz. Mind you most of the 'working class' smokers I know smoke either roll-ups made from cheap tobacco from Spain or Belgium or illegal imports from a bloke who knows a bloke who gets 'em cheap.

Dead. Not Dead (edit- don't bother clicking, its the same as the link above!)

Actress/singer Kathryn Grayson, famed for MGM Musicals such as Kiss Me Kate, has died aged 88.

7 out of 9. I got the US state question wrong, which didn't surprise me a bit, and the drowning/falling one, which did. regards, Hein (non-USAian and proud) Yes I got the state question wrong too, as well as the Asian vs African-American lifespan (I'm also non-USAian, though have lived there for a few years many years ago). I actually only got 6 out of 9 because I inexplicably clicked the wrong answer on the last question, knowing full well that I had done so . Had it been an earlier question, I'd have gone back and corrected myself, but you don't get that option on the last one!

Now we've seen how many Canadians we don't know, try this Likelihood of Death quiz, from the same site.

Baseball announcer Harry Caray, famed for his , died this day 1998.

Censorship. A mother wants certain books removed from a school library because they're 'inappropriate' for middle-school aged pupils. Thats right, don't let them grow up, keep them wrapped in cottton-wool forever and when they graduate they'll be absolutly useless.

Well that sucks!
