Not sure, but at least its not the 'Fosters Oval' any more.

Public Gardens’ goose dies at 20 'Fowl' play not suspected

Walter Jacobi, one of the original rocket scientists, died yesterday, aged 91.

Sunday Times profile. Not too much on the health front, but an interesting read nonetheless (imo).

Our Pietro seems to be upsetting the natives.

I vote for this fella:

Went for Michael Foot this time, for no other reason than 'why not'.

Clinton dies; thats Tommy Clinton, former Evertonian.

Then I find that its already known about but someone spelt her name wrong!

Strange... This thread gets resurrected and I find that a certain Virginia Davis has died. Words fail me!

Irish champion cyclist Paul Healion has died following a crash.

John Ritter was 55. Died of an aortic dissection - a little young, yes, but not an unusual death. Bernie Mac had sarcoidosis and got pneumonia. Natasha Richardson was a genuine unexpected tragedy. J.T. Walsh was 54 and died of a heart attack - hardly unheard of. Brad Renfro overdosed - hardly unusual in Hollywood. Farrah Fawcett was 62 and had cancer. Jim Varney was 50 and a heavy smoker who died of lung cancer. My observation is that the deaths supposedly related to Gene Wilder were, for the most part, people dying of natural causes...some may have been younger than "normal," but I don't think any of them were such tremendous surprises. Being as Gene Wilder is 76 years old, it's not surprising that he's buried a bunch of co-stars. Also, Wilder starred in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Johnny Depp starred in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. In order to link up deaths like 888-333 is trying to do here, you kind of have to have a common denominator surrounded by unusually tragic and unexpected deaths. People outliving their peers is hardly unusual, and smokers dying young is common. Doesn't scan for me. I mean, I've outlived all kinds of family members myself. Agreed. Thats 8 actors from 67 movies, hardly conclusive evidence of a 'Billy Bob' curse (though Petr Boil Peter Boyle should perhaps be on the list).

But still unlikely to expire in 2010!

I know its Idi Amin, but any chance of naming these people for the benefit of others that don't know? I normally do (if I post anyone). Its just that TMIB didn't identify his post.... Elvis needed no introduction... Elvis who? (j/k)

Thats (maybe) one reason. Unless working with Billy Bob Thornton is known to cause premature death.

Welcome to DL 888-333. This might sound stupid, but what does 888-333 mean? I've come to the conclusion that its either: a cunning reference to his physical and mental ages, or, its purely a coincidental collection of characters resulting in something appearing meaningful produced by a cat wandering across the keyboard, in much the same way as cats call the emergency services like so. Or his initials are HC.

Former 'Crossroads' star John Bentley has died aged 92. He played Hugh Mortimer back in the 70's (and was from the same place I went to school).

I know its Idi Amin, but any chance of naming these people for the benefit of others that don't know? I normally do (if I post anyone). Its just that TMIB didn't identify his post....

Rolling fags? Its a similar technique to a Bombay roll................ Hope that helps. I don't know what that is. Dare I Google it? Ah, phew, not as bad as I thought. Not like when I had to Google a Cleveland Steamer....at work I Googled 'black box' once (at work); that was interesting.

16 August 2003:

Blitzkrieg guitarist Ian Jones has died, though you can still contact him through Myspace apparently.

You had me going there for a moment! -------------------------------------------- Anyway the world oldest studednt (at 84!) has died Heres a Link: http://www.capitalfm.co.ke/news/Local/Worl...aruge-dies.html Actually aged 90; he started primary school at 84!

Bog??

Actor John Quade dies at 71. Probably best known over here as the Hells Angel gang leader in the 'Every Which Way...' films. Right turn Clyde!

Costa Rican Leader Oscar Arias has announced he has swine flu, but is apparently still well enough to work from home. Now I'm not casting doubt on this diagnosis or anything, but when I had 'normal' flu some years ago, I could barely summon up the energy to complain about my headache!
