Draw the curtains, turn out the lights and switch the machine off...please!

Oh for f*ck's sake. Back in hospital again!

It'll be many flagons of good working class stout and a few verses of 'Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead' for me when she goes. I do hope it's soon!

Butch Patrick who played Eddie, Herman Munster's son, in 60's sitcom 'The Munsters' has been diagnosed with prostate cancer..

They're trying to save her life! (Let's hope they don't try too hard.)

Last Wednesday a passenger in a taxi heading for Salford station leaned over to ask the driver a question and gently tapped him on the shoulder to get his attention. The driver screamed, lost control of the cab, nearly hit a bus, drove up over the curb and stopped just inches from a large plate glass window. For a few moments everything was silent in the cab. The shaking driver then said "Are you OK? I'm so sorry, but you scared the daylights out of me." The badly shaken passenger apologized to the driver and said, "I didn't realize that a mere tap on the shoulder would startle someone so badly." The driver replied, "No, no, I'm the one who is sorry, it's entirely my fault. Today is my very first day driving a cab. I've been driving a hearse for 25 years."

It'll happen one day, but not today.

Grauniad obit, so it's official!

By rights it should be Zsa Zsa but my god she's a tough 'un and I think it'll be a few months yet. I've got a feelin' in me water about Harlan Ellison still so I've gone for him.

My money's on Zsa Zsa. I think her time has come.

Gone for a Burton?

An obit of sorts but I don't think it's one that counts for the DDP.

....and no escape from the attentions of Death List either. ....or the UK press!

BBC obit

My vote goes to Harlan Ellison. On my past record this almost guarantees him seeing another Christmas!

....and here's the UK obit.
