Sr Wybourne has handed over control of her Twitter account while she deals with another bout of "chemocosh":
-
Auto-generated pages don't count, that's just because the regional write-up was tagged "Mount Everest". There is some precedent with auto-generated pages not being a valid QO, but I forget the exact details. TMIB?
-
I think Vader's in the Superstar Billy school of ill wrestlers, rather than the Bobby Eaton/Ole Anderson one.
-
Yeah, there's plenty of articles out there about how heavy a drinker he was. Weird because you usually have an image of these stadium EDM types as being Fiji Water-drinking gym heads.

Keep it in here lads.

Hey brother, there's an endless road to rediscover...
-
Took a pill in Oman, to show Avicii I was cool. Gotta be one of the biggest "at their chart peak" deaths of all time really, up there with Jim Reeves and 2Pac.
-
Trained Dave Taylor, among others.
-
Nobody needs to do a "contestants on "Hole In The Wall"" list btw: just Lil Chris and Kristian Digby (memba him?) are dead from it.
-
Thanks for that list btw, I think it's finally solved the long standing query I've had about watching someone receive a posthumous Gotcha as a kid, by the looks of things it must have been Bertice Reading. I can confirm that Jim Bowen and Dr Mark Porter were both Gotcha'd as well, looking through the BBC Genome Project: http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/search/0/20?q=gotcha+noel&svc=9371541#search

TMZ goes big on the Abby Lee Miller "cancer" talk, but looks like it's just Burkitt's lymphoma, so don't rush to your longlists just yet. Still, don't think ol' ALM will be making her 70th birthday.
-
World's oldest man claimant/bold-faced liar Celino Villanueva Jaramillo dead at "121". DDP pick.
-
I thought Paul Jones was already dead, but I was thinking of Gary Hart. Goddamn, what a bad day to die if you're a B-level wrestling personality.
-
Surely the biggest DDP miss of the year? Stunned nobody had him.
-
Tears for Fears postpone tour due to "unforeseen health concerns".
-
Apparently had beef with former DQSP stalwart Mother Angelica.

Glitter rubs off? Butterfly on a wheel?

Out of interest, I decided to see who Mr Wellington was interiming in the place of. My guess was "some westerner with a weird non-sensical career trajectory that suggests he may have ties to an agency and/or organised crime". I was right, come on down Loughborough University sports science graduate Frank Nuttall:
-
Interim Hearts of Oak manager Henry Wellington taken suddenly ill with "heart (not of oak) pains". You'd have said "so what" but I get the feeling a serving manager of any of African football's "name" teams would get a BBC obit, even if it's just on the African newsblog.
-
Dunno, I kinda liked the drunk twins.

20th November 2047, which would see her decisively break Jeanne Calment's record as world's oldest-ever person.
-
Real 90s kids will remember The Mardi Gra Bomber, the UK's cut-price answer to the Unabomber. Seemingly completely forgotten nowadays, apparently he has been released from prison and is "in poor health" according to this no-doubt finely researched blogpost. Whether a man can go from front-page crime wave to dying without a QO 20 years later, that's up for you to guess.

DEATHLIST FORUM, SHOW ME YOUR WARFACE:

Look at that mountain, look at those trees, look at that former first lady over there she's down on her knees.

Neil Shand, Spike Milligan's co-writer on Q and also a major contributor to the Two Ronnies is dead according to the current BBC radio news bulletins. Was also married to first-ever Who Wants to Be A Millionaire winner and future Egghead Judith Keppel.
