    Fall Nelson?

    Nelson Mandela

    Yeah, been trying to think of something based around "Truth and Reconciliation" for five minutes, I got nothing.

    Nelson Mandela

    It'd be funny if he carks it on Sunday evening and his death, like his release from prison, leads to newsflashes knocking "Antiques Roadshow" off the air for.

    Looks like it's going to be within 48 hours. Mikhail beaten to the punch.

    Dead Pop Stars

    Ewanya "Puff" Johnson, who scraped the UK top 20 back in 1997 with "Over and Over", dead at 40 with cervical cancer.

    Coleman Falls?

    Sky darts anchor Dave Clark "opens up" to the Daily Mail about his battle with Parkinsons, the same disease that led to his dad's suicide. To be honest I'd be close to suicide as well if I had to sit through another Phil Taylor "I'm 53 you know, there's some great talent on the tour these days, normally Barney would be hitting those in for fun, I was talking to me mate Robbie Williams" interview.

    Political Frailty

    He was also the last surviving member of Italy's first post-war cabinet and, I think, the first ever European leader to come out as homosexual (not while serving though, obviously).

    Political Frailty

    Wouldn't be a month if Silvio Berlusconi wasn't found guilty in another trial. Lifetime ban from politics and seven years in prison. He probably only has six or seven more appeals he's entitled to, so he could be in jail as soon as 2024.

    P. sure Mickey did more for world peace though. Both these dudes are on my DDP line-up, so everything's coming up Quantick this month.

    Demi Lovato's dad.

    Stairway To Heaven/ Highway To Hell

    Am I to guess that this site automatically changes anything after a slash in a headline to lower case? It did the same with me earlier.

    US Ensemble Dramas/HBO Box Set Shows

    Yeah, Robert Morse was definitely someone I was thinking about when starting this thread, his role on the show has basically been reduced to sitting down and having one line an episode this season. Let's not forget the Sopranos actors who are now in prison: Lillio Brancato (Matthew Bevilaqua) is current doing ten years for killing a policeman during a botched robbery; Tony Darrow (Larry Boy Barese) is doing three years after it was revealed he was a member of the Gambino Crime Family and involved in extortion; and Robert Iler (AJ Soprano), who committed armed robbery during the show's run, has done nothing of note since the show ended other than be part of the underground poker club bust that was briefly a showbiz story a few years ago.

    Janice: There's a Zuni saying: for every 20 wrongs a child does, ignore 19. Tony: There's an old Italian saying: you fuck up once, you lose 2 teeth.

    Hollywood Possibilities

    No joke, two days ago I was thinking about starting a thread for Sopranos/The Wire/Mad Men/Oz/etc actors. As a second-gen Italian, this is basically as close to a day of national mourning for me as you can imagine.

    I mean, our line of work, it's always out there. You probably don't even hear it when it happens, right?

    The Dead Of 2013

    Welsh pop culture potter and the creator of Groggs John Hughes dies at 78, less than a week after getting an MBE.

    Deathlist Under 45

    I think it's funnier to focus on the fact that he wrote for Buzzfeed. Michael Hastings thinks that driving below the speed limit is LAME and FAIL

    Country For Old Men (And Women)

    Slim Whitman, surprisingly never mentioned on this thread before (in fairness, I thought he'd been dead for 20 years), is now tumbling with the tumbleweeds aged 90. Slim to none.

    Deathlist Under 45

    Single-vehicle accident as well.

    The Fringes Of Fame/family Of The Famous

    Forget where we had a discussion of Naveena Sine, who was attempting "to prove that people don't need to eat to live", but she's given up her quest on day 45, because she's realised that it's "dangerous".

    50. Stuart Hall

    Wouldn't be surprised if he "forgets to take his medication" and has a heart attack in the next few weeks, a la Kenneth Lay.

    Refuse to believe anyone in a normal mental state could ever find his Evening Standard columns entertaining, put it that way.

    Ray Price

    Price's optimism that he could do 150 gigs this year is starting to look a little misguided.
