Dead. Feels like the type to get a Telegraph obit in a few weeks, but the QO wait begins...

The "six months to live" bit comes from August 2016 and he got better (obv, still breathing!) enough to film stuff since. Course he could have got worse after, but then we get into double bluff/triple bluff/overthinking this shit territory.

Tbf, you sure got me back with that Obayashi advice. "Could go any day" AKA in remission, and I fell for it.

Aye, it's what the rest of us do. Totally tempted to nick the Hewlett Rule off you for next years Cup but will need to change the name to make it look more original.

Although, reminds me of the time he was Falkirk manager - in between 4 stints at Thistle, he helped relegate one of our rivals, such is his big heart. Anyhow, Falkirk are doing shite, and he's in a car with the usual crew - Gerry Collins et all. Car knocks into theirs, deliberately, and knocks him off the road. He gets out, and the driver of the other car yells "You're a shite manager, Lambie!" at him, in a threatening manner. Quick as a flash, he replied to the guy: "Aye, and you're a shite driver!" Defused the situation. Always had to have the last word.

Wont mean much to anyone else, but this is a dagger in the heart. Dude was wonderful - flaws, yes, but that's football - visited a close family member when they were gravely ill in hospital and told them every crap joke he could think off the top of his head. It worked too, they got better.

So Mac fired Buckingham, and he assumed the gig was up, but the rest of band went: "Aha, don't dream it's over!"

From use, most of them do? See bottom of the Billie Jean article here. If that's missing from a specific song article, I'd put it down to over-officious Wiki editor.

Toast is right here. Take the World Cup. A team is 11 players plus the 3 subs. The squad is the pool of 23 players taken to the tournament. Not all of those 23 players will actually see any game time.

Yes, every photo taken in the world has copyright and big companies are very stringent about their uses online. Wiki only uses public domain ie gone out of copyright or the photograph taker has outright said "feel free to use my work". Far murkier than the written word as there's debates around if a photocopy or photograph of a public domain work becomes a copyrighted image and so on. As for lyrics, if you just quote a random line like we all do, fair use should cover you, but a lot of big companies (cough Warner cough) use loopholes and expensive lawyers to sue or demand money from people to use the lyrics. See the furore over 19th Century Happy Birthday.

Bit busy so in quick, Fergie adds 3 points to DDT, Dead Cow and Heef: 1. The Dead Cow vs Sean 6-0 2. Heef vs DDT 6-6 3. Deadsox (reigning champ) vs YWillz 0-0 4. Sir Creep vs Joey Russ 0-3

Hey, her death a few days after that of my uncle really gave us a much needed tonic that week. Huh, that means he went 5 years ago too! Tempus fugit.

Hate to break the sad news to you, Zsa Zsa, but it's not her birthday as she died fucking ages ago.

Four posts above yours: Pauly Shore ✔ @PaulyShore "The reason why I have been Canceling shows and have been laying low on Social is that mom Mitzi. Shore has been on hospice let’s all prey she when she goes to heaven she go peaceful I know she was loved by many of you" From this tweet alone, I am assuming the tragedy is it's his mum and not him in the hospice tbh. I think stroke victims with dementia communicate with more recognisable English.

It'll come when it comes. This forum has lots of threads dedicated to individuals, all with the dead tag on them, full of badly dating posts about how if they've lasted X amount of time, surely they must be on the mend or defying cancer, etc etc. 2 years to the month Bob Ellis, Howard Marks, Jock Scot and Jenny Diski died. 3 years to the month Robert Schuller, Ion Trewin, Richie Benaud, Lauren Hill, Percy Sledge, Francis George, and Colin Bloomfield died. 4 years to the month Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Sandy Jardine and Tito Vilanova died. 5 years to the month Karen Muir, Jack Pardee, Annette Funicello, Anne Williams died. And so on. Other than pointing out April is the cruelest month for non-DDP players, the one thing all of them have in common is they were at one point oft-mentioned DDP picks on this forum, and some of them seemed to go on forever. Yet, blink of an eye, and they've been gone for years. That's life. It'll be the same for any pick you can think of, in time. And indeed, all of us.

^ Was tempted to make him my 2015 joker off of that. He's still writing.

Joe Dee Foster. Dr Hannibal "Cannibal" Pizza. "Maybe he just didn't like me fucking up his movie?" Shelley Winters bloody showing up. I love that film. It's so stupid, full of bad acting (despite the cast!) and awful jokes, yet is far more enjoyable - probably due to all of that - than some of the more serious Hollywood pisstake films. I wonder how much of the cast of Michele Lupo's Weekend Murders are still going? I know Percival is gone. It's like Agatha Christie as told by Dario Argento with shitloads of Tchaikovsky at wonderfully inappropriate moments and Italian piss taking of British culture. Once seen, never forgotten.

Heh, well, Paula Woolsey is some no name woman who may have had the misfortune of being Eric Saward's girlfriend, allegedly, at some point in the 80s. Whereas Paula Moore is actually Ian Levine. And he'll QO for sure. Perhaps sooner than later, given health?

My extra comments in bold. "Fun" vague fact: A long time ago, I contributed to the same book as one of the above. The book is long out of print and thankfully forgotten!

That is quick work, even by Aaron Ramsey's standards.

It's called Camilla.

In a moment that would frankly stagger me a few years ago, not only does Johnny V get a qualifying obit (LOTS of them), he's on the front page of the BBC!

Aww, not Luscious Johnny V! He looked like such a manager it took me years to twig he mostly managed the jobber division. Also, this means of the 3 Valiant Brothers, the sole survivor is Jimmy (AKA Charlie Brown from outta town, if anyone remember that), the one whose health ended his full time career!

Someone, possibly Deathray, will start a thread on the 2018 World Cup next month. Someone else will start a conspiracy theory about Russia and Putin in it within the first ten posts.

How could they tell?
