CBE, no? Not Sir Humphrey either as he got his in 2000 a year before his (untimely) demise.

The great Alan Bates lasted 9 months (he was suffering from pancreatic cancer at the time of award and struggled to make the ceremony). There is another actor, household name, I am pretty sure lasted days/weeks after the actual ceremony (another known to be seriously ill with cancer), but I am struggling on who it was right now. It'll come back to me.

Why was the Independent dropped anyhow? The I is allowed and its essentially the same newspaper? I know it's digital only, but then, a good chunk of the digital obits allowed never show up in the print editions of their respective newspapers.

So this thread will start becoming hugely active then. Yer both right.

Australian novelist Peter Temple, aged 71. Authors thread name too obviously but here for DJL - bigger name in Australia than here, apparently.

Final bit of tax evading from the master.

Beyond his comedy gigs (I believe a short one would run to 10 hours) and novelty singles (Tears was a UK Number 1!), he was also quite good in Branagh's Hamlet, and his Doctor Who cameo is far better than the Ian Levine type fans will have you believe. Apparently he married his missus of 40+ years on Friday.

Hmm, stretching a curse ever so slightly there.

Tears for souvenirs are all he's left us. Yes, the great Ken Dead has doddered off, and as his only appreciator under the age of 70 I am not tickled by this news. Six weeks in ICU with pneumonia was always going to be a tough ask for a 90 year old, and yet, it's YWillz who kept the faith and YWillz alone. He moves into a 4-0 lead on Cap'n Chorizo - upset on the way? Indeed he's probably thinking: happiness, happiness, the greatest gift... Death Impends vs Heef 6-10 Gcreptile vs Sir Creep 3-7 Joey Russ vs Grim Up North 6-6 Phantom of the Midway vs The Dead Cow 6-6 Sean vs Charon 0-0 Roverandout vs DDT 0-6 Captain Chorizo vs Young Willz 0-4 msc vs Deadsox 6-7

Hearing from pals Kate Wilhelm has sadly died. Seems to be true. No obit yet, but Will certainly arrive before long. EDIT:

Note to self: evade suspicion by refraining from "FUCK KIRK DOUGLAS DIE BITCH" posts.

So can any of us think of any regulars with a fondness for spamming up the forum when bored on a semi-regular occurrence? None that I can think of, of course. Also, I was mid-post when the thread got deleted so: Drol was one of Lama's likes. Free the droll Italian one!

Do you know the Battersea Dog's Home? I didn't even know it was away.

Apparently he supported liberalising church views on divorce back in the 90s, which makes him equivalent to the Corbyn wing of the Vatican.

So DI loses 3 points and then Heef gains 4 in the one day. Ah, 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, no? Though no need to kill any uncles, now...

Kennedy points nullified. No sub as first notice of death was on the 3rd of the month, and this is now the 10th. That's luck (or not) for you.

Yes, a unique pick for Here's Who You Could Have Won. I hear it was a case of "they'll never obit in a thousand years...or will they?" curiosity.

Well, it's better than Michael McIntyre.

Seemed OK in those railway things from last year. Thought - to do with his stroke? Apparently it was quite bad, and he had/has to do speech therapy. iirc most of his talking bits were voice over, so in recording booth with script, not in front of a live audience.

Oh yeah, forgot: Katie Hopkins, ex, in a field. Theresa May's naughtiest moment was in a field, apparently. Fucks sake, they're not the only ones hoping no one nearby has brandishing a camera! Just needed to dispel that horrific thought onto other people. Night!

Aww, RIP the post about me being the bestest (ok, 3rd bestest, but bronze is a result imo) on Deathlist. Even Scrooge (my middle name - see that S!) smiled briefly. Not capitalising my name though, sorry, contrarian sod, remember. Well, I say that, one of the admins could, I don't particularly care, but if they were doing that they could change the tagline at the same time to Demented Glaswegian or something till I come up with anything better. Anyhow, I digress, much like this thread has, but anyhow, much like Leah, we can all continue to post shite in the morning.

Too mellow to be Zorders, and the Kid is back and a lot more pleasant so far. No mentions of Corrie in 195 posts so going to assume d)

Not an update as such but someone on Reddit has posted a local news story on Matt Cappotelli - the benefit night he is struggling speak at is from September btw.

Oh I forgot it was last man standing. At least that's my excuse, for all I know I didn't look at the rules last year and have forgotten this.
