Everyone always says holiday on these shows. For some reason, they never find the person who says "I'm going to put it in my savings account!"

2014 is Brazil's World Cup hopes in that Semifinal. I wont fight anyone, just revel in how funny it was.

PS Usually this dovetails into the debate about what is or isn't depression, doctors, etc etc. I don't really give a toss at the moment. An old friend of mine committed suicide a month ago, so perhaps I am unusually over-emotive of late, but Sean's health posts have been deeply worrying for some time, and are now somewhat beyond the "ah go get drunk/laid" jovial responses.

Sean, you really, really need to see a doctor. Immediately. No one on this forum is an expert in your health and perhaps you exaggerate things (hopefully, no offence intended) but what you talk about is the prelude to serious illness so if thats how you feel... doctor. Now. The usual "at my age X happened" from the old fogeys of the forum (me included) are useless. I know I never listened to them. So, yeah, seek help.

Okay... Stephen Spielberg Bill Clinton Mike Tyson Morrissey Franklin Graham Adam Sandler Joey's Physics Teacher

Speilberg's never worked (or spoken to?) with Landis since, iirc.

Hey, if someone wanted to start a list of every famous person with pancreatic cancer still alive, including those not in the press, I woudn't stop them... *starts taking notes*

Forum newcomer () casually naming someone several DDPers had been keeping quiet on the off chance. Not me, of course. Others...

Suicide attempt, imo. Police named the area as the Benalder Bridge. There is a brick wall you could imagine an idiot jumping over and not noticing the bloody bridge right in front of them, but it's on the other side of the river from the Sanctuary night club. Could he have left the nighclub and got over to that side of the river bank first? Not without noticing there was a big fucking river in the way. The other option is he walked through the carpark to the accom on the river bank on the Dumbarton Rd side at the bridge. If they did that, you can tell from car park level there's a bloody river. At the very least, you can hear the damned thing. Something's happened and he's tried to respond to jumping into a particularly shallow and rocky bedded bit of a fast flowing river. Two other facts. Emergency services were called at 2.30am. He wasn't rescued till 4am. Which implies its own story about what happened next. The Kelvin is freezing. There's a drag current as that's a few hundred metres away from the mouth into the River Clyde. Reports say hypothermia, if he escapes with that, and that alone, he's a bloody luck chap. Put it this way, he's not going to be on the teamsheet this weekend...

Drunks with Guns. Sounds like a new reality show.

Oh, has she died? There's a big 7 points for the Drollercoaster's top 10 DDP challenge. The surprise being that she lasted to August, rather than dying soon in the year, of course.

Nothing wrong with a random list of really old people. That was my first ever shadow list in 2011. Centenarians! Three of whom are still alive! Also, if someone picked 20 random old folk on the DDP and they all died, that'd be worthy of praise. The odds against that must be staggeringly high.

Some potted highlights from that Telegraph obit. Quite the fascinating character.

According to poster on Pie and Bovril (yeah, I went to check for details, before Detective Charon asks ), jumped over a wall, into the Kelvin. What fucking wall? If you're coming to it from Dumbarton Road, you couldn't help but notice the fucking river.

Scottish Sun says aye.

Well that's just going to confuse decrepit minds like myself.

"Was it six heart attacks or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself.

That, or its befitting one of the all time world famous legends. You decide.

No, @Zsa Zsa's leg, I think you'll find this one is the longest.

Aye, but both extremes, and should be roundly denounced by everyone.

Shir Shean Shonnery.

Basic arseholery doesn't need its own spot on the political spectrum, plenty of them at both ends. And indeed in the middle.

Then again, some obscurer picks (not unfamous ones) seem to get Daily Mail coverage only after mentioned on here.

I'd thank you, only I dropped him at the very last minute for Alan Aspin, so feck. Hewlett/Skellern/Snuka/Wetton out, Holmlund/Baghdadi/Suisala/Aspin in... wont go down in history as one of the smartest moves in DDP history, really.

Aye, but as they say, if you don't want a name getting out there, don't mention them! Else it's a gift horse, etc.
