I shall be aiming for a somewhat more famous clientele for YW's poker tournament. However, point stands. This dude is now former Everest mountaineer with cancer, rather than dude with cancer.

Sort of disqualifying himself from the Only Famous for Dying club with behaviour like that!

Only three parties have sent us post: Labour, SNP and UKIP. Liberals got crushed last time out, probably focusing on more winnable seats, say, Milngavie and Bearsden area. -
Thank you for bringing these new, never before seen names to our attention.

Philip Gould died aged 60 of cancer too - the Blair associate. Stephen Gould the scientist died aged 50-ish, can't mind if it were cancer.

Freddie Jones is still going at near 90 as we've mentioned before, but apparently so is Sheila Steafel (born 1935).

Nice comeback by DI - I hope Lyndon LaRouche has his will in order then!

Did a double take at that typo for a second, tbh! -
There's also a few actors who might fit in there but DOBs are unknown. ie John Rolfe from The Moonbase.

Knew it was an error to get Morricone to score the news reports... -
Helen Dunmore dead according to Twitter. Gcreptile pick. Had been shortlisted for 2018 here a few months back, but so it goes.

Well, it is a kids show, Handrejka, so depends when you first saw it? Also, not everyone need like the same stuff. I hear some poor souls don't like Dr Who...

SEE YA, CLEGGY! 11/50 5th June 2017 Actor Peter Sallis has died aged 96, to give The Crowdsourced Deathlist another success. Sallis was perhaps best known to TV audiences for his role as world weary philosopher Norman Clegg in the BBC smash sitcom Last of the Summer Wine. As the straight man to the comedy hi-jinks of the late Bill Owen and Brian Wilde (and others), Sallis was the only constant to appear in every single episode of the sitcom, over a period of 40 years. He had made a name for himself in the 1950s and 1960s playing Norman Clegg like parts (notably in the Doctor Who story The Ice Warriors, introducing the eponymous monsters), so it was perhaps no surprise that he was seen as the best man for the job. Especially when he showed up at the audition wearing the perfect Norman Clegg outfit, which he'd picked out of his own wardrobe. He also frequently had to stop fights between co-stars Owen and Wilde, despite the fact that Sallis himself would rather avoid conflict and just have a nice cup of hot chocolate instead: a world philosophy this host can agree with. Outside Holmfirth, Sallis obtained a whole new younger worldwide generation of fans as the voice of Wallace from the Wallace and Gromit cartoon series. Sallis was appearing in 4th place on the list, and is the 11th hit in only the first half of 2017.

Ah, damn. Expected given age/etc, but damn anyway.

300 votes between SNP and Tory, actually, Lib Dems distant 3rd. Get the impression you're mixing it up with another former Lib Dem Scottish seat - East Dunbartonshire, perhaps? Bit late in the day now, I know, was just curious.

Scottish football International football African football Honduran footballers of the 1960s Football people Brian Glanville didn't get on with Just for YW! Nah, I shall come up with something if the need arises, fairly quickly.

50s I'm guessing - given he was traveling to Scotland a few years back. Can't mind if that was for work. Hmm. Any of those Scottish posters suddenly post more since MH went? I don't mean me, before any cheeky sods reply.

Fatty Arbuckle was innocent, though. Err, not to imply Kirk isn't. I haven't a clue about him. But Arbuckle was definitely smeared upon. Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh though, are both safely long dead, so it's entirely fine to mention that she accused him of impropriety.

Totally stealing that line at some point.

I'm more shocked that Berwickshire is, probably, one of the most likely SNP seats to go Tory, and Shaun's given it to the Liberals!

It's not unclear. He saw it.

Urinary tract infection, apparently. Unlikely to be fatal, I'd imagine!
