I've gone for Gabor. Though I get the feeling when she actually does go, it'll take folk off-guard. They always seem immortal, until they aren't.

Kirstie Alley no doubt says cheers to this vote of confidence, as it ensures she will live for another decade or two.

Does the £3 deal not tempt you to join and vote for him? No. "Real life reasons". I am looking forward to Kendall finishing in a miserable 4th place though.

I think Sleepy Andy Burnham is going to sneak through on second preferences. I have no vote in the matter, if I did, I'd vote for Corbyn.

It's a slower version of motor neurone. c 10% survival rate after 10 years (he's had it for three years, I think), so he could have a few years left yet, though the clock is ticking.

I guess it's full-blown AIDS. He's probably riddled with it. Boo, another one gone. Ann Rule, UK obit chances, anyone? Quite good, I'd say.

Update on a former Deathlist pick: to be given the death penalty.

Really? I know quite a few people who have died in the last 10 years, and there are numerous other posters who have mentioned their own bereavements. Think your comment is the odd one. I've been to 5 funerals in the past 10 years, plus know of relatives of friends who have passed away but I wasn't able to attend due to having to travel great distances. I'm guessing it's an age-dependent comment. I was to maybe 7 funerals ever before I was 35, but now relatives and parents of good friends or old neighbours are all on the fringe of life. It's a pleasant surprise after 40 if you don't attend an annual funeral. Shit, the pub I go to regularly the past 8 years has buried at least 4 people I can think of. But yes suggesting even at a young age that you go more than a decade without someone close dying is obtuse. SC Just going off the last decade, I can think of ten relatives (most of old age bar my uncle), 2 in-laws (old age), and two pals of ours (old age, lung cancer) who have died. Comes with the territory of having a large family and wide age gaps in social circles.

Hopefully this'll be a launchpad for more direct action. I don't even smoke weed and I want it legalised. I want more research done into it, and for it to be treated as a prescription med. Therefore, both the "keep it illegal" and "legalise it" crowds both hate me!

Petitions and stuff are, like, so the objects of oppression by The Man, man. I'd assume. Though given I did once know a drug smoking hippy who told people to vote Tory as... Tory government would bring in the day of revolution faster, perhaps I'm crediting them with too much intelligence.

Losing 7 by-elections in one parliament would put him in John Major territory, and suggest a substantial swing away from the Tories at the next election anyhow.

Truman. Because his grandfathers were called Samuel and something else with S, so they both thought he was named after them.

I liked the days when that was all anyone remembered about IDS. "The quiet man is here to stay and he's turning up the volume!" BBC News showed that bit on a loop, and it was the first time I ever thought I'd seen a career die before my eyes. If only... Its far too soon to say Labour wont win the next election. I mean, I don't think they will, but 5 years is an eternity away. Five years ago, Leslie Nielsen was still alive! Besides, there's that EU referendum coming up, and if Scotland has told me anything, its that big passion subject referendums explode in ways no one expects, and the long term parties can be burned from them. So who knows? We might have 3 right wing parties where one Tory party was, or Labour could splinter, or UKIP and the Greens and Labour could merge to form Syriza II.

I can't mind if you'd seen this one, but The Globe ran with Alan Alda's "sad last days" the other week, based on a photo of him looking 79 years old. Last decades, if you asked me.

There is a current Tory who was under suspicion, but the police say there isn't enough to charge him, last I heard. So naming him would have McAlpine like consequences. (And the chap is very, very libel keen...) The Labour chap that jumped to mind, I'd heard there was some skeletons in the cupboard, but they could be financial for all we know, and again, hes fond of suing folk. And vain enough to google his own name and find this page. It's not Skinner or Corbyn though.

Sorry to hear about your loss.

The guilty man was a minister, right. so Skinner and one or two of the names nobody has heard are in the clear. Field, Meacher, Vaz all had prominent ministerial appointments at one time or another. Vaz is so santimonious and clear on what others are doing wrong when he presides over his committees that I'm not sure he's a prime candidate (though it's be a spectacular fall if it was him.) Corbyn surely wouldn't dare stand for leader with such a skeleton waiting in the closet. One of Rover's names does jump out immediately, I'll say that much. Not sure his seat is that close to Rochdale though.

Former rugby international, English reverend and academic historian Owen Chadwick, aged 98.

He'll get the BBC Breaking News twitter when he dies for his work on the Indiana Jones trilogy, the Bond connection and the Italian Job. However, his work on Dead of Night, Kind Hearts and Coronets and The Titfield Thunderbolt earlier in his career showed great style in his eye for the aesthetic shot. All of the films above would have been lesser without him. Incidentally, if you've never heard of any of those latter films (pre-empting here), I recommend them. Dead of Night is a pre-Hammer era horror portmanteau, featuring a killer dummy, a remarkably faithful adaptation of E.F. Benson, and random comedy. Kind Hearts has Alec Guinness in about a dozen roles, and the Thunderbolt is about trying to save a train, before Beeching had even started his massacre.

Edward VIII was a twat. It was a great source of luck, getting him to abdicate. This is a bit of a non-story, anyhow. I mean, the English football team were ordered to give the Nazi salute in their friendly with Germany in 1936, which was well after we kind of get the hint Hitler wasn't exactly Jimmy Savi Rolf Har Bill Cos err, Tony Hart/Mr Rogers. And they didn't have the benefit of being seven years old. And the Queen Mum was always a bit right wing, but she got forgiven due to her status as a first class alcoholic.

One day I'd like them to report on someone's Happy Last Days. "(Slightly Forgotten 80s celebrity) has found out he has months to live, we can exclusively report. In his happy last days, he plans to drink lots, sleep around, and hold lots of hedonistic parties. "I plan to go out with a bang", said the much loved celebrity, aged (a good age for DDP lists), "Literally if I can help it!" (Slight Forgotten Celebrity) invites all to his Monster Truck Deathmatch Rally this weekend and reminds folk it is BYOC: Bring your own crocodile."

No English obits yet, but heard that Ghiggia will now torment Brazilian World Cup hopes on the other side. Legend.

Pooley will get an obit. Who/Trek supporting actor's deaths tend to hit the fan networks well ahead of the papers, and he did only die two days ago.

It's like rain on your wedding day.

Adlai Stevenson was once giving a speech on the campaign trail, and after it, a man in the audience leant forward and shouted: "You'll have the vote of every right thinking man in the country, Adlai!" Quick as a flash, Stevenson replied "Thanks, but I need a majority to win."
