Ah, nice one. Horsemen not allowed though. I totally forgot about the obvious one - Horses by Patti Smith. I could do with a few more though....

Probably the wrong thread, but anyway... I need some help here. I'm trying to make the longest possible compilation album of songs that have "horse" or "horses" in their title. Here's what I've come up with so far: Judy And The Dream Of Horses - Belle and Sebastian Horses Under Starlight - Manic Street Preachers Wild Horses - The Sundays (one of many bands to covered the song) A Horse In The Country - Cowboy Junkies Horse Latitudes - The Doors Ride A White Horse - Goldfrapp Horse Opera - House of Jazz Black Horse And The Cherry Tree - KT Tunstall Horse With No Name - America Goodbye Horses - Q Lazzarus and Garvey If anyone could come up with more songs of this nature, I'd be most grateful. Perhaps you could search for "horse" in your iTunes library? This is important for reasons I cannot begin to explain.

Sky News are quoting the mayor stating that he only received a few cuts to his face and was released immediately after.... You're right, it doesn't look too serious I'm sure all of the details will emerge soon. For what it's worth (nothing), I reckon he was having a blazing domestic row at 2.30am over his alleged extramarital activities before he got fed up and left the address in his fancy car, reversing with unnecessary haste because of his fraught state of mind, losing control and going backwards in to an obstacle, which resulted in his head being flung forward into the windscreen. If he was in such a rush, he might not have put his seatbelt on.

His Tremendousness Giorgio I, the prince of the self-proclaimed principality of Seborga.

Ronnie James Dio has "early stage" stomach cancer. That's not a good cancer to have, early diagnosis or not. He's probably got less than a 50% chance of surviving the next six months.

A little snippet here says Johnny Hallyday was also treated for colon cancer earlier this year.

Dammit Mary, I was hoping to keep that one to myself. The elderly author I'm keeping to myself is Dora Jessie Saint, 96, who wrote cosy stories of village life under the pen name of Miss Read.

Patriarch Maxim of Bulgaria, 95, looking resplendent in his bling last weekend: He looks fairly healthy, but I wonder if he is actually alive at all. He looks a bit like a great big puppet, so heavy that two men are required to control him.

I think that Myra Hindley's mother, Hettie Moulton may still be alive as well. She certainly outlived her daughter as she was in the papers at the time for refusing to go to her funeral, but she might have died since. I'm really not sure if the elderly parents of serial killers would attract much in the way of obituaries. Also, Windsor, I remember you asking if John Tyndall's father in law Charles Parker is still alive. I still don't know, but rest assured your question has gone to someone at Searchlight Magazine to do some research (I didn't tell him why I wanted to know ) , I'll hopefully come back to you soon with an answer!

I'm not sure that makes him famous enough for a UK obit, but anyway he's suffering from terminal lung cancer. I like it how the article describes him as an "Unknown Legend". Deffo likely to get coverage fit for CPDP theme team points, but how do I theme him with 'Ten of the Oldest Bastards Alive' I'm seriously thinking of picking Johnny Almond for the DDP, but I just can't decide if he's famous enough or not. Can anyone help me? Now I've posted this, he'll probably be dead within 48 hours.

Paul and Rachel Chandler, the British couple held hostage in Somalia, fear for their lives. I doubt that they'll be executed imminently , but if the British stick to their policy of refusing to pay ransoms and the weeks and months go by, Mr and Mrs Chandler's situation might not have a happy ending. Lots of DDP points if the gamble paid off...

MPFC - ref Ivor Powell. He comes to watch Exeter City play quite often. When our manager (Sir) Paul Tisdale was at Team Bath, Ivor was his assistant and he is rumoured to have declined the offer to come along to Exeter, preferring to stay put. Although he is always offered a seat in the directors box when he comes to Exeter, he often watches matches stood on the terraces and is more than willing to chat to anyone who wants a word with him. I think he took part in a charity penalty shoot out at half time a couple of seasons ago and scored. I really like him - he's a bit like an much older, much shorter, Welsh version of Alex Ferguson.

Jeanne-Claude, who collaborated with her husband Christo in producing many works of massive scale art, has died of a brain aneurysm. Also, English artist John Craxton has daubed his last surreal splattering. His work was described thus: (I like the way an artist's speciality is often explained, the words are almost as bollocksy as how a wine critic describes a glass of sour fermented grape juice)

Actor Johnny Delgado has died of cancer. Points on the DDP for We Spin Terror, if the English press should acknowledge the fate of this fallen Filipino thespian.

Pierre Harmel got a brief mention in yesterday's Daily Telegraph, which should be enough to get FH Reverends some points on the DDP.

Diminutive heavy metal singer Ronnie James Dio is hospital for unspecified reasons. Whatever might be wrong with him, it was enough to get his upcoming European tour cancelled and the dates will not be re-scheduled...

I never knew that there were any Chinese veterans of the D Day campaign, but apparently they sent along 24 naval officers to help the British. The last survivor, Huang Tingxin, has just died at the age of 91.

Good luck in your quest to get to the top of the pile Banshees. It's quite a view from up there, I can tell you.. As I sure Football Fan can also vouch, winning the DDP is a life changing experience. The fame, the kudos and the glory, the invites to celebrity events, the trophy to adorn your mantelpiece (do you have mantelpieces in New York?), fine wines, marriage proposals, career prospects enhanced by having "DDP Winner" on your CV, press interviews...the list goes on. Are you sure you're ready for the riches this prestigious prize could bring you? Do you think you're going to win then? Lots of teams breathing down your neck - hopefully Abu Ayyub al-Masri won't piss on your bonfire by committing suicide on Christmas Day.

Cardinal Varkey Vithayathil, the current head - known as the Major Archbishop - of the Syro-Malabar Catholic Church is critically ill with heart problems.

Ken Ober - MTV Host. Reported dead, then alive, then dead again.

I've found some nice wicker coffins for the wicker man. www.wickerwillowcoffins.co.uk

Not looking good for Dennis Hopper. He needs his own thread (hopefully a mod will merge all the posts here) and he should be seriously considered for the DL 2010. I think he'll be doing very well to see 2011.

Roger "The Hat" Manifold, who was the chief roadie for Pink Floyd during their seventies tours, has died. He provided various comments and some manic laughter which can be heard on Dark Side of the Moon.

DeathList incurs the wrath of the Vauxhall Owners Network: What a load of sick bastards

Scottish ex footballer George McGeachie, who played for Dundee for 13 years, is suffering from bowel cancer.
