The heaviest man in the world lives in Ipswich. Paul Mason, 48, is 70 stone and medics are struggling to work out how to get him in to hospital for much needed medical treatment, I'm thinking of snapping him up for the DDP. The Suffolk Wobbler

American spree killer Howard Unruh has died in captivity at the age of 88. During a paranoid episode in 1949, he shot and killed thirteen people in only four minutes. He had been detained at the New Jersey Hospital for the Insane ever since.

Health update. He's just finished his chemotherapy and apparently the next few weeks will be crucial in determining how much cancer remains in his system. So by Christmas he should know if he's escaped by the skin of his teeth, or if he's a gonner. I hope he lets us know.

MPFC, how is Lennie Pidgley getting on for Carlisle? He had a trial with Exeter earlier this year, but he didn't do very well and the rumour is that he was intoxicated for the whole week that he was here.

Grace Kelly - suffered a stroke while at the wheel, drove of mountain, died. Desmond Llewellyn - Head on collision on his way back from a book signing engagement.

And now Wendy Wasserstein's brother, the billionaire investment banker Bruce Wasserstein, has died of heart problems, aged 61.

In a coma?. Someone updated his Wiki page to say that he's dead, but no news sources are reporting it yet. Another death rumour here.

Well, I can update you on his health. He's dead.

Hospitalised with breathing difficulties and "exhaustion" Crack Lung?

Talking of baked beans... I don't often post on this thread, but the psychotic demon woman who attacked me in Tescos late yesterday night truly deserves mention here. After a very long day at work, I stopped off at Tescos, armed with a shopping list Mrs DDT had kindly emailed me five minutes before I was due to finish for the day. I wasn't really looking where I was going as I wandered down an aisle trying to find low salt baked beans (DDT Jnr likes them, won't eat proper ones for some reason. But why is a tin containing half the salt twice the price?). I was in my own little world (not an uncommon experience) when I managed to walk straight in to this psycho woman who was approaching from the opposite direction, obviously not looking where she was going either. I didn't even make physical contact with her, our baskets clashed and that was about it, no injuries were caused no shopping was damaged, it was just one of those things. Even though I might have been only 50% to blame and being a good natured, completely harmless person, I instinctively apologised. Me: "Oh, I'm so sorry." Psycho Woman: Doesn't say anything, just glares at me hatefully Me: "Are you OK?" Psycho Woman: rather loudly "Get out of my way you stupid effing bstard" (at this point I notice she only has two bottles of economy vodka and a loaf of economy white bread in her basket and start to worry a little...) Me: (slightly annoyed, and wondering if she's looking for economy beans to go with her collection) "OK fine, it was as much your fault as mine. There's no need to be nasty to me." Without any further provocation, Psycho Woman then dropped/threw her basket to floor, breaking one of the bottles of vodka in the process, screamed and started physically attacking me; kicking, slapping, spitting, scratching whilst all the time hollering "effing bstard" at the top of her voice. I was really shocked, this has never happened to me before in the UK and I didn't quite know what to do (would I have been allowed to just punch her lights out at that point for my own protection? I had this really difficult heart vs head dilemma going at a very inconvenient moment). Eventually I managed to restrain her with the help of a former work collleague's husband who was mercifully close by and had seen what was going on. Security turned up, the police were called and Psycho Woman was carted off, still screaming, in the back of a van, I would imagine to the nearest mental health facility for evaluation. That's about it really, no real injuries caused apart from a nasty scratch on my face, but I am a bit befuddled by the whole experience and I'd like to put her in Room 101. No doubt I'll manage to forgive her after a few days - hopefully she'll get the help she needs while she's there. I never did find those beans either.

Belgian cyclist Frank Vandenbroucke, has died at the age of 35 after "a succession of drugs problems, rows with teams, suicide attempts and finally being disowned by world cycling. His former wife described him as a cocaine addict"

....Dickie Peterson has died.

I'm not sure he's really famous enough to get a UK obit through. It was Steve Ferguson who had cancer, and it's all over for him. Another poor victim of online serial killer DevonDeathTrip. Not guilty! I suppose Dickie Peterson, lead singer, bassist and founder member of American 60s psychadelic heavy metal pioneers Blue Cheer is probably too obscure as well. Which is a shame as someone has just announced on the band's forum that he has liver cancer.

Even more physically and mentally deficient now.

By doing it online? http://www.online-image-editor.com/

[sorry Windsor, I thought this was the picture association thread ]

Avid fisherman and 14th President of the USA, Franklin Pierce, died of liver failure, after years of heavy drinking on this day in 1869. Pierce was arrested while in office for running over an old woman with his horse, but his case was dropped due to insufficient evidence. His wife Jane Appleton, a highly strung religious fanatic, is believed to have gone insane during his period in office and was kept well away from the public.

Reports that his cancer has returned and he might not have long to live. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/267986-...ay-be-gone-soon Another report that his cancer hasn't returned and he's not dying. http://www.wrestlezone.com/news/article/ru...-returned-87323

The geologist Dr William Stanton, 79, has been arrested for murder after his wife died in a bungled suicide pact. There's a pretty good chance he'll take care of unfinished business, but even if he doesn't, the terminal bone cancer will do for him.

She's Twittered that she is going to have heart surgery.

Well done Ethnic Cleansing, top work. I wonder if he read the brain tumour report on DL last year? I do think that leaving a suicide note on Facebook is a tiny bit...tacky. [Mods, I reckon McGee deserves his own thread]

Rev Dr Fred Kaan, "one of the great hymnwriters of the twentieth century", has written his last dirge. The Death of Kaan

I wonder what it's like, looking through Gerry Gilmore's eyes?

Fatima Senussi, the last Queen of Libya, has died in exile in Cairo, aged 98.

Why are you lot so charming ?? I've never really thought about it but guesty accepts your compliments on behalf of the DL community. Whilst we are asking such searching questions, tell me, why are you so lame at poetry? I think you are a guest in disguise I think you mean "member" in disguise. When SC berated the "quantity" of posts culture, he was obviously looking towards the quality of posting being far more important. So here you are, since 2004, posted a piffling amount, the ideal candidate for SC and his new Aryan race. Problem is, your posts make Hughie Greens shiteometer go off the scale. This pretty much f'ucks the relevence of quantity posting, in relation to quality posting, firmly up the arse. Well done!! Not wishing to put words in Yvonne's mouth, but perhaps she thought that Canadian Paul actually thinks that old people smell of piss, rather than just mentioning a DDP team name. Whilst often accurate, you could argue that it is not exactly a charming thing to say. I had a boy in my class who smelt of piss, but to say that neglected children smell of piss, isn't particularly charming either. I like Yvonne and her pleasantly barking missives. She should stick around, ignore the keyboard warriors and post more often.
