    The Dead Of 2009

    Multiple killer John Linley Frazier has hanged himself in his prison cell, after nearly forty years behind bars. He murdered a household of five people in Santa Cruz, California at the same time that the trial of the Manson family members was taking place, leaving a note at the scene of his crime with "Manson-esque overtones".

    Interesting Ways To Die...

    A New Jersey man, enjoying a quiet evening under the influence of PCP, has died of head injuries after diving through a first floor window, seemingly having failed to take note of the metal bars on the other side of the glass. Look Before You Leap.

    Do you have examples? Links maybe? Something that proofs your interesting thesis? Is my word not enough for you? http://www.nitrateville.com/viewtopic.php?t=4181 People on that thread, as well as Robert Young who contacted the family, are calling bullshit on this one... Thomas! Fill in the blanks: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with ___, and the Word was ___. Squid?

    The Dead Of 2009

    Pilot and inventor Mike Dacre may have had time to identify one or two safety flaws in his new creation - a "Jet Taxi" - after taking it for a test flight in Malaysia yesterday, shortly before crashing and burning to death.

    Patrick Swayze

    You are correct. Patrick Swayze Using Marijuana in Cancer Battle So he isn't putting on weight because he's getting better, he's just got the munchies. I'm sure I remember reading somwhere that when Art Buchwald was dying of kidney failure and only had a few days left to live, he asked his nurses if they could go out and get some crack cocaine for him to try, but they declined to assist him.

    Bob Dylan is taken away police officers, responding to reports of an "old scruffy man who was acting suspiciously". Like a complete unknown...

    Dead Drummers

    The prognosis doesn't look very good for Allen Schellenberger. I so nearly picked him for my DDP team, but changed my mind at the last minute because I wasn't conviced he'd get the right obituary. I think I replaced him with Alex Higgins.

Charles Sabine, a former NBC war reporter who is suffering from Huntingdon's Disease, has told The Guardian "I Will Die The Most Horrible Death".

    Fings Aint Wot They Used To Be..

    It's still there NAP, it became Bar Oz in the '90s and now it's Coopers, named after the grocery store it used to be when I was a kid. I think the Coopers name is still embedded into the pavement outside on a brass plaque. As far as I know the original deco is still in place. Wasn't it across the road from Clatty Pat's? I used to eat at Chimmy's too and I recall the opening night of Bar Oz, which was opened by a former neighbours actress, not Kylie Minogue, not Natalie Imbruglia, not Holly Valance, the one with the blonde bob, pert bosom and pouty lips; I forget her name, who made a brief appearance to much wolf-whistling from the assembled Glasgow Uni freshers and west-end hipperati. (Emma Harrison Had to google it, it was bugging me.) Cleopatra's (clatty pats) is the only bar I've ever been thrown out of. It was a regular haunt of the One Devonshire Gardens staff when we couldn't be bothered to go to The Tunnel or The Arches (or, in my case, the Sub Club cos I was a trance music junkie back in the day). I got thrown out of there for sparking up a reefer. If I'd bottled someone or break-danced in a pool of my own vomit (about the only feasible lubricant on a dancefloor that sticky), they probably would have given me a free pint but no... When my gf of the time moved to london, I used to send her flowers every week from the grocers/flowers shop on the same side as Chimmy's, down towards the bridge. I forget the name of the place, but I imagine they're still doing a good trade. I loved the smell of that place. Until the bitch dumped me. Arum lillies don't come cheap when you're a student, but thankfully relationships do. Well, sort of. Sometimes. Occasionally. What's that in my hand? Two Aces? You get my drift. I have happy memories of Chimmy Chungas from my time in Glasgow. I wonder if I was ever in there at the same time as Star Crossed? Did you ever go for a quiet evening out at the Art School, SC? I think I went to Chimmy's on one of my very first nights out in Scotland and can still remember by glee turning to disappointment when I thought I had been massively overchanged at the bar, only to return to my seat and find out that £1 notes still existed north of the border...

    Old Folkies Home

    Hmmmm, bang on the borderline of obit-worthy UK I reckon. CPDP might be a different matter, how big is Bluegrass in Canada? Mike got the BBC treatment. How about replacing him with Tim Hart, founder member of Steeleye Span, who is suffering from inoperable lung cancer? The article is from May, so he might have already died, but if he has, he's done it very quietly.

    Deathlist 2011

    You said that back in 2007, which is why we put her in our 2008 team *twiddles thumbs* I think you must be mistaking me for someone else and may therefore be twiddling in my direction unnecessarily. Apart from the post above, I'm not sure I've ever mentioned Eunice Kennedy.

    Ideas and Possibilities for 2010

    Croatian Prime Minister Ivo Sanader resigned just over a month ago, refusing to explain why, but stating the decision had nothing to do with his health. He is now in hospital in a serious condition suffering from pneumonia. There was speculation about his health last year when he suddenly cancelled an appearance with no explantion.

    Animal Antics

    Tophill Joe, Britain's most expensive sheep, has dropped dead aged six. He fathered "thousands of lambs" in his short and probably very happy life.
