Panic over, he wasn't abusing children he was "teaching them English". Possibly one of the worst excuses in modern times.

The Vegan Society founder Donald Watson has died aged 95.

They could still shoot him: ""Obscene acts with a child" can lead to 12 years imprisonment while child rape carries the maximum penalty of death before a firing squad. A police officer in Vung Tua said: "Having sex with a 12-year-old girl, regardless of whether he had her consent, is still considered child rape under Vietnamese law."

Sir, that's no way to talk to a decorated war veteran! I'm not gay - I fathered two children by my Vietnamese partner, Lon Suk.

I could tell some stories about the time I was in 'Nam.

His cancer levels have increased - it might spread to the lungs and pancreas!!

Have a great time - Motorhead was the best live gig I ever went to, followed by the worst cider and heavy metal hangover ever.

It's amazing what a bit of rioting in the suburbs can do for someone's health and state of mind.

Jean Marie Le Pen, the infamous French Fascist is 77, looks overweight and generally unhealthy. One to keep an eye on. There is also the outside chance he might get shot by somone he has offended.

A doddery old woman!? How dare you sir! I'll have you know I'm a Vietnam Vetran. I was awarded the Purple Heart and the Silver Spleen.

Talking of titled photographers ....Lord Snowdon must be getting on a bit now....

According to the news he had a massive heart attack at the weekend - so I couldn't have seen him in Sainsburys on Monday. It must have been the Monday before.

Are you Santa? That information is classified, I'm afraid.

Any Deathlisters working on Christmas Day? I am

Last Tango In Paris

Working on the Meat counter was he? No - perusing the wines aisle if my memory serves correct.

I am rather shocked to read about the death of Ted Wragg - I saw him in Sainsburys in Exeter on Monday and he was looking fine. A sad loss.

I wonder what happened to Poppet - I enjoyed our frank exchange of views about Mr Doherty. Perhaps she has seen the light and turned in to a Motorhead groupie...

I'm afraid to say that I haven't got a clue what any of you are talking about. Should I print this thread out and bring it to my IT evening class tonight?

They keep giving me flashbacks to the time I was in 'Nam.

The more I research this , the more sure I am that Nick will be a gonner in 2006.

They didn't look after this foreigner very well: German national Gerhard Eugen Nershz died on 17 March. The authorities said he had died of "cerebral malaria with complications". He was transported to hospital from the prison some hours before his death and people who saw him reported that he appeared to have severe injuries caused by torture on his hands and feet He was arrested at the same time as Du Toit.

He might be suicidal, after all he has lost two jobs, two mistresses and one child that he thought was his in the last year. Fact for the day: David Blunkett's father died after falling in to a vat of boiling water.

Er, King Fahd's passing must have escaped my attention. As for Prince Philip, he might be in very good health but he is in his 80s and still goes carriage racing, a lethal combination in my opinion.

My choices for 2006 - well half of them anyway: 1) George Best 2) Fernanc Puskas 3) Prince Philip 4) George W Bush 5) Liz Taylor 6) Mohammed Zahir Shah - former king of Afghanistan 7) Dennis Norden 8) Boris Yeltsin 9) Saddam Hussain 10) Nick du Toit 11) King: Taufa'ahau Tupou IV 12) Whitney Houston 13) Zsa Zsa Gabor 14) Abu Musab al-Zarqawi 15) James Molyneaux 16) Jeremy Thorpe 17) Ronnie Biggs 18) Jerry Lee Lewis - the singer, not Jerry Lewis the comedian 19) Tom Finney 20) Albert Hoffman 21) Alan Whicker 22) Stephen Hawking 23) Piara Khabra, MP 24) King Fahd of Saudi Arabia 25)"Mad" Frankie Fraser
