Done with life...at the ripe old age of 96.

Oh, how dreadful. I remember him at Luton - pretty steady keeper in the lower leagues. Mark Ovendale died this morning.

Warren Jeffs is suffering from an undisclosed ailment and has been hospitalised. Warren Jeffs is reported to have slipped in to a coma, a mere three days in to a hunger strike .

Spirtual leader Kirtanananda Swami, aka Swami Bhaktipada, perhaps one of the West's most prominent Hare Krishna devotees, is suffering from serious health problems.

September 24th 2011.

Dead

Steve Jobs has resigned as Apple's CEO.

Mark Ovendale, 37, former Northampton, Luton, York and Bournemouth goalkeeper, has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. There is nothing more doctors can do for him and he is now in hospice care.

It appears Bert had, and hopefully beat, lung cancer last year. Sadly, it doesn't look like Bert Jansch has beaten his cancer yet...

Not looking good....

The actor Noel Collins, who played Sergeant George Parrish in Juliet Bravo, has died after a fifteen year battle with lung cancer. After his diagnosis, he was one of a group of claimants who unsuccessfully attempted to sue tobacco companies for not reducing the tar content in their cigarettes.

"Martin", a stroke victim who no longer wants to live, is in the news at the moment for launching a legal bid, asking for the right to die. Even if the courts do not find in his favour, he might do a Chantal Sébire

Jimmy Sangser has died. As well as the gems listed above, he also gave us TV shows like Wonder Woman and The Six Million Dollar Man.

It isn't often that a Native American Indian gets to feature on this these pages, but the activist and actor Russell Means may well get a UK obituary before very long, following his recent diagnosis of esophageal cancer.

I'll leave it up to any Welshmen on this forum to decide if they are insulted or deeply gratified to be considered "foreign" by you Poms. Meanwhile, Sif Ruud has rudely departed at the age of 95. She was the star of a number of Ingmar Bergman films including It Rains on Our Love, Wild Strawberries and The Magician, so this is a big loss for the world of non-English language cinema: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sif_Ruud Pobol y Cwm is performed in Welsh ... that makes it foreign. I did look for the Eminent Welshmen thread, but there isn't one. Never say I don't do anything around the house. Deathlisters might also like to use the Talk Like A Taff and The Welsh Film Industry threads as points of reference.

Kenneth Kaunda, 87, the first President of Zambia from 1964-1991, has been hospitalised for a week in Namibia, after he was taken ill whilst penning his memoirs.

John Cleese?

I see that Lauren Bush, great niece of George H.W. Bush, is to be betrothed to Ralph Lauren's son, David. That will make her married name Lauren Lauren.

I'm seriously tempted to bet on Exeter playing Liverpool in the Championship next season. Very reasonable odds at 294/1. Exeter have just drawn Liverpool at home in the 2nd round of the Carling Cup.

Yes, did you see this? http://www.abc.net.au/news/2011-08-04/afl-...kennett/2824594 Here is the latest: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2011-08-05/styn...ecovery/2826628 Sounds really bad for Stynes. Yes I did read it, not looking good for him at all. As far as "tanking" is concerned, I struggle to understand why a club (in any sport) would intentionally loose in order to pick up the top draft picks for the year. Then come back the following season, and the one after that and the one after that, and perform just as badly as they did before - a waste of young talented players. Number one pick should go to number nine on the ladder. Doesn't look like the latest round of surgery went very well.

P G Wodehouse?

Probably best posted in the ideas and possibilities thread? I'm trying to post a bit less in that thread. I was worried people might think I was a wierdo.

Jon Lord, keyboardist and founding member of Deep Purple, has announced he is suffering from cancer.

You're probably right, but... I can't see the problem with useless speculation myself. That's what this site is all about. Twitter searching "Peter Tork"... apparently he played a gig 18 hours ago? Maybe Mickey Dolenz is dying instead? Could be. This site is uselessly speculating that the tour was cancelled as they all hate each other.
