Please tell me you know this guy died like 10 years ago!!! 8 years ago. Really? Gosh.....Sorry.

Over four years on and all nine of Banshees Scream's bold predicitions remain obstinately still alive . However General Jaruzelski is in hospital yet again with heart problems and might do well to see 2011, let alone 2012...

I'm in and I've sacked all 14 of my survivors from this year's team due to their woeful lack of dedication to the cause.

Sports journalist Phil Such was diagnosed with motor neurone disease this year. The Daily Mail will be sure to give their man a write up when he goes.

And this is where she hangs out, so to speak. Glad to see the site is doing its best to preserve its models' modesty. Yesterday, Donna Simpson apparently demolished the world's biggest ever Christmas dinner:

Kathryn Crosby was widowed again due to a crash earlier this month. Her second husband was killed in a car accident, in which she also sustained injuries.

Welsh Assembly member Brynle Williams has spoken of his battle with colon cancer and his determination to return to work next year....

Britain's second most famous darts commentator Tony Green, perhaps better known for his appearances on Bullseye, is suffering from cancer of the tongue.

Nat Lofthouse, not dead, but not very alive either by the looks of it... Gotta be a contender for the DL, surely?

This will only appeal to a few, but I did enjoy reading this rambling account of a hapless Sheffield Wednesday supporter's trip to watch his team play Exeter City on Saturday. It was the only game in Leagues 1 and 2 not to be called off due to snow and the Wednesday fans had to battle though appalling weather conditions to make it to St James Park. Many hundreds turned back, but those who arrived in time got to watch one of the most inept teams ever witnessed get battered 5-1 by a rampant Exeter (I speak with authority as I was there ). Some fans didn't make it back to Sheffield until 8am on Sunday.

Avi Cohen, the former Rangers and Liverpool defender, is gravely ill after sustaining a serious head wound in a motorcycle accident.

Erich Priebke on December 29th...

Possibly unrelated, but there was a chap on Radio 4 this morning telling us that if a hamster was thrown out of a plane it would most likely survive. Which leads me to wonder: + + - = ?

Flamenco anyone? One of the leading exponents of the art, Spaniard Enrique Morente is "brain dead" according to his family...

Tom Walkinshaw has died of cancer. He kept that quiet.

Patriarch Maxim of Bulgaria, 96, has been forced to issue a statement confirming that he is still alive, following media reports that he has died, or was gravely ill.

Bernie Madoff's son, Mark Madoff, has committed suicide by hanging.

I don't know if Drew Carey would get a UK obit, but idle gossip abounds on the interweb that he may be suffering from pancreatic and liver cancer...

Try your hand at QWOP athletics.

Not wrong, but illogical since every DDP player with a shout of winning would have had her. The debate would have been whether to make her your joker. But now that's all academic. Had she survived, including her in your team would not have won you the DDP but not including her would have left you needing to make ground on those who did. This is probably the most literal definition of a dead certainty. Good point, I just saw at as easy points to start with, need to work my replacement now...Edrich or Frankin...decisions, decisions... James Moody has inoperable pancreatic cancer and isn't getting chemo for it. He's also be nominated for a Grammy in February, so he should get an obit. Should he lived past December 31st, I'd assume he'd be lock for most people. I am forever in your debt Mr. Guest...unless he doesn't die of course, in which case you'll have to do with my eternal gratitude and disdain. Oh dear.

1940: The Associated Press is reporting that [student] protesters in London have attacked a car carrying the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall. The BBC has not confirmed the report.

Ruthie and Winfield, our two turkeys, have been spared execution on account of their owner (me) being such a softie. No longer to be annointed with the cranberries of wrath, or summat. They're happily gobbling outside as I type.

Rabble rousing American folkie (and lawyer) Anne Feeney is sadly suffering from lung cancer.

Hugues Cuenod has died at the tender age of 108. A hit for three teams on the DDP.
