He’ll be dropped and then keel over mere hours into the new year, just wait

There are quite a few hacks out there not much longer for this world, many still writing regularly. Sir Peregrine Worsthorne (b. 1923) former editor of the Sunday Telegraph, still contributes the odd column here and there to various publications I believe. US film critic Roger Ebert (b. 1942) famed for his thumbs/up down criteria along with the late Gene Siskel, has had extensive treatment for thyroid cancer over the past few years including large sections of his jaw removed can now no longer speak as a result, though he continues to write regular film reviews and is a prolific Tweeter. Has said he will not undergo any further treatment if the cancer comes back, definitely one to bear in mind for the 2012 list I reckon. Plenty of potential for puns too - "Ebert Gets Two Thumbs Down" "Last Picture Show For Ebert" "Movie Fades to Black" "Roger, Over and Out" or how about "Hopefully Not A Thumbs Down at The Pearly Gates" deserving of his own thread really. Derek Jameson (b. 1929), former Mirror editor went on to become Radio 2 DJ and prolific TV presenter and personality, spotted recently on BBC2's The Young Ones (no, not that one). That's just for starters really, must be many others I haven't thought of, what do people think?

Gone for Desmond Morris, in the last few minutes of NYE

Had my hopes up for a moment there. What a shit year it’s been

I remember the welly one, I was scared of going on escalators for years after

Looks like a sort of variant of our own Charley Says

Tend to be either terribly middle class twats who consider them edgy and authentic, or scally gobshites

Anyone else think Oasis are the most overrated bunch of posers ever?? Basically a glorified Beatles tribute act who reckon they’re hot shit

Assuming ice cream is permitted by her dietary regimen

that’s because he’s the best there is, the best there was…

He's 98 now, reportedly stepped down from running his restaurant last year due to ill health…

I did quite like House of Gucci and All The Money In The World

well why quit if you still enjoy something?

What you reckon Keir is gonna stand up for everyone’s civil liberties?? You may be in for a rude awakening

If Starmers wants to unveil draconian laws against protesting and posting on social media then these Neanderthal cretins activities over the past week have made it a lot easier for him…

Gone for Esther, might not be her but that’s life

In his current condition he’s probably more electable than Biden, who’s campaign is starting to resemble Weekend At Bernie’s

Worst. Year. Ever

“I’m nearly dead, please don’t fuck it up”

Saw him last Friday, he complained about going blind and deaf but didn’t seem to be anything wrong with him. Had the same Dickensian look as the previous 4 times I’ve seen him

I remember attending a show at Stockport town hall where he was on the bill; I was sat in the front row and at one point he rolled out of the ring right in front of me! Course there were no barricades in those days

Whale to be beached

Gone for a Jimmy

Guess someone started the partying early huh?
