Dead Wait

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/34560155 Former Everton manager Howard Kendall dies, aged 69

Apparently he had a drug overdose. Huge oversight not to include him on my Reality Show DDP theme team this year. Let's hope he has it in him to last a few months. Made my points this year in similar fashion from Jules Bianchi....

Martin Crowe AND Gossip Gabe on the same day, this is crazy.......

To think that we've all been waiting for Helen Fawkes!!

........before she realises she has no hope of winning!

92th?

I really hope the 12th hit follows soon - not sure how long I can put up with those eyebrows on the homepage.....

Have gone with Kissinger.....

I can confirm that it will definitely be his last 91st birthday!

Wow!! Crazy to think that 3 quarters of the way into the year we've only lost THREE from the Drop Forty!

You seem to have just turned his HIV status into full blown AIDS!!

Oh yes, of course he will - NEWSFLASH: man in his 90's with agressive cancer has died!

This is brand new information, thanks!

When was Yogi Bear in the Flintstones?

On that basis, Warren Mitchell would fit the bill, he's British and has looked ancient since the sixties. Yet somehow he doesn't seem worthy. It's a difficult one as I think DL benefited in a strange sort of way from worshipping at the totem-pole of the omnipresent deity that was Clive Dunn, but, as you say, he is just irreplaceable. I think a lot of Dunn's legendary status is down to the perception of time. Those of us who grew up in the seventies and eighties would have sat through episodes and episoses of Dad's Army understanding that the programme had been running forever (before one was born) and because it represented the war (which in 1975 was closer then than the Falklands war is now) pushed it further back in time in our minds. We would also recognise Dunn from kids TV and again assume the distance between the two was longer and then 20 years later when we start deadpooling and the guy is still alive it is a miracle. I agree Mitchell is a possibility but I think the closest is probably Peter Sallis who spent 40 years playing a retired man in LOTSW. As well as delighting everyone as the voice of Wallace. I just had a brainwave: what about Gudrun Ure?Brilliant! Having known her as Supergran when growing up I was surprised to find out when googling a few years ago that a) she was still alive and wasn't as old as most seemed to think.

Looks like he has COPD with the breathing......

Add me in for 8th November - although with him on my current list anything that ends with 2015 suits me....

Or how about "Bought the peanut farm"

Even you won't make it September 31st! He has edited the original post and made you look foolish.... I for one hope that he doesn't make the starting line given that I have him on my current list. Sad news though......

September 16th

Have you been on the moon? Actually, even there they know this - he visited it with Gromit once for some cheese...... not the moon just my own little world. Okay............try Google.........great tool for you to use.........

First Smiler death this year following the two lost limbs......
