http://www.globalpost.com/dispatch/news/politics/world-leaders/140310/insult-world-leader-crime-punishment Dutch law also bans insulting foreign heads of state, provided the Dutch are not at war with the state whose head it is. I don't recall recent convictions, but in the 1930s several communists got locked up for calling Hitler names. regards, Hein So if you were to post on this site that QEII was a rat eating alien who always looked like she was producing a very big turd (for example). The Dutch authorities could be down on you like a ton of bricks.

I went home and told my daughter that both Paul and Ringo had died.

I would be happier if Nancy were decidedly cooler.

Before we spend too much time celebrating his positive acheivements such as The Avengers and The Professionals I think it is only right that we point out he wrote the screenplay for Highlander II

Authors Last A Long Time, But....

First hit for my DDP team Gene Kemp who won the Carnegie Medal for The Turbulent Term of Tyke Tyler. Still waiting for a national obit though. -
It's my constituency she's standing in, which is a Conservative/Labour swing seat. There'd be no by-election as the Lib Dems won't get a look in. There is something to be careful of though and it happened in 2005 I think. Once the election is callled and the candidates nominations have closed if any candidate dies during the campaign the whole thing has to be called off and a writ moved for a new election at a later date. Which will mean one constituency will be without an MP when the results are declared. It didn't make too much difference previously as Labour had a big majority but with a hung parliament in the offing it could be crucial. It happened in South Staffordshire in 2005 the MP in Question was Patrick Cormack

Ron Moody is 91 today. Might be worth considering in the next couple of years. Married to a much younger woman and has six children under 30. No health information though.

Cavan Club owner Ralph McFall has died

I can't decide. Douglas seems to have a determination to cling to life and Kirkorian is so reclusive there is no reliable evidence one way or the other.

If he sneezed, would it be appropriate to say Bless You?

Possibly best known as old Bert, the narrator on The Village. He will be sadly missed I know him him best as Ted Bishop from (The Return of) Shelley, which reminds me is there any news on Hywel Bennet's health. I saw this on the BBC website and it bugged me as I knew the name but couldn't place him then I took out my Blake's 7 programme guide and was right he played Selman in Cygnus Alpha (1.03) who was one of the fellow convicts on the London but who didn't make it onto the Liberator. I also have a suspicion I have seem him at the RSC but my programmes were too deeply buried to check. This post has been brought to you by Nerds Anonymous - give generously

Mediocre and historically innacurate rather than full-on crap IMHO. Makes Buster out to be a chirpy type when his proneness to depression etc. eventually contributed to his suicide. Julie Walters is excellent in it but she usually is even in crap films. I have an affection for this film as I remember going to the cinema to see it with my then girlfriend (now wife) and we danced in the isles to 'Two Hearts' before curtain up as there was no-one else in the cinema.

Like the fact that you have included Jimmy Hill and Colin Dexter both seem to be missing in the discussions so far about this year's list. If Colin survives he can go into my theme team next year.

He dances but I wouldn't read too much into that the film also features Mickey Rooney and Robin Williams

I know this is only based on a National Enquirer entry but Daryl Dragon (b.1942) (Captain from Captain & Tennille) is reported to have entered a nursing home because of an ongoing neurological condition.

What Do You Think Of The 2015 Death List?
Bibliogryphon replied to Davey Jones' Locker's topic in DeathList Forum
What other areas of life do you think that we should inlcude? We all have a cultural life that would include actors, writers, TV personalities and musicians, we all exist in the world of a politcal dimension and that is ruled by politicians and royalty, we then have a working life and it is probably the field of business that is under represented and then we get to sport - it seems to me that because most sportsmen (and women) have relatively short carers early in life it is easy to forget them. There are many celebrities who span the categories above because you could easily put Clive James down as a writer rather than a presenter. Consider yourself lucky one player in my work game picked Josie Cunningham as her wildcard. I now know who she is and I cannot remove this information from my brain no matter how much I wish to. -
Went to see Battle of the Five Armies last night, great to see Christopher Lee in anything. It is the best of the trilogy and very enjoyable unless you are a Tolkien purist (like Mrs Bibliogryphon)

What Do You Think Of The 2015 Death List?
Bibliogryphon replied to Davey Jones' Locker's topic in DeathList Forum
I have 29/50 in common with my shadow list. I had to replace Luise Rainer with Peter Sutcliffe from the one I previously posted. -
The death of Luise Rainer on 30th of December is the equivalet of a controversial penelty in extra time allowing a score draw between the nay sayers and the list supporters. Getting into double figures is a significant milestone and if we can carry the momentum on into 2015 we could be looking at 12-15 dead.

Goodbye Mrs Noah anyone?
