Lynsey de Paul who represented the UK in 1977 with Rock Bottom has died aged 64. She was the partner of Angus Deayton for some years.

What is happening here? I am sure a couple of years ago Penny was being touted as a definite hit in the coming year and made the DDP Drop Forty but things have gone very quiet. Good news or bad?

A cocked eyebrow, no doubt... No, that'd be Spock, not Avon. Avon would probably have just shot at them.... Or made a over the top declaration. Does anyone remember the Burger King advert?

DJ Dr Fox has been arrested for allegations of sexual assault although this is not Yewtree related.

In a small act of defence for Mr Collins if you think We Can't Dance is bad the Collinsless Calling All Stations is much worse.

Jonathan King is not a paedophile. Fact. Bit of a grey area all round, The Daily Mail seem content to use the words "child sex abuser" in the context of his conviction for abusing teenage boys: http://www.dailymail...ry-Genesis.html There's no grey area at all, Tempus is just being weird for the sake of being weird on this particular matter..... Paedophile has a very specific definition, as King's youngest victim was 14 he can't be classed as a paedophile. You don't think he would of abused children if given the chance ? I'm sure Johnathan king wouldn't of turned away at the chance to abuse a 10 year old, or younger and for all we know he may well of done given what happened at the BBC with Savile and co. He looks like one Creepy bas**rd even his wiki profile pic is creepy him in a dressing gown posing for a selfie . Whose wiki profile pic is a pic they took themselves in their dressing gown at home. The guy is a paedo end of story and he is one of the few celebs i genuinely hope dies as soon as possible, well maybe not until I have picked him in 2015. haha Im not comfortable making a blanket assumption that somebody who "is into" teenagers is automatically going to be into pre pubescent children. Its like suggesting that all homosexuals have an unhealthy interest in underage boys because, well, they are queer, right? There is a big difference between teenagers and young children, if there wasn't then scum like Robert Black whouldnt have targeted the victims he did, would he. Well if Johnathan king was simply into teenagers why didn't he just shag 16 to 18 year olds legally ? People change alot from 12 to 16 , when i was 14 i was still very much built and acted more childlike by the time i was 16 i had grew nine inches and was built more like an adult . It also said he abused the trust of the kids parents , so I'm guessing he groomed them . 5 of the boys he assaulted were 14 to 15 surely if he was into teens he would of at least had 1 or 2 victims aged 18 or 19 etc . The homosexuality analogy (no punt intended) is nothing like that . A man convicted of shagging young boys (not the swiss football team haha) is clearly in my eyes a paedo whereas two homosexual men have consensual sex has nothing to do with paedophilia at all . The other thing to remember is that when these offences were committed the legal age for consent for homosexuals was higher.

Not sure where to post this but here seems as good as any. The situation in Hong Kong is very worrying. The Chinese government are in a quandry. If they give in they potentially start a creeping process of democratisation which they are not yet prepared for but if they clamp down (to whatever degree) they run the risk of ruining HK's reputation as a safe place to do business. Apparently BBC website is off in China and they have shut down access to Instagram. I think people should be paying a lot of attention to this. In the worst case this could make Libya look like a Sunday school picnic.

September 2014 driest on record in the UK with only 20% of the average rainfall.

George Clooney got married I don't care. But look at the photo of Bill Murray halfway down he looks like a tortoise. If they ever make Ghostbusters 3 he will probably be playing a ghost.

I presume he will not draw attention to the fact that the band pretended to break up after their first album just to get away from him.

Yes, didn't Wilko say that he wasn't going to have any treatment, or something along those lines? Then he goes on an apparently never-ending tour, puts out an album, and ...... I mean, good luck to the bloke and all that, but you can't blame people if they feel a bit misled. Erm.... no. Actually I think what happened is he said he wouldn't have any (more?) chemo, which quite a lot of people do because chemo is awful, but then they did some sort of "experimental" surgery to remove the tumour this summer. So it's not quite really "misleading" the world into thinking he was dying, just he thought he was gonna die cause he didn't want to suffer through chemo then some other option came up. To be honest I do not doubt Lynda Bellingham's sincerity in this, I just wanted the opportunity to make the lame Doctor Who gag.

Jean Alexander is back home after her stroke in June I was thinking she was a shoe in for the 2015 list but she may hang around for a while yet. Also Anne Kirkbride has been given three months leave from Coronation Street.

It seems to me celebrities are making sure we know about their illnesses now when we are thinking about the 2015 List. How humiliating would it be to be dying and nobody writing comments about it.

I do not want to be cynical but there is a book to sell and if we stray into Wilko Johnson territory then we should summon The Inquisitor Trial of a Time Waster?

Sorry but for the 500th time we can't view the Enquirer website over here in Yoorup. We just get a blank white page with the message "service not available in your area". Could you guys please copy+paste some of the article or something next time.....? Even if you are saying it's crap..... How come it is on sale in British Supermarkets but we cannot access the website? This seems to me a case of libel law lagging behind technology.

Was that filmed in widescreen?

So DLT gets a non-custodial sentence.

Jonathon King will once again grace our TV screens in a Documentry on Genesis to be screened on 04th October. Interesting to note he actually complained to the BBC about being edited out of TOTP and was assured it would not happen again. The photo half way down is quite interesting but probably none for 2015.

Apparently she is now gloating that she outlived Joan Rivers

I was in a Supermarket last night and a copy of The National Enquirer caught my eye with the headline who will die next? Now I know everything in this publication needs to be taken with a pinch of salt but they had found some fantastic photos. I have tried doing a Google search but I get the message coming up saying that content is not available in my area so I cannot link to the article. However they did go with someold favorites such as B B King, Mary Tyler Moore, Leonard Nimoy and Barbara Walters but some more controversial entries into the list were Liza Minelli, Jane Fonda, Cher, Chevvy Chase and Paul McCartney(?). There were also some people I had never heard of who I presume go under the title Celebrity.

I had a conversation with a colleague who recalled hearing an American conspiracy theorist who believed Denis was the head of the Iluminatii and would not even speak his name. Had a brief google but only came up with Bilderberg group theories. Does anyone know anything else about this?

If x=y then x-y=0 and then dividing by 0 cannot be done.

If only one of the committee people had said that. By the way Ed Asner is old as fuck, and fat. dunno if you noticed.... (p.s. you also forgot to include Wilko, and Denis Norden is probably stickin around too) I stand by my statement I do not think Ed Asner will die in 2014. If I am wrong you may point and jeer. However if it gets to New Years Eve and he is still with it you may raise your glass to the stars and say "Bibliogryphon was right about Ed Asner though"

Fairly high profile coverage, getting mentioned on the brief news bulletins on BBC radio and the like. Encouraging for those minded to pick aged aristocratic types in future deadpools. Fourth hit for my Unusual Suspects team.

Looking at the list there are only seven names that I would stick my neck out and say WILL survive the year. That gives us 36 potential green bottles. Dick van Dyck Tony Bennett Valerie Harper Ed Asner Terry Pratchett Shaw Taylor Charles Aznavour I thought about adding Stan Lee then decided against it.
