    Authors Last A Long Time, But....

    I am not getting any news of this elsewhere and I am looking because she is on my DDP theme team. Wiki is showing her as alive. Fuck knows......... http://en.mediamass..../deathhoax.html Wiki edit was somebody claiming to be great great great great grand neice or whatever, and was reverted because not classed as 'reliable'. I saw that site and dismissed it, The times obit looks legit but I will probably wait until it shows up somewhere I can read the whole article.

    Fuck........ that is funny. Unfortunately for you, apparently I have reached the maximum limit of "likes" that I am allowed to give in one day. Never had that before..... I had no idea there was a limit on the number of "likes" you can do in one day. I hit it on the day Thatcher died. Hahahahahahahahaha. It's funny because it's (presumably) true. I'm guessing the limit might be anything between 15 and 25. It is true! There was a lot of comment that day and a lot of it was very funny but also a lot was quite poignant. I used to work for British Coal. Oh, right. Remind me to wear riot gear if I ever meet you at a DL convention or whatever, then. I was not a miner. During the miner's strike I was doing my O-levels (see Harper Lee) and we were meant to have a visit from the local police force as part of our social studies lessons but it was cancelled because all the local police were drafted in to deal with flying pickets.

    Whatever the situation this must be the end game he has been teasing us since 1998 when he was first listed. I don't see him lasting another 16 years.

    General Jaruzelski

    Last post from Polish paper through Google translate. General Wojciech Jaruzelski is dead - BBC announced today , fact and Newsweek . - That's not true . Alive, but in serious condition - meanwhile said in an interview with Onet his daughter , Monika Jaruzelska . Wojciech Jaruzelski three years struggling with cancer for several months with short breaks stayed in the hospital. Wojciech Jaruzelski, a few days ago had a stroke , his condition deteriorated greatly . For several days in intensive care. - I 'm afraid that my dad at any time can already be there . His condition is serious . I was with him at the hospital , but the first time I had any contact with him , lying unconscious . I'm very afraid - said yesterday " Super Express " Monika Jaruzelska , the daughter of a general. For several days Jaruzelski staying at the Military Medical Institute . Before the weekend general health was good. Doctors have wondered , even if not write him home after nearly two-week stay in the hospital , during which he removed the port vascular drug delivery in cancer chemotherapy ; General underwent a minor procedure Urological . They are suggesting that rumour of his death are greatly exaggerated (or at least a bit quick off the mark)

    Journalists

    Shouldn't that be the other way round, as in: "Guy goes nuts and claims to be god"? If you insist. Although he could really have been God but he was just having a bad day. Not impossible is it, hmm? If he really can see everything..... there's some pretty annoying and appalling, and just plain gross-to-watch stuff going on. Oh yes, of couse... That God person must have been nuts when he accepted that "create the heavens and the earth" contract. regards, Hein No he saw it and he saw that it was good. You can build a beautiful house but you have no control if Max Clifford moves into it!

    He's the drink driving car crashing literally and metaphorically hasbeen right? That sounds more like George Michael. *Doh* Boy George is the other one right come-a-come-chameleon ... Maybe we could get him to do an autoerotic asphyxiation cover of it cum-a-cum-a-croaking He was the one who was arrested for imprisioning a rent boy in his flat.

    Dead Pop Stars

    just seen her on Newsnight- she's just a year younger than my mum but what a MILF ! Admit it- you would wouldn't you! She is a complete enigma. The picture on the BBC website looks terrible but for a woman of her age the picture above is good. I saw her picture of her with Lily Allen and wondered whether she would outlive Lily. I wouldn't want to call that one.

    Thanks for the update I thought about this the other day and that nobody seemed to be bothering. The only one who is causing me worry is Michael Schumacher.

    Judy Finnegan

    I can understand your frustration at this but you have to understand that Richard & Judy effectively created the Middle England, Middle Morning banal TV format that results in programmes like the One Show. I find them arrogant and rather self important but someone has bothered to interview them and then to spin a story based on that one comment. However the true cultural significance of this couple is the "I Saw Richard Madeley on a Bus" song - look it up. It's pointless to try and explain or anything or try to calm or comfort me in any way. I've been closely watching the news for way too many years now and I think the damage from it is as irreversible as a cheap raincoat. I realised yesterday when this came up - "I've got to stop putting the news on first thing when I wake up...." cos I only just defeated the urge to throw a 9ft tall wardrobe at my TV when I saw it. I think it's also this issue though, and how they keep going on about end of life issues etc. May sound weird for someone who posts on Deathlist but I get sick of hearing about all the old people who are boo-hooing because they haven't got the balls/sense to just get on a flight to Switzerland, they insist on having the legal right to do it here, boo the fuck hoo..... We could be getting into the serious debating arena here but in someways getting on a flight to Switzerland could also open up a partner, friend or medical professional to the accusation that they assisted their suicide even if it is by buying the ticket. I do not think the law should be changed because in the current situation every case is investigated but a the discretion of the police/judge or CPS genuine compassionate cases can be given the benefit of the doubt. If the law were changed I fear that elderly or ill people may feel under pressure to 'let everyone get on with their lives" On the news front abandon the TV and switch to Radio 4 it is much less irritating.

    Do You Actually Research?

    You may have noticed that I like lists so compiling them is all part of the research but when it comes down to picking the actual DDP teams it is very difficult to make the right choices. But I do find it fun seeing how everyone else has compiled the lists. I will often spend time looking through the entries on the DDP site to get some ideas or just for the humorous write ups.
