    British Science Fiction Series

    He directed my fave tom baker story The Brain of Morbius. If any of you have not seen it seek it out. Philip Madoc, Tom Baker and Elizabeth Sladen all at the top of thier game.

    Jimmy Savile

    Open invitation imho......... If we are talking slightly creepy peado lyrics is anyone else slightly disturbed in this context by Neil Sedaka's Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen. You could interpret is as being 'Thank God now it is legal' or am I being harsh?

    Charles Aznavour

    Charles was the first victim in the film And then there were none based on the Agatha Christie novel Ten Little Indians. He sings at a piano but the recording used on the soundtrack has a full orchestral backing.

    Room 101

    I am not a civil servant but I must admit to tendancies in the other two. I will often get my haircut and nobody will notice and my job title is Environment & Sustainability Consultant. I liked RA's Eco friendly left leaning bent that fits for me too.

    Room 101

    Just got ''peer pressured'' into my first cut since 2012 the other week Fair enough, I'm a bloke, almost 47 and it was a fucking mess , but still......... Always had a hatred for the barbers, even as a kiddie, and its damn close call as to that chair or the dentists one I hate more. Think I was around 20 when I started figuring out ''how many more hair cuts 'till I die'' sort of outlook.........two a year, say I make 70.....equals 100 haircuts. By not getting it cut we prolong our lives Following a meeting I attended one of the other people there asked which one I was and the secretary replied accidently copying me in. He was the one you sat next to with the shaggy greying hair. Nice to know how people see you.

    General Jaruzelski

    Possibly a good call not putting him on the list then.

    I think you mean let me know. If you are using us it means either you are really really common or you are speaking on behalf of all the members of the forum and as you have not bothered to sign in or register you ain't speaking for me.

    Ideas And Possibilities For 2015

    Tony Booth interview in Daily Mirror. Struggling with dementia. Will he outlive Warren Mitchell?

    General Jaruzelski

    You may as well ask us would you bet on heads or tails. Two months on - no action. I am beginning to feel a bit like the episode of Torchwood where everyone stops dying.

    Hollywood Possibilities

    NBC Cancels the Michael J Fox show but this seems to be to do with ratings and nothing more sinister

    Leonard Nimoy

    Leonard Nimoy speaks about his illness More people have picked Barak Obama in the DDP than Leonard Nimoy.

    Jimmy Savile

    I was impressed by the trial of DLT when as a witness for the defence they called Barry Chuckle. The judge told him to restrict his statements to the use of the term I rather than we when referring to his recollections. Maybe the exchange went something like this: "I am interested in how things seemed to you" BC: " To me?" I'll stop now

    Michael Schumacher

    I was more thinking of someone who spent many years following a sporting accident being a shadow of their former selves before dying at a relatively young age.

    Dead Pool Ethics

    I like my picks to be famous for something other than illness and death but I must admit ethically I am a little bit of a hypocrite on the rules front because I set the limit as 16 during the year (b.1998) because I wanted to prevent certain players from picking Prince George but still allowing Paris Jackson as a potential pick.

    Zsa Zsa Gabor

    Be a fairly quiet one I imagine Accompanied by the gentle hiss of oxygen and whatever sound healthcare costs make as they stack up

    Michael Schumacher

    Is this true? (I am not a medical man) I was under the impression that he was being kept articially in a coma to prevent pressure building up on his brain. If he wakes up surely then this is when he might be in some danger. Sharon was allowed to remain in a coma for years because the brain damage was such that there was - effectively - nobody left to wake up. To bring Schumi back so quickly suggests two things: firstly, the doctors think they'll learn something from his responses (meaning they're fairly confident he'll have some awareness), and secondly that they won't be endangering his life by bringing him out of the medically induced coma (again, suggesting they've located enough physical stability and mental activity to indicate he's capable of some minor level of independent function at least). We could be heading into Christopher Reeve territory

    Political Frailty

    that probably means she'll die quite soon That's usually the case. Walter still looks ok, he looked a bit like he was in a world of his own last week when I saw him at the grocery store, then once the announcement about Joan entering hospice care probably explained his somber mood. you know them personally? I live in Minneapolis and he shops close to where I live at a store called Lunds in N.E. Minneapolis. in that case please pass on my condolences on behalf of deathlist I'll pay you if you do, try and record a photo of his reaction! "Sir, I subscribe to this website, we speculate on people who are about to die..." you've got a point there.Maybe best to wait a while till the initial shock and grief of her death is over.. If you do could you just ask him if he is planning to check out this year as he is in my DDP team.

    Exactly how much evidence would you need to start a really good conspiracy theory the PSH's death was actually engineered by Scientologists as revenge for his appearance in The Master in which he absolutely did not play a character based on L Ron Hubbard?

    Deathlist Dreaming

    I dreamt last night that all the news channels were reporting that the Prince Phillip had died. It was really annoying because in my dream I wanted to see something else on the news.

    Zsa Zsa Gabor

    Has uncertainty of measurement been applied to that figure +/- 5%?

    Chris Woodhead

    I can understand blaming individual teachers, the school/headmaster, the dog eating your revision, your mother dying just before your exams but putting the blame on the chief inspector of schools doesn't really cut much ice as I imagine not everyone in your year/school/class got poor results. But I am sure that you bounced back from adversity and made something of yourself.
