Maybe he would prefer my approach in not picking him because until all this discussion started I had absolutely no idea who he was.

You should highlight the educational benefit of the Deathlist in ensuring that the youth of today know the significance of figures such as Denis Healy, Jimmy Carter and Zsa Zsa Gabor. Only not the last one....

Just counted up and got 16 uniques across two of my teams. Including some people who I thought would warrent wider picks Judith Kerr, Michael Bond, Roy Dotrice and James Watson

That bit of information is the sort of thing that might mean he would be worth a pick but with the exception of David Jason I wouldn't be putting any of these on a list in the next two years. I even thought David Jason looked better than I had seen him recently in Still Open All Hours.

David Jason and Jim Broadbent are possibilities but both Kenneth MacDonald and Roger Lloyd-Pack took me by surprise.

To be fair if anyone watches SCD he keeps making similar jokes at his own expense. I think he will make 90 - like Nicholas Parsons.

I saw Roger play Sir Andrew in Twelfth Night (with Stephen Fry) in November 2012. He was an excellent comic and straight actor and will be sadly missed.

It is this situation that the OFSTED regime has contributed to. Who would expose themselves to the ritual humiliation of this type of witch hunt when there are many easier ways of earning a living. This becomes a vicious downward spiral. After finishing her degree a few years ago my niece, who had always wanted to be a teacher, tried to enrol on a post-graduate teaching course. However as the recession had just hit the course was filled by people who couldn't get other jobs and thought that teaching was a good stop gap until the job market picked up. My daughter has been taught by some brilliant teachers but also some incompetant ones. In every profession there are a range of abilities and talents. In reality the OFSTED inspections should be an opportunity to improve schools by highlighting best practice and suggesting areas of improvement but in an atmosphere of fear and mistrust they cannot be currently seen as constructive.

To make such a deduction you must have both boned a woman over 60 AND stuck your cock in a can of baked beans. Sicko. Yeah, but the money I raised for "Children In Need" made it all worth it. KIDS AS WELL! SOMEONE CALL YEWTREE! Today not one, not two, but THREE stars appeared before the beak. DLT, Rolf and Bill Roache, whadda the chances of that, eh!!!! To top it all, Freddie Starr was also rearrested. Jesus wept!!!! I noticed that. I also noticed Rolf Harris's wife in a wheelchair.......(one of my unique picks on the DDP ) It was seeing Bob Holness in a wheel chair at Johnny Dankworth's funeral that put me onto him but it took him something like sixteen months to go.

There is a difference between an obituary and reporting on the hospitalisation of a man in his ninties. I am sure when the time comes FIFA will make the matter known and all those pre-written obituaries can fill the space in the papers. This year with the World Cup in Brazil would add public interest to his death so it would be a good year to go. Probably sometime around May.

I am not as sure about this year's list as last years but assuming our estimed committee know what they are doing if we are going to break the record we need 15. So I have found 15 that I think can do it (from the list) Wilko Johnson Billy Graham Zsa Zsa Gabor Gough Whitlam Chris Woodhead Ian Paisley Kirk Douglas Mickey Rooney Peter Sallis Abe Vigoda Casey Kasem James Randi Fats Domino Sam Simon Clive James This has probably assured their survival well into 2015 but I am hoping that the record will be broken this year.

Warren Mitchell is 88 today.

I am hoping this is a joke.

The official news agenct says he had returned to the country after a holiday in Singapore but the use of a library photo seems to cast this into doubt. I was convinced we had Robert Mugabe on the main list this year and struggled to find this thread.

Just been listening to WATO on R4 and Ian Livingstone (Eidos & Fighting Fantasy) was being interviewed about setting up a Free School. Considering how the Fighting Fantasy novels were vilified by the Right Wing press this should have everyone at the Daily Mail howling like loons. There wasn't a Dungeons and Dragons topic!

I'd Play.

Hate to break this to you, but I suspect you'll find that one of them is actually Norwegian. Oh you mean Norway and Sweden aren't the same place?

I am surpised the tag line is not "End of the Rhoda?.." I am getting conflicting reports of her condition. I dropped her as a main pick from my work game but three players picked her as their wildcard. Time will tell!

Celebrates his 72nd Birthday today. Not convinced he is 2014 fodder.

Ron Moody is 90 today.

No, I'm actually being serious. Several of these people are not familiar to me, and they are not household names in Sweden. Or anyhere outside of Uk. Is this really an issue? Well, anyways, I think longterm, which means that my knowledge of things keeps growing for every day. I'm only 20. No need to get all worked up and question my education that I work hard for at college level. Thanks! To be fair I can probably name less than 10 famous Swedes and four of them have names beginning with the first two letters of the alphabet.

This is one pick that surprised me but at 90 it seems legitimate. I have no evidence to say it is a bad pick and someone may have an excellent justification for it.

How about posting pictures of cats on the internet or putting up videos on You-tube of clips of our favourite TV shows synched with an eighties pop track. The internet seems designed to waste peoples time but I like this site it had informed me about many people that I had never known about and there have been some debates that made me think. The tone does tend to be respectful but there is also a dark humour to the site but it is not crude or aggressive. Oh dear this post might add fuel to yout civil service theory. I am not a civil servant but I am very very British.

I think it will be Friday evening GMT between 6 & 10pm
