I was going to post this,sad to say but IMO the bloke is going senile,at least Peter Purves had his marbles on that show With all these 1970s male tv celebs coming under fire from Operation Yewtree, I surprised Peter hasn't been under suspicion yet... especially with a relevant surname like his. No Peter will it seems shag anything in a skirt (I got that from his own autobiography) but I do not think there is any suscpicion that he did anything illegal. Including Valerie Singleton, although he did have to kick Joan Armatrading out of her bed first, so I'm told... He also notched up Jean Marsh from their days on Doctor Who. Really? I wonder if he finished upstairs or downstairs... He certainly Rose to the occasion.

I'd think Japan, and so Tokyo, has a radiant future. It seems that future has also escaped the IOC's attention. regards, Hein by radiant you mean nuclear radiant ? I think they wanted to give it to turkey but with the riots ,civil war next door in syria and the fact Istanbul's infrastructure is no where near a high enough standard was the reason Tokyo got it. I have a feeling that these are the next host cities: paris 2024 usa 2028 Argentina 2032 turkey 2036. It is odd that the IOC took 11 months to come to the same conclusion as me last year. I think the next four might be Germany 2024 (Berlin?) USA 2028 (New York) Africa 2032 (Not sure where but I think they would want to go there) Scotland 2036 (With life president Alex Salmond parachuting in to the opening ceremony)

I am going to declare Nicolas safe for this year but to celebrate and provoke discussion I have attached a list of those currently living Just a Minute guests who have notched up more than 20 appearances (? - on the radio). Paul Merton (1957- Gyles Brandreth (1948- Julian Clary (1959- Charles Collingwood, (1943 - Barry Cryer,(1935- Jenny Eclair, (1960- Stephen Fry, (1957- Sheila Hancock,(1933- Tony Hawks, (1960- Kit Hesketh-Harvey, (1957- Aimi MacDonald, (1942- Andree Melly, (1932- Chris Neill, (1968- Ross Noble, (1976- Graham Norton, (1963- Sue Perkins, (1969- Tim Rice, (1944- Liza Tarbuck.(1964- All the originals are dead and Linda Smith and Wendy Richard were also on the list but are no longer with us. I think Andre Melly is an interesting potential future pick as she is also George Melly's sister. Presence on this list alone almost guarantees a UK Obit for any of these.

Lord Barney Hayhoe surely not a real person but a lazy characiture of a typical toff. Though to be honest Hayhoe is not a good starting point from a naming point of view.

To all Australians who may be reading this - Good Luck with that.

Well Tokyo has been awarded the 2020 games so obviously amongst the considerations of the IOC is not which city is most likely to be attacked by Godzilla.

Tomorrow is Day 250. We are now 5 deaths behind 2008 and bearly one death ahead of 2011. However this point in 2003 sparked a frenzy. "Watch out for that asteroid Mr O' Toole"

Holocaust denier David Irving (b 1938) has apparently been carrying out a promotional book tour in the UK but the events are not publicly advertised and you have to provide details so he can vet potential attendees. Sounds to me like someone who may be likely to be murdered (or thinks he will be)

Not sure this is the right place to post this but I am going to propose Tatoos. Before those of you adorned with body art protest I am not damning all tatoos but particularly those where an "inspirational" phrase is tatooed on the body in a prominent position. These may read great to the individual getting the tat but they should think how else this could be construed. I saw a young lady on the tube who had the phrase For every man his hour on her upper arm. Fortunately I was too polite to ask whether there was a booking form that needed to be completed or whether the hour could be taken whenever it was convenient. At least it wasn't on her thigh. I do hope said young lady is not a Deathlister as she will be very upset about her really cool tatoo.

I for one wish Jack a long and happy retirement as long as he doesn't make any more bloody films. He is one actor whose presence is guarenteed to spark my disinterest in a film.

Kate Bush has a few songs for the morbidly inclined This Woman's Work is awesome and Moments of Pleasure was written for people she knew who had died and the entire Ninth Wave section of The Hounds of Love album is about a woman drowning. However if you want a song that is mawkish and slightly tasteless is Hello, This is Joanni (The Telephone Answering Machine Song) by Paul Evans

The panda was selected as the symbol for the WWF following a vote amongst school children probably sometime around 1976 there were four animals proposed but the panda was a runaway winner. I am hoping this is not something I imagined I remember!

Don't know if she's pregnant, not do I care much. Giant panda's are silly animals anyway: vegetarian bears in the colour scheme of penguins.[1] Can't they make up their minds? [1]Ok, Giant pandas have one interesting feature: their thumb. regards, Hein You remind me of a bloke at work who despises Pandas because he heard somewhere they were an evolutionary deadend. He argues that people throw money into conserving them because they look cute, whereas there are other, less attractive animals more in need of funds. Heard that opinion expressed as Panda just sit there and are rubbish at breeding but the same could be said of most Modern Warfare players

Hopefully only two will make the starting tape. If you think they are good they are good. Why should my opinion be worth more than yours. I am not their Doctor!

Are we absolutely sure she is pregnant or is she just trying to spin the press out with constant speculation about her reproductive system (A sort of balck and white furry Jordan)?

He seems pretty optimistic about his chances of recovering. He was quoted as saying "The "future's so bright I gotta wear shades. That.......wasn't.......them....... Nor that one. Doesn't say much for their musical legacy is that random eighties tracks are assigned to them.

Is this our revenge for having to include Nancy Dell' Olio a couple of years ago?

He may have weeks to work on it.

Hmm. I read (and like) quite some of his work. Oh well, 96 is quite a good innings. regards, Hein Damn he was going to be on my team for 2014.

The title of this thread is "Beatles death curse", this implies that this thread is about Beatles or people associated with the Beatles who die early/tragic/unexpected deaths, not people associated with the Beatles who died natural deaths at the age of 95. Well considering that the remaining band members can now be thought of as old men then this thread has probably run its course.

You make it sound as if that's a bad thing... regards, Hein Any headlines which include the words "David Cameron" and Humiliated are OK by me.

F F S... And to think I moved out Annette Funicello from my Rotten.com team for cancer dancer... Makes ME sick... In some ways Dancing With The Stars/Strictly Come Dancing have a lot in common with the Deathlist. A group of celebrities from all walks of life are selected, we make judgements on their performance and they are eliminated one by one. Can we now get Len Goodmen to make predictions on their destination in the afterlife............. ......... HEAVEN !

He played the Vicar didn't he? Definitely one for the "I was surprised they were still alive" brigade
