    Hymn Writers

    The Methodist Chursch has just adopted a new hymn book so there may be more opportunities for up to date resaearch during long sermons - most of the people in the old book must be dead already Sydney Carter and F Pratt-Green died in 2004 & 2000 respectively.

    Room 101

    Well I think part of the problem is the dog is not doing its job properly surely these workshy layabouts should not even get close to your rear entrance and should be fleeing down the road minus their trousers seat. True, but one of the dogs is sadly recently deceased, and the survivor was too engrossed in the rabbit he caught several weeks ago. He buried it as soon as we got home, but exhumes it regularly for a snack. Not much of it left now. Note to self: get new dog. Well he could bury one of the salesman, they would keep him going till Christmas

    Comedians & Comedy Writers

    Most of 'allo 'allo are dead already- Hill, Haig, Silvera, Hilary Minster(?) - played von Klinkerhoffen and the large German chappie (Richard Marner I think his name was), not to mention Jean-louis Mansi and the chap from the Carry On movies who name inexpicably fails me right now. Likewise a good number of the Hi-Di-Hi cast are no longer with us Cadell, Dwyer, Bowness, Shane, Holland and Kenneth Connor (again) But people like Sam Kelly, Gordon Kaye, Jeffrey Holland and Ruth Madoc if they survive can be the Frank Thornton and Clive Dunns of the future.

    Comedians & Comedy Writers

    With time having seen off most of the casts of the 70's stalwarts Dad's Army & Are You Being Served? Maybe we should begin to compare and contrast the 80's contributions particularly following the death of Paul Shane which programme will provide us with most fertile ground Hi-De-Hi or Allo, Allo?

    Is it true that the Sun used the headline "Scrape Me UP Before You Go-Go"?

    Discuss The 2013 Deathlist

    I have plotted on a graph the hits against progress through the year. I have used 2013 (obviously), 2012, 2011 (poor year), 2008, 2003 (good years). Because 2003 was very sporadic (three clusters of intense activity) I think the year to track performance against is 2008. Our third hit at the beginning of Feb took us ahead of the 2008 line but they crossed again in the middle of March. We are now falling behind dramatically. However if we make the sixth hit before 150 days (30 May) and eight hits before 200 days (19 July) then I still think there is the potential for a good year but it could be 2003 all over again when all fourteen deaths occurred before the end of September.

    Derby Dead Pool 2013

    As e-mail mistakes go this is pretty mild. Once one of my colleagues made the mistake of responding to the original message rather than the fowarded message and send one of our most important customers an message saying the were a stupid f****** c*** who didn't understand what they were asking for. Suffice to say he is no longer a colleague. TMIB you are doing a sterling job which we should all remember.

    The Deathlist Howto

    Ehrm, I don't quite get what you mean? Would you want to post a sheet? It's possible as an attachment, but that's a part of the forum software where I rarely come and where monsters live. regards, Hein I have entered the data to produce a chart and I have tried copying the chart into word but that doesn't work. I suppose it would be the same as posting an image but I don't know how to do that either Aha, like this: What I do is: - go to http://imageshack.us/ - upload the picture there - do some magic to bypass the Please Register pain - grab the url of the uploaded picture - post it. I suppose better anonymous picture sites exist. regards, Hein I have tried the image loading website but they are blocked from my current location. So I will keep the graphic for my own pleasure and describe the conclusions in the appropriate forum.

    The Dead Of 2013

    This confused me because I was thinking of Aubrey Morris who played the bathing captain in the TV series of The Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy but he is alive and well.

    Nicholas Parsons

    Appeared at the local theatre in Kettering on Sunday night. Didn't go along but doesn't strike me as he is wobbly not with all those things going on.

    Dead Pool Ethics

    This argument does not carry much weight. Of the five hits we have had this year the only one who was over 90 was Patty Andrews and this was her third appearance on the list. Just because someone is over 90 there is still a good chance that they will last out the next 12 months. If you are playing a game like the DDP then the age will determine the amount of points that you get for any hits. I think this is a good list and there are plenty of opportunities to play in your own way.

    Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew

    Well I can clearly see the problem here in a programme billed as Celebrity Rehab it seems a bit short of Celebs I only knew about 5 or 6 of the names listed.

    Michael York

    Ok, I looked this up and... FUCKING HELL!!!!!!!!!!1 HE LOOKS LIKE THE UNHOLY LOVE CHILD OF MOHAMMAD AL-FAYED AND GERALD KAUFMAN He has some rare blood condition: http://uk.movies.yah...-080950979.html That is very sad I like Michael York but as soon as I have finished typing this I will be adding him to my long list for next year.

    Margaret Thatcher

    Not Mandela? I did think about both Mandela and George Bush Snr. The latter can be dismissed as a one term president against a 10 year stint as Prime Minister but Mandela could be a challenger. The real question is what is South Africa's place in the world compared with the UK & USA? Bush Snr & Carter would be big in the states but thats about it, both would receieve a couple of hours of breaking news feeds on Sky as opposed to the two days worth for Thatcher, in terms of most significant on the list i do think Mandela would beat Thatcher as would Prince Philip. Mubarak, Castro and Stan Lee are other possible contenders. Stan Lee would be significant for a small portion of the population (Big Bang Theory territory) but not worldwide. I wouldn't be able to pick out his face in a line up. Castro possibly he has longevity but Mubarak no.
