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

Apparently some called Helen Flanagan is upset and has stopped eating This means nothing to me but Yahoo seems to think it is news worthy.

I have produced a graphic in Excel to show how the current year compares to previous high and low watermarks but I am not sure how to load it into a post. Any suggestions?

When do we display anything but sensitivity and respect?

I think that the only name on the list that will trump Thatcher for significance this year would be Prince Philip.

But at least you had the courage of your convictions and played her in your DDP and so can bask in the glow of points earned. Well done.

Whilst verifying Coleman's birthdate (I haven't trusted i since the Ann Jones debarcle) I saw that Peter Dimmock (b. 1920) the original presenter of Grandstand is still alive.

This really is the sort of event we should celebrate at the Deathlist. I saw Barbara Bush standing erect and proud and thought "Damn, that was a wasted DDP pick" Am I getting vibes that next year there will be much more interest in Bill Clinton and if he is sick how does that play with Hilary's chances in 2016? Nice to see Tony Blair make the effort to turn up and Silvio Berlusconi managed to get 40 winks in.

David Coleman 87 today. I didn't realise he was so old, maybe he will get on the list in the next couple of years.

I am surprised no-one picked up on the fact that he got married for the seventh time just around New Year.

Eddie Mair, if you are listening, I am very cross with you for playing Deathlist tease on your PM programme. Yesterday at 5 the show started to the strains of "Three times a lady" by the Commodores and I got quite worried, concerned excited because I thought Lionel Richie had died. You have been warned.

I thought Carter & Bush snr were doing a good impression of Statler & Waldorf.

Ronnie Biggs George Bush Nelson Mandela Gough Whitlam Kirk Douglas Bernie Nolan Henry Cecil Billy Graham Richard Adams Nancy Reagan Does it for me, but there are a couple of other who I thought might do. Goes to show what a good list we have this year.

This is really interesting!! Do you know more auditions? I only know this one from Wikipedia/Betty White: “White was originally offered the role of Blanche in The Golden Girls, and Rue McClanahan was offered the role of Rose (the two characters being similar to roles they had played in Mary Tyler Moore and Maude, respectively). Jay Sandrich, the director of the pilot, suggested that since they had played similar roles in the past, they should switch roles, Rue McClanahan later said in a documentary on the series.” No not really but am I right in thinking that all the actresses who appeared in the UK version of the show are still with us?

We are running behind on 2008 - Richard Widmark was the 5th death on 26/3 followed by the sixth death (Charlton Heston) on 6/4. But if you compare to the other record year 2003 the 5th death did not occur until 27th June (Strom Thurmond), so we are ahead. Anyone care to have a stab at the 10 names that would break the record?

This could be a difficult time for Alex Salmond as the subsequent by-election could come to be seen as a proto-referendum ballot. Though it would have been more significant if he had been a MP rather than an MSP.

Link to this years list - I remember reading that apparently Elaine Stritch auditioned for the role of Dorothy but (by her own admission) performed very badly.

To make up for previous comments where criticisms were levelled for some information on candiadtes not being updated. I was flicking through yesterday when I came across the David Blaine entry. That is quality. Keep up the good work.

That's not irony, it's sarcasm. Yeah, ask Alannis Morissette

Isn't this a suplement that comes free with the Mail on Sunday?

American Children's author and multiple Newbury medal winner E L Konigsburg I must admit off my radar. More research needed.

Interesting mention here for his wife Champions actress Alexandra Bastedo who now appears to run an animal sanctuary.

Happy Birthday George 88 Today!

Yes I'm sure Ronnie would have wanted homosexuals to be allowed to marry just before they were killed by a firing squad.

Happy Birthday Dickie Bird 80 Today.
