We but the committee a large drink and start extorting money from celebs not to be put on the 2014 list. Nicholas Parsons will survive though.

Death Anniversary Thread

I had a tie for christmas with the Periodic table and a picture of Mendeleev on. Bibliogryphon, CChem, MRSC -
Andrex now want to know if you "scrunch" or "fold". What the fuck is wrong with them? Does it matter? Why not just ask "How do you wipe the shit from your arse?" Do they REALLY think that a Scrunch or Fold choice puts wiping arseholes into the same ball park as tucking napkins into your fuggin top to stop you spilling soup down your best shirt? Wankers! Apparently it is important for the performance of the product in question. US users tend to fold and therefore the penetration strength is critical whereas European customers are generally scrunchers where linear strength is more important. But putting the question on the packs and actually alluding to the process for which people buy the product is a step too far in my British opinion.

We'll see, I'll update tomorrow. I was planning to do it tonight, but I wanted to watch the Richard III documentary. He was found in the car park of where I worked about ten years ago! Richard the Third should stay in Leicester. York council want him to be moved to the Minster in York.

The guy looks terrified. Where is Barbara?

I see a head of steam building behind Denis Healey and I almost picked him but went for Eli Wallach instead.

It is good but not perfect. It suffers from the cheap BBC 70's special effects but makes up for it in scripts and performance. It paves the way for Babylon 5.

He was also a Shakespearian actor, when I was at school we went to the RSC to see Henry V with Kenneth Brannagh, Brian Blessed, Patricia Routledge and Peter Miles. Bernard Horsfall played Pistol if I remember right.

All three apparantley Joy (b 1924) and Teddie & Babs (b 1927). Which to choose, which to choose.........?

Read this and thought this was someone different. Then I realised I was thinking of Alan Price. Who is not terminally ill (I think).

The crash happenedn in Derby (home of the deadpool). Is this significant?

Have you submitted a DDP team? That is where you can display your uncanny prescience about this years deaths and those who write the list might take notice of your suggestions in future. No I haven't gotten that far yet - just signed on this week or last week - don't remember much but there are a lot of empty bottles of wine laying around. So the DDP is a list of people I personally think are going to suck their last breath of air? I'll work on it. You have until the end of the year to get your entry in for 2014!

Ideas And Possibilities For 2014
Bibliogryphon replied to The Unknown Man's topic in DeathList Forum
Didn't know where to post this but the BBC are running a very interesting interview with Joy Whitby about her work on kids TV over the past 60 years. She is 82 now. Worth keeping an eye on. -
My first ever DDP Points - Thank you Patty!

When Someone Says "kiss My Ass"
Bibliogryphon replied to Mind Mush's topic in DeathList extra-curricular
Fortunately I live in England where such vulgar expressions would be seen as evidence of the speaker being mentally deficient (or American). Two equally frightful possibilities. Suck my balls. Better? Rugby, Cricket, Golf or Football? It makes a difference. -
I was tempted by the Bob Dole theory and am glad to have the swift opportunity to remove myself from the last pick of Chapman "Going nowhere" Pincher. I rejected Thatcher because joy does not need to be accompanied by a correct prediction. So I have fatalistically gone for Gough Whitlam as he is on none of my lists.

Wiki seems to confirm this but I would have thought this warrented a mention on the BBC website. Link to Zoo Chat website

When defending my work place deathlist to a colleague I said that it is interesting because it is a giant list and I am probably slightly autistic, I then added "Where better to hide a tree than in a forest" which about sums up my workplace.

There is a giant turd in Nick Owen's chair!

The British Candlemakers Federation would probably disagree with you.
