Clarissa Dicson-Wright has suggested that people eat the badgers that are being culled which led to heroic badger defending vege Rock God Brian May to suggest that people should eat her.
A new twist on celebrity masterchef - the celebrities are the actual dishes!
Kinda fitting really, as May appears to have some sort of wildlife permanently residing on his head
Are you sure thats not Anita Dobson

RIP Herbert Lom

The discussions in Margaret Thatcher on the 2012 names page got me thinking of all her triumphs and naturally 'The Miner's Strike' came to mind. Roy Lynk who founded the Union of Democratic Mineworkers (Traitor in chief) does not even have his own wiki page. Is he still alive? A UK obit would be a certainty.

David Cameron was not an outright winner of the 2010 election.At the risk of being labelled a pedant, David Cameron was an outright winner of the 2010 election; he took 58.8% of the vote.
The Conservative Party is another thing entirely.
Time you are a pedant.
But that statistic throws up another question. Over 40% of the inhabitants of Witney don't think David Cameron is the best person to be thier MP. Surely he should be getting over 70% in a part of the country where children are born sporting blue rosettes.

There is also a view that she destroyed the Conservative party as well and rendered it unelectable for years because of her obsession with Europe - read Maggie - Her Fatal Legacy by John Sergeant.
So I suppose we do have something to be thankful to her for!
Didn't stop them eventually regaining power tho
As part of a coalition. David Cameron was not an outright winner of the 2010 election.
Considering how the media were going for Gordon Brown at the time there was still something in the British psyche that whispered "Remember".

It would be better if it was in rememberance!

Last week I was in Tokyo which is a candidate city for the 2020 games (imo a shoe-in since the other contenders are Madrid (broke) and Istanbul (dangerous)). If the bid is successful I think someone should celebrate by reminding everyone of Japan's contribution to World cinema by making a new film Godzilla vs Wenlock.

Joanna David - played Cathy Carter in 2 episodes; born 17 January 1947 (aged 65) has appeared in numerous telivision roles and was still acting as of this year (Doctors); obit chances - pretty good.
Joanna David a certainty for an obit, I'd say. She's married to Edward Fox and both their children (Emilia and Freddie) are actors too.
She was also in the seminal BBC Pride & Prejudice in 1995 as Mrs Gardiner - just for that she will get an obit.

French mime Marcel Marceau died 5 years ago today at age 84.
This picture is too scary for words...

Richard Wilson, so start bringing out yer " 6 foot in the Grave' jokes, dusting em off and hold a Dachshund to yer ear for slight amusement.

A couple of years ago I saw Richard Wilson play Malvolio at the RSC. For someone who is well over 70 he was remarkably sprightly and cavorted around the stage, so unless there is some medical suggestion of an underlying problem I would not take any bets on him for 2013.

Why the hell do you guys hate Maggie so much? Put it as plain and simple as you can. Therefore I would like to understand it properly. (I am Estonian. That is my excuse).
What is your view of her, from an overseas perspective?

Nick Clegg's political career is just about to die... I hear he is due to sing an appology in a party political broadcast with the aid of an autotune machine. Utter, utter ef'ing tw#t. (And I've voted Liberal in the past.)
What has happened is that he made an apology over the tuition fees and somebody autotuned it into a song. He has given its approval for this video to be sold by iTunes as long as the money goes to charity. (Children's Hospital).
What we don't know is how bad a conservative government without the Lib Dems might have been.
We did have 18 years of them you know
1997 seems a long time ago and I think a lot of people have forgot how bad it was. However I don't think they forgot enough for David Cameron to win an outright majority and now everything he does reminds the population of the UK how arrogant and out of touch his party are with the concerns of real people.

You are probably going to think it a bit sad that I noticed this but the DOB for Ian Tough (the other Krankie) on the DDP page contains a typo it is 1947 not 1974.
I will definitely enter next year.

Dennis Norden famous for presenting It'll Be Alright on The Night will be 90 next year.

My father-in-law leant my daughter the DVD of the Ladykillers. Herbert is the only surviving member of the cast but my daughter (aged 16) loved it. Superb film. So gentle but wickedly funny

Poetry, poets, dead ones, dying ones, deathly ones. Spy corner has demonstrated that there is more than a passing interest among deathlisters in poetry and poets as TF suggested some time ago.
Stanley Kunitz is one among many. Who will be next? Louis Simpson? Gunter Grass, the SS poet? Lawrence Ferlinghetti?
A thread for favourite poems, discourse on all things poetic and, of course, poets who are potential deathlist material. Ernesto Cardenal, Henri Chopin, Robert Creeley, Hans Enzensberger, Tuli Kupferberg, Noel Edmonds: names you are not likely to find in the Big Brother House.
Dedicated to Emily Dickinson, the matriarch of deathly verse.
If you wait long enough it will happen after six years Louis Simpson has died aged 89. He won the 1964 Pulitzer Prize.

The Producer of the animated version of the Snowman John Coates had died.
Guess he's flying through the air now on his way to collect his harp.
not flying. -
