So is that what Peter Gabriel meant when he sang "games without frontiers, war without tears"?
"Hans plays with Lotte, Lotte plays with Jane, Jane plays with Leo, Leo is happy again"
I repeat this song is not about sexual assault.

Very worried that we are not going to get accurate information. He could be dead for weeks before we find out.
Lucky it is early in the year.
-
Pops up today in the i paper saying how he is still working on new books at 98.
I think my post in 2nd Death of 2013 will be a dud.
The statistics in the article may grim reading for Deathlisters especially for those people who just pick the old.

Didn't Edward Kennedy collapse at the first term inauguration and didn't last much longer after that?

I found my notes sheet for compiling my 15 today and I had crossed out Michael Winner replaced him with Kirk Douglas crossed out Kirk Douglas and replaced with Abdullah al Said and then threw Kirk back in when Dina Manfredi died.
Damn Damn Damn

Going for Chapman Pincher.
No reason just the current project.

Founder of the Montreux Jazz Festival Claude Nobs is in a coma after a skiing accident.
He is now long gone as he was featured on Last Word on Friday.
and has already been reported as such (twice) in the Death by Jazz thread.
I only look in the Death by Jazz thread in the vain hope that Cleo Laine has died.

Just because people are fat doesn't mean they won't live a long life does it!
Not all smokers die early either but for a site that deals with liklihoods and probabilities being fat does carry added risks.

I think Cliff would have been a better inclusion in the list than either Nicholas Parsons or Peter O' Toole.

It does. The dye is cast. 2013 could already be shaping up to be a battle royale between the two best DDP teams...
I think that should be die as in the singular of dice.
As opposed to a colorant!
I am sure this is another glasshouse comment as Time will often point out, sorry.
-
Yeah, but I can't imagine his hospitalisation will be accompanied by rolling 24-hour news coverage and a Guardian liveblog.
No but even the suggestion managed to generate 4 (sorry 5) posts.

Unelected heads of state have no place in a democracy in my view. I don't personally mind if only a tiny percentage of the population turn out to vote, at least we had the option. I shall now duck as any monarchists/royalists throw whatever comes to hand in my direction.
Dear En Passant
No need to duck, I respect your opinion but where is the main stream political thinking in the UK that is pushing for even including a republican debate in a manifesto. There is no appetite for it. I would also suggest that they are waiting till the Queen dies before having the debate out of respect. That is flawed thinking in my mind because that will be the worst time to have the debate. I think we should accept the monarchy, reform its worst excesses (reduce the civil list) and enjoy the status they bring us in the world.

Pincher isn't really deserving of much thread activity.
He could generate some by going into hospital or dying.

Surprised I have a unique pick. Len Goodman of all people.
He just got married and keeps going on about looking after old people (i,e, Not Him)

All members of the Royal Society of Chemistry get their Deaths announced in Chemistry World.
When I first became a member (in pre internet days) it was how I discovered Magnus Pyke had died.

This is not a joke. More of a statement
Americans have started a petition to kick Piers Morgan out of the country. Meanwhile, a counter-campaign has been launched in Britain to refuse to take him back.
I hope we can meet the Yanks halfway on this, and put the cunt in the middle of the Atlantic.
I must admit I think Piers is playing a blinder on this one. My admiration for him has increased by an infinite amount (Any number divided by zero is infinity!).

John Prescott looked terrible on Question Time last night. I mean, I'm not suggesting any health problem...he just looks hideous!
Less attractive than Nadine Dorres?

I had to read the riot act to a couple of my players this year who wanted to play the Duchess of Cambridge's unborn child as their wildcard. One of them accepted my ruling and the other just played Kate instead.

The big guy is back on the road again this year, touring the UK with his 'Last At Bat Tour'
Quoted from www.meatloaf.net
"This series of incredibly special dates will see the singer perform a two-act show. The first act will include some of Meat Loaf’s greatest hits such as ‘Dead Ringer For Love’ and ‘I’d Lie For You (And That’s the Truth)’. The second act will be the classic debut album ‘Bat Out Of Hell’ – with all 7 songs performed in their original order."
The Pavarotti of Rock is given us the impression that he ain't due on our list just yet folks!!
Did you greet Michael Jackson's tour announcement in the same manner?

This thread is really quiet.
His last book was published in 2009 but he is most famous because of his association with Peter Wright and the Spycatcher affair

Why the need for a proposal when the answer is "just do what Germany does"? http://www.republic.org.uk/What%20we%20want/In%20depth/The%20Case%20for%20a%20Republic/Policy/index.php
I have yet to see a realistic proposal for how a British Republic would function and how the head of states position would relate to that of the Prime Minister.But that wouldn't happen, because that's not what's being proposed. There has never been a President Kohl or President Schroeder of GermanyConsidering the overwhelming apathy that greeted the Police Commissioner elections do you think that the UK would turn out to vote for a figure head. I just don't see the republicans gaining mainstream political support in the UK.
Do we want to be 'just like the Germans'?

Whatever. He's going to hell in any case. Corrupt scumbag.
Wanted to like this but it's a guest.
Horrible, horrible man.
Normally this level of vitriol is reserved for child murderes, dictators, reality TV stars and Margaret Thatcher.

Mariangela Melato, who patricians like me will know was the female lead in the original 1974 Swept Away and plebs like you will remember as "Kala in Flash Gordon", has died at 71.
Definite Pleb! "Dispatch Warlock in Ajax to bring back his body"

That might confuse Saint Peter.
