Gilbert Baker, the artist who designed the Rainbow Flag, has died aged 65.

Thanks DI. Right from the get-go I knew it was going to take a mammoth effort to dispose of a deadpooling great such as yourself. Whilst, unfortunately, the giant-killing was not to be, to come as close as I did is an achievement which I can be proud of. In the meantime, I've sent msc a team just in case a last minute upset is to occur. Otherwise, I'll be sure to post it in this thread for anyone who may be interested.

I hope those leopard seals haven't done anything awful to him.

Beau Duck - A Canadian Quackquacka'quackau activist. I'm surprised you had never heard of him.

In stark contrast to last week's onslaught of big-name deaths allowing for a rather predictable Last Word selection, this week has seen a bit of a drought making predictions rather challenging. Nevertheless there are plenty of names out there. Kathrada and Storey feel like certs. Clem Curtis and Lola Albright perhaps? Oleg Popov from the archives? Who knows, unless you are the producer of the show.

Serial killer Donald Harvey who was known as the 'Angel of Death' after pleading guilty to 37 murders in 1987, has died after being attacked whilst in prison, at the age of 64.

Feck sake. Edit: I mean, well done DI. Well deserved.

Oliver Nome has died. DI doesn't have him...

As rockhopper doesn't seem to be around to kickstart the predictions, I'll fill in for him this week. Who could possibly make this week's line up? Chuck Berry and Colin Dexter feel like certs. David Rockefeller too dull? Martin McGuinness too controversial? Inomjon Usmonxo'jayev too obscure? Who knows, unless you are the producer of the show.

Smith Hart's posted on his Facebook page. Only the first paragraph of his post is of much interest to us, so I'll post that here. "I want to apologize for my lack of online presence of late. The nature of the beast I am fighting has zapped my strength at times and I find it hard to even get out of bed. I thank everyone for their continued support during this time."

Taking the Michael this time...

You're right, I awarded Drol's points to you instead of him, I'll fix that right now.

Jimmy Breslin has died aged 86. https://twitter.com/JohnAvlon/status/843458293498568706 Edit: Obit from The Daily News

That is what I used to do but the option is no longer available to me, the toolbar on my edit page has been a bit tuncated with only some of the buttons showing, it actually stops at the 'insert numbered list' button, even the 'strike through' button is not there Is your zoom set to above 100%? If so, just zoom out to 100%, that should fix the problem.
