On January 30 1649, King Charles I of England was beheaded for "treason". The monarchy was abolished and some tight-arsed bloke called Oliver Cromwell took over for a few years (the monarchy was restored 11 years later). Also, on this day in 2008, British prankster/TV host Jeremy Beadle died aged 59. A barrage of tasteless and cruel jokes about his deformed left hand (and also, messages just generally calling him a twat) soon appeared all over the internet, presumably because so many people around my age(ish) were embarrassed that they felt they "wasted" their childhoods watching his show "Beadle's About" which consisted of elaborate pranks on unwitting members of the public who had been "volunteered" for the pranks by their friends and family, or the show "You've Been Framed" which he presented, in which people sent in home videos of their relatives falling over garden furniture or falling off skateboards or accidentally knocking over a wedding cake or similar "bloopers" like that... Although there's probably plenty of people who hated the guy's guts at the height of his fame too, but I'll have to defer to some of the older British DLers on that.

Big update - Schumacher being "awakened" from artificial coma apparently. But that doesn't necessarily mean he'll be okay. Could still be in a "vegetative state". I guess we're about to find out whether he's "still Schumacher" or not. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2548067/Doctors-begun-process-taking-Michael-Schumacher-coma-claim-French-media.html

Oh right. Wondered what you were talking about. Trying to figure out how that's supposed to change my view of WW1 now... Surely if Kitchener liked young men why would he send millions of them to die horrible trench-footy, lice-tastic deaths..... History just gets more and more baffling.

Just thought I'd post this in here, it was only posted in the DDP thread so far..... Dorothy De Low, 103 year old table tennis player dies. http://www.ittf.com/_front_page/ittf_full_story1.asp?ID=34122&Category=general&Competition_ID=&

Just saw this from the Daily Mail a few days ago Basically they seem to be trying to suggest that he shagged Christine Keeler. Or Mandy Rice-Davies. Or someone. http://www.dailymail...d-30-years.html

I thought he was the documentary maker in This Is Spinal Tap.....

"I've had enough of this - tata!"

You are pretty much marked out in Life as a w***er if you have anything to do with A/ The Army B/ Television. Deserve what they get.....hope the Afghans have fun with them Er..... I bet most guys in the army get more pussy (or the other thing, if they like it) than you.

Er..... what? That's some of the most bizarre trolling I can remember reading.... well done, very creative.

Fucks sake, you really dragged this thread out from the dead didn't you? Erm, can a mod move Whitehouse's post to this thread instead: http://www.deathlist...pic=6517&st=220 And delete my post and the guest's post......... to save confusion........... this is the search engine's fault - it's so fucking shit!

Elton John and Elton John.

Ouch. Malucelli definitely got that memo!

Delia Smith and Engelbert Humperdinck.

Wow, I wonder whose team she's on....

I know it's only the National Enquirer, but if she really is a lesbian, I'm not surprised..... http://www.nndb.com/people/686/000022620/

I wonder how many times a week he walks down the street and someone says to him "Shouldn't you be in school?" and then they actually take a proper look at his incredibly wrinkled face and say "Oh, sorry!"

If ''cannibal'' there would be none left after a while or am I missing something? Yeah, you'd think so, although the phrase "breeding like rats" might have some relevance here, I'm not sure. Maybe the little blighters have set aside some separate rooms on the ship which are designated "shagging only, no eating". Just to keep the numbers up and keep the party going!

The latest bullshit "apocalypse"/horror movie-type scare story is a drifting, abandoned Russian ship full of "diseased cannibal rats", that "may" be heading towards the UK. http://uk.news.yahoo...-132016334.html Unless these rats know how to lower a lifeboat and row it to shore, I don't think we've got too much to worry about.....

I think you took Ann Coulter's "gay mafia" comments a bit too literally.

Also today, Winston Churchill died on Jan 24th 1965 - 49 years ago, a couple of months after suffering a massive stroke. He was 90 and had only retired from the House of Commons the previous year. Strangely he died on the exact same day of the year as his father Lord Randolph Churchill (who died back in 1895). Also, back in 41 AD the insane Roman Emperor Caligula is said to have been assassinated by his own guards on this day (but other sources have it as January 22nd). Apparently they had got a bit tired of his mad antics and thought it was getting to be a bit of a cliché to have a mad Roman Emperor and they wanted to put someone a little bit more mild-mannered in there.......

They just need a couple of pints of Guiness and everything will be OK. Er.... eh? Ernest Saunders... Oh....... haha. Okay. For a minute I thought you might have been referring to Alex Higgins' copious Guinness intake, which some of us fans of his have speculated was the thing that enabled him to beat cancer (and everything else wrong with him) for so fuckin' long, and live until the unexpectedly high age of 61. I was a bit baffled there because I was fairly sure I was the only person on this place who was enough of a Higgins fan to think about that one....... turns out I was right. Well anyway, it's certainly a tactic I'll be adopting if ever diagnosed with life-threatening cancer of any kind.

On this day in 1989, the infamous serial killer Ted Bundy was put to death in Florida....... .......about 10 years after he was found guilty of murdering numerous women who he had charmed and seduced. He blamed pornography for turning him into a psychopath. He went via the electric chair.
