I'm not allowed to tell you how many undertakers there were but I can tell you that I counted them as they carried his coffin into the hearse, and I counted them again all back again as they walked away.

Does anyone know if Michael Ansara is still alive?

Very sad news for Star Trek fans, but how is it the end of an era? Shatner and a lot of the others are still around, it'll be the end of the "era" when the last one of them pops off, I think.

Are you guys making guest-bashing noises because you think it'll make you quickly popular here? I mean, you're both still very new here yourselves..... so..... just know, it's really cheap and I think most users see through it.

In a grim way you have to admire Mugabe. To be still insisting on rigging elections and staying on as Prez when he's pushing 90. I don't meant to sit here and idolise a dictator or anything but it would be great to be 89 and still doing what you were doing at 60. I really hope that's me some day (in a non-dictatory-way).

The Sun (and more crucially, Page3.com) went behind a paywall at midnight. For me, I think this is like the official death of the "first age" of the internet where everything felt (or was) free. Ok it's far from being the first newspaper to go behind a paywall but, it's Page 3 isn't it? Come on. For a lot of guys, a part of them probably died inside and there's probably tons of men out there who are far more disappointed than they would admit. You can no longer access the holy grail of gloriously tacky softcore porn without paying. It costs £86 a year for a subscription to Sun Plus (and probably a lot more if you decide to do it month-by-month.) Which means you can no longer enjoy Page 3 online, no-strings-attached, then forget about it and pretend you're above The Sun. If you wanna access it you've got to commit and I wouldn't stoop to that even if it was only £20 a year. Okay, maybe if it was £10. And yeah, of course I know there's a shit-ton of free softcore (and hardcore) porn out there on the internet but it's not quite the same is it?!

Christ........... Even I wouldn't have said that. I might have thought of it but I wouldn't have said it. Not even here. The fuck's your problem man???!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah but he wasn't black so it wasn't quite as cool/funny as Owens doing it, was it?

Yeah, I read that earlier, good post. Poor guy.

She might still meet with some sort of accident ..... She could get blown away by a hurricane or tornado, that would make for the funniest headlines/Deathlist front-page-entry title ever.

Robert Davi, A+ list? Ok he was great in Die Hard, but come on.....

Well... he outlived this thread, didn't he? Certainly no-one expected that. Everyone seems to have suddenly decided he is immortal. Or they've just run out of tasteless gags. At this point I'd just like to chip in with my latest "prediction" to add to all the other baseless predictions. They keep saying he's improving at the moment. Based on the assumption that they're not lying (and let's face it's that's probably not 100% safe assumption), I think he'll keep "improving" and clearing his lungs or whatever and they'll deem him fit enough to be wheeled back home and propped up in his sofa with 12 very-well-placed cushions again. Then just as he's in the ambulance on the way home his body will just suddenly give up and he'll croak. I managed to predict Murray would beat Djokovic in straight sets (although I didn't have any money on it sadly), I managed to guess the Royal Baby's gender (although that was a coin-toss obviously) so let's see if I can get this one right too, for three-in-a-row.

Hein, I vote that guy as having literally the coolest name in history.

Fernando Alonso is dead. The 98-year-old Cuban ballet dancer, that is. http://en.wikipedia....Alonso_(dancer) EDIT: Whoops, wrong thread.....

There's only about 15 or 20 movies at most that came out after about 1999/2000, that I actually like. So..... yeah - never seen Match Point, probably not gonna see it, as I have never liked a Woody Allen movie out of the one or two I've seen (although I'm willing to give some of his old ones I haven't seen a chance if it they come round on TV or whatever). I can IMAGINE how shit Match Point would be though, (see what I did there?). As there's nothing worse than the work of someone who was new, shiny and trendy decades ago but who is now happy to coast through the rest of their life on their reputation alone. Or thinks they are edgy and fresh, but they are not. There's plenty of other examples other than Woody Allen. *COUGH INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS AND KILL BILL2 COUGH* Oh dear me how can I get such a terrible cough in this piping hot weather? I do actually like movies a lot, though. I just don't post about them in this thread because I don't want to offend people. I don't even like the oh-so-sacred Coen Brothers (in fact I hate them). And my opinions of people who enjoyed (or claim to have enjoyed) the "Dark Knight" films, or any other of all these snooze-tastic comic book movies, often include the phrase "re-education camps" before I start hitting the backspace key. So airing my opinions about movies that lots of people like on a regular basis is not really a good idea. You want a good movie from the mid-2000s that you might not have seen, Harry? Have you seen "Collateral" from 2004? Check it out it's really great IMO.

http://msn.foxsports.com/boxing/story/emile-griffith-dies-age-75-former-champion-072313 Emile Griffith - gay, black boxer who beat Cuban opponent Benny Paret to death in 1962 - has died aged 75 as a result of dementia. If anyone wants to watch the grisly footage, here it is. Skip to about 1:50. Paret really shouldn't have called him a "maricon" (Spanish slang for "Faggot") at the weigh-in/press conference.....

Is it bad that i only knew him from Guy Ritchies Snatch Hahahahaa!

"Is this moron number one? Put moron number two on the phone."

You mean the guy out of the De Niro movie "Midnight Run" (1988) who was always threatening to stab people "through the heart with a fuckin' pencil", and similar stuff like that? Damn...

I think he just had general poor health. Fat, horribly addicted to pills for a time in the mid or late 90s (terrible for the heart), lifelong drinker and tons of late nights according to stuff I've read so far. Gout also.

Yeah, I was reading about him and that timescale bothered/puzzled me even before I found out about the FT thing.

Oh, btw, note to MIB - as the show-runner of DDP, I dunno if you've seen this, but there's actually some confusion about what year Whicker was born in now. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Whicker According to the FT's research he was actually 91 so I guess that might affect points depending on how you call it.

Anyone remember this one? Not particularly Mel-Smithy, but a hilarious slice of Not the Nine O'Clock News nonetheless.

And with that, the first name drops off my big list of potential 2014 names. She can go to hell now and sit around with her hero Yasser Arafat, spitting and hissing about Jews to her heart's content... or whatever she had where most people have a heart.

Very sad news. It's hard to imagine anyone being this sad about most of today's footballers dying, in 50-60 years' time.... I wonder if this could still happen today, or would today's on-field medics immediately be able to detect a broken neck (or suspected break) no matter how "unobvious" it might be to a lay person?
