Like my mum always used to say when I wanted something all the other kids already had 20 of - you'll have to wait til Christmas. (No violin music please) Deadpools work by the year, you have to sign up at the end of year with who you think will die in 2016, etc. So the cutoff for sending names in is usually Dec. 31. The main one around here is the Derby Dead Pool. Ignore the fact that the current winning guy has only American TV anchormen on his list and your bafflement as to how they are "famous". Everyone's getting sick of that and we're probably gonna change the rules for next year.

On June 8th 1845 - the 7th president of the US, Andrew Jackson, died aged 78. He was a lot harder than he looks btw, he was a general or something, plus he once killed a guy in one of those old-timey pistol duels. Presumably the duel was called because the guy made fun of him for looking like Peter Cushing. Oh also, apparently some guy named Muhammad died on this day in 632. Never heard of him but ....... har-har anyway!

Who the fucks garden party was that? Andrew Gilligan?

I've only ever seen one scene from SlapShot. Can you guess what it is? The one where a girlie gets undressed?

Oh for fuck's sake I'm in joint 42nd. Don't wan attention from Douglas Adams obsessives.....

Bet those gay marriage opponents feel stupid now don't they? http://www.theguardian.com/society/2015/mar/28/convicted-murderers-become-first-gay-couple-to-marry-in-prison

Yeah, looking like a busker

Weird, I swear I was watching him on Question Time only a few weeks back. Glad to see he's doing better now though.

C'mon RadGuy, it's multiples of 5 or otherwise we would post not only a ghastly pile of obits daily, but the same ghastly pile of obits every year. Look at all the other posts -- multiples of 5. SC Calm the fuck down, you sound like a cross between Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory and David Starkey during a particularly bad hemorrhoid outbreak. Anyway.... some more June 1st deaths In 1868, James Buchanan, US president from 1857-1861. His inaction on the issue of slavery is sometimes blamed for the eventual civil war. On June 1st 1960, Hitler's sister........ Paula (LOL) died age 64. Last surviving member of his family apparently. Paula Hitler. And Austrian racing driver Jo Gartner was killed when he violently crashed at about 2 in the morning on June 1st, during the 1986 Le Mans 24 hour race. He had half a season in F1 in 1984, driving an uncompetitive Osella car.

He should have tried shouting "Order! Order!" at his own cardio-vascular system.

They've been re-showing a thing called "Inside the Medieval Mind" on BBC4 recently, with this moderately dull chappy who looks like a heterosexual version of Stephen Fry presenting/narrating. Part 1, "Knowledge", was unintentionally hilarious for the first half - cos it focused on "myths" and wacky things/creatures people claimed to have seen back then. Some of the stuff these medieval peasants came up with was pretty funny. One particular little part had me seriously pissing myself, especially cos of the surreal brief "reconstruction"/imagining - I don't wanna give too much away but if anyone sticks it on iPlayer I think you'll probably be able to guess. Part 2 is "Sex"..... so... lots of potential there too probably.

To be fair there's probably a lot less dogging action at your average lock though =/

Er.... fun? cripes, GAG. do you like, re-enact your fave car park scenes from 70s movies? ......to think people tell me I need to get out more =/

Yes. i think you meant to write "Terry Nation, who died in 1997," (I knew that but yer average surfer probably doesn't...) Anyway, re: Tom Baker. I realised the other day, while browsing Wiki........ both Troughton and Pertwee died while in the US. (And now you mentioned him, Terry Nation too.) So, if you're superstitious, maybe the trick for Baker is to keep away from there. He's about the last person I can see voluntarily getting on a plane to Yankland anyway if you ask me.

Well I looked up the first name and it was Daniel Zeichner so I was gonna go with "Most Jewish-sounding MPs" but then the 2nd down was a Scottish constituency so forget it. I "give up" (as though I cared anyway). No wait, it's a Labour guy at the top then half the rest must be SNP, is it MPs with most recorded death threats to Netanyahu?

Indeed. While I suppose two people can be half-siblings and stepsiblings at the same time, the words express two quite different concepts. While we're on the subject: Dutch has no word for sibling. The concept is expressed as "broer of zus". Similarly, Dutch isn't particularly good at expressing family relations beyond first cousin ("neef" or "nicht", Dutch has different words for male and female cousins). Fine gradations like third cousin twice removed cannot be expressed in Dutch, such relations are folded in the words "achterneef" or "achternicht". To complicate matters, the words "neef" and "nicht" are also used for nephew and niece. Finally a question: my grandmother was born from her father's second marriage, who remarried after becoming a widower. From the first marriage she had a few half-siblings. Her father died when she was 10 or so, and her mother remarried and had children with her second husband as well, also half-siblings of my granny. The children of her father's first marriage and of her mother's second weren't half-siblings. Dutch has no word to express such a relation. Does English? If I follow you correctly (and as a former lawyer, I have experience of decoding instructions!) - not as far as I am aware. The children of father's first and mother's second are not related by blood or marriage in any way (the mother's remarriage reclassifying said mother as a former stepparent) and as such would have been free to inter-marry if they so desired. Legally they are no relation, though they would be free to describe themselves for familial purposes on an informal basis howsoever they choose. Whoah.......... jeez. *chill passes across the forum* That explains why you can afford to be on here at early hours of the morning then. Do you need a new limo driver or golf caddy? (gizzajob!)

He was discharged a couple of days ago. So "Canada food shortage" headlines any day now.

You mean the one who authored that book I mentioned last year? That's a key point otherwise it looks like we would get excited over some random bodyguard.....I thought it rang a faint bell with me! Nothing came up on my search, apologies for not quoting you. *humbled by DrZ* Well done DrZ It's telling in that if true and if any connection, Fidel still wields some power and thus not as close to his demise as suspected. Whether a connection exists who knows. SC If it was retribution for writing that book.... doesn't necessarily mean anything about Fidel's health. Just means he might have a soulmate in the White House...? (conspiracy background music) Anyway, I would guess against it. 66 is an okay age for a blue-collar type who lived in a Commie country, and his constant proximity to the world's smuggest cloud of cigar smoke makes him like the dictatory equivalent of Roy Castle. (p.s. Willz I wasn't complaining cos I didn't get "quoted", just a bit annoyed at the vagueness that's all)

Let me just go and mortage my er.... CD collection

What odds would you give me on 1998?

It was a big anniversary if TE's death last week, 80th I'd imagine. Factoid is that motorcycle helmets were invented because of death....true dat. Weird, we were just discussing fellows dying from too much helmet, now not enough..... (p.s. probably an overrated guy too. maybe it's just the film makin me say that.)

Being horribly immobile and unable to remember anything? Are they sure it wasn't just the effects of watching Lawrence of Arabia?

What about Kenny Everett and the other AIDS victims. Is that really so natural?The way it takes people out is so brutal it seems more akin to some biological weapon to me... (whether you wanna believe in conspiracies or not). I think this is a bit of a stretch. Not as much as an Australian playing a genius, but still. As far as I know Dr, no one has ever died of 'AIDS'...they die of other things. Yeah... "other things" they probably wouldn't have developed if they didn't have AIDS........ e.g. their eyes might fall out if they were rollin them as hard as I am right now. Since it mostly comes after wild amounts of unprotected sex I'm gonna call it misadventure, so screw ya. Fuck Wikipedia anyway, they don't even have Al Gore on their list of conmen. Or Michael Moore on their list of mountains. Or Al Gore on their list of mountains.
