Not necessarily. Here's another "early stroke sufferer": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Tavener Dickie O's stroke was serious to the point of leaving him in need of sheltered accomodation several years ago, though. There hasn't been much evidence of improvement. He can walk, talk etc. but everything is in slow motion. So, he's clearly coming from much further back than Taverner was. I think you probably misread. I wasn't saying "he'll be fine"...

It's true. He's dead http://www.tmz.com/2015/02/23/ben-woolf-dead-dies-american-horror-story-hit-by-car/ Lots of good material here. 1) "[TMZ was] told Ben's organs are being donated and will help about 50 people" Do they for into normal size people? Who wants a mini-kidney? 2) It's gonna be tough beating this for strangest death of 2015 "dwarf gets hit and killed by vehicle side view mirror while crossing the road". Sir C What about other midgets? Verne Troyer used to be a raging alchie, he might need a liver transplant at some point. I think Old Man Ecclestone* might suffer some sudden organ failure from shock, if/when F1 goes his-daughter's-tits-up some time this season (which I'm highly anticipating). *You don't know who that is. But we don't know who the legendary Chippy "The Torque" de Torquemada (or whatever his name is) was either so, y'know, swings and roundabouts

More like Mary Pops-out then?

Oh dear. Poor guy I think he's approaching "The Final Frontier". Whether it will be as painful as watching that movie I don't know.

I think that's supposed to be a parody site genius.

I was thinking about this last night, my theory is they actually have captive the original funny Jim Carrey - you know the one who seems to have disappeared a long time ago. And he entertains them to no end with his zany antics, just like that African tribe in the 2nd Ace Ventura movie.... so they don't want to let him go and anytime someone approaches the island they think it's "da white man" coming to get him back. p.s. Mind providing a Wiki link next time for stuff like that? Or at least telling us where it is..... (I took care of it)

I think it means he can't be bothered to fly all the way to LA just to see a gormless-faced, 30-year-old lost child pick up a golden statue for playing "him" in such a piece of crap film.

I've always loved "bought the farm". Also.. how about "Living-challenged". "Kicked the oxygen habit"? "Cashed in his chips" He's been "returned to sender"... "Wearing a pine overcoat" "Off the critical list" Gone to meet Jesus Gone for a Burton Bitten the dust etc.

Boo fucking hoo..... at least he wasn't a cancer research campaigner. Then we could all actually feel bad about "predicting their demise". That's been part of the DDP (or at least part of it for the "winners") for a few years now (*vaguely motions in "our" champion's direction*). But you feel bad about some rapper despite that? If you had said "The rise of radical, frothing-at-the-mouth fundamentalism all around the world, while we live with the delusion that it is only limited to about a dozen guys tooling around a small part of Iraq in a couple of Toyota pick-ups, makes me feel stupid for sitting here playing this game, or any other game for that matter" I might have agreed.

I could have sworn there was a Sky news "reporter" (lol) named Martin Penny. But I googled it and nothing came up. =/ Well anyway......... when we was all 10 & 11 me and a couple of friends used to kick each other in the balls a lot....... er, that's all I guess.

Aye, but will be still be revolving at 45 (a grim joke that only those old enough to have bought vinyl singles will get). It's the Vinyl Countdown!

Writer Hunter S. Thompson died on Feb 20th 2005 after shooting himself in the head.

Git Illustrates Gormless Opinion?

How many of these celebs even have radars and why would they sit under them instead of on a nice chair?

The usually-annoying US website Cracked has this decent list of "everyday" items that cause more death and injury than you think. Although some of them aren't that everyday for many people (icicles for instance). Number 2 is utter shit though. http://www.cracked.com/photoplasty_1308_19-everyday-things-you-wont-believe-can-kill-you-dead/

I suspect that the process has become more streamlined in recent years and there was no internet as such so research probably consisted of seeing who looked a bit rough last time they were on telly or who hadn't been around for a few years. He looked great a little while back on The One Show. You wouldn't guess he was 90. As much as I'm reluctant to bash "the committee" (or anyone else) for not watching that....... this was probably a bad choice.

You really like the old-time film actors don't ya? I agree it looks twatty btw. It's probably just ignorance.... which may be the father of heartlessness.... or summat.

Changed our tune have we?

Very brave of the Coventry Telegraph there to take on the frightening religion of Christianity. We all know how they'll break into your offices and shoot you if you mess with them! Oh wait that's the other one.......

Yeah you're right if there's anyone out there twisted enough to derive entertainment from British TV, it's Brady. Also, since he's contacting Channel 5 can we safely say he's not seeking an audience any more?

Yes, I noticed. Moving the right posts isn't an exact science. Want them moved back? regards, Hein I only wanted you to move the ones from the political frailty thread... should have said.

He looks really weak in this interview for World Cancer Day: (can we get the posts about him put into his own thread?) And he seems very humble now.... I'm 3 minutes into the video and he hasn't lit up any drugs or belly-bounced the interviewer chick off her feet yet. (Thanks MH.... although you moved two of my posts from the DDP 2014 thread!)

The man's practically at death's door to start with. If two chancers left him alive what kind of "thugs" are they? I was half expecting the intruders to be deathlisters after a potential first hit. An interesting thought: if Gabor outlives Anhalt for some reason, who becomes her caregiver? Haven't we had enough of those jokes for a while? And besides some pea-brained donut-chomper out there who's just finished watching "The Dead Pool" will probably think you are being serious one day....

Sam died peacefully on Feb 12th. Now he's dead can I point out his name was actually Sam Andrew? Sam Houston was an American patriot back in the powdered wig days or something... Also apparently he died after complications of open heart surgery. Y'know, as opposed to closed heart surgery where you operate on it without opening anything up?
