    Near misses 2006

    I think the only person I'd want to see at Leeds less than Dennis Wise is Paul Ince. That's it, Ken Bates is going on my DDP list for 2007. Purely wishful thinking of course...

    The Osmonds

    Bit of an update - Little Jimmy Osmond was on Radio 2 this afternoon and said that Alan, who has MS, "really isn't too well" at the moment, and he didn't sound very positive at all. Do we have a Mormon version of ?

    Just call me Mystic Meg (7th paragraph down), and no you can't have this week's lottery numbers.

    I'm sure his mind is as sharp as ever but he looked decrepit, even more so than usual.

    Near misses 2006

    Sandy West died yesterday, that's another potential DDP selection gone. I wonder if she will get a UK obit. Oh balls, that's really sad. I'm a huge Runaways fan and I'm pretty gutted about the news, but it did seem inevitable. I reckon she will get a UK obit, The Runaways were too important a band for her not to.

    I don't find the picture offensive: seen it loads of times as it gets posted on Popbitch at least a couple of times a month, and I remember Tardblog as the British media have picked up on it before (I seem to recall the author being on Radio Five's Up All Night a few years back). What I find laughable is that we're discussing taste and decency on a site where posters often wish people dead. Of course anyone with a mentally disabled relative is going to get upset, but then you can take offence at anything if it personally affects you. As for the pathetic term 'learning difficulties', I wish people would just say it as it is for covers far too wide a populus. You wouldn't believe the amount of people who have dealings with Social Services and whose actions are swept under the carpet and excused as 'oh, they have learning difficulties'. You're either mentally disabled or just plain thick. End of. Don't mind me - in a crappy mood due to the football. It's tough being a Leeds fan at the moment

    I beat you to it, Vinegar Tits. John Locke died back in August In that case the search is screwed as I checked before posting Still don't know about it until today mind you...

    Near misses 2006

    While having a thorough read quick skim through this month's Mojo in Tesco, I found out that Spirit keyboardist John Locke has died of lymphoma At this rate Ed Cassidy's going to outlive them all! I'm to put on The Twelve Dreams Of Doctor Sardonicus on in late tribute. Great album.

    Very sad news, millions will miss Dr Wally. Rather surprised he wasn't mentioned before on here - after all, it was known he was ill (the rumour is cancer by the way) and he'd been away from Wake Up To Wogan for quite a while so it was obviuos something was up. It'd be nice if the BBC showed an episode of Wogan's Web in tribute (the one where Pauly got a load of henna tattoos which then caused embarrassment at the golf club perhaps), but I doubt they will. Anyone want to take a bet that the first or last song on WUTW on Monday morning will be Eva Cassidy's version of 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow'?

    It's saying something when even Yoko is more liked than Heather...

    Jane Tomlinson Killer Ride

    Definitely. Paul Hunter was just a snooker player, Jane's the new Queen of Hearts. Unlike so many of the rather mean-spirited people on here, I wish her all the best and hope she continues for a few more years yet - yes, terminal means terminal but it does not necessarily mean 'dead soon'. Fraud or not (and I really don't believe she is a fraud - there are easier ways of becoming famous. She could have streaked down The Headrow for instance or shot Christa Ackroyd live on air on Look North), she's done a lot of good in helping fight a disease that will touch the vast majority of us at some point in our lives. However, spread to her liver eh? *Definite* candidate for 2007 then. I used to know someone who, like Jane, started off with breast cancer. Once it spread to her liver she was buggered (not literally ) and died a few months later. If she is visibly and undeniably on her definitely, for sure, no kidding about this time, last legs come two months time she'll be a dead cert for a Damehood I suspect. She's more deserving than some (though I'd personally rather see 'Arise Dame Julie Walters' myself.) Can anyone name any famous bods who have survived it without a transplant? And, for those who died of liver cancer, I wonder what the average life expectancy between diagnosis and death was? When she does go, this site might as well go offline for a bit. No one's going to be able to get on it anyway. It's gonna crash more spectaculatly than all the news sites did on September 11th...

    Apologies if posted already, but here's a recent photo of a certain Mr O'Sullivan (third on the right) looking rather healthy. Paunch and walking stick mind you...

    Paul Hunter

    Nope, some Aboriginal bod called Richard Hunter who was apparently a Ngarrindjeri elder and South Australian citizen of the year. 60 years old.

    Paul Hunter

    Funniest thing I've read in weeks Having read the thread shortly after Paul Hunter potted the black for the last time, the thing that struck me was that it wasn't the regular Deathlisters being particularly insensitive but the drive-by ranters spewing up hate and bile in every post. Odd that.

    Tony Hart

    No, it confirms on Tony Hart's page that they got away on a motorbike. And I'm much more likely to believe Tony Hart than what someone says on here!

    Magnus Magnusson

    Not that I'm bragging or anything, but I queried this way back in May... Posted on: May 30 2006, 08:16 PM I don't know if it means anything but somebody at work has just done an obit for Magnus Magnusson (b 1929). I only know this because she blurted out loudly: "Oh, is he dead then?" I had a quick snifter at it and it does mention something about "while in failing health...". Now obviously for someone as high profile as Mr I've Started So I'll Finish they'd need an obit ready for same day web/next day newspaper publication but maybe he's going to 'pass' fairly soonish. The 'somebody' was me, just in case Melvyn Bragg (who did the obit) visits this place, as we're supposed to be fairly discreet and not asfter putting the phone down go running off to Popbitch or this place. Oops.

    I'm afraid she wouldn't have been a unique pick as she was on my short list for 2007 too. She'd have been a good pick a la Jack Wild (unable to cope with fame at young age, history of drink and drugs, constantly in the Sunday rags throughout the 70s and 80s) but alas t'was not to be.

    Suicidal Celebs

    I don't think Pete Doherty is in any way suicidal. Accidental overdose - perhaps, yer actual suicide - I doubt it. Robbie Williams is a far more likely candidate.

    Richard Whiteley

    For the tone and gentle humour to be just right, there is only one man capable of the job. Arise Sir Terry Wogan. Might be a bit of a problem with Wake Up To Wogan, though God knows he takes enough holidays - and usually when I have the rare chance to tune in , but he knows the ropes having been in the Dictionary Corner plenty of times and he would be perfect.

    Not Exactly Famous...

    One for the Eurovision fans and Norwegians among us... One of Norway's most famous singers, Jan Werner Danielsen, has been found dead in his apartment aged just 30. He represented Norway in 1994 along with the lovely Elisabeth Andreassen with 'Duett'. No cause of death has been announced though the rumour is that it was suicide (he had a history of depression apparently).

    I do wish they'd stop raping the legacy of Queen though. John Deacon has the right idea in my opinion.

    Richard Hammond

    Well, if nothing else, it's attracted a few more drive-by ranters to the place, something that had been distinctly lacking of late. As for the land speed record, doesn't it only officially count if it's been properly recorded? The Hamster apparently did 315mph on a test run before but that won't count as it wasn't the actual attempt. As for his injuries, 'brain injury' is somewhat different to 'brain damage' - you can call a slight bump to the head a 'brain injury' for example. Any actual damage will be assessed in the weeks and months to come, though by what has already been reported it sounds like he's been very lucky indeed. Fantastic article by Sir Jezza C here by the way, well worth a read.

    Ideas and possibilities for 2007

    I'll confirm that rumour as well. Deffo D-notice, though one or two vague hints (problems at home, going through bad time at mo) were made.
  24. Vinegar Tits

    Richard Hammond

    Quite. I'm not sure of the "good spot" as such because if he dies of his injuries it'll almost certainly be in the next few hours/days and so his death won't be of any use to deathlist.net for this year. If he doesn't recover it could take years for him to fade away. However, his accident, and Steve Irwin's recent death, has highlighted that well-known TV personalities who do dangerous things could be worth considering in the future. There's a fair few who do crazy and not-so crazy stunts - not just the Jackass guys - that would only take an accident... If he does die it'll sound the death knell for Top Gear - surely they couldn't continue to make a programme about how fun it is to drive fast when one of the hosts has carked it in exactly that manner. I hope he pulls through personally - a few months ago I did some work for him due to his laptop being kaputt and he was really nice, very funny and brightened up my day no end.

    Richard O'Sullivan

    Third page? *TSK* You'll all be excited to hear that it seems Our Favourite has done a DVD commentary for the forthcoming release of Carry On Teacher. So, it'll be interesting to see whether he sounds like he's at death's door, addled and incoherent or just plain... normal. However, he was unable to attend a plaque unveiling to Thora Hird yesterday because he wasn't very well apparently. So...
