    Well, I survived the bird flu scare in Scotland a few months ago...

     

    Not exactly a holiday other than 'away from the interweb' but I'll be disappearing next Tuesday and reappearing sometime later, posting not from God's Own County but from the Heathen South. So expect loads of exciting deaths while I'm not able to be near a computer... :skull:

    And I think they should keep TOTP2.

    That was scrapped when that knobcheese Andi Peters took over. They should bring it back.

     

    I wonder what will happen to the other TOTPs around the globe? They were all built on the BBC brand.

    Oh and Bobby Farrell (also of Boney M fame) is from Aruba

    And I'm sure would get a UK obit.

     

    Also from Aruba is Dave Benton, 2001 Eurovision winner (representing Estonia along with Tanal Padar) so would probably get a mention somewhere. Also, trivia fans, the first black person to win Eurovision.

    Lastly, if England do wins the World Cup, I fear that my worst nightmare will become a reality...Sir David and Lady Victoria Beckham. It doesn't bear thinking about, does it?

    Very good point. *starts waving Sweden flag* swedenflag.gif

    I heard that Steven Stills has become so addled by legal and illegal narcotics over the years that he is convinced that he saw action in Vietnam in the '60s. Confirm / deny anyone?

    I don't know whether he is still claiming such but he certainly used to say in the coke-addled 70s and 80s that he was in 'Nam.

     

    As for Crosby looking like a " beached whale crossbred with Death", he's looked like that for at least the last 20 years. Good for at least a few more years I'd say. Will probably outlive the rest of The Byrds.

    I wouldn't call it a bad miss

     

    Neither would I. Putting terrorists on a list is always a gamble as there's often so much misinformation about their whereabouts and whether they're alive or dead. al-Zarqawi has been pronounced dead a few times... and just how many times has bin Laden died? Unless there's proof - pictures that are definitely the real thing - then most of the time it's just speculation to co-incide with Dubya/Blair (lack of) popularity polls.

    Brain Granville still writes a monthly column for World Soccer magazine, mind you the picture they use seems to be from thirty years ago. I always wondered how old he was as most of his anecdotes seem to be about players in the fifties. Mid-seventies apparently.

    I'll ask him next time I speak to him. He's a completely rude prick (one of the most disliked people at my work) so I'll mention that we're discussing him on a forum about death.

     

    Dunno about a picture of him but from his voice I'd have put him at mid-60s.

    I do have to question her mental state, given that she's defending Wacko Jacko and his kiddie escapades.

    She has been for years. I remember in the Jacko Oprah interview there was a filmed insert with Liz claiming: "Michael Jackson is the sanest person I know." :banghead:

    I'm a bit surprised that he hasn't been offed yet, given all the attacks. Might be a fun one to have on the DL. :banghead:

    I'd like to see him publicly flogged in Bradford's Centenary Square. Would be a nice day out.

     

    I might do a ghoulish drive-by and take some pics of his old house tomorrow if the weather's nice.

    And with Kenny Kendall being 82 & Richie B 81 they could cop it soon...

    Kenneth Kendall still gets out and about occasionally. Haven't heard anything about Richard Baker for years and years however.

     

    Other than the misspelling, great username you have there. Welcome!

     

    I remember Leonard Parkin copping it - it gave YTV an excuse to knock 'Prisoner Cell Block H' off the schedules for a few weeks (not that they needed any excuses *blithers on in incoherent fashion for the next 100 years*)

    she finds herself more and more confused. Liz wakes up sometimes and really does not know where she is and she's scared."

    Yeah but she was like that when she was on the pills and booze...

     

    I'm taking this latest report of ill health with a huge pinch of salt...

    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.

    Oddly he's the brother of long deceased (by his own hand) radical writer B.S. Johnson. Bet their fraternal conversations were surreal.

    BS Johnson being Bryan Johnson of Eurovision 'Looking High High High' fame of course. Neither of them could complain that one did better than the other though as they both came second.

    Due to post-Eurovision comedown after Saturday night I had a look at past contestants who may be going to the great Song Contest in the sky sooner rather than later. Of course, most probably won't get an obit over here but there are a few that I'd be surprised won't be mentioned in the press when God decides their douze points are up and may be worth a look:

    Lys Assia (b. 1926). First winner of Eurovision 50 years and 1 day ago exactly. Despite her age she's in fine fettle and pops up occasionally on ESC-related programmes, most recently the 'Congratulations' programme that the Beeb didn't decide to show here in the UK. Survived a vicious attack when her apartmernt was burgled a few years ago so is obviously made of stern stuff.

    Pearl Carr (b. 1923). Of 'Sing Little Birdie' fame. Could possibly already be dead but don't recall hearing anything.

    Corry Brokken (b. 1932). One for our Dutch Deathlisters. Won once, and might get a UK obit because she hosted the Contest in 1976 when Brotherhood Of Man won.

    Nana Mouskouri (b. 1934). Getting on a bit but looked in rude health last Saturday so I can't imagine we'll be wiping the tears off our oversized glasses just yet.

    Udo Jurgens (b. 1934). Still recording and touring but is getting on a bit.

    Kenneth McKellar (b. 1927). In 1966 when the rest of Europe were sending cutesy France Gall clones, the UK decided to enter... a man in a kilt. Will certainly get an obit due to being a major man of Scottish song rather than any Eurovision 'achievements'.

    Rudi Carrell (b. 1934). Already mentioned on here I believe. Suffering from lung cancer and prognosis not good. Not sure he'd get a UK obit but if Monica Zetterlund can then I can't see why not.

    Freddy Quinn (b. 1931). One of the first German-language pop stars. Massive in the 50s and early 60s, he's sort of the equivalent of the Austrian-Germanic Cliff Richard (only without the 'edginess' *cough*).

    Katie Boyle (b. 1926). Getting on a bit and we don't see her much on TV these days. She hasn't even popped up in a Eurovision-related programme for a while. Perhaps she's never got over being manhandled by Guildo Horn back in Brum in '98.

    News of a few others who probably won't get a UK obit but maybe of interest to some anyway:

    Riki Sorsa (Finnish Rod Stewart lookalike from 1981 who wore a nasty yellow and pink jumpsuit and sang a crap reggae song) has been diagnosed with cancer.

    Vice Vukov (b. 1936) - represented Yugoslavia in 1963/1965. Was elected to the Croatian parliament and became ambassador to Switzerland, so his political stature might just give him an obit. Last November he fell down the parliamentary building stairs and sustained a serious head injury. Apparently his chances of recovery are even slimmer than Ariel Sharon's, being in a persistive vegatative state.
