Stop press - the trial's just been halted on health grounds... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/3865573.stm Damn those pesky judges! It's outrageous that someone accused of genocide should actually have to stand trial for it.

Those graphics are almost ZX Spectrum quality! So how do you get past level 5 then?

Yep, I'm afraid you're down to 4th, due to TiM r's strategy of picking people who are famous only for being old! Am just about to go out, but will update the site tomorrow or Sunday.

If he's out on his little balcony when you get there, can you burst a couple of balloons or let some fireworks off or something? He's my joker in this year's deadpool...thanks!

B*gger. I had Buckeridge in my team in 2002. Can't remember why I dropped him now.

What, out of 4 billion people in the world, more than 50% of them can speak Swedish? Remarkable. I can though - the Swedish chef off Sesame Street taught me everything I know. Hurdy blurdy bork bork kommunismus.

Just looking absolutely haggard and a lot less agile than he used to be, apparently. He also had a thyroid cancer scare a couple of years ago.

Limited-Slip Differential for the car anoraks amongst us. Or the old abbreviation for pounds, shillings and pence, though I think AH may be a few hundred years too young to have invented them.

http://www.wagenschenke.ch/ Move your mouse to the left when he starts to stagger to the right, and vice versa. 68m is my best so far.

Yech, I think we need a puking smiley. Isn't blind faith great? She's spent her life spreading the word of God, in return he gives her a particularly nasty form of cancer, and still she praises him.

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005348/ (And no, I'd never heard of him either!)

Something of an understatement there, GR. I assume this is the thread in question? Playground insults and glorification of rape would seem to be the order of the day on the Libertines forum then. Suddenly our idle speculation over Mr Doherty's state of mind doesn't look so sick after all.

True, but then again he has kept himself in good shape over the years with all that running. He definitely ran the London Marathon in 2003, but I can't find any record of him taking part in '04...hmmm...I wonder...

He's 76, and now back on telly, I notice. I reckon the large-chinned one has got a few years left in him yet.

Goodness gracious, goodness gracious, guys and gals, Weird Uncle Jimmy is now 77 and lives on his own in Leeds. I'm not aware of him having any particular health problems. Eaeh eh eaeh eh! (Actually, a thought's just struck me...we used to laugh at his tracksuits and bling jewellery in the '70s, but looking at what the yoof of today are wearing, wasn't he just ahead of his time??)

Very moving indeed! BTW, it would appear that weatherman90 is all of 13 years old: http://weatherman90.tripod.com/ And Mr Wadin Wesslén is 15 (or maybe 17 by now, as it looks like this page was last updated in 2002): http://www.groll.nu/egotripp/formular/person117.htm ...so not old enough to remember Reagan or Communism respectively. Still, why let that get in the way of a good rant, eh boys? Carry on...

(weatherman90 scurries off to look in an atlas for these 'Canada' and 'France' places of which you speak...)

It was a fair question from Mr The Squid. Get a sense of perspective - Nancy Reagan is only a former First Lady of a single one of the world's 193 countries, which is home to not much more than 5% of our planet's population; it's just that many inhabitants of that country have a blinkered tendency to forget that there's anything outside their borders. Hell, this isn't even an American website. Could you name the widow of a former President of any other country?

How random that an elderly Cockney soap actress is a patron of a Thai rehab clinic run by monks. And how ironic that June Brown has been picked in the DDP... [b*ll*cks, must remember to log in after clearing out cookies...- fixed now Rude Kid - GR]

HIV is a virus which weakens the immune system, and if it continues to do so beyond a certain point (something to do with the measurable amount of immune cells left in the body), it's officially classified as AIDS. But with modern drugs, HIV/AIDS sufferers can survive for 20+ years, making them an unreliable choice for dead pools.

Interesting list there. Whoever compiled it really doesn't like rock stars, do they? "They DIE in youth, and their life is among the unclean"?? Sheesh. I also like this quote: Er...apart from the fact that rock 'n' roll hasn't been around long enough for any of its stars to die of old age yet.

He was the husband of Princess Juliana, who was on your list until she popped her clogs recently. His full name is Bernhard Leopold Friedrich Eberhard Julius Kurt Karl Gottfried Peter zu Lippe-Biesterfeld, which is frankly just unnecessary.

Coming up to 93, has had something like 50 operations over the years for various reasons, and lost his wife a few weeks ago after 60-odd years of marriage...he's got to be on shaky ground. Any updates about his health in the Dutch press lately?

Done - slight delay there due to severe hangover. Bloody inconsiderate of him to die on a Saturday night. You're now joint 3rd - someone who had Ronnie as his joker sneaked up on you.
