We get the point.

And do we really care if they died a whole month or week ago? Next we'll have a back list of 6 month.

 

If you have a list, why not post them all in one post......

Meaningless increase in postcount?

Lajos Baroti, 91, Hungarian football coach, who had sneaked in as an outsider for 2006 when I found out he was still alive only a week ago. Obviously no longer.

Hungarian Coach dies

 

 

 

When reading the Wikipedia entry for Norman Vaughan, it's clear what caused his swift downfall - he celebrated his 100th birthday on the 18th with a drink of champagne, his first ever drink. Just five days later... dead. Just like George Best, drink killed him :P

 

Maybe Brooke Astor could be persuaded to sip from the same champagne bottle.... ;)

The lesson is of course clear.

 

Start drinking in college, because you can't start when you're 100.

All of that information can be read off of Wiki's Recent Deaths pages. None of it has been late breaking, it's been on there for days.

 

For some unexplainable reason, he just feels like increasing his postcount/presence perhaps?

 

Perhaps he is planning on introducing a hypno-avatar to seduce us to the dark side?

Crpl. Prof Harold Lawton died on Christmas Eve, aged 106. One of the last remaining WWI veterans, he was also an academic & was on Hitler's shortlist of people to kill if Hitler had won the war due to Lawton's outspoken criticism of Hitler.

 

Lawton was on my DDP 2006 list & I must admit my substitute isn't as strong, so I'm hoping another one will go so I can try & bump in someone really strong.

 

 

 

 

 

Former England & Spurs keeper Ted Ditchburn is also dead, at 84, by the way.

 

 

 

 

Ooh, it also appears guitarist Derek Bailey died on Christmas Day.
