Phantom 2,533 Posted August 3, 2006 Philip D'Arcy Hart, has died.He was a medical researcher of some sort. Dick or Iain, whatever your name is.. if Philip D'arcy Hart was a medical researcher or some sort he can hardly be construed as being a near miss. I don't know about anyone else, but I personally have never heard of him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Oates 21 Posted August 3, 2006 Elisabeth Schwarzkopf iain already posted it, though admittedly I respect your skepticism For some reason, I looked at these earlier posts and failed to fully absorb their content; perhaps I just don't believe iain exists any more! Apologies to Phantom, though. Let's hope this is the first sign of a reformed iain. The controversial Dame Elisabeth is also a unique pick on Hartlepool.

Anubis the Jackal 77 Posted August 3, 2006 (edited) Elizabeth Schwarzkopf (aka Betty Blackhead) was actually quite well known, and famously, when on 'Desert Island Discs' chose only her own recordings, the self-important old Nazi. ignoring that remark,the famouss singer Elizabeth Schwarpozf has died aged 90.She was very famous in gErmany apparently,but i have neverheard of her. edit.

Octopus of Odstock 2,197 Posted August 5, 2006 Both are unique hits on the DDP though, including one that will shoot our very own John's A Legendary Donut up closer to the top of the scoreboard. Is a family notice enough? The trouble is, it's not a very stable online link, but a cast-iron obit in print. Either way, I think there will probably be an obit in the Times at some stage in the next week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Either way, I think there will probably be an obit in the Times at some stage in the next week. Philip D'Arcy Hart certainly should get a broadsheet obitituary, but just in case I've taken a screen capture of the paid for announcement. The DDP rules just state that the obituary must be in a UK national newspaper, so it should count. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ah, well done that man! The reason I asked was Miura's death was briefly mentioned in the breaking news of the Times online paper, but never evolved into an obituary, and I was worried with a lack of a stable link, the same for P D'AH. But, as you say, this should all be moot some time next week, I expect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Octopus of Odstock 2,197 Posted August 7, 2006 England's oldest living player is Septimus (Sep) Smith , who was 94 in March. Not any more he isn't. Sep Smith RIP. Phil Taylor, who's on my DDP list, is now the oldest, for anyone interested in an alternative possibilty to the mainstream suggestions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
