Banshees Scream 110 Posted July 12, 2008 Tony Snow, the former White House press secretary during the Bush administration has succumb to cancer. Congratulations to those who selected him. I was bidding on his-fall to be in 2009 but it's clear I underestimated the extremity of his illness. DevonDeathTrip now extends his lead by nine points and .. "Do you think you will be our 2008 DDP champion?" How confident are you? I would say that with Tony Snow croaking there are now very few who will be able to reach your position. I only see Godot-Canadian Paul- and myself "In the long run ... " who might have a chance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Octopus of Odstock 2,194 Posted July 15, 2008 The Telegraph, now it updates overnight like The Times has brought a few deaths to the fore first - Spriggs, Lloyd (who, I quite agree should have got more reviews - but did the BBC even report Spriggs' death?) and now another name from Television - Bryan Cowgill - TV executive & a pivotal name in televised sport. He was 81. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
