VSBfromH 74 Posted November 21, 2008 Lady Gertrude Bliss (wife of composer Sir Arthur Bliss) died this morning at the age of 104. Subject to the customary nerve-wracking wait for an obituary, this may be my FIRST AND ONLY DDP HIT OF THE YEAR! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Bliss Well done Youth! My, being the wife of a prominent composer / conductor seems to promote longevity, although there seems to have been a recent trend: the wives of Vaughan-Williams (96), Barbirolli (97), Milhaud (105) and now Bliss (104) have all succumbed in the last couple of years. Maybe we need to check if there are any more candidates out there... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Banshees Scream 110 Posted November 22, 2008 In August. It was an easy mistake to make. Anyway, Rashid Rauf who was linked to a plot which would have involved blowing up jetliners across the Atlantic is believed to have been killed in a missile attack near the Afghan border earlier today. Abu Zubair al-Masri was mentioned as a target but there isn't any confirmation of his demise just yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Octopus of Odstock 2,218 Posted November 23, 2008 Number 15 in my 2009 DDP team, John Michael Hayes, has died, aged 89. Dammit. I put him in, one as he would probably have been an unique hit & secondly, in a DVD documentary about Rear Window, he looked incredibly frail. But alas, 50 days early, he has gone. Not many news obits (only Blogs) so maybe it's a good thing he's died in 2008 as a result. Ah well, promotion for General Jaruzelski then..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
