The Dead Of 2008

Recommended Posts

Struggling with your logic there, Banshees. <_<

 

Li Guoxing, who was one of the first people in the world to receive a face transplant has died. Actually, he died in July, but his death has only just been reported...maybe they didn't recognise the body.

James Bevel has died.

Good. I was hoping that he would die earlier today so he could free a spot up. It worked out. <_<

A spot for what or who? You perhaps Barney?

 

Quite honestly Barney if you plan to tell us about freeing up of spots, even yyour liver spots, then give us the details old man. We desire and demand-----neigh, require-----details, blooduy f...ing deathtails.

 

You was once so good, you'd come here and tell of your latest dreams about people croaking, choking, even soaking (must not ever forget the drowner deaths) but now you leave little blibbits of odddness.

I hope this one is a wiki hoax. I met the man a few years ago when he came to the island to give a talk. He was very warm and witty.

Edit - Only link so far seems to be from the Socialist Worker, which I trust less than wiki

Bastard about Bevel, that's my DDP and HPDP line ups needing a quick change.

Actor Paul Scofield is dead. Link to come...

I'm not surprised. He didn't look too clever in Martin Chuzzlewit. Fine actor, big loss.

Superb actor. Just saw the BBC tribute programme. The best thing about him was the not giving a f**k attitude; he turned down major parts to have a normal life with his family and his dogs, and he never cared a fig. Acting for its own sake and a normal life, that's the spirit. If only others would learn.

Bad luck DDT - I must admit he was an excellent pick, although I am very sad he has gone - a true "blood & guts" footballer.

 

I'm just switching to the DDP computer in a minute, so if you haven't done so already DDT, just let me know a new sub - your current sub is in the team.

The "earth" part of her name stands out now.

 

And it's also suitable that she died on Christmas, considering "Santa Baby".

One of (I believe) three women to play Catwoman on the Batman TV show form the 60's. She also enjoyed a revival of sorts in the late 1990's when hers was the recorded voice encouraging passengers to buckle up whenever they boarded a New York city taxi.

If Hope has died what Faith do we have left?

Disclaimer: Sorry Han if you had a twin thread (I couldn't find it!) and sorry for sounding like one of our alumni who post random BBC deaths but I just could resist a stoopid pun.

 

I'm afraid faith died on Christmas Day. (stupid pun #1)

 

Faith no more. (stupid pun #2)

Fraserburgh's branch of Woolworths died today.

 

The good news for the townspeople is that they will all become richer, as there is nowhere else in the town for them to spend their money.
