Canadian Paul 97 Posted June 1, 2009 Canada's oldest Olympian Betty Tannock has died aged 98.... no obituary available as of yet What are you talking about? That IS the obituary that you've linked! Speaking of Olympians, by the way, I've just been told that a rather famous one has just died... but I can't mention who just yet because nothing's been printed... but it will be worth DDP points.

Ra Ra Rasputin 99 Posted June 2, 2009 OR you just can't admit you're wrong and you can't be arsed checking before you post? Can't think of anyone else like that... Anyway...Danny La Rue has died aged 81. He probably has his own thread but I'll be stuffed if I can be bothered with that bloody seach feature. What a drag. Bugger, I remember remarking how old he looked when was on that Norman Wisdom programme last year, then fogot all about him for this year's DDP I'm sure I've mentioned him in the past as a possible "to go on the list", but... Still, if is anything to go by, his spirit lives on in Lauren Harries... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest WEP Posted June 2, 2009 Pedro de Alcántara Gastão João Maria Filipe Lourenço Humberto Miguel Gabriel Rafael Gonzaga de Orléans e Bragança, The Titular Emperor Of Brazil and 3rd Prince of Orleans-Braganza, has died at the age of 94. The late Emporor's grandson Prince Pedro Luís Maria José Miguel Rafael Gabriel Gonzaga de Orléans-Bragança e Ligne is one of those suspected to have died on the Air France jet which vanished somewhere in the Atlantic yesterday. Was this by any chance the same plane that killed this guy? German architect Moritz Kock (54) died on Air France Flight 447, after visiting Oscar Niemeyer. Both met to speak about a swimmimg pool, which will be buildt in Potsdam near Berlin. After inviting Niemeyer to Germany, Kock decided ti visit him in Brazil. The ancient Brazilian architekt did not like to fly. (Now he know's, why!) http://www.bild.de/BILD/news/2009/06/02/ai...-architekt.html Yes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VSBfromH 74 Posted June 3, 2009 Eric Hammond The former leader of the Electricians Union died on Saturday aged 79. Noted for being one of the most right-wing of union leaders, he paved the way for Rupert Murdoch's News International's controversial move to Wapping and was regularly invited for tea and biccies at No. 10 by Mrs. Snatch-Milker. Following the recent death of Ken Gill, maybe it's time we had a "Union Leaders" therad (or have we already got one?). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A bit late now but Lawrence Daly, the leader of the National Union of Mineworkers, died the same day as Ken Gill. That's 3 in 7 days.... Thatcher sure is winning the war.... no doubt Scargill will finish her off though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted June 5, 2009 President Joao Bernardo Vieira of Guinea Bissau assassinated. http://news.theage.com.au/breaking-news-wo...90302-8mc6.html The army are taking control in Guinea Bissau. Months after President Viera was hacked to death by some angry soldiers, Baciro Dabo, a close ally of the deceased President and a candidate in the upcoming elections, has been shot dead by the army, who suspected him of plotting a coup. Also suspected to have come to a sticky end is the former Prime Minister Faustino Fudut Imbali who was "taken away" by soldiers this morning. I doubt he'll be home for tea.
