Megrahi Vs. Gibb

[Falkekopf 50]

I just heard yesterday Gibb is going back on tour with Zsa Zsa on drums,Biggs on Bass and Mehragi on rhythm guitar.

 

Dunn fulfilling the Bez role, obviously.

 

Now if Stevie Wonder could drive the tour bus........

[Der Stadt 6]

Mehragi his little plane job could have come down very close to my parts* of the land .

Don't think he should get Virgins,don't think Virgin Atlantic where around then.

The Gibb guy should last longer that stupid advert is keeping people on their toes

and if he can talk they will pump him up real good.

A double act that's interesting.

[Red Flag 84]

And the winner is...

[Paul Bearer 6,102]

Looks like 9 of us were right.

[Falkekopf 50]

I think Megrahi will last a little longer but I've got a feeling Gibb won't see the week out.

 

Doh!

[Youwanticewiththat 611]

A win for Gibb. But...take off the funny blue specs...add a cowl and a scythe...looks a bit familiar.

[themaninblack 2,112]

I'm sure both will be in the winner's enclosure come the summers end...

I was FRAMED,framed i never did nothing a wiz Frammmmmmeda.

[Toast 16,140]

Topic closed.

Closer than the EPL title race.

[Lady Grendel 139]

Topic reopened temporarily. Both deaths have been announced on the same day, while I think it is likely in this day and age with the instant media we have that Megrahi died first, until time of death for both are announced I will keep this open, often press statements on deaths are held back for a few hours..

[RIP Wee Jum 1,559]

Very closely run contest

[Whitehouse 872]

Surprisingly close race it was!

 

BBC obit.

[the_engineer 1,415]

2 deaths in one day a very rare for the deathlist .

[Youth in Asia 1,087]

will it be possible to know for sure which of them actually died first?

[MightyMoose 10]

In the interests of the politically correct - There can be no loser..... so we should call this a Dead Heat.

[Phantom 2,533]

I'm wondering if either of them knew we were pitting the two against each other.

[Guest Cunt Bear]

Oh, I think Robin knew allright....

[Whitehouse 872]

Has there ever been a day like this in Deathlist history?? Two deaths within 8 hours?

[msc 18,466]

The 2002 spate of deaths rivals it, I think. 2 hits by the end of March (Chuck Jones and Spike Milligan) no doubt cause the tongues of whatever passed for the equivalent of internet trolls in those days wagging.

 

Then on the 27th March, news breaks that both Dudley Moore AND Milton Berle had both died. Before the obits are even freshly off the press for either, news comes in the next day that Billy Wilder is gone. No hits on the third day, which was just a teaser, as on the fourth, only the Queen Mum goes and pops her clogs. So four hits within 70 hours of each other.

 

That always struck me looking back as an incredible turn of events for the DL.

 

The July 2007 splurge was astounding too, but that effected the DDP and not the DL, iirc.

Yes, Megrahi, first reported and - as a rule - news out of Libya is that bit slower. Gibb was staked-out by the tabloids and the turn-round between death and announcement was very slight. The family more or less had to issue a statement because it would have been reported anyway.
