gcreptile 10,287 Posted February 7, 2016 The Telegraph has picked up the trend and now has a rolling "gallery of dead people of culture": http://www.telegraph.co.uk/music/news/culture-stars-who-died-in-2016/ Maybe someone (cough...Spade...) could contact Martin Chilton to include Michel Delpech... Also, I didn't realize that there are already three deaths from the orbit of Jefferson Airplane. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 17,807 Posted February 8, 2016 I was a bit sad we missed out on Spade's "fag packet aspergers" list this year, so I had a 1am look at the people chosen by last year's top ten. And since this maps out the likely big names from the contenders, I've added Sir Creep, as 52 points within 40 days of his DDP debut suggests taking note.

Vinegar Tits 586 Posted February 8, 2016 Also, I didn't realize that there are already three deaths from the orbit of Jefferson Airplane. There hasn't, just the two (Kantner and Anderson). Dan Hicks was around San Francisco at the same time as the Airplane but other than that there's no connection. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 17,807 Posted February 8, 2016 Marks is a case of not really knowing the effects of overdosing on recreational drugs has on cancer - John Edrich managed to "cure" terminal cancer with mistletoe injections. Still think he's fecked. Diski was given 2-3 years in 2014. Likely 2017, but would be a nuisance to miss, especially if her brain tumour developed suddenly. Kate Granger is the highest on that list I certainly think will see 2017 - and she wound up on my list because I named her first sub instead of Monty Brinson!

gcreptile 10,287 Posted February 10, 2016 I like how Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is still being described as a member of Al-Qaeda. I mean, that's how it all got started, when ISIS still affiliated itself with them. Now it's almost the other way round. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
