Magere Hein 1,400 Posted December 9, 2012 I don't know much about his political views, nor his musical talent, but as an amateur astronomer I mourn his death. It's also regrettable that after 8 times on the DeathList we missed him this year. I 'm glad that he's my 5th DDP hit. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paul Bearer 6,100 Posted December 9, 2012 An unbelievable miss for DL. Hit number 8 on DDP for me too though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
themaninblack 2,112 Posted December 9, 2012 A tap in for the DDP pun. If he'd had lived into 2013 it would have been a bit more difficult with DL breathing down me neck... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rotten Ali 600 Posted December 9, 2012 Oh dear. What a loss. He did so well only the other day discussing the Moon and Murcury. But his lips were quite a strange grey colour that showed how unwell he really was. Following on from last months programme when he was not up to more than a few seconds of on-camera intro and wrap up shots. One more for the list of un replaceable people who were expert in their field. Sad day. R I P Sir Patrick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,218 Posted December 9, 2012 Somewhere, in some strange place ( probably opp North) there is a middle aged fella, all alone, with just a cat for company, sobbing into a kleenex while cracking one off to celebrate the life (and obvious impact it had on him) of dear Patrick. Never mind Star Crossed, he had to go eventually. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BadEgg 38 Posted December 9, 2012 Maybe you should start a new "sister" forum "The Fiddle List" and we could all name people who we all think are paedos,probably not a good idea as we'd get sued Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magere Hein 1,400 Posted December 9, 2012 An unbelievable miss for DL. The worst, actually. The top 4 misses by number of appearances on a DL are: Patrick Moore 8 Alec Guiness 7 Boris Yeltsin 7 Dom Mintoff 5 regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Has the same vibe as ted heath did . It was suggested by some that he might have been light on his feet. Very close to his mother, claimed to have never been with a woman after World War II.

Toast 16,129 Posted December 9, 2012 Well, I feel sad. My friend told me in the pub at lunchtime that Patrick Moore had died and my eyes filled up. He has been there all of my life and was a one-off. (PM, that is, and not the friend) I had never had the heart to put him on my DDP team but was finally about to cave in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Has the same vibe as ted heath did . It was suggested by some that he might have been light on his feet. Very close to his mother, claimed to have never been with a woman after World War II. His fiancee was killed towards the end of the WWII and he said 'second best would never be good enough'. Don't think PM could ever be accused of being 'light on his feet'.

Death Impends 7,953 Posted December 9, 2012 Certainly a frustrating miss for DL... though, at least it's during a decent year. Could only imagine how irritating it'd feel if he died during the downright-disappointing 2011 Bit harsh James B, I mean, you left out his musical talents! Ain't gonna lie, this was the first thing to come to mind upon hearing of his death. Still love that flash.
