Look who picked her, serves you right for going by anno domini. I think only Jontyh has an older pick who also appears to be in the pink.

Oi, it's not how, but "how many" deadies you score. All's fair, yada yada. Cool

And mine, h. Barstewards. Mad

Likewise - if you're really crook, no need to crap about with Lourdes water or Benny Hinn, just get yourself onto Fred's dead pool and you'll live to be 120.

Aye, Nerky. We are reverse-woofers-extraordinaire.

Perry White dies

"Jackie Cooper, the former child actor who found renewed fame in the 1970s and ’80s playing Daily Planet editor Perry White in four Superman films, has passed away following a “sudden bout of illness,” TMZ reports. He was 88."

...along with the last WWI vet

"History's last living link with the battlefields of World War One has been broken with the death of 110-year-old digger Claude Choules.

Mr Choules, who recently celebrated his 110th birthday in his Perth nursing home, was believed to be the world's last surviving WWI combat veteran."

Choules was a man of Worcestershire born and brought up in Pershore.

Yeah, served in the British Navy then moved to a job with the Aus Navy, settling in Perth.

Vale Mr Choules and your generation.

Apparently nobody of celeb status died today. Bugger. Mad

The day may be almost over where you are, Skulls, but plenty of it to go here and they are just waking up in Seppo-land. Actually today marks the death, inter alii, of Marlene Dietrich, the bloke who wrote The Wizard of Oz, the monarch who gave his name to a potato, and the bloke who, allegedly, smothered the Princes in the Tower.

Still time today, though:

Zsa-Zsa Gabor back in hospital with pneumonia

by skully Fri 06 May 2011, 12:41

Hehehe, AD - the death-rider. Whip her home to the winning post!!! Cool

Be careful what you wish for, Skulls:

Seve Ballasteros battles for his life as brain condition deteriorates

Only 54 compared to Z-Z G's 94. Very sad.

by taipan Fri 06 May 2011, 12:51

Jeez, that's sad news.

Indeed sad. I'll have to check if anyone nommed him.

Ugh, I think it's another case of someone nomming a sickie last year but them being missed this year. No one's got him.

Took Skully about 0.5 seconds to get back to business.

by skully Fri 06 May 2011, 12:58

It's what I do. Get the mourning over with, and on with business. Cool

But, as John Adams almost said, "Jefferson still lives!"

(although he was wrong about that).

A movie is being made about her life ... 45 weddings and a funeral.

That's just so sad. One of my favourite golfers gone at only 54.

RIP Seve
