Thats what I was wondering too... They don't have Dimebag Darrell in 2004 either. :mad:

So that is one of the most famous footballers in the world and an artist that played live in front of 750,000 people at one gig and sold 25 million+ records. Great list. :rolleyes:

Mr Magnolia

Mo Mowlam, in my opinion the biggest loss of 2005.

Dimebag died in 2004, not 2005. I know this because I assassinated him. I wanted to be famous.

So that means you must be dead also, as the person that assassinated him had been shot in the back of the head with a shot gun from close range. I also pointed out that he had been killed in 2004 if you read my post.

Yeah I see that alright. Dimebag was from Dallas, TX so that doesn't excuse them.

No, that other guy was a patsy. Shot in the back of the head, see? I regret nothing, Dimebag was far too hairy and angry to live. And let's make a leap here, if you mentioned he was killed in 04, why would he be on the list for 2005?? Eh? Eh? Eh?

Richelieu

Ronnie Barker
Hunter S Thompson



I second the above most heartily

He was angry was he? About what exactly?

Angry about being shot, and about being hairy. Dimebag, pffft, Douchebag more like. He broke away from Pantera, he paid the piper, that's all there is to it.

drdre

the most id miss is

ronnie barker
george best

Kersh

Pornapster said Dimebag wasnt on the 2004 list ya pleb.

There were no pipers in Pantera. Why would he have to pay them?

Are you a hitman?


Mo Mowlam, Robin Cook and Richard Whiteley will be sadly missed.
A lot of the rest, Prior and Best, we're out of the limelight anyway (Best was in it for the wrong reasons) so they wont be missed on a day-to-day basis IMO.

For all the blue M&Ms, obviously!

fischerspooner

Yes poor Richard Whiteley.
Although I think "Wine 'em and dine 'em Lynam" is a decent replacement for "Two times nightly Whitely".

TheStrandRoads

"Twice Nightly" Richard Whiteley.

And more recently, Pat Morita (Mr. Miyagi)

John

I'll go with John DeLorean. Childhood just would not have been the same without *that* car!

I'm sure some boys will miss Anne Bancroft. Bad year for politicians too with Sir Edward Heath and Robin Cook gone. It is strange that no Georgie on the list with so many British people on it. Not that I am calling him British of course.. you get the point (hopefully).

They will have to add Julio Ingleses Sr. (or however you spell it) now as well.

Is he dead?

440Hz

yeah during the week, he died of a heartattack. He was in his 90s or something, and his wife is pregnant!!! There was a big thing about it on Ray D'Arcy last week (about how he was way too old to be a dad again) and then the poor man died this week - very strange.

19 DECEMBER 2005

Julio Iglesias' father has passed away just days after he announced he was to become a father for the fourth time at the age of 90. Julio Snr died early on Monday morning after suffering a cardiac arrest at his home in Madrid.

ApeXaviour

Johnny Cochran is dead!!!???

Most missed:
Mitch Hedberg (defo my fav comedian and so young)
Hans Bethe - A physicist who after helping create the A-bomb, dedicated the rest of his life to preventing its use

Least missed:
Andrea Dworkin- stupid radical feminist btch

Tobias Greeshman

Probably a toss up between Mo Mowlam and Karol Wojtyla for the work they've dedicated their lives to.

hunter s. thompson, what a legend

Chong

Pope John Paul II
George Best
Richard Pryor
Ronnie Barker
Mo Mowlam
Rosa Parks
Hunter S Thompson

hullaballoo

Richard Whiteley for me to be honest. That's just because the thread title asks "who will you miss the most?". The biggest legend was RIchard Pryor.

arbeitsscheuer

Richard Prior
Robin Cook
Ronnie Barker
Rosa Parks...

What's weird is, and these are the people I will genuinely miss, their first names all begin with 'R'... Odd.

May they Rest in Peace.

Catsmokinpot

Hunter S. Thompson, ****ed up cookie but u gotta love him
Richard Pryor, what a funny funny guy
mo mowlam, great lady
Richard Whitley great man "**** for 7" ill never forget that

tbh i wont be missing george best, i know several people who could have benifited more from that kidney than him, anyone who wastes a second chance like that deserves it IMO.

Tar.Aldarion

Richard whitely...

Roar

richard whitely.. des lynam is crap...

richard pryor too, watched his movies and his stand up after his death, very very funny guy, will have to get the richard pryor show for xmas..

pope joon paul the second!he had the most influence on the world of the all the people who died this year!

StupidLikeAFox

Im curious as to why people will miss mo mowlam? I mean she was a great woman and all, but did she have that much influence on peoples live? (not meant to be a troll, genuinely curious)

Also i'll miss Rooster Booster.
