Sorry.
Daley Thompson (1958-TBD). Highly successful former British decathlete, won Olympic Gold in 1980 and 1984, broke the world record for the event four times and won three Commonwealth titles, as well as wins in the World and European Championships, Thompson is considered by many to be one of the greatest decathletes of all time (along with Bob Mathias and Dan O'Brien). Robert Chalmers described him as "the greatest all-round athlete this country has ever produced.
I know he hasn't died yet, but I wanted to be the first to mourn his loss and I might not be near a computer when I hear the sad news. Personally I think it appropriate that he dies in a November so that there are as many moustaches as possible as the State funeral.0 -
Emma Thompson (1959-TBD) British actress, comedian, screenwriter and author. She first came to prominence in 1987 in two BBC TV series, Tutti Frutti and Fortunes of War, she won the BAFTA TV Award for Best Actress for her work in both. Her first major film role was in the 1989 romantic comedy The Tall Guy. In 1992, Thompson won multiple acting awards, including an Academy Award and a BAFTA Award for Best Actress, for her performance in the British drama Howards End. In 1993, Thompson garnered dual Academy Award nominations, as Best Actress for The Remains of the Day and as Best Supporting Actress for In the Name of the Father. NO RELATION to Daley Thompson.0

The Thompson Twins (1977-1993). British New Wave pop group that achieved considerable popularity in the mid-1980s, scoring a string of hits in the United Kingdom, the United States, and around the globe. NO RELATION to Emma or Daley (I think).0

The Playing Mantis (16 Aug 12 to 4 Dec 13). The Playing Mantis (aka 'TPM', aka 'Agent Pinkbits') was the on-line ego of Miss Sally Nesbit (15) from Basingstoke. Working as a North Korean cyber-agent she was employed to groom internet idiots into performing increasingly depraved postings with the intent of 'collapsing the decadent Western Internet culture'. Sally started to take herself too seriously in the late summer of 2013 before imploding in a self-aggrandising hissy-fit in Dec and taking her posts to HorseRadar.com. Sally will be sorely missed by her younger sister, Tilly, and 2 members of BR. No relation to Rab C Nesbitt or Jimmy Nesbitt.0

Late summer 13??? I take that as a compliment0

shall we mourn lost careers?
Nigella's looking like she will be taking it up the arse in America if these drug allegations are found to be credible.
I don't know her and wouldn't mourn her passing into obscurity“Give a man a fish and feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime. Teach a man to cycle and he will realize fishing is stupid and boring”

MAVIS BINGHAM (1823-1862)
Famed for her 'single blade' ploughing skills despite allways choosing stallions that were just far too big. Never married her long term partner Gladys Pinkerbottom who was her equal in the not so feminine class of plough women due to social intolerence to single blade plough women.
Mavis's maveric style of poughing was synonymous with noises such as 'By 'eck', 'Oh fuk' and 'bollox'.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
