I've seen Eli Wallach in two or three films first released in 2009 or 2010, and I recall several years ago seeing a news item that he had popped off.
Also I think Quentin Crisp (the Naked Civil Servant guy) appeared in a couple of films released five or more years after he died.Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

The people recorded in the 1950s for the laughter track used on US sitcoms must almost all be dead by now.My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.Comment

If ghosts exist and can move stuff around, it's not beyond the realms of possibility to imagine them being keyboard savvy and logging onto social networking sites like CUK and trying to join in the banter. I wonder how many of our members are actually speaking from beyond the grave or if indeed we are all really dead but don't know it like some 70s TV play where they all arrive at a hotel for the weekend and it gradually dawns on them.
Any dead CUKers care to fess up?Comment
