Robert Novak

Recommended Posts

Never heard of him.

 

Here's a bit of trivia, fact fans. In the Czech Republic the surname Novak (lit. "the new person") serves the equivalent purpose as Smith in English. ie it's the most common surname. Instead of John Smith as the most common whole name they would use Jan Novak.

Fixed, I hope..

 

Here's one from The Guardian

 

Along with the one for Don Hewitt and a drummer for John Coltrane.

 

The Guardian really are up America's arse aren't they?

Yeah.

Shame they prefer American nobodies (Not that Novak was, but generally) to English, and successful racing drivers. :ph34r:

 

That having been said, I am surprised Marinescu & Knoxall are both awaiting genuine obits too....

Guest is deathlist dead?

is anyone working on the site any more? He's been dead several days and nothing on the main page, and three deaths going back two months have been acknowledged only with placeholders so far. R.I.P deathlist?

Maybe something serious is going on and the 'powers that be' have not got the time to get round to it... :birthday:

Just done a member search for administrators.

There are eight admin log-ins and three of them...

<name><shame> Death Watch Beatle, football_fan, heaven can wait </shame></name>

... have logged in since Bob died, without bothering to update the site. The idle twunts. :birthday:

 

Perhaps we need some sort of coup and then appoint some new administrators? :party:

Since Grim Reaper pays for the site and for the bandwith, the other admins generally have the respect to let him to do the write-ups. It's not like Novak's going to suddenly come back to life if the site isn't updated anyways...

Well somebody has been about and done some tinkering as the main page has now gone from 6/50 to 7/50 and features Edward Kennedy being dead. Seemingly Mr Nowak isnt dead enough to feature yet!

How come he's still not been crossed off yet? It's a poor do when the copy of the list printed out in January, Sellotaped to our office wall and updated with a red pen is more up-to-date than the "official" one.

Agreed, and our DeathList sweepstake rules at work mean I cant hand out any prize money until its been marked off on the actual site! Unless, like Elvis and Michael Jackson, he isnt really dead!

Did this guy not get a UK obituary or something? Why is he not included?

 

GG by the way deathlist, it was a real struggle earlier this year but some great progress has been made this summer.

What is going on with this site recently?

 

There has been no write up since Malden died, and now they are missing off Novak.

 

Is there a problem??

He's up there now, if pictureless and detailsless.
