    Carry On Dying

    When Mike Pratt got his diagnosis (he was a chain smoker), he wrote to all his closest friends imploring them to quit cigarettes. One of them was Colin Baker, who was so shocked by Pratt's death that he went from chain smoker to cold turkey for most of the last fifty years.

    Kind of funny that the dead guy in Randall and Hopkirk outlived the alive guy by nearly 50 years

    30/30

    Kenneth Cope puts me on 21/30.
  6. To be more specific, I like them all well enough except Running Up That Hill. But there are many that I prefer among those that have been eliminated.

    The Deathlist Poker Tournament 2024

    Kenneth Cope has departed, deceased at last, taking with him Vic Spanner, Jed Stone, Marty Hopkirk and a bunch of other characters which we shall never see again. Of course, you'll have the odd Dr Who nut who remembers him as Packard in the story Warriors' Gate, a personal favourite. Anyhow, as the turn of a card or two can testify, TQR gets another hit, releasing them up the leaderboard, playing an Ace as well gaining them a 5 point bonus. Leaderboard updated.

    Who are the immortals?

    Kenneth Cope (1931-2024) "It's hard to cope with this" (Hardline Carry On fan) "You must be that Asian-Peruvian tyrant! You are a digusting human being!" (St. Peter when he saw Kenny at the Pearly Gates) Age at death: 93 Known health issues: Cope was born in 1931 but suffered from COPD since 1929 at least. When I joined this forum in early 2016, he was on his last legs, and known as Kenneth COPD. He survived a death hoax in 2024, Cause of death: Hmmmmmm...... Alignment: The lord will reap the wheat and the weeds in the same day. And he took Cope, a universally liked character actor, the same day he took a universally reviled monster known as Alberto Fujimori.
  12. Today
  13. I like 5 out of 7 of them, the other two being so-so; but I'm not playing so I don't care either. (Sorry this reads like an Amazon review of a product I haven't used).

    Georg Koch gives his "final interview": https://m.bild.de/sport/fussball/todkranker-georg-koch-gebe-hier-mein-letztes-interview-66e2d4c2cb180e1cf92068e2 Doesn't look too terrible if that photo is recent. Maybe it's enough to live into 2025.
