He doesn't appear to have tweeted in well over 24 hours now. Usually he tweets more than a hyperactive songbird who has big opinions about who will win the Premier League this season. Either he's croaking or busy preparing a brilliant essay for HuffPo about why sperm whales still not being admitted as full members of the Augusta National Golf Club is more of a moral outrage than the Manson-family-esque "upbringing" my mother dealt me. And just general world hunger/mass scale religious oppression/war.

What do you call an Irishman bouncing off the walls? Rick O'Shay

You only live twice.

Next he will be posting the demise of the sportscaster Bob Wilson http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Wilson_(sportscaster)

Sorry Time, I dropped the ball on this. Great call and you maximised the early points hit. 3rd (revised) Leader Board - 2015 1st - 70 points - Estuarian Float 2nd - 50 points - time 3rd - 49 points - CaptainChorizo 4th - 40 points - Maryport =5th - 0 points - Everyone else

No. Water man, water. Big gasp of fresh air too. Oh, um... by the way..... the guy who entered as "I'm 85 In March and I'm Still a Sicko!" last year isn't in this year..... Are we to er...presume?

I can't speak for the Deathlist, but people such as Ethel Lang are absolutely famous because of their longevity. The fact that they are "likely to die soon" is more of an occupational hazard. With regard to deadpool validity, I don't think they are in the same category as those who are only notable because of terminal illness or coma situations. I feel that picking such people is against the spirit of the game, especially as they are usually relatively young (whereas the "famous for being very old" score low on the DDP). I am now resigned to a mediocre placing on the DDP, because I don't include them. By the way, I think Lady Attenborough is a valid pick, Windsor: she was a reasonably well-known actress in her day.

I speak mainly of the DDP, which I regard to be the king of Dead Pools...mainly because I'm a part-timer. Let me give a few examples... Marlise Munoz...not a celebrity - just a poor 33 year old woman who was brain dead at the turn of the new year who was kept alive in an attempt to save her baby. Derek Clarke - a 101 Scottish painter of no real note. Kathy Craven...so unknown her death was referenced by her sister in a newspaper article. Felix Glenny - terminally ill 23 year old who married on his deathbed. Teresa Sandeman-Charles- terminally ill woman who encouraged people to become organ donors. These are just a few chosen by the teams who were in 1st and 2nd place. And yes, the worlds oldest also feature heavily in other teams...although admittedly much further down the scoreboard.

I'm pretty certain that the segment of a circle was there before and the blue box, as I said previously, is needed by Time as it's his mode of transport.

Indeed, and worth celebrating!

He's obviously got no particular place to go and perform a gig. It's funny you should say that because on e of Chuck Berrys soings was titled No Particular place to Go ! Nothing gets past you, does it. Johnny, be good and bugger off, there's a good chap.
