Or unless the BBC are getting their news reports confused with the shipping forecast.

Is Hudis ill or are we just naming anyone we think of over 90? No one should be brought up in this thread without a medical condition even if it was something from the past---but it better be good ("Mr Hudis had a heart attack in 2009" would work). This isn't a 90-something brainstorming thread. Lastly, YOU are the poster, the onus is on YOU to provide the name and information as to why they are, as the title suggests, a 'possibility', not on me or anyone else to go figure it out. I think we know who the lazy one is here . SC I didn't want this to pass without comment. This is a discussion board. Someone might post the name of a 90+ celebrity because they have no information at all and want to raise the point with other contributors. This type of discussion would be helpful to the committee so that there picks might actually die during the year in question as opposed to release an album with Lady GaGa and go on tour. If someone has said "I haven't seen Lewis Collins on telly recently" someone might have thought he would be a outside chance for a DDP team. I like open and informed debate, if information is not of use or interest to me I skim over it.

Before I start I want to point out that I am not being Luddite about the whole remake of Thunderbirds. I frankly couldn't care less. However there are some things you do need to get right LADY PENELOPE. She should be classy and aloof and be able to convey the impression with one look that she is out of your league, even if you are a billionaire athelete with a PhD and a Knighthood. She should NOT look like a pissed off secretary

Interesting philosophical question, that. The phenotype who was Henrietta Lacks is dead and likely to remain so in the forseeable future. Her genotype is very much alive. As long as we don't know how to create a phenotype from a HeLa culture, the difference with dead is slim. Indeed, maybe there is even a third kind of death, after cardiac death and brain death, it's cell death. With no need to start a new thread http://www.deathlist.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=7248&hl=prison I wanted to like your post, but it says that I "have reached my quota of positive votes for the day":

I think this new thread is covered by MPFC's Hymn Writers thread started back in 2005. As far as I know it's not been archived.

I'll have a pint of heavy with a bottle of Glenmorangie chaser.

Hi there. If you are not sure of the DDP rules, just check them at http://www.deathlist.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=8431 I think they're pretty funny. Being famous just for being sick and likely to die would disqualify her from the main deathlist, picked by the committee members, but not the DDP or Deathrace. I think it's an interesting case, a bit like Henrietta Lacks, she would make a contribution to science through her illness and eventual death.

Well you would probably like it if you were 20 years younger or something. But hey you like Dr. Who and that's for kiddies, so.... (*holds up shield for expected wrestling barbs* ....... christ, "shield" I might as well be playing D&D.) He made a guest appearance as himself in an episode in like series 3 or 4 something. The central character goes back to 1999 to try and stop himself being frozen in time and thus ending up waking up in the year 3000 (which was what happened in Episode 1 and was basically the premise of the series). Somehow Al Gore and Gary Gygax show up and lecture him that he was "meant" to go to the future and he needs to stop trying to mess with events. When Gygax shows up he says "Hi it's... *rolls dice*....... nice to meet you!". The fact that I'm actually recounting it should indicate I think it's one of the more enjoyable and clever scenes that I can recall. If you want a cringefest you'll have to seek out Bender singing "She'll be coming round the mountain" yourself..

Coincidentally, today's also the 120th anniversary of the death of Sir Henry Rawlinson, 1st Baronet Where is the councidence? SC Clicking on the link provided by Time you will read: Sir Henry Rawlinson, 1st Baronet From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "Sir Henry Rawlinson" redirects here. For the character created by Vivian Stanshall, see Sir Henry at Rawlinson End. Now read on (intro music is nearly a minute, but your patience will be rewarded)

I like that. It would be good if he was a Brit.

I've been told by a glider pilot (who flies 747s for KLM in his spare time) that the difference is that you ordinarily sit in a plane, rather than stand. Apparently the vertigo muscles don't work well then. Some friends of mine are glider pilots. In that business deadstick landings are quite popular. When those friends attempt overland flights they need assistance for when they land 'out', i.e. not on an airfield. I've been a member of the team that retrieves glider and pilot several times. I soon learned that choosing a suitable landing spot is not an exact science. Apart from visible and invisible obstacles (fences, ditches, trees, livestock), what looks smooth from the air isn't always. Precision landings are part of pilot training, but nevertheless accidents with damage to glider or pilot are common, sometimes fatal. One friend mistook a field of maize for grass. He wasn't hurt, but his glider was. It also wasn't white anymore. Another one got in trouble when he landed in a field that sloped down. His flight ended in a wire fence.

I'm the exact same.

It was an old vintage World War 2 plane. I think anyone trusting their lives in a vehicle of such age - even with stringent safety checks - is a bit of a fool to be honest. Near where I live, several companies offer Tiger Moth flights. One crashed last year, killing a tourist. I've flown in G-ACDC and G-ASKP both Tiger Moths DH82a that fly out of Headcorn The Tiger Club have very strict stringent checks when it comes to those and all of their aircraft. G-ACDC was the 3rd Tiger Moth off the assembly line and the oldest operational Tiger Moth in the world.

Looking at that photograph, I think skill had more of a part to play. Let's make no mistake: This is God saying "oh NO fucking way!" to the storyboarded Blade Runner remake. SC

Speaking of shooting yourself in the head and surviving, the one who lived to sue Judas Priest in a farcical case that did nobody any real favours was James Vance. Not everyone's idea of a dreamboat after surviving the shooting, but assuming you're not easily disturbed, here's a link: http://christwire.org/2013/10/common-core-national-sexuality-education-standards-k-12-is-pornography/james-vance/

Is this an exam or test question or is it a 'real-life' problem that you're trying to solve? Either way, I don't know how anyone can access a powerpoint show without any Powerpoint software, be it .pot, .ppt or .pps. Also, afaik, you can't save a Powerpoint presentations as a .bmp. file (in the version I've used anyway). There is a free Powerpoint viewer (available from MS) that enables viewing (but not editing) a presentation, seems to like .ppt files. Don't know if this helps, but that's the extent of my Powerpoint knowledge. You could try Dave Gorman!

Sorry but how does one unsuccessfully shoot themselves in the head? Either they hit the target or they didn't. SC He shot himself in the head but didn't inflict a fatal wound. It's fairly simple to deduce. Indeed, if you're not too squeamish there are surely still pictures on line of the survivor from the two guys who set out to shoot themselves after listening to Judas Priest. He still - kind of - has a face, if you get my drift, but he certainly continues to live.

Sorry but how does one unsuccessfully shoot themselves in the head? Either they hit the target or they didn't. SC He shot himself in the head but didn't inflict a fatal wound. It's fairly simple to deduce. that's what he meant but didn't say On a point of pedantry he was successful in shooting himself in the head. I have to go with SC on this one. Did I just say that?

Sorry but how does one unsuccessfully shoot themselves in the head? Either they hit the target or they didn't. SC Maybe he got the wrong head

"This next question is solely for the Tub of Lard..."

Did Sir Creep use the word arse?

Any chance you can just fuck off?

You're missing the past. What once started as a topic discussing possible deaths evolved in one disussing actual deaths as well. No mod could be arsed to change the title. On a more personal note: I don't particularly like it when a newbie member vents opinions on forum organisation. There's nothing wrong with pointing out mistakes, but don't overdo it and do it politely. DON'T SHOUT! I can't speak for other mods, but little pisses me off more than being told what to do by a newbie.
