He has his own thread, so there's no need to mention him here. I still think it's a pity that this thread isn't inclusive. It should be a useful reference tool, but as things stand, it isn't. It's a discussion thread; not meant to be a reference tool Says who? YOU? Your sentence is completely the opposite of the truth. SC Whatever your mind is telling you, this really is a discussion thread, meaning that people can come along and post about someone who has died, while others are free to engage in discussion about the deceased person, abuse "guest", occasionally wander off topic, etc. However, SHOUTING isn't encouraged. You appear to have various firmly held beliefs on how this site should be run. Just wondering, but have you ever considered setting up a forum, or even a reference tool, of your own? It would be a glorious opportunity for you to impose your strange ideas about posting etiquette on others and have things exactly as you'd like them. I only ask because, based on the available evidence, I don't think anyone here is complying with your various demands?

If we all start referring to our tools this site will sink to the levels of every other internet message board. Stop it at once.

Hasn't the Eurovision Song Contest become a parody of itself these days? A parody of itself? Maybe that's a bit too strong. But nowadays, the winners would rarely embark on a huge international career in the music industry, like ABBA had done in the heyday of the contest. And yeah, it's not a song contest in the strictest sense, the quality of the music might be of secondary importance, being "interesting" and "different" should be the key to a winning entry. You could list quite a few weird winners from the last decades, like transsexual Dana International in '98, hard rock/heavy metal band Lordi in 2006 and bearded lady Conchita Wurst last year. Electro Velvet might get some points for its novelty value (strange genre: electric swing) and Bianca has an interesting background story with her cystic fibrosis, but I doubt that these will be enough for a podium. On a positive note, they can't do much worse than Jemini... It's been at least 30 years since I last watched it, Probably around the time Bucks Fizz won. All kinds of everything in it, I can't decide if the daftest song title that ever won it is ding-ding-a-dong or diggi-loo diggi-ley, I'm still having trouble making my mind up, its my personal waterloo, still whats another year?

Always Ultra condoms - have a happy period.

So doubtless the same office conversation I'm enjoying is going on elsewhere. Sympathies for Gazza and no love for the press activities but... His journey off the rails was already underway when the phone hacking started, right? Erm, maybe, maybe not. He was already supposed to have an alcohol problem even during the mid or late 90s right? But maybe it turned a medium-sized problem into a huge one.............. If he still wants to off himself, holding his breath waiting for an apology from the therapist would probably be a good method.

Here's what the article says TV legend MARY TYLER MOORE spends her sad last days in the grip of dementia, her few lucid moments are spent deciding on her resting place while being reminded of the tragic deaths of her loved ones! With most of her affairs now in order, Mary is left with making the gut-wrenching and difficult decision of whether to be buried or cremated, a family insider told The National ENQUIRER. But the source also revealed the heartbreak behind that decision, as the beloved star, 78, ponders being buried alongside her kid sister, who died of a drug overdose or joining her only son and her younger brother in having her ashes scattered. Mary is wrestling with these decisions with husband Dr. Robert Levine as she lives out her remaining days at their $10 million estate in Greenwich, Conn. The dying star is considering cremation as a tribute to her son, Richie, who died of an accidental self-inflicted gunshot wound in 1980 when he was 24. Again the "sad last days".... last year there was an article about Valerie Harper with the same phrase (I can only see it by Google-newsing "valerie harper sad last days national enquirer"). As long as she can still decide how to die, she can't be at death's door (Wouldn't her guts be burned or buried instead of wrenched?). Also, how can Mary's world be rocked "again" by the death of her brother, when that death occured 24 years ago?I tried to search for "sad last days national enquirer" but Valerie or Mary weren't even in the first seven hits! They applied this cliché to literally every aging celebrity from James Garner and Zsa Zsa to Olivia de Havilland, Maureen O'Hara, Joanne Woodward and Nancy Reagan. I have the feeling that these articles are primarily written by an automated algorythm using pre-defined keywords (dying, tragic, regret etc.) and then fine-tuned by a sad excuse for a journalist.

I prefer the Martini condom Anytime, Anyplace, Anywhere

D'ya know what, that's a great idea. How about we invite the various champions: DDP, HPDP, Deathrace etc. into a thread next year where five talented topplers are lined up and the Champions League involves the 2015 winners competing to pick the closest dates of 2016 death for these people, or summat. And qualification for this dead pool of dead pools is limited only to outright winners of existing competitions.

Head on over to Youtube to hear the UK version mashed up with the Bird's Eye Potato Waffles jingle. Bird's Eye seem rather enamoured, but word on the street is Marvin Gaye's family are looking closely at both the jingle and the song in case of similarities to any of his back catalogue.

Think he has his own thread. Also think I read somewhere they released pics or a video of him alive and well and receiving dignitaries the very next day. The Castro Mystique Effect I'm calling it. Indeed, also, the Castro Mystique Effect usually befalls regimes the USA doesn't like (Iran, Cuba, North Korea).

How high do I need to finish to qualify for Europe?

Windell D. Middlebrooks Actor known to Us tv audiences as the fat guy in the Miller High Life commercials is dead at 36

It's possible Zsa Zsa is dead as like i said in my previous post i wouldn't put anything past Von Anhalt but i do think she is still being kept alive as in December Francesca just before her own death released a photo of her with Zsa Zsa to radar online and also haven't the courts said the "Prince" and Zsa Zsa can live in there house until she dies. Most crucially the real Owners of the house who inherit it once Zsa Zsa dies pay the "Prince" about £300,000 a year to look after her surely they will get some sort of proof she is still alive as surely they wouldn't pay someone all that money every year unless they knew for certain that she was still with us. You're right, she must have been alive while her daughter was alive. "Prince" von Anhalt couldn't stop Francesca from seeing her mother. Though now the "prince" can do whatever he wants with her. Gross bordering on the necrophiliac It may seem gross, but it's a fact. Old codgers do rodger. Roger that.

Well I see it has already received some rave reviews in the British press. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/eurovision/11457228/Eurovision-2015-Electro-Velvet-will-ensure-we-dont-win.html But staying on topic, it's worth noting that the female part of the duo, Bianca (26) is living with cystic fibrosis, an incurable, hereditary disease that reduces lifespans by 20+ years with large variance. Some people with the condition may die in their twenties (albeit this is now rare), so she could make a weak but potentially lucrative DDP candidate (low likelihood of dying, but many points if she dies). On a related note, the Finnish contestants are middle aged punk rockers "with learning disabilities". One of them looks as if he had a hereditary genetic defect. Of course, even IF... an obit in the UK would be in doubt. http://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2015/feb/27/finnish-punk-band-take-punt-eurovision-title Is there any Deathlist potential behind the sudden withdrawal of the winner of the German preliminary competition? I was wondering about that, poor lad going from Voice of Germany 2013 to Ideas and Possibilities for 2016. Immortality of sorts.. I had to think about him (in our context) as well. He is a bit of a weirdo compared to the clichés that usually win casting shows. He likes to cancel concerts if he feels his artistry compromised. There are rumours that he molested a female fan during a concert. He just canceled some other concerts but my interest in him is already waning. Apparently, he's been silent on social media for a couple of days, so maybe he's having a bit of a breakdown at the moment, but he does not have any fatal illness as far as we know. Since the last post Andreas Kümmert has posted to Facebook basically giving a vague reason for dropping out of Eurovision as being he didn't know what he would achieve by participating. Mental health probably should be questioned though cynically I wonder whether it's simply a stunt to improve his public profile. Anyway, he has a very nasty beard so I'm quite pleased he's not representing Germany. The less beards the better (unless they're neat and tidy a la Conchita Wurst). Incidentally, is the UK entry for 2015 relevant to this thread seeing as it will die a painful death?

wow, not bad

I'm in the same boat. Occasionally funny but it doesn't really do it for me. I must admit that I had no idea who Sam Simon was until he started being discussed on this forum.

No you didn't, you were on this forum posting crap for a good part of it. Also, watching every episode, back to back, uninterrupted, would take well over a week. Now run along, its past your bedtime.

I'll update my sig when I fucking feel like it, fucknut. I was waiting for confirmation of my 2015 DDP entry..... so shuuuut uuuuuuuup. And also, since when did "being asked for your opinion" mean you get some magical right to not have somebody tell you it's retarded? No-one wants to hear some "OMG WHY ARENT ALL 50 CHOICES SOME AMERICAN BALL-THROWING EXPERT NOBODY IN BRITTUN HAS EVER HEARD OF" horse shit that make you sound like a caffeine-addled, FPS-addicted, much-less appealing American version of Deathray? (Sorry DR, just kiddin'........ like you were when you called me a moronicos, etc. or something) However I thought "Cancel My Appointments" was a funny team name and if Spade is telling you to go away then I'm ready to do a complete 180 and give you a second chance. Just try to be slightly less of a cunt.... I preferred to let sleeping dogs lie, as I had my piece and thanks to it not being soft and cushiony, I took heat. Let's get a couple things outta the way. One, I NEVER said anything about the list needing Yanks on it, nor too many Brits on it (you be the judge if it has, seeing as the reach is global). Two, I probably did come across as a cunt otherwise, Alas. But I stand strong, bold, steadfast, and with conviction (lol) on my point, which is the list is pedestrian in thought and construction. Here are names for one reason or another have zero justification imho, other than the person is 90-98 years old: And by justification I mean RECENT MEDICAL evidence or insight. CLee Berry Mugabe Mubarek Day HLee BBKing Dole Schmidt O'Hara Cole Sallis LSmith RAdams Kerkorian Maynard Here are names on the list with medical evidence but whom I may not have included, but whatever: JRoberts (Superstar Billy Graham in worse shape, if you want a rasssler) Harper (seems recovered to me, though yes we know how these things go -- I may include her if I expanded to 50 names) Kohl (looks frail, but only links cliaming poor health are terribly old, meaning irrelevant in 2015). Lastly, who in the hell is Joost Westhuizen? A truly unremarkable fellow, he shouldn't qualify as celebrity imho. But it is what it is, and he is on the list for a reason, though frankly I say a year too soon. But I'll live. Joost should be so lucky. Many of you have posted EXCELLENT research/links to very qualified candidates that obviously went ignored by the Committee. I think the list was slapped together by those who are lazily 'playing the odds' that a 95 year old will die. And if that flies for the best list that can be put together, it's a self-indictment. I"ll take my percentage chances saying none of those I've listed (1/3 of the list) will perish in 2015. The only 'dead' they are is dead weight on what could be a great list. I may be wrong on 2-3, Tha'tll be a better percentage than the hits out of 50 provided by The DeathList. I hope that is an un-cunty answer. Sir Creep You are joking. Mugabe has been nipping off to Singapore for mysterious treatments for several years. Sallis is no longer able to work, Mubarak has collapsed a number of times in the run up to his trial. Christopher Lee is a legend whose awesomeness is beyond question. Bob Dole looked rickety in recent outings and Maynard belongs to the "I didn't realise he was still alive". I think we should get 10 names but I do not think the list is perfect.

Sorry but for the 500th time we can't view the Enquirer website over here in Yoorup. We just get a blank white page with the message "service not available in your area". Could you guys please copy+paste some of the article or something next time.....? Even if you are saying it's crap.....
