To be honest, he managed to kill less people than one Glasgow binman did by accident. Crap terrorist.

Dexter/Berry/McGuinness/Breslin/Walcott.

You wouldn't be saying that if you were approaching your 70th.

Former Haitian president Jean-Bertrand Aristide apparently had his motorcade shot at a couple of days ago in what he and his supporters have called an attempted assassination attempt. However, Haitian police deny the shooting was an assassination attempt.

7 arrests made. Presumably it was a warning shot attack for something bigger.

*Forward

Doubtless just in time for Young Maryport's next visit home to treat the place like a hotel and remind his dad of the current score on this thread.

Very dark day

I'll try. I haven't done one since the upgrade. Sorry in advance if I permanently ban you.

What about former Finnish president Mauno Koivisto (born 1923)? He is suffering from Alzheimer's Disease as of 2017 but is otherwise in quite good condition (better than many other 94 year-olds). Could he be in the next year's list, or is he notable enough?

As said before, possible election re-runs, manifesto promises that simply look like they are being breached every fortnight? This really has the whiff that this game will be over and a General Election called this year.

I definitely think Douglas Hurd should be on the list next year.Not been seen in public for nearly two years.Retired from the Lords last year had a stroke in 2010 and said he would be dead in ten years four years ago.Also will be 88 next year.

Let's put it this way, you're more likely to get banned from deathlist than her winning.

Not a chance, unless she pulls off a miracle and gets 50%+ in the first round of voting then she'll simply be crushed by the other person to get through to the second voting round, much like her father did.

I kinda like the notion that this is a 'chilling' website.

Has your account been hijacked? You'll have to change your name to MorbidAdult if you maintain this. Bloody hell I'm impressed. Way to go, seriously.

I'm actually relieved I have the tie-breaker, as Rover's team is really not bad. Emma Morano and Glen Campbell could very well be dead by tomorrow... Edit: Martin McGuinness would have been on my team for April. The good names are all dying too fast.

Why couldn't I have had the good fortune to draw one of you fine sirs, or Biblio for that matter, instead of the super-fast starting reptile? Mind you, turns out I'm on a hiding to nothing: If McGuinness' death opens the late March floodgates then my reward is The Dead Cow or Death Impends...talk about a hiding to nothing...

Ah, but you guessed Berry, the only one in fact, and your one of many who guessed Rockefeller. Though he was sub #5 for Death Impends, so he's joint leader now if I remember correctly instead of leader. I'll know for sure when I do the update.

It's no more expensive than the UK. Normally I'd just get it posted to family in the UK instead but they're nosy and I don't want then to know I'm willing to spent that much on a set of postcards. I wouldn't usually but wanted to treat myself as I actually got a bonus this year.

Knowing Last Word they'll probably open with someone who ran a second-hand bookstore for hedgehogs.

A few of my own "great-grand-pawpaws" did come from Ireland, but I agree, it's weird to base your heritage on stuff which happened 100 years ago (or more) in a country you never visit, in most of these cases! I'm only Scottish. Folk should just be honest and say they like St Pats because it gives them a chance to be drunk as they believe in stereotyping nations. Mind you, probably just as well it's only the drinking stereotype they pick to emulate... From experience, people mostly use it as an opportunity to get drunk. In other words, in America, it's considered St Patricks Day, but in Glasgow, it was Friday.

I know you know this, but in case anyone else doesn't, it's an alarm button you wear round your neck or on your wrist linked to a phone line so if you have a fall or need help you press your button and it dials a contact centre who can despatch help. You can also have buttons that have sensors in them so if you fall and knock yourself out the button senses the fall and dials them automatically. There is all sorts of gadgetry that can be linked to them - speakers and timers and sensor mats and pressure pads so if confused Doris gets out of bed at night and doesn't return within a specified time the centre is automatically alerted and they would then speak to her through her speakers to check if she was ok. Door sensors so if the front door is opened and not closed after a time the contact centre would be alerted just in case Doris has wandered off down the road. Some really good technology going on for the safety of our elderly folk. You should try it LFN!

As far as I know The Zimmers constantly find new members so a bit of a redundant question.

Golden opportunity there...
