It might explanation his decision to appear in Bad Grandpa.

Robert De Niro has announced his retirement - are you sure? Provide a link please - I think this is bullshit. Robert De Niro has Alzheimers - are you sure? Provide a link please - I think this is bullshit.

If you've got a 1000 name longlist do you mind giving me a hint as to what line of work you're in. I'm actively seeking summat that'd maintain my salary but ask for fewer hours a week from me than the current slave-drivers want.

Douglas Adams threw in the towel this day in 2001 aged 49.

No.

This isn't the place for you to boss people around.

To be fair by the looks of it he gets paid to jetset all over the world for the government or a large international firm. Needs something to do with all that time in airport waiting lounges.

Actually though it has been expanded to all entertainers, at least when one now googles it. Age 27 is the last year of human life cycle 1 (youth: birth- age 28). Very stressful because of the change from the youth to the adulthood stage at ages 28-56, cycle 2. Some just cannot handle it on the emotional level. You will notice a spike of Deaths at around age 55 or so as well, from usually heart attacks. The transition to wisdom/old-age is stressful to many folks as well, ages 56-84, Cycle 3. Cycle 4 is relatively a new phase in human development..... (Rudolph Steiner).

Come on Mary - 15,550 posts says your nose isn't that close to the grindstone!

I hate always being the guy to point this out, but the 27 Club is for musicians.

Juan Gris stopped painting on this day 90 years ago, aged 40.

Shel Silverstein stopped writing on this day in 1999, aged 68.

Joseph Bonanno had his last Bonanno split 15 years ago today, aged 97.

Looks like another longest suicide note in history.

What an effing downgrade from DL 2016. Muhammad Ali ---> Errol Christie = Lamborghini ---> Fred Flintstone's car Someone ought to make a poll over the least deathlist-y DL names in the Internet era! He'd get a few votes, I reckon. Or Al had-an-insignificant-character-role-in-Happy-Days Molinaro.

My Grandparents lived in the same nursing home as Pressburger although not at the same time.Apparently he used to have his Oscar on the mantlepiece in the room.

I bet he's operating his bat-computer at this very moment, desperately trying to find a bat-cure!

Nah not really, I'm quite happy as an oncologist.

You'd have to weigh two factors against each other: 1. Cell division is (generally) slower at 90 than 50, so that alone would contribute to a longer survival time; but 2. Nonagenarians typically are less resilient and have more co-morbidities that shorten their expected survival time and might also mean that doctors are not able to pursue an agressive course of treatment (intensive chemotherapy, extensive surgery etc.). The net effect can vary, but for most cancers, age is an adverse prognostic factor.

I very much doubt the story of the mugging. She was pictured before it allegedly happened with some quite distinctive key chain accessories attached to the 'stolen' bag - after the 'mugging' the same accessories appeared on her new bag. Did she say to the mugger 'ooo hang on a mo, let me just take these off before you brutally mug me'? I agree she is a cunt but she is also clearly mentally unstable and needs professional intervention.

She looks ghastly anywhere.

My hint is to go with gut instinct rather than getting too bogged down with long-lists and spreadsheets. Overthinking this game tends to result in deteriorating results in my experience. For example, if I put together a team on Boxing Day and then spend the next few days tinkering around with it, as I am prone to doing, it is almost always the case that the original list I came up with would have done better than the revised team I eventually submitted. The only caveat to this is that I always (rightly as it turns out) talk myself out of picking Sister Wendy Beckett, but each year it gets more difficult to keep her out of the first team...

Duplicate entries are not rejected just they are not unique. The reason I need entries PM'd is so that people are not influenced by other people and given an advantage in putting uniques in their teams.
