I've predicted UKIP gains too. Must still be on a high after the Portugal win in Eurovish!

Hugh Beaumont, aka Ward Cleaver, left it to Beaver 35 years ago, age 73.

Not the only one SC. A sad loss, although drumming for the band surely can't have been the most taxing of gigs. Also, Opal, the precursor to Mazzy Star were pretty damned good.

There's nothing wrong with this thread.

And how did the Generation Game theme go? "Liiife, is the name of the game..."

I like Harry

Especially UKIP. This Kipper.. ... has a better chance of winning a constituency than the political party, imo.

I have a nasty suspicion there was something about that murder that neither Brady nor Hindley wanted coming to light - something worse than killing an innocent young boy, something that would damage Brady's 'control'/narrative.

The Government recently made it more difficult for people to go on strike...(but they are all for worker's rights, now there's an election). So, the nurses want to go on strike, fresh wave of rail workers' strikes and remember the junior doctors? (All in Conservative England). Great, isn't it?

Ian Brady is no moor and thirteen teams had a Brady hunch that he would survive the year. The Unknown Man takes a clear lead for the first time in this competition. Here are the scores! 1st - The Unknown Man - 3 points 2nd - Drol - 7 points 3rd - CaptainChorizo - 13 points =4th - Bert Trautmann - 16 points =4th - Dr_T - 16 points 6th - Grim Up North - 18 points 7th - GraveDanger - 20 points 8th - RadGuy - 22 points 9th - Garn2 - 23 points 10th - gcreptile - 24 points 11th - Death Impends - 27 points 12th - Deathray - 28 points 13th - esher - 29 points =14th - Book - 31 points =14th - Morbidkid - 31 points =14th - Shaun of the Dead - 31 points 17th - msc - 32 points 18th - rockhopperpenguin - 33 points 19th - Dead Cow - 34 points 20th - YoungWillz - 35 points =21st - Bibliogryphon - 36 points =21st - CharonsCrew - 36 points =23rd - Angels - 40 points =23rd - Switch - 40 points 25th - WednesdayAddams - 41 points 26th - Joeyruss - 43 points 27th - Toast - 44 points 28th - Pedro67 - 45 points

I gather a few more points. Ah well. Lower reaches on my table.

Ian Brady is my first hit on this pool for 2017.

I still think we will beat the record.Best way to look at is who is a bad pick.I would say there is a handful only such as Blackman White QE2 Carter Prowse Akhito etc. I still reckon at the very least we will get Bracknell Downie Christie Booth and King Michael. Of course if the rumours are right about Hefner he is a May or June hit.I also think Bush is likely to go this year. As for all the others many of those with Alzheimers must be getting near the end.So we should lose at least 2 this year. As for the extremely old Graham is another Zsa Zsa but cant go on forever .Many of those over 90 on the list are not in the public eye so who knows how they are.Stastically we should lose a couple of them at least too.

That's gotta be a Mirror staffer who browses this forum just earning their Sunday wage right?

He's not arguing over his obitability, we all know he will obit quite easily. He's arguing that he's not the sort of name you would see on the deathlist front page.

Same could be said for Sam Simon.Most people wouldnt know he was but his creation made him extremely notable.

He strikes me as more of a DDP name, eventually, than one of the Deathlist 50.

Cultural highlight of the year.

On this day in 2001 famous American singer and television personality Perry Como died aged 88. His proper first name was Pierino. He was born May 18th 1912 so died less than a week short of his 89th birthday. His career in music ran from 1932-1997 and his musical genre's were easy listening and big band. He pioneered a successful musical variety television show in the US. He had one of showbusiness's longest marriages at the time having been married to his wife Roselle for 65 year's. She died suddenly in 1998 and it's said he remained heartbroken and inconsolable over his loss until his death just three years later.

That'll probably be another long wait then.

And it looks the wait is gonna be longer than we thought. https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/3547886/bruce-forsyth-is-back-on-his-feet-after-making-miraculous-recovery-from-chest-infection/

As I stated, deaths usually come in waves. I expect some sort of summer wave going to hit us soon. Not sure if that's enough for the record, but it should put us over 10 for sure.
