Country difference, Joey. No one is overshadowing Noakes in the UK. Huge childhood figure for lots of folk aged...35-65, give or take. Well, unless, say, the Queen dies in an hour, of course.

No one guessed Noakes (not counting the vote for him after his death ) Thread closed.

We're really going to struggle for famous new centenarians in 2018 at this rate.

The last goodbye for Jeff Buckley on this day 20 years ago, aged 30.

Be intereesting to know where those polls would be with a different Labour leader - Jezza has that Bernie Sanders feel about him.Radical oldster mobilising loads of the disaffected but - apparently - personally unsuited to actually taking power.

Well apart from vomiting on the Japanese Prime minister and fighting with Homer Simpson.

Hi, I'm from the french-speaking part of Belgium and we use to play our own deathlist with some colleagues for three years now... Had the same idea, too. What we first need to agree on is a common reference for obits, I think...

John Barrymore - 75 years

Nope haha I was thinking of both the committee and everyone else.If in December 2015 Bowie Rickman or Corbett had said what was wrong with them the entire internet would have known within an hour.The committee picking them in this scenario would have been assured.

Or stop milking Madeline McCanns disappearance.

"we"

a) Thank you! b ) You are right! c) If it's you on your profile picture than I really like to give that compliment back to you. Out of us 3 - you won!

Well, if all these mums have extra Z chromosomes, no wonder they are ill!

Dear BBC Isn't interviewing Lord Coe about sport in Manchester like interviewing Fred Goodwin about the resilience of the banking community in Manchester? Yours faithfully. YW.

Ian Brady dead 9/50 15th May 2017 Serial killer child murderer Ian Brady has died. Good riddance.

One is somewhat out of practice after a wee break...

Not overly surprising as he has severe Alzheimer's and his family are very private.The only reason they announced he was ill was because he went missing and they had to.

Ok, you can enlist my help if you so choose.Alright. It's sent to both you and DDT, so if anyone is thinking that the bonuses aren't true, then those two will be the ones to confirm it.

Good to know. Just remember you must choose from that list of 260 (cause Amber Snailham is old enough after all). Anyone planning to play but is planning on sending teams closer to the deadline can say right here or pm me.

Google is your ( only ) friend

An absolute disgrace that this was started on 31 Dec What happened to "here's one I prepared earlier"?
