Jesus he even makes a disaster a fucking bore.

Grim reaper says "You're the one that I want"

SEE YA, CLEGGY! 11/50 5th June 2017 Actor Peter Sallis has died aged 96, to give The Crowdsourced Deathlist another success. Sallis was perhaps best known to TV audiences for his role as world weary philosopher Norman Clegg in the BBC smash sitcom Last of the Summer Wine. As the straight man to the comedy hi-jinks of the late Bill Owen and Brian Wilde (and others), Sallis was the only constant to appear in every single episode of the sitcom, over a period of 40 years. He had made a name for himself in the 1950s and 1960s playing Norman Clegg like parts (notably in the Doctor Who story The Ice Warriors, introducing the eponymous monsters), so it was perhaps no surprise that he was seen as the best man for the job. Especially when he showed up at the audition wearing the perfect Norman Clegg outfit, which he'd picked out of his own wardrobe. He also frequently had to stop fights between co-stars Owen and Wilde, despite the fact that Sallis himself would rather avoid conflict and just have a nice cup of hot chocolate instead: a world philosophy this host can agree with. Outside Holmfirth, Sallis obtained a whole new younger worldwide generation of fans as the voice of Wallace from the Wallace and Gromit cartoon series. Sallis was appearing in 4th place on the list, and is the 11th hit in only the first half of 2017.

A superb actor. RIP.

Yeah lets disarm all our police, disband the SAS and all that . Fucking hell, a member of the public got accidentally hit in a horrific situation but is alive after not being stabbed to death because the wankers that would have done it were shot dead.... You sure you are not Jeremy Corbyn?

Welcome back deadsox, hope you enjoyed your time in Italy. You've got a strong squad on your hands and there's less wriggle room for both of us on top of my misfortune with over-eager topplers, so the match could easily turn in either direction - after all, what could be a more daunting task than facing DDT or Spade head on? Facing the man who took them both down...

I believe we can figure out what happened to Magere Hein by examining his last days at the Deathlist forum. https://forums.deathlist.net/profile/89-magere-hein/ My theory is that each thread that he posted in (starting with Cruyff) symbolizes something; he wanted to send us a message subliminally. Until now, no one has been clever enough to decipher it. It all started on 24 March 2016 with the death of footballer Cruyff, a prominent Dutchman. Since Magere too was a prominent Dutchman in this forum, his posting there hinted at the ”death” of Magere Hein, the account. "Death" here symbolizes inactivity on the forum, just like Cruyff is quite inactive in life these days. The next one he posted in was MHDP Obits. That thread is about worldwide coverage of celebrity deaths. In this case, it symbolizes how the deathlist forum community (with members from multiple countries) will someday acknowledge his (like Cruyff's) inactivity (”death”). I, Predictor, would for example symbolize the absence observed from a Swedish perspective, like Aftonbladet writing about Cruyff. But what exactly did Magere Hein plan to do? Well, the next thread he posted in was the UFOs one. In it, he even talks about launching and flying away. Is this symbolism for something else too or has he literally gone off to space? I would've said it's the former until I noticed something about his The Grey Horde team in DDP. Notice how 3/20 picks are astronauts? That's a suspiciously high number for a non-theme team. So it seems that he has decided to emigrate from Earth, but wouldn't he be awfully lonely up there? Well, that's why we look for another clue in his next post in the DL status updates thread. As you can see, this was around the time Random Canadian stopped being active due to the whole rack incident. I'm just speculating here, but I think Magere (seeing that RC was upset at the time) decided that this was his perfect chance to get someone to accompany him far away from Earth. If it's an empty planet, then they would be the ones to populate it like Adam & Eve. Lastly, in his final post, he makes a cryptic comment about a strange language called Grunt, that appearently everyone speaks. The question is, everyone where? Hmm. Another reason to believe that he has moved to another planet in another galaxy. It feels good to have finally solved the mystery that has been plaguing us for over a year. I hope he is happy on his new planet along with his new wife Random Canadian.

Never heard of the tv show he was in, just youtubed it and looks really crap. But still RIP.

Scottish football International football African football Honduran footballers of the 1960s Football people Brian Glanville didn't get on with Just for YW! Nah, I shall come up with something if the need arises, fairly quickly.

'Twas me and yes, did you have a look at it, @Predictor? I just looked at Hein's account: yes, it was all very humdrum regular posting until he disappeared. The only anomaly is that he last posted on March 26, 2016 and his last log in was March 31. So he has logged in at least once in those last 5 days and not posted anything. Since that time, he hasn't logged in at all. If I "ping" someone with an @ sign, they receive an email alert, don't they? Might be worth trying: @Magere Hein - please read this entire thread and respond to let us know you are okay. People are concerned. You don't have to stick around - just a quick "Hello, I am still alive" is fine and then you can disappear again if you like.

13 years since the death of former US President Ronald Reagan, aged 93.

Shaun, Esher, Charon's Crew

A Matter of Loaf or Death, particularly death on this occasion. RIP.

Congrats rad and utilizer.

I can't listen to this as at work but Cyrus scored last night in the football so gave this post match interview - I think if he was dead he would have mentioned it (dedicated goal to him maybe) and we would have heard so I presume he didn't and he isn't but someone will have to listen to it to confirm.

Hopelessly deadvoted to you.

I'm more shocked that Berwickshire is, probably, one of the most likely SNP seats to go Tory, and Shaun's given it to the Liberals!

Ray Bradbury died 5 years ago at age 91 Unclear if he ever got a chance to watch this video before he died

As we say up here, YW: yer ball, yer rules! Imo, of course.

Going to do an update later.I know I need to include Rickles (For Biblio) Ray Pfiefer and John Noakes.Any other hits that have a QO yet?

We are getting the record this year!Mark my word!

Congratulations Deadsox, the better team went through. Well done MSC, a great competition and I hope you do it again next year. Maybe TMIB could give The Cup a plug at the end of the year on the DDP homepage...then you might be able to start the 2018 tournament with 256 teams. That would make winning a league and cup double a bit like deadpooling nirvana.

Not long now, the Final Four will become a Final...er two. Who will win? or or or Wont be long to find out who!

First "canon" Bond, @Weebl. David Niven and several others from Casino Royale are gone, as is Barry Nelson, Bob Holness, etc etc. I also prefer Roger Moore to Sean Connery, but then, I got into the films as a kid and find the Moore films more child friendly.
