I like that the "related people" from a Google search for him is a hodgepodge of his contemporaries from boxing and his contemporaries from the DL.

In stark contrast with Errol Christie, Helen Fawkes proves to be a very significant hit. My own chances of winning are now well and truly Fawked whilst there is a change in leader at the top end of the scoreboard handing Drol the headline position as things stand. Here are the scores! 1st - Drol - 7 points 2nd - The Unknown Man - 12 points 3rd - CaptainChorizo - 13 points 4th - Bert Trautmann - 16 points 5th - Grim Up North - 18 points 6th - GraveDanger - 20 points 7th - Dr_T - 22 points 8th - Garn2 - 30 points =9th - Book - 31 points =9th - Morbidkid - 31 points 11th - msc - 32 points 12th - gcreptile - 33 points 13th - YoungWillz - 35 points =14th - Bibliogryphon - 36 points =14th - Shaun of the Dead - 36 points =16th - RadGuy - 40 points =16th - Switch - 40 points 18th - Death Impends - 41 points 19th - Toast - 44 points 20th - Pedro67 - 45 points 21st - CharonsCrew - 47 points 22nd - WednesdayAddams - 48 points 23rd - rockhopperpenguin - 51 points 24th - esher - 55 points 25th - Dead Cow - 58 points 26th - Deathray - 59 points 27th - Joeyruss - 63 points 28th - Angels - 77 points

That's just like when the weatherman says there is a 50% chance of rain, all it means is that either he will have something wrong or he wont.

Fastest start I could recall... 1. 2017 – 11th June 2. 2016 – 16th August 3. 2015 – 22nd June 4. 2014 – 12th September 5. 2013 – 4th July 6. 2012 – 4th July 7. 2011 – 19th December 8. 2010 - 14th October 9. 2009 - 17th August 10. 2008 - 28th April 11. 2007 – 29th July 12. 2006 - 23rd June 13. 2005 – 16th July 14. 2004 – 7th August 15. 2003 – 29th June 16. 2002 – 11th May 17. 2001– 10th April 18. 2000 - 20th May 19. 1999 – 3rd August 20. 1998 – 17th October 21. 1997 – 5th September 22. 1996 – 22nd June 23. 1995 – 4th Jun 24. 1994 – 7th July Not the fastest ever, but quickest route to 7/50 since 2008. Deathlist years by number of hits 2015 (14/50), 2008 (14/50), 2003 (14/50) 2013 (13/50), 2006 (13/50) 2016 (12/50), 2012 (12/50), 2009 (12/50), 2005 (12/50), 2004 (12/50) 2014 (10/50), 2007 (10/50), 2002 (10/50), 2001 (10/50), 2000 (10/50), 1999 (10/50) 2010 (9/50), 1997 (9/50), 1995 (9/50), 1994 (9/50) 1998 (8/50) 2017 (7/50), 2011 (7/50), 1996 (7/50) 1993 (5/56), 1992 (5/37) 1990 (3/42), 1989 (3/32) 1987 (1/31) 1991 (0/40) Though, of the years ranked above 2015 as it stands, here is the number of hits scored by expected peoples ie terminally ill, months to live types, or those who were in the news for being poorly. 1. 2003 - 6 2. 2004 - 2 3. 2005 - 4 4. 2006 - 4 5. 2008 - 8 6. 2009 - 7 7. 2012 - 4 8. 2013 - 7 9. 2015 – 3 10. 2016 – 1 11. 2017 – 3 I couldn't be bothered updating these stats in 2016 due to slowness. So what does it tell us? Fuck all. Frequently the list nabs 5-6 people in a 6 week spell, then nobody for a half year.

Since George H. W. Bush still looks purple in recent photos, I will vote for him again.

Well, let's look at the top four after Christie's death, shall we? Golden Slumbers is still in the lead with a total of 120 points. David Quantick Showbiz Pals is in 2nd with 113 points in total. Then a new person hits the podium for the first time this year (or at least for a long while, as he might've been a podium placer when Barrett unique died until John Wetton died or all the Sims jokers were played), as the Perez Christie joker one-two puts Thomas Jefferson Survives at 107 points. Finally in fourth place, we have To Kill A Gabor Sister with a total of 105 points at the moment. All four of them are ahead of Shameless, who is still at 101 points due to the nature of their team (they obviously couldn't make an exception for Christie). Well, let's look at two potential deaths that seem to be coming sometime soon, Paul Van Zandvliet and Rayya Elias. If Zandvliet dies first, then it will be Golden Slumbers at 129 points with Death Impends at second with 116 points. If Rayya Elias dies first, it'll be David Quantick Showbiz Pals first at 122 points, Golden Slumbers second at 120 points, and Thomas Jefferson Survives third at 116 points. They all would be in touching range of each other. If however, both Elias and Zandvliet dies, then the scoreboard will look like this: Golden Slumbers: 129 Thomas Jefferson Survives: 125 David Quantick Showbiz Pals: 122 RadGuy's best hope to catch up to them (and win) is for Loughlin to die, and Byrne to have a worse cancer than expected, as well as Spiridinov to die and obit and Salmon to be legit and Nevin to be fraud (as she doesn't affect the position of the top 3 at all). Loughlin and two others basically for RadGuy to have a fighting chance. I think the biggest game changer, however, will lie in 2 particular picks: Simon Ricketts and Stefan Karl Stefansson (Greg Gilbert is also an important candidate as well, but not necessarily as crucial imo). Any of the four of them can win if the combination falls into the following ways: Bert can win if either none of those picks die or Simon Ricketts dies, but not Stefan Karl Stefansson or Greg Gilbert. He also has Bruce Forsyth, which looks like a 50/50 gamble, and Patrick Cryne, but while he is terminal, we don't know how long he's been ill for. Oh, Meads needs to survive as well. Spade can win if either Gilbert or Stefansson dies, and Forsyth, Cryne, and Booth doesn't die, or if none of them die, but the Jagraj Singh gamble works (and he doesn't have the advantage of social media presence unlike Julia Perez, so that's something to note). RadGuy: Can win if neither of Nevin or Meads dies as well as getting all of Stefansson, Gilbert, and Ricketts, or having Nevin and Meads die, but get Loughlin and someone else of the other three I've mentioned. Death Impends needs all of Meads, Ricketts, and Stefansson to die to beat Bert, but Booth also needs to die to beat RadGuy if scenario #2 happens, minus potentially Greg Gilbert. I know these are the top 4 right now, but I must also note of gcreptile's team. It certainly looks a dark horse in this competition, and could be the Spade 2013 type sneak up I mentioned in the Rolling Probability thread (though he put's his team up there, his team is pretty low at the moment in comparison to the other contenders). I'm going to make a bold prediction and say the current top 4 plus The Love Boat will be the top 5 in the end. Sorry if this review sounded kind of complex, but there are so many possibilities for a win with so few who could actually win it at this point imo.

Imagine if a non deathlisters reaction to this.

Holy fuck that's impressive for a pensioner. Suppose you might as well spend your winter fuel allowance now you can keep it.

Gone for Hefner. Heaven needs porn...

I don't think I can ever outdo my "wait a second, Abe Vigoda might be doing alright after all..." whoopsie.

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

He's at an age where he could drop dead at any moment. He is 95 this year.

Well, if the person is dead, then it isn't really a waste of a spot now, is it?

Lord Vader. (I don't think he'll die; I just wanted to vote for him.)

We are now halway towards the record and the summer solstice hasn't even hit. It will be a nail biter to see if it beats the record.

That Ramsey, he's killed more people than recent London terrorists and Glasgow binmen put together...

First cert death, I wonder who will be next since Bracknell, Booth, Downie, St. John, and King Michael don't seem to be in immediate danger.

Liz Dawn seems in more immediate danger atm.

Can't believe people are seriously suggesting Liz Dawn isn't a good pick. She's been on her death bed for a decade and a half, she's one of the most famous woman in Britain and pat of one of the most long-lived and recognisable television institutions. When she does go, she'll be the main story on every front page, every news channel every online breaking news alert and she'll get an hour long special after the episode of Coronation Street that is dedicated to her memory the day after she goes. There's only a handful of surviving soap opera actors that would get treatment like that and even fewer who are known to be unwell.

Your opinion is probably coloured by the fact that you wouldn't really have a clue who she is.

That was really funny.

That makes it Deadsox 3-0 Death Impends Doesn't it?

Lets keep this clear and concise. I am an ex-milatary officer who has served 2 years in the Afghan war, spending my time abusing slaves and grilling Afghani warrior heads until I had my left arm and both legs blown off by an IED. I joined Deathlist for one purpose. To regularly supply myself with the satisfaction of the death of others and the commotion that surrounds it. Thats all thats too it. Thank you and I am sure my time here at Deathlist will be memorable.
