I think she's a shoe-in for next year.

I have never really listened to much Glen (country music definitely isn't my thing) but just came across this version of the William Tell Overture. Didn't realise he was a good instrumental guitarist as well a singer:

Let's hope the water hasn't been drugged...

Holy column inches, Batman! Burt Ward writes an article for the Hollywood Reporter on the late Adam West: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/adam-west-remembered-by-batman-star-burt-ward-1012823

Here is an updated list of people with obitability and health issues that deserve to be included in 2018 and those that they should replace. Liliane Bettencourt | Mary Tyler Moore* Johnny Hallyday | Joost VDWH* Linda Nolan | David Rockefeller* Toto Riina | Ian Brady* Olivia Newton-John | John Noakes* Norman Lloyd | Peter Sallis* Beverly Cleary | Errol Christie* Carl Reiner | Gay Byrne Mary Carlisle | Desmond Tutu Barbara Bush | Pierre Cardin José José | Ian St. John Sheila Mercier | David Prowse Lucia Hiriart | Robert Mugabe Charlotte Rae | Javier PDC Eberhard Van Der Laan | Bob Barker Stefán Stefánsson | Doug Ellis Prunella Scales | Sandy Gall George Shultz | Hugh Hefner Christy Dignam | Jerry Lewis Charles Manson | Fats Domino Michae Caine | Hosni Mubarak Abdul Halim | Jake LaMotta That's 22. Of course three more people will die at least, and if that happens, Mubarak, LaMotta, and St. John should stay.

Being mental is so exhausting. Yesterday I was the most awesome human being the world had ever seen, and today I'm a grotesque worthless piece of shit. Tomorrow I'll probably be awesome again. Wibble.

He does. And he sucks one of those massive dummies and toddles around in a baby grow. So I've been told.....

Lets not get 'Thick as shit' confused with Alzheimers. Until that diagnosis is confirmed im going with 'Thick as shit.

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.

I agree with your general point, Joey, but Moore was bloody massive over here, not "little known". People say "it's a miss" all the time, but there's been three astounding Deathlist misses this century: Princess Margaret, Boris Yeltsin, and Patrick Moore. All massive, all Deathlist regulars, all missed.

I am absolutely against Fats Domino being dropped, and I'll tell you a story on why he shouldn't be dropped: Once upon a time, there was a little celebrity known as Sir Patrick Moore. He was an astronomer that got pretty famous. One day, in late December 1992, the committee decided to put Sir Patrick Moore on their list. He would return for the 1995 list, and then he came to the list for six whole years from 2005 - 2010. Then they dropped him. I think they were planning to bring him back for the 2013 list, but then, on December 7, 2012, he died. He made a total of 8 appearances on the list, yet he was never a hit for the list. Domino already made 9 appearances, it would be a much bigger disappointment to see someone who made 9 appearances, and then get dropped and die than dropping someone who is somewhat more frailer than him and only making one appearance and die. If you read the Patrick Moore thread, you can see all the rage that happened on that fateful day.

Marvellous news! Thank you once again to TMIB for all his sterling work and for Spade !

Shucks, thanks guys. I'm much better at this when there's no death predicting going on. My margin was far higher than I expected it to be truth be told. Some gut instincts on the popularity of Jo Swinson and Vince Cable to get back in, a bit of luck on the Sinn Fein advance in Northern Ireland and reading the tea leaves in Scotland as to where the SNP were vulnerable saw me home. Still missed Salmond mind. Now to go for victory in the By-Election Bingo!

By the way. .. for next year, its too early to say, but what about... : - Jackie Stallone - Ozzy Osbourne - Mel Brooks - Silvio Berlusconi - Valery Giscard d'Estaing - Pele

Billy Graham - there are rumours around that hes a 'bit frail'..

That wave already began, with Brady, Noakes, Sallis, and Christie all dying within the last month, and that's only the one's who were deathlist hits. Also dead in the last month were Chris Cornell, Roger Moore, Gregg Allman, Manuel Noriega, and Adam West. I think it's safe to say the wave have already begun.

Surely with a whole host of BBC journalists tweeting about her death one of the fuckers will have to write something nice about her in an actual article.

valerie harper because i want the space in the list filling in

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

If no one else goes, the 18 candidates for this year that need to be dropped for 2018 should be Pierre Cardin Stan Lee Bob Dole Robert Mugabe Javier Perez De Cueller Betty White Queen Elizabeth Bob Barker Doug Ellis Honor Blackman David Prowse Jerry Lewis Sandy Gall Pope Benedict Fats Domino Hosni Mubarak Desmond Tutu Gay Byrne

Thoughts and prayers with his family....

Possibly 'cos they haven't released a decent single in years
