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.

Imelda Marcos is an excellent choice and I believe the infamy she garnered in her era makes her very deathlisty!

Was seen shaking the hands of passengers on a Delta Flight.

Congratulations, Spade! All the best with the upcoming duty, and thank you for assuring the DDP will soldier on post-TMIB given how up in the air it was looking beforehand. The top job Blackie did as host can't be understated, his rest is more than well deserved.

Wow, good luck, Spade! And well done, TMIB. It really can't be said enough how much you've been The Fucking Boss (TM) for the past eight years.

I'll personally bust your ass if you don't edit/attach the Kraftwerk song. As well as an active link. SC

Probably Carrington or Graham, Carrington seems to have had a bit of an ill stretch and Graham has been described as "frail"

Well, he would say that.

Hello! Longtime lurker, first time poster. Off-and-on dead pool participant since 1997. What took me so long? Good or even tepid DP chat is harder to come by for me elsewhere. Love the forums for research and banter. Last week's UK election news and commentary have been extensive and amusing enough where I now feel almost informed to understand the UK political posts. Despite the avatar, I am female and drink coffee. Like Buster Keaton's character in "The Railrodder", I ended up at Canada's west coast and now cavort, dally and mope depending on the seasons on both sides of the 49th parallel. (I vote in Canada's federal elections. I claim no responsibility for the US political climate.) Happy to be here, and thankful for the help the forum's given me in this year's dead pools.

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.

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.

One I totally forgot is still breathing - 78 year old P.J. Proby How the hell did he make it this far? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P._J._Proby#2010s

Could have sworn the title of this thread was World war 2 veterans.
