I was in Bratislava, Slovakia yesterday, and was hanging out in their (one and only) big mall, just minding my own business when I suddenly came across these monstrosities. My first thought was: "Hey this guy is a DL pick!" Then: "Anybody who designs such grotesque clothing and sells it for such extravagant amounts of money doesn't deserve to live into his mid-90's."

The man, the myth, the legend.... Javier Perez de Cuellar!

Yeh, like how you call me out as a troll, but yet i'm among the most popular members. Joey, go play in the minor leagues.

The last posted leader board was number 14 on 12th August but that is a bit out of date now due to the flurry of deaths. YW is providing us with nearly 2 leaderboards a month though and also keeping the master list up to date death by death so 5 stars for the Gamemeister from me.

He can't last too much longer... god needs to give that old bitch a break before his lungs burst.

I just saw your personal DeathList, and I'd like to inform you that Barbara Sinatra passed away in July. Just wanted to let you know.

The Queen will not be stepping down for Prince Charles.

You really are an unredeemable dick on so many levels!

Peter Falk

I think she need to be included in the 2018 Deathlist... it's so unstable with so many suicide attempts

Don't worry I know you weren't. Sorry I jumped on you unnecessarily. I just think sometimes people are quick to forget how shit this game was being run merely a year or so ago when criticising YW. You're getting three scoreboards a month, at one point (with me in charge) you were getting three a year. It's not an easy game to run, and he's doing a good job.

I think this years list is bound to finally break the all time record of 14. There's just too many oldies clinging on and too many from the top half .If it doesn't happen this year it never will ! This is a bit anorakish but I've worked out that the biggest deficit of bottom half hits to top half hits is -2, in 2008 when there were 6 top half and 8 bottom half hits,and in1999 when there were 4 from the top and 6 from the bottom. There have only ever been 6 years (out of 29) that have ended with more hits from the botton half than the top. This year it's currently -8 (1 from the top, 9 from the bottom) so s urely there has to be a whole lot of top half hits by years end !

Life is the name of the game...o no, wait...it isn't here.

My updated verdict for the 2017 list Almost certain (90-99%) : King Michael of Romania, Leah Bracknell, Tony Booth In real danger (60-90%) but may make to 2018: Gord Downie, Kirk Douglas, George H.W Bush, Billy Graham, Herman Wouk, Leslie Phillips, Liz Dawn, Valerie Harper, Duke of Edinburgh, Jake Lamotta Some chance (20-60%): Jill Gascoigne, Desmond Tutu, Carrington, Denis Norden, Pierre Cardin, Jimmy Carter, Robert Mugabe, Javier Perez De Cuellar, Doug Ellis, Hugh Hefner, David Prowse, Stan Lee, Sandy Gall, Pope Benedict XVI, Vera Lynn, Olivia De Havilland, Hosni Mubarak Very little chance (0-20%): Emperor Akihito, Betty White, Honor Blackman, Queen Elizabeth II, Bob Barker, Bob Dole, Gay Byrne, Fats Domino, Ian St John

Even if Drol doesn't get another hit we've reached the highest ever winning score by 20th August.

The death of Jerry Lewis, the King of Comedy, is no laughing matter when it comes to this game. 23 teams were nutty enough to think he'd survive the year and therefore The Day the Clown Died could turn out to be a pivotal moment in this competition. Here are the scores! 1st - Drol - 21 points 2nd - Grim Up North - 31 points =3rd - msc - 35 points =3rd - The Unknown Man - 35 points 5th - YoungWillz - 38 points =6th - Bibliogryphon - 40 points =6th - Dr_T - 40 points 8th - Bert Trautmann - 42 points =9th - Shaun of the Dead - 44 points =9th - The Mad Hatter - 44 points 11th - GraveDanger - 47 points =12th - Book - 48 points =12th - Death Impends - 48 points =12th - Garn2 - 48 points 15th - CaptainChorizo - 49 points 16th - Phantom of the Midway - 50 points 17th - gcreptile - 51 points 18th - Deathray - 59 points 19th - rockhopperpenguin - 60 points =20th - CharonsCrew - 62 points =20th - Toast - 62 points =22nd - Joeyruss - 63 points =22nd - WednesdayAddams - 63 points 24th - Switch - 73 points 25th - Pedro67 - 74 points 26th - Dead Cow - 77 points 27th - esher - 80 points 28th - Angels - 106 points

Don't worry Malcolm forgets he has dementia all the time.

Thanks fella, had I been less reasonable I'd likely have made more money writing about the subject. Seriously, I once had a lengthy chat with an editor at book publishing company who made a lot of money from the whole UFO/paranormal business. The gist of the conversation being that he personally found loads of the arguments and evidence he edited for a living to be full of logical gaps and lacking in substance but the sales returns indicated that the market just wanted to be told there were landing UFOs, abducted humans and some huge conspiracy behind the whole thing. One massive irony being the fact that some of the biggest selling books of all - Timothy Good's Above Top Secret and Beyond Top Secret - suggest from their title onwards that they shouldn't be allowed to exist.

I am wasted. Im as pissed as fuck so the following may only make sense to me. I have got pisssed at the local concervative club. I was there cause my mates other half was part of a duo singing there. She is a nurse, they are a Conservative club.........................

Watching a documentary on the BBC about Maxwell Clark, and apparently British scientist/maths type Sir Michael Atiyah is still with us, aged 88. Highly obitable when and where he goes.

You'd think that in the age of the smartphone alien visits would get recorded frequently. But somehow they aren't. However, I believe aliens exist. And they might have visited us. Has the Belgian UFO wave 1989/90 ever been explained? I remember it as widely covered news on the TV when I was a child. (I also wonder if it inspired the TV series The X-Files.) Since alien visits AREN'T covered regularly via smartphone, I conclude that aliens only visit rarely and in waves, because each visit is a huge endeavour. There are no "rogue" alien starship captains coming over for a visit. But they have giant missions with several ships at once.
