I would like to share a personal experience with you all about drinking and driving after a "social event" with friends. Last night, I was out at a party. I had a few cocktails & shots followed by several pints. Despite my merriness, I still had the sense to know that I was over the limit. That's when I decided to do what I have never done before: I took a taxi home. Sure enough, there was a police road block on the high street but, since I was in a taxi, they waved it past. I arrived home safely without incident. This was both a great relief and surprise because I had never driven a taxi before. I don't even know where I got it from and now that it's outside my house, I don't know what to do with it.

That was me who mentioned him. He's my 12th hit. Sad that he's gone.

* got milk? *

Ryan Giggs? Never would have guessed.

London attackers. Worth a poll but no option. A/Whitee N/Black C/half caste ( for younger viewers, think Obama, Giggs, Marley or Hamilton) D/Brown. CCTV all over the place, so being London, and the shit nature of the bomb....I'll go... "C".

No one seems to care about this. Now if it were in Europe, maybe..........

That reduces my list of notable 1913 births to 9 names, though I am naturally far too polite to starting a fucking poll on them!

They were formed in Minnesota. A large number of the population have some Scandinavian heritage. Hence the reason why the "football" team is called the Vikings.

Yes, but that's because British football fans, en masse, tend to be wankers. Vast majority of Koln fans were peacefully excited and mingling in both ends of the arena like they do every single week in Germany with hooligan antics a rarity. No wonder Brexit won, if people are intimidated by their own shadow, tbh.

If that had been any UK club you'd guaranteed thousands of arrests and banning orders.

Chill...you just doubled the DL search party. Anyone spotted him yet. Just cut the lawn; no sign of him cowering in my shed

This guy keeps pushing boundaries and I'm sure will be heading to an early grave one day soon........

Life-affirming to see so many of us rating Husker Du, then- some small comfort in the circumstances. Played The Warehouse Songs and Stories on the way to and from work yesterday

I never got to see him play live, but would occasionally see him around town (perhaps once or twice a year). I was at a venue called The Hook & Ladder, which was where they sadly held a benefit gig for him a couple of months ago. He came in to the club to speak to Lori Barbero, as she often works behind the bar there. I was introduced to him, shook his hand, didn't think anything of it until someone said "you know that was Grant Hart don't you?"

Whilst the fans are wankers for selling on their tickets; the club must shoulder some of the blame. Where did they expect 6 for friends tickets to go when they're for a match that nobody could be arsed attending in the first place?

Who the fuck let him on a horse?Surprised he didnt end up on the motorway.

Can someone change this guy's name to Dunnsky1211?

Grace Kelly lost her crown on this day 35 years ago, aged 52.

But this is your first year of deadpooling, or isn't it?

Here's some ideas for some new names on DeathList 2018. (If there is someone who was on an earlier list, tell me.) John McCain: Reason for Notability: US Senator and Presidential Candidate (2008). Age in 2018: 82 Why they should be on the list: Diagnosed with a brain tumor in July 2017. If he dies at the average survival time, he will die in November 2018. Stephen Hillenburg: Reason for Notability: Created the longtime-running cartoon SpongeBob SquarePants. Age in 2018: 57 Why they should be on the list: Diagnosed with ALS in March 2017. Most people who have it don't survive for much longer. Jerry Maren: Reason for Notability: Actor and the last known surviving Munchkin from The Wizard of Oz. Age in 2018: 98 Why they should be on the list: Age alone should do it. Also, just look at his picture on Wikipedia. Chuck Yeager: Reason for Notabiity: First person to exceed the speed of sound. Age in 2018: 95 Why they should be on the list: Age. Also, possibly those G-forces. Walter Mondale: Reason for Notability: U.S. Vice President under Jimmy Carter. Age in 2018: 90 Why they should be on the list: Age, not to mention that Carter was also on the list more than once. Johan van Hulst: Reason for Notability: Dutch politician and humanitarian. Age in 2018: 107 Why they should be on the list: Age. Definitely age. Marge Champion: Reason for Notability: Disney's model for Snow White and The Blue Fairy in Pinocchio. Age in 2018: 99 (This was posted on her 98th birthday.) Why they should be on the list: Age. Most of my choices are for age alone. Kim Jong-un: Reason for Notability: "Glorius" leader of North Korea since 2011. Age in 2018: 36 (according to North Korea), 35 (according to South Korea), 34 (according to the USA and Switzerland) Why they should be put on the list: If the USA and North Korea go to war, that will most likely kill him. If not, diabetes will, because he hogs all of North Korea's food. Jim Leavelle: Reason for Notability: Pearl Harbor survivor and Lee Harvey Oswald's escort. Age in 2018: 98 Why they should be put on the list: Age, not to mention he saw his fellow troops killed by the Japanese and a man get shot (PTSD). Juan Carlos I of Spain: Reason for Notability: King of Spain from 1975 to 2014. Age in 2018: 80 Why they should be put on the list: Resigned because of "personal reasons". Not sure if that has to do with his health. Wilford Brimley: Reason for Notability: Actor (The Thing) and spokesman for Liberty Medical. Age in 2018: 84 Why they should be put on the list: DIABEETUS. Mel Brooks: Reason for Notability: Director of Spaceballs and Young Frankenstein. Age in 2018: 92 Why they should be put on the list: Age, yet again. Last but not least, Sidney Poitier: Reason for Notability: Actor and director. Age in 2018: 91 Why they should be put on the list: Age. There was also probably something wrong with him when he directed Ghost Dad.

Still no clear winner either - mebbe I should put a poll up.
