Long live the Living End unique streak!

It's fast, it's furious it's f***in' good fun. Teams of 20 topplers posted on this thread or PM'd to MPFC will be collected into a masterlist to provide a carnival of carnage, the counting of which goes live in the first second of 2018. Points aplenty pour into the scoreboard until someone snags the stupendous total of 2018, at which point the event that used to be the fastest deadpool in common useage (until MPFC started something faster!) slams on the brakes and the lucky winner is duly given metaphorical back-slaps and allowed to claim a prize worth about a tenner (though tradition thus far dictates this turns into a charitable donation)*. Closing date for entries is midnight on 30 December 2017. · Bear in mind an alternative to the charitable donation is a double measure of spirts or a couple of pints bought at a DL Con and such an event is scheduled for 24 March! And here's that list of entrants in full: Bibliogryphon - bg Book - bk Captain Chorizo - cc Dead Cow - dc Deadsox - ds Death Impends - di Deathray - dy Devon Death Trip - dt Drol - dr Earl - el FixedBusiness - fb FrankieSayRelax - fs GC Reptile - gr Gooseberry Crumble - gc Grigori - gg Grim Deeper - gd GrimUpNorth - gu JoeyRuss - jr Lard Bazaar - lb Maryportfuncity - mp MSC - ms NiceGuyEddie - ng Phantom of the Midway - pm TheQuimReaper - qr Sean - sn Toast - to Torva Messor - tm The Unknown Man - tu Mr Whit - mw YorkshireBanker - yb YoungWillz - yw Ol' Clive James gets into the Deathrace spirit, simply glad to have a presenting job again and totally heedless that he's now in the firing line after our previous MCs - David Cassidy and Johnny Hallyday - withdrew their services to those making deadpool picks for 2018. Reigning champion: MSC (2018 winner) And those former champions in full: 2009 - Raskolnikov 2010 - Nobody, I mean f***in' nobody, reached the winning points total 2011 - DDT 2012 - Spade Cooley 2013 - DDT 2014 - Death Impends 2015 - MSC 2016 - DDT 2017 - Death Impends

Please welcome to the list of living centenarians Mrs Marsha Hunt, Hollywood starlet who was stabbed in the back by John Huston and blacklisted. Still well enough to give relatively in-depth interviews, and still living at the same two-storey apartment she moved into back in 1946.

Just got back from the US. Applebees has a great special: 2 dinners and 1 appitizer for 20 us dollars. Didn`t realize they were having trouble. It does seem though that with the ethnic shift in America, ethnic restaurants serving Mexican and Asian food seem to be busier than American-style restaurants and fast food joints.

Okay, will tidy the above up with some photos and the like this afternoon but it's on. Are you?

It does seem a little tenuous given that regional BBC obits are not accepted. Especially as England/N.Ireland/Scotland/Wales are dismissed as regional.

Diana is one of Charlotte's middle names so that seems unlikely. I don't think we'll see Diana as a first name until George and Charlotte start to breed.

Anyone have Mark Garnier

I think that counts @DevonDeathTrip due to precedence of the obit Billy Simpson got as shown above...

Does this get points for Les Mutrie? KICK-OFF Hull City 0-0 Nott'm Forest After the usual pleasantries, a minute's applause for the late Hull legend Les Mutrie, and a loud, resounding roar around the KCOM, we are underway. Hull City to kick-off. We're off.

I stopped injecting insulin twice a day last Wednesday after 5 years of having to do it. Chuffed to say the least On meds only now and if I can lose a bit more weight I should never have to inject insulin again.

At least you won't be short of pussy then!

Saw Nick Lowe and Los Straitjackets last night at the Turf Club in St. Paul, Minnesota. Was working the merch table for them. I get to do the same tonight. Nick.and the guys were in awesome form. Basher is having a revival of his career since Yep Roc reissued his back catalogue. And the good news is, I get to work with them again tonight.

Fair point. The article also mentions that Christopher Booker is the only other one left alive of those who collaborated with Ingrams at Shrewsbury School, and at Private Eye. Another snippet: "Ingrams went teetotal in 1967, followed shortly after by (Barry) Humphries, “a very heavy boozer”. Those who gave up drinking survived; those who didn’t, didn’t."

Macaroni Grill closed 37 restaurants in 2017, but it wasn't enough. Debt grew and sales fell, while costs for labor and commodities increased, leaving the Italian dining chain $12 million behind by August. The situation isn't unique among the U.S. casual restaurant sector, which increasingly shows stress. Ruby Tuesday, Applebees and Outback all have announced closings. SC

Parsons is doing great for 94 can see him lasting a few years.

Helpful metric to keep in mind with any future threads you want to start: Can you honestly see any updates on Mr. Leavelle besides "happy birthday!" and "dead"? Okay, maybe a semi-yearly "surviving link to Kennedy assassination remembers his interactions with Oswald" article. Certainly a fascinating historical link, but really not enough legs for his own thread. And no, lifeis is not Life is Beautiful, just a coincidence in names.

No, I don’t think it’s Life is Beautiful Sir Creep.

I have kittens every time I see this thread bumped.

JPdC. Random.org says Sandy Gall. P.S. Fats Domino looks a bit like a black Hitler in the DL photo.

Well I only come here for the music and TV recommendations. It's a great shock to learn the rest of you deadpool...

Am I white? How would you know?

You don't have the imagination to come up with anything original.

I predicted this would be a record list and I am now probably going to be proved right.I would say that even smashing it and getting around 20 is possible.Still many over 95s and terminally ill folks on the list.I still think Stiles Bracknell Downie King Michael. and Gascoine are all unlikely to live much longer.

I'm amazed with how this year's list has managed to turn itself around. We were not doing particularly well at all mid-summer with quite a few obvious misses including some big names, but then August and then September have brought a lot of hits. So it looks like 2017 will almost certainly be the record-breaking year - still got 3 months left to go and there's no way all 36 living people on that list will last that period of time! (Although stranger things have happened...)
