Always a nervous time this - hoping one of your more obscure picks for 2018 doesn't pop up in this pool!

Aye. 39 minute warning by the way for those of you trying to keep track of the time...

The Advent Avalanche is frightful But the deaths are so delightful Cancer kills as we all know Let them go, let them go, let them go.

The Fall had to cancel their Bristol gig last night due to Mark E Smith's failing health. Definitely one to seriously consider for 2018 if he makes it that long. EDIT: Ah, already mentioned in 2018 thread. Wotev... EDIT II: Tonight's Koko gig also cancelled.

Aye, 6 spots in the first 3 minutes. Let’s fill them up quickly, shall we?

King Michael of Romania

What’s the likelihood of Mark E Smith making the drop 40?

It might just be the angle but Bush looks really bloated to me (look at his hands). Downing looks in good health - would bet on him outliving Bush.

This is awesome work. So - pardon my ignorance here - who's the oldest former international? Broadis played for England. He was ill - as in rumoured to be unwell - a few years ago which I posted here but appears to have recovered pretty well.

Has met with 104 year-old Lt. Jim Downing, the oldest living survivor of Pearl Harbor.

Hey, that’ll be good for the people who are taking dead pooling seriously at least. One less person to worry about...

This Willy Wonka guy has been a forum member for only a couple of days, but he already might qualify for worst deadpooler ever. He's now posted in several thread saying "oh, ___ is like 49 years old, that's like super ancient. Good pick for 2018."

11 hours now. Who’s all excited about the 2nd annual Advent Avalanche? I certainly am.

He looks like he needs a bath. Can’t fucking stand him. And that Bond song, well don’t get me started on that.

If you live in Swaziland or Afghanistan, sure...

Alex Kiddie (b. April 1927) Aberdeen, Falkirk, Arbroath can be added to the still living.

Ewww, what's that coming out of his ear?

Christmas fortnight last year brought us 3 deaths so i think there' s still time for him (and a couple of others) to go before 2017 ends-17-19 i think we'll finish on.

Spot bollock on! The whine that comes from that bilious, morose little face of his gets right on the end of my cock.

I hope the committee reconsider his fame level and put him on DL 2018.

Now as a gay man writing ths - this may not be popular- but Sam Smith is so overrated. His voice just grates on me and IMHO he’s an average male singer who hit lucky. And why the fuck do all his songs have to be so fucking depressing all the time? He’s the most miserable gay man moaning about being dumped, getting dumped, wanting to dump and looking wistfully at a man that doesn’t fancy him (clearly because he’s fucking moaning). CHEER UP YOU FUCKER. Get drunk, pull on Grindr, fall in love but FUCKING CHEER UP AND WRITE A HAPPY FUCKING SONG...

Snap so will I.

I'm picking Bob Newhart when this opens. Because no-one else will...

As mentioned on May 6th Aye, but everbody need good nabors
