Was scheduled to do some filming in Hastings today and that didn't go according to schedule. If it had I'd be blogging a picture of a tenner and a donation box at their lifeboat station here. That said - MSC requested that charity be the recipients of his prize and the following is from an email received a few minutes back: Thank you for donating £10.00 to the RNLI - it's good to have you with us. Because of you, the 23 people we rescue each day get to go home to their families. Your donation puts you right at the heart of our lifesaving work and will ensure we're always there. So once again, on behalf of all our lifeboat crew and lifeguards who risk their lives to save others – thank you.

Just a heads up, we should be seeing the first update this weekend. Teams, drop 40 and the first 12 deaths of the year.

FTFY

Happy Birthday to the one and only Buzz Aldrin who is 88 today!

Team Pm'ed to @msc and I have seen his team and kept it safe. Good luck in the next round @the_engineer ha ha...

Team sent,good luck to my opponent

Ah Joey, wait till Rover wins the whole thing. No easy games though, whoever wins this will need to win some very tough ties imo. Yep, got it, and all entrants qualify easily, thanks.

Just a heads up, I know that a DDP update is coming very soon. There are already five people that I know are jokers from forum research this year that has already died! Anyways, I wanted to bring this up because if the first update is sometime tomorrow between 6:00 AM Central Time and 4:00 PM central time, then you’re going to have to wait for me to come back from an event before I can count all the other jokers and open this dead pool up. I will also be reducing the time of entry to one week so this dead pool can start up before the end of January. Anyways, whenever this opens, good luck everyone this year. At the very least, you should beat your host, as my team is random this year...

Pm joey, he was around about then....

Oh, I hope this continues for a long time yet, though I respect our decision to step down as host. If no one else volunteers to do it, then I can be of help for next year, assuming that everyone wants this to continue...

Bingo night or is she showing us how to win at Connect 4?

First DDP-hit of the year for me. RIP.

Happy Birthday Mr Aldrin. And well done on 48 years of not letting out that that little film you and your mates made was not actually a moon landing. Fine work.

Good luck youngwillz . If you went out in round 1 last time means one of us will get into round two for the first time.

Diagnosed with prostate cancer, but vows to live to 100...

RIP Dorothy Malone.

Their was no room for the all time greatest footballer Pele on the deathlist , couldn't remove someone who was voted 4th most promising new comedy act of 1953 behind Lenny Bruce,Soupy Sales and the the fat one from Large and Little.

An insight as to how football hacks work. Fantastic story in the evening times last night about a former celtic player being arrested for drunk driving having crashed 500 yards from his house. the former player? paddy crerand. He left celtic in 1963.

Chairman of the meeting sets down the very first DL in stone: Meeting in the pub ends in a casualty over a dispute as to whether Ozzy should be included:

Incidentally, I might as well mention now that I intend to stand down as organiser of the Crowdsourced Deathlist at the end of this year, and so if forum members wish this thing to continue into a 4th year in 2019 and beyond, someone else will need to take over "host" duties. I was going to mention it later in the year, but I figured since it's decided, it might as well be mentioned now, to give others a chance to decide if they wish to take over.

The Sheik was defeated on this day 15 years ago, aged 78.

The rest of the forum is quite quiet. Theoldlady is merely sparking conversation - surely something we should welcome. Quit being so grumpy.

Wonder how this blubber-butthead is doing? Thought for sure he`d be a goner by now.
