@Rotten Ali I hope you don't mind but if I do not hear from you before the end of the month I will open entries based on those already discussed and the actual start date will be 01st March 2018. I will admin and I hope YW will be looking over my shoulder. I realise people are busy and it was probably a bit mean to expect them to run the pool but the prize is to send everyone scrying into your topics of choice.

Certainly will have to, as Lisa Magill's are now banned.

It’s the Patriots (groan) vs the Eagles this year. I think I know which one I want to win...

I’m laughing at the team names The Right To Die (just look at the team) and Sex Ed On How To Ruin Your Career. Those are some golden names right there...

I think this is him (he made a post in the thread before). Funnily enough, they had Thuy Thanh Truong on their masterlist, though I knew about her case long before that...

First update...

68 - heaven's gate

Precisely. Didn't Cavuto have a major heart surgery a few months ago? I wouldn't be surprised if he croaks before Dukakis.

That article was so sad. He really has a great way with words.

No more diamonds for Audrey Hepburn after this day 25 years ago, aged 63.

but to be fair, he wasn't in your list either

He's back !!! New article: " As my latest stay in hospital came to an end, the second series of The Crown was just starting on Netflix. Since my prescribed formula for rehabilitation consisted mainly of the instruction just to lie there and shut up, I had nothing to do except maintain the horizontal position and watch the delightful Claire Foy plough onward in her role of Queen. I thought she coped nobly. " " Soon, there will be new actors to play the Queen and her consort: and soon, in real life, the cast must also change. Some of you [my emphasis] will be lucky enough to see it all happen. Meanwhile the rest of us can go on being reminded about what life was once like. " Hang on in there Clive. (even though you're on my list)

Old, older, too old, OdH

Feliz Cumpleaños Señor De Cuellar, May you have many more years of health, so that you can continue living for no apparent reason, except for being the mascot of some obscure British website.

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:

Welcome SSWD You're Justin Bieber aren't you?

She's not that keen on deadpooling, more of a casual "taking the piss out of how bad I tend to do at it" interest*. And she occasionally suggests picks (Falkholt for example) before the forum brings them up, but she got asked to join the uni one, she had an invite to play the Westminster/Holyrood one, and I have suggested a "combined theme team", but she's not interested, and fair's play. *For example, now and again she'll go "Oh, (famous person here) has died, were they on your list?", I'd say no, and she'd reply akin to the snooker commentators on Mitchell and Webb: "oh, and that's a bad miss!" Anyhow, in 2017, after a few of these, she said with a sN-word: "Have you actually had any successes in that game this year?"

Got a new avatar. For those who don't know the old one, it was this. This new avatar is quite remarkable, as it has never been seen on the internet. Today it was announced that a long lost scene from a Stan Laurel film was uncovered in the archives of the Fries Film Museum in Leeuwarden, the Netherlands. About 5 miles from where I live. This scene was from the silent movie "Detained". Laurel had yet to form the legendary duo with Oliver Hardy. The scene involves an inmate who is thrown trough a wall. he subsequently and by pure accident lands his head in a noose and his neck is stretched way longer than possible. Copies of the film were usually cut short for home media and this scene was thought lost forever. So here's the avatar. A never seen before picture of mr. Stan Laurel, before he worked with Hardy. 16 minutes are now known of the film that had an original lengt of 20 minutes. These 16 minutes, including this scene, was uploaded to youtube.
