After being banned in Russia, I think it would be right putting Paddington on the suicide watch list.

Press Release: Excitement remains high in the YoungWillz Training Camp. One player is teetering, another is on oxygen and frailty abounds. Despite the manager's best efforts, they are all determined to see March (which year, they haven't told me). Word has reached me that my opponent is currently leading a certain Hare's Pool, and if that is a taste of the rate at which his picks topple, my team have no chance. Subs are limbering up in case February 1st is a stretch for the first team.

Serge Gainsbourg with his daughter Charlotte - Lemon Incest I think she was nine at the time.

It might have been meant to be "affy good"......

"Most people will agree with me" On which metric are you basing that on? I think you'll find that's bollocks.

Thanks. Wasn't anything major, just something I ate upset my stomach. Glad it wasn't the stomach flu or anything that could last a while.

Hope you are feeling better Phantom of the Midway.

Haha, that’s three deathrace deaths announced in one day. If only this carnage happened a few weeks earlier...

Photograph of Hawke from the front cover of a new book: *************** UPDATE: Turns out he nearly died in 2015 from a stomach virus he contracted in the Middle East: "[Blanche] doesn’t know why she kept his brush with death in mid-2015 a secret. It’s easier that way, maybe. Less complicated. Blanche whispers what it felt like to be by Bob’s bedside in Sydney’s ­St Vincent’s Hospital. She figures he was three weeks from death, wilting, dissolving in his bed as a cocktail of super-antibiotics played a roulette game of survival inside his body, fighting a stomach bug that got so severe it left him with a paralysed intestine. “I went and bought our graves,” Blanche says. “I did it without asking him. I went with a friend who was advising a cemetery, a new cemetery, and I said, ‘I think it’s time I bought our graves’. ” She breathes deep. “They’re difficult decisions,” she says. “Then telling the children. Telling them so they weren’t terrified while also not letting the press know or any of the news media. That was really ­difficult and … umm … I was just sort of ­eyeballing the nurses and so forth, just saying it without saying it, you know.” This is not to leave the hospital room. Blanche looks out to the balcony. Bob strikes a match to light his cigar. “I remember we were ­fishing once, this was in the early 2000s,” she says. “He hooked a shark. It was a very big and slothful shark up in Queensland and he fought that bloody thing for three hours. Three hours! It was unbelievable. He would have been 72 or 73 and he just would not give up. That’s him. He won’t give up.” Like most games of chance Bob Hawke indulges in, he got lucky in 2015. He came good, though he faced a year of medical appointments and regular doses of the intravenous antibiotic Vancomycin to ward off life-threatening infection. He was typically stoic throughout but Blanche was forced to confront notions of a life without Bob Hawke in it."

QO never in doubt was it? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-5300383/Oldest-working-actress-Connie-Sawyer-dies-105-LA.html

I'm sure Spade already has a note of those who have died but were not included in the first update. I'm only including deaths from the point I started, otherwise I guess I'd just be encroaching, gotta start somewhere....hope this clarifies.

Ah, you ninja'd the post before I could complete it.

An early reminder for next year...this isn't the Deathrace! Anyhow, Connie has died...sorry, I don't recognise you, I must have Saw-yer in something....so a few teams gain POINTS!

Looks like I've got my second' hit 'with this pool with Connie Sawyer.

It's 'Au Fait' you bell end.

Congratulations to those who had Patrick Cryne. I can't be too upset as his was a name that hadn't crossed my path. Guess I never searched for the right combination of keywords. I find it harder when a pick is shortlisted, fails to make the final cut, then ends up dying. The lead is indeed yours, Joey Russ. Well earned.

This has deffo lurched into Zorders territory.

Fuck off Paul you utter twat! I know it was you cos you're the immature wanker of the admins. "Oh look I'll weild my fake internet power and make a stupid joke out of someones usename?" Go fuck yourself. Change it back you cretinous scottish alcoholic whose mother probably tried and failed to sell you to junkies..

Exactly the sort of thing an utterly moronic cunt like you would do, hey? If anything that particular musician should be getting stick on here for allowing his child to do that. There's an extreme rate of changing of the mind in people who are children when they make that particular decision, in the same way a lot of sexual experimentation dies off in the late teens, so does a lot of what that child is dabbling in (I'm trying fucking hard to phrase this in a way that doesn't name either of the two parties, as no doubt the almighty banhammer will be swung by the overlord of doom as he masturbates himself of to the little internet power he has). It's a decision that should be made and facilitated as an adult. This isn't a case of "oh famous singer's daughter's doing drugs" - it's something that any photo of the family in question from one date compared against another date will easily throw up. The decision they've made isn't wrong in itsellf - the decision that's wrong is that of the musician to allow his child to go through with it and then have the nerve to think that he can somehow avoid anybody ever finding out that his child - he being one of the famous people in the world - has gone through with it. All the best to the kid, but that musician is one arrogant idiot. And you're no better for cowarding to the potential of being done in by him financially.

Thank you for your feedback, which I have carefully considered before ultimately deciding that I'm right and you're wrong.

Again?! Talking about bad luck.

Huh? The only time Gordon Brown's ever been rated is for his ability to be a useless, inept, festering old colon.
