Yep, I will be 112! (62 now). Will be a Supercenterian still blogging and posting.

He could do a tribute to Richard O’Sullivan, Dec on Dick.

You were sitting on that death notice (a brief one admittedly) from the mighty Greensboro News and Record and didn't say? Silly boy! Largest newspaper in Guildford County, North Carolina, in case you didn't know (ie, that'll be all of us, I'd assume...) Death Impends vs Heef 6-10 Gcreptile vs Sir Creep 3-11 Joey Russ vs Grim Up North 6-6 Phantom of the Midway vs The Dead Cow 10-10 Sean vs Charon 0-0 Roverandout vs DDT 0-6 Captain Chorizo vs Young Willz 0-4 msc vs Deadsox 6-7

As my companies ‘realinement’ gathers pace and all overtime is cut from April , do any of you other deathlisters have ways of saving money on everyday items from supermarkets And what wouldn’t you change at all or avoid like the plague? For example- I’ve stopped using Ariel £5 for 24 washes and gone onto Lidl washing powder. 100 washes for £7. It’s good stuff even got a curry stain out of a white shirt. Impressed by Wilko washing up liquid as well- half the price of Fairy. Personally coffee is totally not going to be cut to a value brand. Someone bought me one from the pound shop- tasted like burnt sausages. Vile. Any more tips?

I've not paid so much as a penny in bank charges for at least 20 years by simply not going into the red. I'm not a rich man by any means; I just live within my budget. My nephew on the other hand pays about £50 a month in charges because he can't resist spending money he doesn't have.

Charlotte Rae well enough to attend 103rd birthday party of friend and actress Patricia Morrison.

Moves can be stressful.

Actually deadsox didn't do it better than everyone last year - however he did do it better than his opponent in each round.

We got a small overdraft on the main bank account when weans were born. Useful safety net, but the better safety net is budgeting and not spending what you don't have, as you say. I'd advise against paying bills with direct debits. Experience of those is that the fuckers come off the account on any day of the month bar the one they're meant to! So in the long run.. Btw, Cat, Fifty quid? A month? After bills/household necessities, I don't spend 50 quid on myself in a year Shopping tips? Cut unnecessary stuff, buy the cheapest sensible things (ie if you're buying, say, lean mince cheap, there's probably a reason...). Tins, dried pasta, cut out ready meals etc. Basic pasta and a tomato sauce is cheaper than most ready meals. Healthier too. Only adds about 10 mins to prep time too. En Passant's Point 3 is a good one there. Shop around so you know the cheapest places. Basically budget the bugger to the 9th degree, then you'll find space for that preferred coffee. Draw up a household budget for the month, stick it to the wall where you'll notice in your bedroom, and stick to it. Oh, and open up a savings account. Apologies for the Captain Obvious offerings...

Good Idea Phil. Been getting more and more parsimonious the more I learn about the things we buy. Although I don't have a great deal of money neither am I in penury, however like many I object to being ripped off. Here's a couple of things I learned to do. 1.As you point out, branded goods cost more than non branded or own brand. Usually, though not always to no benefit. You are double whammied here, you pay more for the product, and then have to suffer the advertising your money paid for. A Vicious circle. 2. Try to check everything back to a cost per kilo. Cheddar in Lidl at 4.20 a kilo for example, or a branded cheddar in the big 4 at double that. Can you tell the difference? I usually can't. 3. Avoid prepared food there is a massive markup on this. Something like sliced potatoes with cheese on top marketed as potato-au-gratin or such might be 3 or 4 times the cost of its constituent parts and saves nothing but a few minutes of prep time. Work out the cost - See 2 above. 4 Lidl and Aldi are generally cheaper but not always so. I'm sort of a veggie and like those Linda McCartney sausages. Used to be 1.29 at Lidl/Aldi, recently both put them up to 1.49. This is still better than the 2 quid the big 4 ask for exactly the same thing, but occasionally they do them for a quid on an offer. (seen in both Morrisons and Tescos), you might have to buy 2 for that, but they are frozen so its not a big deal. There's probably more of me being a tightwad in my head somewhere, but lets not post a doctoral thesis on it here. eh? Incidentally, if you mean instant coffee, I definitely can't drink the cheap stuff, but the golden roast own brand stuff is indistinguishable from gold blend to my palate. If you mean real coffee, as you were.....;)

Luck is a huge part of any Cup competition. Unless you are Barcelona, of course.

No. It is not a newspaper or magazine, it is an organisation's own website. This however is a newspaper obit. Halstead Town FC, incidentally, are only 10 leagues below the Premiership, so maybe watch for them on MOTD any century now... PS Remind me next year to leave a blank post at the start for the current scores. They're becoming a right bugger to find. Death Impends vs Heef 6-10 Gcreptile vs Sir Creep 3-11 Joey Russ vs Grim Up North 6-6 Phantom of the Midway vs The Dead Cow 6-10 Sean vs Charon 0-0 Roverandout vs DDT 0-6 Captain Chorizo vs Young Willz 0-4 msc vs Deadsox 6-7 Any of your more obscure picks died off my radar then?

Dec on deck ( Lifr aboard a cruise ship)

Starting to believe she'll make it to 2019. Sex drive is a good sign that she's still mentally, and physically healthy.

I think people's ages should be measured by their pop-culture references. I wonder if that would help... Looking through my most recent posts, there seems to be regular references to syphilis. Hmmm. Not really current pop-culture there...

Just searched for Tony Kleese (and Shaun Bailey) in the sites that announced his poor health, and the original article of his hospice care entrance has been edited to say that he has passed. Does that count for him?

I"m flattered to be listed as one of the "younger ones"

Or as he was known; Laz-R-Us

Deathlist 2068: 101-year-old charon is still chastising Joey, now in his mid-sixties, for his fickle birthday, VPN, multi-personality disorder and everything else, theoldlady is mentioned in the 'World's Oldest' thread, and Deathray is back after his 5,517th forced sabbatical.

Magic Circle announce death of oldest member, magician Fergus Anckorn, aged 99. Was a POW in WW2, helped build the famous Bridge on the River Kwai. Picture not the most flattering there, makes him look like a Rangers executive.

Congrats to Sir Creep for picking the diplomat Ivan Ivanov, who was the USSR's ambassador to Afghanistan for two months. He died July 11th, 1948.

Burmese is still an in use (within the country) description for people from Mynamr/country formerly known as Burma, as apparently both names predate colonialism and stem from the name of the majority ethnic group in the country, the Bamar. Thought cool, so sharing.

Gotta feel sorry for DJT Jr, that's clearly a guy who just wanted to go and spend his life fucking D-list reality TV stars with fake tits and then his dad goes and becomes president so he has to be #respectable.

I guess so. Either that or extremely bored out his skull tonight.
