Weirdo dream for a weirdo. So last night, I was dreaming that for some reason, the government had insisted all deadpoolers lived together. So they'd chucked a bunch of us in the same house, only all the other Deathlisters were all famous folk. So there was me, charon (Jerry Sadowitz), Sir Creep (Ed Harris as his character from the Abyss!), DDT (an old farmer I didn't catch the name of - looked a bit like the Fast Show farmer tbh) and Bou (Joanna Lumley). Apparently Deathray was in the house but asleep, and Death Impends lived there but was in court as "the neighbours thought his name was a threat". Charon/Sadowitz kept looking out of the windows for the police coming. Anyhow, knock at the door and I got sent to answer it. Sir Humphrey Appleby from Yes Minister. He walks into the room, and everyone else is all "Oh its Bibliogryphon here for the rent!" I said it was Sir Humphrey and Ed Harris/Sir Creep went "Yeah but everyone knows he's Gryphon!" They haggled over money, and Sir Humphrey/Biblio forbid charon from knocking down a wall in the house as it could hurt or kill people. "Only English passersby!" Anyhow, then DDT, who had been silent up to this point, suggests we had Sister Wendy over for tea - his only line in the entire dream - and then I woke up. So none of the rest of you got to show up. Very weird.

This picture's from 2015, he looks a bit yellow. Liver problems maybe?

I hope I wasn't going to be Sister Wendy.

Thought she died in 1983. She was great in The Addams Family. On a serious note, no obit will come out again.

Yep. Reuters QO.

Last time I tipped an oldie to reach the dizzying heights of 120+, she died a few milliseconds later, but Tanaka does look pretty good for it at the moment...

Off to an amazing start. Rothes FC 11 v Fort FC 1

@YoungWillz, I believe there was. No point in posting about a death in a foreign language if no one can understand it. English obits only please @alt obits guy

Brb, going to spend the whole day researching because I've never seen most of those names. Seriously drol, how did you manage to find 25 of them?

You could have put the 'dead tag' on then.

Strangely I also had a deathlist related dream last night. All I remember from it now is that I coincidentally met Toast on holiday and we went on a carriage ride together.

I saw him live in February, during which he explained the brief shaved head look (he said it was his anti-selfie look - nobody would pester him for a selfie while he's looking like a Russian war criminal). He also had the same sort of voice as the episode, the explanation for which is simply that he was at the end of an intensive 130-date tour.

He has beaten cancer once again.

Mortimer had a triple heart bypass after it was found his heart was 95% blocked, all is well now apparently. Whitehouse had stents fitted before and helped his 'stent buddy' Mortimer become less of a recluse after his surgery by taking him fishing, during which time fishing seemed such an exciting pastime they decided to televise it.

Only one bike, which I lumber about rather slowly on. Not enough flat road around here. In the mid 90s the only pro in the top hundred believed to be clean was Chris Boardman. Of course you can reply doper, but, as you well know, you can't say it with 100% accuracy, however forcefully you make the point. Accept I probably shouldn't have bitten, but it's the vitriol I find mildly offensive. I maintain that Phillippe Gilbert is a very brave man to cycle 60km with a broken knee, as is Lawson Craddock who has now cycled 3000km with a broken shoulder. I'm not sure what drugs you think they're on which would diminish their agony, in fact even if they were dosed up to the eyeballs on morphine - which they're not - I'd still think they were brave. My thread. Cyclists count! Yours Subhuman Scum

Mel Rosen, who wrote numerous crossword puzzle books , including 'The Compleat Cruciverbalist', and who was published over a dozen times in the New York Times, has died. He was 76 or 77. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/26/crosswords/mel-rosen-1941-2018.html (obituary written by New York Times crossword puzzle guru Will Shortz)

He's a wino, not a pint man.

I hope not. B teams are for people that can’t make a decision. Make a decision and have some testicular fortitude ffs. I don’t even know how that horseshit got started. You’re supposed to have a main team and if you like, up to two THEME teams. ‘People who didn’t make my main team’ isn’t a theme, unless you’re a coward. Make a decision, be a man/woman, and hope for the best. SC

Surprised to see her scatter the ashes in the ocean, I thought she'd leave them rolling on the river.

Has Faye Dunaway with him?
