I might have posted this before, can't mind.

It's both residential and commercial. I'm wondering, is it a historical event that's resurfaced?

Anyone else see the BBC doc on Raymond Briggs this week? It's on Iplayer. He looks and sounds dreadfully frail now, and can only do one small picture a month, though he even struggles with that as he "falls asleep too easily". Felt like an obit piece.

FYI, everything is in the system, ready to go, and as I predicted it's collapsed at the point of running the VBScript. So the site could be up tomorrow, it could be up after ten days when I've begged everyone I know who has ever operated a PC for assistance.

There's the Docter Docter thread.

GCReptile's Tiebreaker 10 1. Andrew McGahan 2. Edmund Capon 3. Gerard Basset 4. Susan Bayh 5. Michael Murphy 6. Fernando Ricksen 7. Shivakamura Swamiji 8. Shirley Boone 9. Olivia Newton-John 10. Bobby Joe Maxwell Cap'n Chorizo's Tiebreaker 10 1Shivakumara Swamiji 2Andrew McGahan 3Gerard Basset 4Johnny Clegg 5Fernando Ricksen 6Noel Conway 7Herman Wouk 8Susan Bayh 9Kerri Parker 10Julie Allen This is a sudden death match - first to get a hit wins. There are 5 names in common to the lists, so in the event one of those names is the next to go, the person who has them ranked highest (earliest) on their list will win. That gives GCrep the win with McGahan and Bayh, and Capn Cho the win with Swamiji and Ricksen. If Gerard Basset is the next to go, it will still be a tie, so I will set up the Octogon in my front yard and the two of you will have to pick a weapon (wet noodle or herring) and battle to the death. Tickets for this match will be $50 each. I will post a new thread with rules for the 2019 pool and a call for entries hopefully by the 7th.

It's a new year, and that means a new Joker's Dead Pool... or summat. Joey Russ has retired after hosting this competition for 2 years, leaving me as your new host. Here's what you need to know: In the post below, there is a list of names which were chosen as 'jokers' in the DDP. Choose up to 50 of these names, as well as 5 subs. Each hit is worth 1 point. Nominate five of them as your wildcards. Those people will gain double points. PM your team to the host or post it in this thread. Point-scoring in this pool is highly dependent on bonuses. Those bonuses include: 5 points for party poopers (birthday/Christmas deaths). 3 points for hits who: are Drop 40 picks are unique DDP picks die unnaturally 2 points for hits on the 13th day of a month. 1 extra point for hits at certain spots on your list. Which spots they are, however, are hidden until they are scored. There is also an extensive set of bonuses which are hidden from players. We love a bit of mystery to mix things up As the host is aware of these secret bonuses, he will enter a non-competitive team. DDP obituary requirements. A non-obit equals zero points. Entries are now open. You have until 23:59 GMT on the 28th of January to submit your entries. After this deadline, the competition is underway until the end of 2019. Good luck to all!

INVERSE DEAD POOL 2019 As always, with the new year comes another opportunity for you all to reckon which DDP darlings have another 365 days left in their tanks. Though the 2018 Inverse Dead Pool had less deaths among its selectables than 2017 (15 compared to 20), there were still three massive scoreboard-scrambling landmines among them in Stephen Hawking, Aretha Franklin, and Stan Lee. By the year's end, machotrouts emerged the least scathed with 17 points. Rules From the list of the 50 most popular DDP picks of 2019, pick a team of 25 names who you think will survive the year. Rank your list in order of least likely to die to least least likely to die. Post your team in this thread. If someone dies and they are listed on your team, then you will receive points according to their position. If your #1 pick dies you'll receive 25 points, whilst if your #25 pick dies you'll receive 1 point. If someone dies and they are not on your list, then you receive no points. In case one of the names available for entry dies before the submission deadline, you are allowed to have one sub. The sub can be anyone from the top 50 or the 51st most popular name, who will be revealed alongside the top 50. The 51st name can not be part of the original 25 if no one dies. In the case of one of your original team dying pre-deadline, the sub goes into 25th place by default, but if the sub was previously the 51st, you are allowed to change the position of the new pick. If the above scenario happens, you are also allowed to name a new sub and I will reveal the 52nd most popular name. Whoever has the lowest score at the end of the year is the winner. NEW: If two or more teams are tied at the end of the year, the tie will first be decided by who has less hits. If they have an equal amount of hits, then whoever among the teams died latest in the year, and thus came closest to being a correct prediction, will decide the winner. If said name was on multiple teams in the tie, whoever had said name lowest will win. If multiple teams had said name in the same position, the second most recently-deceased name will be referred to, and so on, until a winner is found. If, by some alignment of the stars, the tie is of either no hits or of all of the exact same hits in the exact same positions, all teams in the tie share victory. Credit to Toast for inadvertently coming up with a peach of a topic description, and of course, credit to Spade for creating this wonderful game. Credit to Dead Cow for his job as previous host, laying the framework for the Inverse Dead Pool's OP, and the idea for a "dies during entry period" rule. Credit to machotrouts for the suggestion of the latest hits factoring into tiebreakers.

Awesome work, Spade, even if it does take a few more days

A quick check reveals my above argument was made in the 2nd post of this thred, 4 years ago... @Death Impends Please, could we have this merged with Arrogant Academics so we can all ignore Sir Creep across one thread rather than two?

Gotta be careful with making vague claims where Niki is concerned The man's lost face in the past!

Murray seems to be chasing after the age of his mother Elsie: 101-102. His father Graham carked it at only 66 years – perhaps related to the fact that he was often photographed with a cigarette or pipe in his mouth. For comparison, Graham's older broth er Eric reached 89 years.

And we all know the Russian record-keeping is the best in the world...

Doesn't get better this cuntos.

Yeah, but Deathray's the only person to have watched it in the last 10 years.

Melrose Place was huge in Germany when I lived there so ,yes and I used to really like Albion Market.

Michael Barratt turned 91 yesterday. Best known as the presenter of Nationwide, Panorama and Songs of Praise.

We really need to think about what kind of world we're going to leave to Jimmy Carter after we all pass on.

Nah. Cunts deserve to be dragged through history. * see Hitler, Thatcher, Mandela, Pol Pot, Stalin etc etc. And Bush was an utter cunt.

So much for my solo hits.
