As the wonderful findmypast site is free of charge and as they have the 2007-2017 deaths available, I've been able to strike a couple more off the list. Len Kane (1926) - ex Preston, Plymouth who was alive in 2010, died in 2011 - https://www.findmypast.co.uk/transcript?id=BMD%2FD%2FMILLEN%2F002133997 Also gone: Tom Mason (1925) ex Hartlepool It also increases the chances - so long as they live in the UK - of some of the rarer names being alive as they're not on any death record from 1911-2017.

idk she looks pretty healthy in that photo to me

Been done, too.

Rewatching The X-Files and the conspiracy group have shown up. I used to think the guy in charge was played by Jay Leno. 25 years later, I don't, obviously. But anyhow, that is Don S Williams who was antagonist in three series of The X-Files, so I went to his Wiki to see what became of him and it looked very vandalised. But then a glance at the history said that page had been edited a few times this year, yet the uncited death claim had been kept. So I went digging and found this: So yeah, Random Uncited Wiki Guy is right. Of the Syndicate, only 4 are still alive btw: Nicholas Lea (Krychek) b 1962 Jerry Hardin (Deep Throat) b. 1929 William B Davis (Cigarette Smoking Man, of course) b. 1938 All of whom will will piss obits in their sleep. And also: Armin Mueller-Stahl (b. 1930) who was Strughold the Big Boss in the film, and who has been in everything from The West Wing to Shine (for which he was Oscar nominated, so another QO cert). Peter Donat, George Murdock, Walter Gotell and the great John Neville are all long gone now.

Someone not a fan of trying to compile By-Election Bingo lists at the same time as deadpooling lists. Don't blame you though.

November 8 was declared "Caroll Spinney Day" in New York City, ahead of Sesame Street's 50th anniversary. Here's Spinney reunited with Big Bird, but looking frail:

Noticed Scopp has since had a Wiki page created. Has Rudolph the Red Nosed-Reindeer and Fiddler on the Roof among his credits.

A government funded initiative that would inevitably end up on this thread sooner or later.

Okay, but if it turns out to be cancer or if he’s suffering from complications I want my thread back.

Enfield’s a bigger genius than he’s given credit for; who knew this was a premonition of the majority of Afrobeat music of the late 2010’s?

FKA Twigs' new album Magdalene: Not easy, somewhere in the Kate Bush / Björk sphere, sometimes as ugly as it is beautiful.

Form Guide #11- Tulsi Gabbard Enemies of Hilary Clinton have some of the highest rates of suicide and depression.

Thanks for the vote of confidence everyone. I can confirm I will run a 2019-2024 By-election bingo game. It will open in a new thread sometime around the beginning of December but the stupid timing of this election means that players will have until 31st January 2020 to get their teams in.

Form Guide #4 Pat Smullen Award winning Irish jockey Pat Smullen has raced for the last time but will this December mark his final lap of all?

Form Guide #3 -Genesis P-Orridge Will Throbbing Gristle Avant Garde pandrogenous star be reunited with his "twin "and soulmate Lady Jaye Breyer this yuletide?

Optimistic. But yes., please keep this wonderful game going.

One is always too late on this platform. If I were famous, deathlist.net would know about my death before I did.

To be fair, this was fantasyland not so long ago.

Caroll Spinney is 85 today!

He acknowledged his declining health earlier this year. Keep in mind he was diagnosed with dystonia in 2015, so he could only perform the voices for Big Bird and Oscar from then until he retired last year. https://facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=290742564928522

Tazeen Ahmad, award-winning BBC journalist dead at 48 from cancer: https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-50348504 Sounds like it could have been known to some of us, I was not aware.

Nik Powell dead. Co-founded Virgin Records, produced The Crying Game, shagged Sandie Shaw. Had cancer so probably on someone's shortlist somewhere...

Form Guide #5 - Alex Trebek Will this legendary game show host resign from hosting Jeopardy by the years end?
