I always try to stay out of these discussions but i find it interesting that this is the thread where the discussion is being held about the fame requirements of the people on this list. I honestly thought this discussion was going to be held on the "Bill Gates Snr."-thread, the first time in my memory that someone made it on the list just for having good sperm.

“Planning a fun 98th birthday party.” Looks like she’s going almost all out this year. https://www.closerweekly.com/posts/betty-white-is-planning-a-fun-98th-birthday-party-inside-details/

Sorry for being a little slow but heartiest congratulations to Death Impends for his long overdue win. As has been said by many others, it never looked in doubt. Well done! Thanks again to Spade Cooley for all his hard work to keep it going and welcome back to the fold. I look forward to seeing what poor unfortunates comprise David Quantick's Showbiz Pals....a list who no-one would ever want to make. Good luck to all of 2020's competitors and good luck to all of those who have been selected (perhaps I should say most as I am sure there are 1 or 2 whose deaths won't sadden me). I'll take my seat in the grandstand and watch you all battle it out. Cheers Dr_T

Come on, is this ‘Bring your parents to DeathList day’? Cunts.

Natalie Trundy dead at 79 https://www.imdb.com/news/ni62736869?pf_rd_m=A2FGELUUNOQJNL&pf_rd_p=b688335a-3266-4b15-ab7b-ab8edbc4b1c4&pf_rd_r=S7HFV7RY75QKJNYGKDVW&pf_rd_s=center-6&pf_rd_t=15061&pf_rd_i=homepage&ref_=hm_nw_tp5 starred in 4 Planet of The Apes films and other TV/films like a The Twilight Zone

British actress and Carry on legend Sylvia Syms turns 86 today.

He's one of these modern sit-on-the-fence cunts. The sort of luxury that can only be afforded to arty farty types with mental spasticity. What has the world come to when we sanction fucking non-gender shit. God gave you a cock or a cunt and if he gave you neither you're a hermaphrodyte there's no other fucking choices okay? So stop wasting everybodies time telling them how special you are cos there's a a screw lose in your fucking brain. Neil is a fucking he, whatever he fucking calls himself and whatever he fucking dresses up in. His poor fucking family having to put up with his Queenie drama bollocks.

INVERSE DEAD POOL 2020 Another new year arrives, and with that comes another round of reckoning the lingering prowess of the DDP's most popular selections. Of the 16 expiries throughout 2019, drol only selected 3 and notched his second win in the process. Rules From the list of the 50 most popular DDP picks of 2020, pick a team of 25 names who you think will survive the year. Rank your list in order of least likely to die to most 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. 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.

For a moment I thought you were going to say he had died

You can’t deport people if they were born here. My understanding is that most crime is committed by British subjects.

Forget suspending the rule of law. A bit of mass deportation could solve London and every other UK inner cities problems.. They can't do anything about it because gangsters infiltrate police forces and have done since time immemorial....

Well, judgement of whether I'm having a pissy fit lies with me not you. And as I said you only joined in 2016 so you've never witnessed a proper fucking good old meltdown on here by a member. Go luck at some of the Zorders/Phantom shit.... or a bit of old Banshees Scream. You're a mere imitation twat, even Bladan is a sane poster compared to you, and ten times entertaining for that matter - and he's a pound shop version of either of the former.... Trust me the idea that anything I say makes you laugh, makes me fucking sick.... i'd rather provide entertainment to fucking Nazi soldiers, at least they had they excuse of following orders for being cunts? I mean whats yours besides a bang to the head as a kid and poor parenting? Doll. Who you fucking calling doll? Is that the best insult you can fucking come up with? Just fucking do one. But it would be equally as unoriginal and fucking pathetic as your own fucking name.... so why not go for the much more amusing one.

No, you missed the times when he appeared on Letterman. I suspect that, back then, Letterman wasn't a shit version of Russell Harty so, maybe, good ole Theodore was pretty well known State side. That would have been enough to make him famous for input on here. As I am struggling to find any kind of, even semi irregular, appearances on Wogan , I've gotta assume that G PO is as well known to UK audiences as your mother is to the North Korean comedy scene.

Aye, *yours*. Far as I'm concerned, anyone who enters a team full of cancer mums, no matter how ironic, sort of loses the moral outrage higher ground. Same as anyone who once picked a kid and now whinges about sitcom stars or what not. Now that the DDP has its most anti-FFBI co-host since OoO, things may change soon. But that'll depend on majority vote of the Cmme at the appropriate time, and continual whinges on the forum wont change that.

Yeah, belated congratulations - this is a pool of some skill so good picking and good ordering!

As a fellow non-Brit, this is one of the reasons why I like going to Deathlist. It introduces me to so many people I would've never heard of otherwise.

Buffalo’s oldest citizen has died. Mamie Lang Kirkland was 111 years and 116 days old when she passed away Saturday in her Buffalo home. She was the second oldest person in New York State, according to Gerontology Wiki. SC

Congratulations DI on a fantastic victory - never in doubt for the last few months. We were all playing for the minor places. Well done Dr.T for a valiant defence of the title. I'm pretty chuffed with my 3rd place finish- very much beginners luck. I suspect though that I will spend the next 10 years fruitlessly trying to match it. Thanks Spade for hosting - I can only begin to imagine the amount of work that went into it.

The Scottish actress Elizabeth Sellers died a few days ago aged 98 https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/elizabeth-sellars-dead-barefoot-contessa-actress-was-98-1265543

There's always one pick that makes your face do contortions you didn't know possible..... Guess 'Bill Gates dad' is this years.....

Thanks all. With winning the DDP the white whale of my deadpooling career, it is very satisfying and relieving to have finally achieved it. I very much felt like Bert Trautmann in 2017 throughout the year, in that this would be the now or never year for me to win the DDP. It was all very fluid throughout most of the year and I did not feel confident in winning until the deaths of Fernando Ricksen and Suzanne Whang. Even after that, the death of Jimmy Spicer gave me a sinking feeling (that turned out to be for naught) and I certainly sweated at the deaths of Vervoort, Baghdadi, and Frates. The last few months were a crazy rollercoaster of a scoreboard, and it was very fortunate that my lead was sturdy enough that I stayed in first while the rest of the top 20's arrangement kept getting scrambled. These last few months showed that while Whang and Legh were the most obvious components of the win, the more commonplace names on my team (Bracknell, Conway, and James were the last three in) were just as crucial. Once again referencing Bert, I did briefly mull whether or not to go out on top and retire TJS from the DDP. With life getting busier, I definitely am not going to have the time for research I used to. But of course I remain active in the community (so even if I end up having very little research time I can still cobble decent teams out of forum names) and I want to continue my hit history (I could hit the century this year should I get at least 13 hits with my current team). And as I alluded to in other posts, I only wanted one win, and so I welcome the new freedom victory gives me, to pick Jimmy Carter instead of the more coldly logical fringey name. My thanks to the 14 fatalities, who all seemed like good folk undeserving of their maladies, but whose contributions to the effort and interesting lives of wine expertise, disaster awareness, and singing bizarre I Will Survive parodies to your tumors shant be forgotten. And of course, thanks to Spade for his hard work running the DDP and holding the fort as we head into the well overdue committee era.

...it is also very appropriate for Phillip Jablonsky as well! (Thanks to S. Kiltrunner for this most excellent picture.)

If only that were true of Rosie O’Donnell
