Golden era Hollywood actress and 'Hitchcock blonde ' Tippi Hedren celebrates her 90th birthday today. Many happy returns!

With Ivan Milat dead, turns out the father of one of Tobin's victims has been told by "the cops" that Tobin has "days to live": https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/news/5186366/serial-killer-peter-tobin-cancer-victim-party/

I’m currently in a very grotty pub. My DDP joker is also here - looks fine, but he does race motorcycles on public roads.

Meghan will get bored and realise that because she isn't a proper royal anymore with all the lovely stuff and things funded by the public (they have to pay back £2 million for Frogmore House) that she isn't so special. She won't have a lot of commitments in Canada other than being a mother and the occasional charity work and then she will miss acting if she isn't missing it already. I live near Windsor and my mum's close friend told me that she knows a woman who works at Windsor Castle for H&M press office etc and apparently Meghan is a right madam/bossy and always wants to get her own way. It really feels like with all the strip of royal titles, things relating to the army being stripped basically, being made to distance himself from his blood family and friends in UK, that Harry is in an abusive relationship. These are all the warning signs people tell you about - just not talked about here because Harry isn't a woman. We know Harry has had or has mental health issues so he's just giving in to person he thinks he loves.

Country and western legend Dolly Parton turns 74 today.

There really is some monumental shit being written about all this. When you start quoting that load of old dog wank 'Buzzfeed' then you really have lost the fucking plot. Lets rewind to before Harry met Sally Meghan. He was, without a doubt, the most popular Royal of a generation. Well loved and thought of as 'one of us' we forgave him his high jinx episodes and his devil may care attitudes because he really seemed to be just an ordinary guy who still hadn't and wasn't coping after his mums death. Fast forward to a point when he met the 'famous' actress Meghan Markle, star of a hugely successful 'what the fuck is it? TV series 'Suits'. Everybody was made up for the fella, the popular/gutter press waxed lyrical about how happy he was, how great they were together and how the Royal family were, finally, getting wiv da programme and mirroring British society with a mixed race marriage. Then the wheels began to fall off. Maybe it started with the private jets and Elton John but we know it ended with them becoming a couple of lecturing cunts that saw absolutely no issue flying here and there while telling the rest of us that flying was killing the Planet etc. People do not like that too much. They tried to justify it 'for security reasons' even though his brother was happy to take his family on Easy Jet or summat, with the other plebs, taking up the front rows of seats. Then they continued to jet around the globe and get all savey the planet while leaving a carbon footprint bigger than a whole herd of African Elephants cocks. We tired of it all, we were gutted about how he had changed and, of course, we began to look at her and wonder. Their announcement that they want to step back from public duties is no issue for us, is it. What IS the issue is whether they will continue to trouser millions of pounds of taxpayers money while doing what they want to do, to wit 'Having your cake and eating it'. This will not do at all! Maybe they would like to hand back the £2 million odd pounds we shelled out for to make their home all nice and cosy? As for the transition to be financially independent, they are worth over £35 million between them, what part of 'you do not need a transition period you wankers' would they not get? So, basically, if you want to go, go. Leave, let her do voice overs for Disney and he become some sort of global ambassador for whatever BUT do not fuck the public over with your unreasonable wants and conditions. Cunts.

I would like to thank msc for hosting the cup the past few years, he really did an excellent job. However, as he is now cohosting the DDP the task lies on someone else to host, and that's where I step in. Hopefully a long term host will be done in 2021, but for now, you're stuck with me. We're back in February, so, if the first round draw happens on the 20th January, this gives everyone 18 days to decide if they want to enter the Cup or not, and there's already several confirmations. In 2017, deadsox beat Spade, he beat DDT and he beat Death Impends to win the first ever Deathlist Cup. In 2018, Sir Creep got to the final in swashbuckling form, only to find wily old DDT too much. And in 2019, Spade Cooley proved why he is one of the GOATs, dominating every single match he was in like it was nothing. Bou made a nice run in the cup too. Will Spade go two for two, or will another deadpool heavyweights fight back? Or will anyone win? Quim Reaper got to the Quarterfinals last year despite not really being a favorite to win by anybody - outlasted one DDP winner in the process. It's a Cup, skill is good but so is luck. Come one, come all, and look at the new rules... Some Basic Rules which I've tried to explain as simply as possible, but which are open for questions about how obvious things I've forgotten work. The Deathlist Cup 1. This will be a knockout tournament featuring one on one matchups between Deathlist forum posters. These matches will be determined by use of a random draw, using Random.org. 2. If we have an odd number of players ie 30 like in 2017, then certain players will get byes to the Second Round. This will be based on results from the 2019 Cup ie Winner first, then Runner up, semifinalists, etc etc. 3. Players, on receiving their randomly drawn opponent, will have a ten day period to send the Referee their First Eleven for the match by PM, and one sub in case of an early death. These eleven picks can be very low hanging fruit if you so wish, as the point of the game is to score as many “goals” during the month a match is played. ie, a perfect team would look like this 1. Alan Alda (joker) 2. Jeb Bush 3. George Bush Jr 4. Bill Clinton 5. Hilary Clinton 6. Barack Obama 7. Jimmy Carter 8. Walter Mondale 9. John Major 10. Tony Blair 11. Donald Trump subs 12. Melania Trump 13. Dick Cheney 14. Sarah Palin As an example. Though in reality, that team would be shit for actually scoring points... 4. PROHIBITIONS – The following picks will be PROHIBITED ie NOT ALLOWED: death row prisoners, anyone who is a prisoner of ISIS or similar terrorist groups, people solely famous for being ill and nothing else, animals, no kids (that’s anyone under the age of 18), no one missing in action who blatantly died already. 5. For clarification, my views on Famous for Being Ill are extremely lenient by forum standards. Is your pick an obscure in their own field type, like a historian from Trinidad? They’re fine. Is your pick someone who is in coma due to a heart attack, or a dad on his last Christmas, or the like, the type no one would have heard of for anything? Don’t pick them, there’s PLENTY of other better options. There’s enough Kate Bowler (published academic, cancer) types in the world that you don’t need Kate Cancer Mum of the Mirror Sob Story. Thank you. My standards may be a little different from msc, but I will try to keep it as fair as possible. Don't expect the Laura Nutall's of the world to be accepted 6. If in doubt, submit a pick, but the decision of the ref (me) is final and is not open to any court of appeal. If you think it’s a dodgy pick, it probably is. If you think the ref is a grumpy teenager, well, he is. 7. Each match will take place over the course of a single month. For example, a February match would take place from February 1st to February 28th (or 29th on a leap year, such as this year), a March match from March 1st to March 31st and so on... 8. Games will be scored in the following manner: A person in your team dies = 3 points A unique person in your team dies = 1 more point (ie 1 bonus point) Fatality – Your joker. Double points Someone famous only for being ill dies – 0 points because not in the team (hah, bet you thought I wasn’t paying attention here) 9. Here is what happens in the case of a team member dying prematurely (ie on 28th Feb for the March game). If you discover this before the 3rd of the month, your top sub will automatically go into place. If it is discovered on the 3rd or after, sorry about your luck. If it turns out the person was dead and known to be (this is determined via a reference in a newspaper or magazine, not social media) then subs don’t come into play. This was a bone of contention in 2017, 2018, AND 2019 and I hope this clears that up. If it bloody well doesn’t I’m instituting a Hewlett Rule in 2021! 10. At the end of the month, the player in the match with the highest score wins that game, and will advance to the next round. The player who doesn’t have the highest score will lose, and be eliminated. 11. In the event of a draw, the following tiebreaks will be used: 1st tiebreak = number of hits 2nd tiebreak = average age of hits 3rd tiebreak = flip of a coin 4th tiebreak if needed = A little game of eenie meenie miny mo (hehe) 12. A player is only held to one team for a single match. If they win their match and advance to the next round, they may pick eleven entirely different people for the next round. In this way, folk who announce their terminal illness in, say, May, can be put to good dead pooling use. 13. Qualifying obits? Every single English language newspaper or magazine (ie Bleeding Cool for example) in the universe. Also Le Monde, Le Figaro, Der Spiegel, Die Zeit, El Pais and El Mundo. If you still can’t get a QO, well, really… The referee (Joey Russ) may make a judgement call based on what he is provided with, and that call will be final. Forum posts on Deathlist, and your own blog don't count, sorry. 14. For the removal of any doubt, any players who do not send in their team before the deadline will be DQ'd and replaced by the highest scoring loser. No matter how many sad PMs you send afterwards. Apologies aren’t allowed either Example Death Impends, Joey Russ, YoungWillz and msc hypothetically take part. Random.org gives us these matches: 1. Death Impends v Joey Russ (feck) 2. YoungWillz v msc This draw takes place in Month 1 (ie January) and is for matches taking place in Month 2 (February). After the draw, each player sends The Referee (ie Joey Russ) a team of Eleven Celebrities they think will snuff it in Month 2. Then, for the results: msc scores in Month 2 with a big name celebrity and a unique but obscure punk music historian. Young Willz gets a unique big name celebrity. The score is 7-4 to msc, who advances to the next round. Good luck!

Doing very well for a repeated pick for the DDP. Got the spare birth at the masters after Ronnie withdraw as he was 17th and will grace your screens in the final this afternoon against Stuart Bingham.... Good luck to him, about time he won a triple crown event....

Not that easy this year... 01. Paul Gascoigne 02. Linda Nolan 03. Angela Lansbury 04. Dick van Dyke 05. Queen Elizabeth II 06. Greg Gilbert 07. Billy Connolly 08. Doddy Weir 09. June Brown 10. Olivia Newton-John 11. Jimmy Greaves 12. George Alagiah 13. Rolf Harris 14. Bill Turnbull 15. Barbara Windsor 16. Terry Jones 21.01.2020 17. Prunella Scales 18. Michael Robinson 19. Stirling Moss 20. Henry Kissinger 21. John Lewis 22. Jill Gascoine 23. Olivia de Havilland 24. Betty White 25. Gianluca Vialli Sub: Sam Lloyd

I see that Conway Berners-Lee was picked as a Joker in a Theme Team. If he dies for a second time, will that fact alone guarantee him a QO this time around?

Please pardon my tardiness. I did not notice my name on the list until just now. Entry eta is 4-16 hrs

24 hours to enter. Otherwise, the draw for the first two rounds remain as they are.

Okay I have added two new reactions with functions like those suggested. Shocked and facepalm.

DDP Pick Robert Maclennan QO: https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1230206/Lord-Robert-Maclennan-dead-death-Lib-dem-news-leader-Social-Democrat-Party

Somewhere between highly improbable and highly implausible.

Glad to see that I'm not the only one who can't add links.

Not that I'm slow on the uptake, but earlier when I saw this I thought: "Some newbie updating Deathray's pool, he's going to be pissed when he gets back..."

So you are absolutely, certainly, never ever, ever, ever mirandagurl from Halifax who posted a whole 11 times before?
