I think LGBT+ people and Scots both have a uniquely dreich outlook on life. Everyone on this forum does, but we're exposed to the world being a spinning ball of doom before some others. In turn we attempt to make light of it. This isn't a projection of course. Not like it's coming from a bisexual Glaswegian downer's perspective or summat...

No No!! You mean... 'Hish omishon from thish yearsh lisht was schocking, poshitively schocking.

US blogger on aging, Ronni Bennett, died last night at 79: https://www.timegoesby.net/ She got some Washington Post coverage, and her pancreatic cancer diagnosis got her into my Hare's team last year. She seemed to be doing okay with it though, for quite some time.

Nikki McKibbin, who placed third on the first season of American Idol and later appeared on Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew, dead at 42 of an aneurysm. https://www.facebook.com/craig.sadler.963/posts/4032596400087311

No visuals of him speaking but he sent a tweet. Not sure if that tells us much though.

Here’s one of his best stares:

Today's score is 326. One scorer, Buffalo Phil. Old Crem 65 Paul Bearer 50 Quim Reaper 45 Kenny 45 Redrumours 40 The Unknown Man 40 Paddyfool 40 MPFC 35 Buffal Phil 30 Steve the troll 15 Exu 10 Marenghi 5 Coffin Lodger 5. Well done to Old Crem who is Octobers winner. The deaths are mounting up again, so for November the scoring system will be +/- 25 for 5 points. Within 5 deaths will get you 10 points and spot on will get you 25 points. I only hope I remember all that when the figures are announced.

He was undoubtedly the worlds favourite tax dodging wife beater

What about Mary Costa who played Princess Aurora in the 1959 Disney version of the Little Mermaid? She's now 90.

It's been pretty quiet on this thread lately. Soooooo.............. A victory is a victory. We travelled to Inverness today where we faced a young Clachnacuddin in our First Pre season match of the season. Fort ran away 1-0 winners with Aidan Taylor getting the goal. An early goal secured the win for Fort But with very high winds in Inverness in horrendous weather conditions chances were limited for both sides. It was very good for the lads to get 90 minutes under their belts as we prepare for the upcoming season and a chance to see some new signings

His omission from this years list was shocking, poshitively schocking

RIP to one of my all-time favorites.

Dunno if this is legit but.....nah, it can't be. Fucking good tho!!

My prediction: Maybe it's a bit to optimistic for the democrats.

At least he made 90 ... quite shocked as he seemed in good nick in the most recent photo I saw of him

Damned shame. R.I.P Sean.

That's a massive miss. One of my favourite actors. Met him once in London City Airport when I was a kid. He gave me my autograph and was really pleasant, which was somewhat of a relief given that he didn't have the best reputation for dealing with fans. Can't say I always approved of him as a person. The allegations of abuse against his first wife and his tax evasion left a lot of people frowning, but as an actor, nobody can dispute he was truly amazing.

Wow... Sad. RIP.

As a fellow native of Edinburgh this is very sad news.

Sad news a true acting legend RIP.

John Astin was in 90s classic kids TV Eerie Indiana. And in me and drols fave film of all time hehehe. He is a proper legend even before we bring up the Addams Family which was fucking huge. Also the riddler, and the only person who could replace Frank Gorshin in that role.

I agree with you but at this point, I'm way more convinced that 2020 is gonna either be a tie with 2017 or a record breakin year : we're only 3 hits away from 2017 now and there is more than 3 months to go. One week ago I was not so sure about the result of this year but there's a few names that can surprise us all (Delors, Walker, Barker, Stiles or Woodward who have all been really quiet recently) and some others that are lingering and could drop dead anytime now (Spinks, Trebek, Sutcliffe, Smith, Philips, VGE, Dole…). I predict something like 17 or 18 deaths by the end of the year but I could be completely wrong and there could also be no other deaths till the end… Time will tell !

Some folk are of the "what's the point in stopping now", especially if its one of their few vices they can still get at. When my grandad had 3 months to live, he stuck to the cigs and whisky till the final hospitalisation. When I mentioned it, he went "Aye, good point, I might get cancer" and then laughed himself hoarse. He'd have found this place funny too if he weren't dead tbh.

This year seems to mark the end of a generation for the List. The committee has to come up with something new next year.
