Original. No. And much, much fewer members invested in what would become a very boring game. No. It was started in the UK. By all means start your own American one if you resent the UK-centricity that much. Which many of our American friends (and friends from many other nations) on here really don’t mind (I won’t say all; we all know what a ballbag SC is). And crucially, it’s not “only” make the UK news; it can make the news in as many nations as you could possibly wish, just so long as it’s newsworthy in the UK. The official DL is the official DL. Like it or lump it. Anyway, thanks for dropping by.

Don’t get The Old Crem started.

Fuck off you massive twat.

You really are a stupid cunt of the highest order

The originator of this thread seems to have gone quiet.

Magomed Tushayev, Chechen warlord president Ramzan Kadyrov's general reportedly killed in Ukraine. Sadly not Kadyrov himself. He sent around 10,000 soldiers to Ukraine.

The event has been cancelled by the Foreign Office. That should tell you all you need to know. It's not difficult to figure out why this might not be a good moment for such an event. Agreed.

This really is the cherry on top of the shite. You think that, because we have problems, we can’t empathise with others, who have, let’s face it, much more immediate and severe ones? Cunt of the highest order. Piss off to DeathersList, Engineer.

Babbling side thought of mine: Maybe we'll know when Pleitgen is getting worse when his son, CNN correspondent Frederik Pleitgen, leaves the war zone? As I am seeing him right now, I just wondered what's more important, his father or the war coverage?

As I am (very) nearly finished totting up the 2020 Jokers scores, I thought I would stop in on this pool to see where we are up to. I have noted the following hits: 03/02/22 - Christos Sartzetakis 06/02/22 - Lata Mangeshkar 17/02/22 - Jim Hagedorn 19/02/22 - Gary Brooker 19/02/22 - Nightbirde 22/02/22 - Anna Karen Have I missed anyone?

He sends his thanks.

Another quiet few weeks of the Death front. These are the hits that I am aware of since the last update on 3rd February. Let me know if I have missed anyone - scoreboard to follow. January 21st - Leonor Oyarzun February 3rd - Christos Sartzetakis February 6th - Lata Mangeshkar February 11th - Isabel Torres February 12th - Beryl Vertue February 16th - Gail Halvorsen February 16th - Jack Smethurst February 19th - Jane Marczewski

Fascinating.

OK, Death Impends now has my very hastily thrown together Round 2 team, so I can begin dealing with any messages sent to my account now without being accused of cheating.

Moss Cass, former Australian Minister for Environment and Conservation, Minister for the Environment, and Minister for the Media, dead at 95: https://whitlamdismissal.com/government/deceased-whitlam-ministers

Sometimes in life things are exactly how they seem. There are no big conspiracies going on, I'm not a slave, I've got free will to do what I please as long as laws aren't broken and others don't suffer. I'm grateful for my vaccines, and acknowledge that those that make decisions in democracies are imperfect, make mistakes and are sometimes incompetent, but we choose them to lead us. People who spout shit like this are allowed to do so because of the freedoms they enjoy, like the rest of us, and for that you should be grateful no matter how much mischief and harm results from it.

Absolutely Boris Johnson wouldn't do this , he'd be wiff waffing on zoom thousands a miles away.

Could've easily fled to safety even before Russia invaded. The vast majority of world leaders would abandon their countries for their own safety. Yet, Zelenskyy is willing to die for his own country. You have my respect. Godspeed!

Problem is Russia is a much bigger army capable of defeating them no matter how hard they fight and they are giving it their all. If Zelensky or Klitschko are killed which seems a very realistic prospect that will make them martyrs and galvanise the Ukranians further.Even if the Russians overthrow the Government I can`t see the Ukranians stopping fighting.It will be bloody whatever happens though.

Aye, so far its a classic example of underestimating your opponent. Though the fact they are conscripting and bringing in the warlords to help already suggests the Russian military might not be as big as they claim tbh.. Just a thought.

Ernie Andrews (Wiki) - American jazz, blues and pop singer dead at 94

Some people refer to HRH Prince Andrew as The Nonce

That doesn't prove anything; the only source for her being alive is one of those auto-generated birthday websites. There's a pattern here of 1940s actresses who are not really notable, nor alive.
