@John Key, forgive me for being a nightmare and repetitive. But I'm just trying to be honest with you and the other players. Leslie Phillips was my hit number 15 instead of number 16. Thank you for your work and once again I apologise for any inconvenience.

I sure love the red wave that everyone is so sure would happen

Neil Young is 77 today

Actor, cricketer, journalist, former President of RSO Records David English reportedly dead: Bunbury Cricket on Twitter: "Sadly I have just heard from the family that David English has now passed away. He’s now at peace " / Twitter Roles in Lisztomania, A Bridge Too Far and Sky Bandits. Couple of roles on Emmerdale, appeared in Ripping Yarns and Bergerac. IMDB: David English - IMDb

The death of Veli Seppa should bring me to 263 which becomes the 4th highest total in AO history (behind Gerard Tierney '16, Cancerous Hatred '17 & Accthorp '06). If Tom Parker holds as the youngest hit, the 25 pt bonus would take me to 298 which would only trail #1 all-time by 10 points. Looking at my remaining list, not looking likely, but possible.

May interview of Jerrold Jerry Samuels / Napoleon XIV. Looks a bit frail and shaky but sounds great

I'm sure you aren't.

BREATHLESS 19/50 28th October 2022 Jerry Lee Lewis celebrated his debut on The Crowdsourced Deathlist by snuffing it aged 87. The rock and roll wildman popularised wild piano scores such as Great Balls of Fire and Whole Lotta Shakin Goin On. However, his career was badly hurt when it was revealed he had married his 13-year-old cousin, and his nickname of The Killer looked unfortunate when two of his wives died within 14 months of each other in the 1980s. That's pure Robert Durst bad luck, that is. He was arrested for shooting his bassist accidentally, and for not killing Elvis in the 1970s. In later life he married his previous 13-year-old bride's sister-in-law, and had a different kind of stroke, which led to his spot on this list. In 2017, Vince McMahon, on a whim, decided to call a PPV Great Balls of Fire, assuming the song was out of copyright. Legal matters with the elderly rock and roll star were sorted ahead of time, however, when it turned out that Jerry Lee Lewis and wrestling commentator Jerry "the King" Lawler shared the same lawyer. Of course they did.

RIP THE Batman

Amazingly he was chosen in my wee home Deadpool. Gallagher was the worst ‘comedian’ of all time imho. But smashing things with a wood mallet over and over (boy THAT’S funny) got him a mansion overlooking the ocean on Malibu Point, so what do I know?

Tariq Teddy now gravely ill, his liver has stopped working and suffers from ascites, in other words his stomach is filled with water, and he has run out of money for meds and treatment

One of the most shocking deaths this year, to me

Nah, @Sean is quite right. They're total loons. If you go onto the Just Stop Oil page on Twitter then click on the profiles of their top activists, you see from their own bios that they describe themselves as far left/communist/anarchist and want a revolution. They're genuinely nuts and their "climate armageddon is now" nonsense is pseudo science. It's not widely accepted amongst the scientific community. I'd have their organisation banned. The Home Office did it with Islam4UK. I don't see the difference. Both forms of domestic terrorism. If you block an ambulance taking a critical patient to the hospital and they die, that's terrorism. No doubt. The Government need to get tougher on them.

RIP Knew it was coming but still a sad one

Was just saying this to the lads down the pub last night.

All we need now is Frank Field flying to Dignitas. Come on teams, let's hang on, to what we've got....

IIRC wherever the last point on Earth reaches midnight on Hogmanay is the cut off, i.e. wherever you are. So if you are in Oz the cut off time is midnight their time, San Francisco would be different. Don't know how strictly that is enforced though! I think Joey Russ is probably right.

Actress Julie Payne, 78 years, died already on 7th June: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julie_Payne_(actress,_born_1940)

Was an interesting piece indeed. It seems like prostate cancer, what I thought was his worst problem, is probably much less concerning for his family than his dementia. It could be heart wrenching and incredibly difficult for them to deal with this situation, however, it does not necessarily mean that he's likely to meet his maker in the near future. As long as he's not neglected, his condition might be managable in the short run, though their quality of life would obviously be affected. If you didn't know whether anything could be worse than an agonizing cancer then you could probably learn a lot from his case.

The death of Frank Cady made me wonder how Sid Caesar is doing. For those who don't know why I mention it the answer is easy. They were both born on the 8th of September although Cady was 1915 and Sid was in 1922. Also notice that CaDY is very very close alphabetically to CAEsar.

On the upside, plenty of old chums waiting for them

Morrissey collapses on stage in Swindon...

What are you not telling me?
