Ok chaps, the usual 3 teams have been sent, got the auto response from @Banana so hopefully all is good and nobody bloody well dies between now and the end of the year (as they often do when my teams are concerned - yes, I'm giving Betty White's grave a hard Paddington stare I borrowed from @msc)!!

Makes mental note for the next time I write a DDP obit for a 99 year old

Gabriel Kinney dead at 101. Russell Hamler, 98, is now the last of the Merrill's Marauders.

Thread locked. And Sulu placed on mod preview now that he's been amply warned.

Charlbi Dean's autopsy results released. Died from bacterial sepsis, caused by an infection. The removal of her spleen after a 2008 car crash, which she narrowly survived, put her at greater risk of bacterial infections.

Rizong Rinpoche (wiki) dead at 94.

Ive tried to send you a PM but you can’t receive (box full maybe?) but commiserations about your brother - I don’t know anything about him or how old he was but the anniversary of the loss of any family member is normally a sad time and a time for reflection. Cheers, GUN

Six places left to fill -so six names needed and now into the agonising of whittling down 17 names into 6.

Damnit, I should have added that to my Menahim Presssler post.

Subroto dead at 99.

Either the last hit of 2022 or the first one of 2023 I think

He's been gone years, hasn't he?

Peter Falk?

Michael Horse, best known for his role as Hawk in Twin Peaks is 73 toady

Congratulations Arghton!

That defies logic.You can't honestly tell me that Bill Roache or Rupert Murdoch are better picks than Gianluca Vialli and Johnnie Irwin just because they are elderly?

You should be able to post now. I've just validated you.

Patriarch Maxim of Bulgaria, 96, has been forced to issue a statement confirming that he is still alive, following media reports that he has died, or was gravely ill. It's almost worth entering that last one in the DDP, just to give TMIB a hard time. On the question of titles I was reading in the paper this morning that Prince Edward got Earl of Wessex after he saw it on telly when there was a character in the film, Shakespeare in Love with that title. Edward thought it sounded cooler than the Duke of Cambridge, the one on offer at the time. The thing is that while the rest of us sit around our Christmas lunches pulling crackers, these arseholes are trying out titles on each other which are then "bestowed" and the rest of the lumpen numpties (otherwise know as subjects) just swallow the whole rigmarole and double their orders for Hello magazine. I'm with the mob.

Apart from the statements about no-one liking or respecting honez, having no friends, nothing to live for, your chances of flying to Australia and finding him (not to mention butchering him to death), and your belief that you are the lord almighty, I can't find anything to fault in your argument. Suppose we better remove him then
