    "Hospitalised in Florida with abdominal issues". Can't think of any reason why he'd need to fake a hospitalisation at this moment, so I can only assume he has mere hours to live.

    An official record isn't kept but in December 2021, it was reported that there were less than 75. So definitely under 50. There are only two notable ones still about – Ken Potts and Lou Conter. They both turn 102 this year.

    Believe it or not, I have not watched any of the Harry interviews or intend to read his book (partly because all the best bits have pretty much been on the news all week). It was on the news that I heard him moaning about how hard done by he was because the rest of the family flew off in a private jet without him when they were rushing to the Queen's bedside at Balmoral. From memory was it not the case that as the Queen was quickly slipping away, everybody was keen the get to Balmoral yet he was allegedly still arguing about how Meghan should get to come too? Did his plane not land in the UK some hours after the Queen died? It strikes me that this shows how selfish he actually is, more than anything else. It also shows how narcissistic he is. He has made the fact that they didn't wait more about him rather than the fact that the rest of them, including two of the Queen's children, were really just desperately trying to get to Balmoral before she died to be beside her. But no, he thinks they should have waited for him to finish his histrionics and for his plane to come, despite the fact that she died hours before hand. If he couldn't be there, why should they get to? In the end, of course, they were all too late to get there with the exception of those who were already in Scotland. But can you really blame the rest of the family, who had a shot at perhaps making it on time, leaving without Harry who had no hope in hell of getting there before she died? If it should transpire that Harry did cause a delay in getting the others there, I can't say I would blame them for resenting Harry. Nothing to do with the institution, but everything about being the family that he keeps going on about. Selfish, self-indulgent bastard.

    And so that concludes 2022. Did a quick review to see if I missed any hits and doesn't look to be the case. All I could find was Vilma Hollingbery apparently dying in 2021 w/o QO, which would have no impact on scoring. What looked like a one-sided Book runaway for many months instead proved to be a narrow and riveting competition in the final weeks of the year, that ultimately ended up with @Banana on top. Book had an insane January, with five hits - Gary Burgess, Igor Bogdanoff, Robert Durst, Russell Bishop, and Mustafa Kayirici - exploding him up the scoreboard with an astonishing 290 points. George Perez and Susie Steiner were canon picks Book shared with the chasing pack, but other teams had the differential tools to make it a race again. gcreptile had Israel Dresner in January, Pau Riba in February, and Phil Read in October. This placed him in the position to take the lead with Vicky Phelan's November death. Banana also loomed ominously, with his noted differentials throughout the year including Dresner again, Isabel Torres, and Jean-Louis Trintignant. By the death of Julia Reichert at the beginning of December, it was a tight race with all three having plausible routes to victories. Banana had the narrowest - he needed just Pelé to die, as any other Reptile or Book hit would make it mathematically impossible for him. And we were very close to that happening with Reptile differential Gianluca Vialli dying days after the new year. It was a tightrope act, but as the fates would have it, Pelé and nowt else was exactly what happened. Though Book and Reptile made better mileage of their hits, Banana can thank his win to a superior body count - Book was 8/12, Reptile was 9/12, Banana was 11/12. Pelé's death on December 29 also makes 2022 the HPDP with the latest decisive hit, with the previous record holder Rose Marie having given yours truly the 2017 victory on December 28th. 2022 was the first year in which more than one team crossed the 400-points barrier, although the points record overall remains The Dead Cow's 425 points in 2018. I had to ponder a bit on the most interesting team. BabyBlue was a finalist for the award the year before, their team remains suitably interesting, so why not? 20 points for them. The 50 bonus points for 13th place go to DevonDeathTrip, whose eclectic perennial team had quite the good year with top-of-team regulars Francis Jackson and the Digital Nun dying early in the year, plus further hits with Norma Waterson, the Queen, and Pope Benedict XVI. And so goes the final scoreboard for 2022. Congrats to Banana! 1. Banana 420.81 2. Book 410 3. gcreptile 400.81 4. maryportfuncity 364 5. CaptainChorizo 335 6. Salmon Mousse 291 7. drol 284 8.

    My favorite sitcom ever. The acting talent and the writing were first-rate, so much so that the episodes still hold up remarkably well today on re-watch, and we're talking about a show that first came on the air almost 40 years ago.

    Has sold the studio featured in Dance Moms. A sign of something?
  25. 1 point
    She'll definitely get an obit in the UK as dance moms is an incredibly popular TV series in UK with viewing figures up to two million. Kinda of pig headed to think just because YOU'VE never heard that other people haven't as well. Where did I mention other people? All I said was that I haven't heard of her. The main point of my post (which you rather rudely ignored) was that I have some experience of the disease she has. You're an insensitive little cunt.
