4 pointsLe Pen in hospital. Woodward at the very least nearly a decade with end-stage dementia (and possibly worse). Jimmy C in palliative care. Charlton too ill to do family funerals. Starmer-Smith practically on his deathbed. Delors meant to be quite ill. Ackland said elsewhere to be in frail health on this forum. Kundera with heart issues. Faithful with COPD/in a care home. Rolf (allegedly) in deathbed. Willie Nelson frail after being gravely ill last year. Linda Nolan cancer spread badly. Dennis Skinner MIA and "not doing great" years ago. Al-Fayed allegedly dying in court documents. Sonny Rollins just about hanging to life somehow. You know, for a list which looked mediocre, I can't recall a time we've got to the end of the first quarter and we've had quite so many obviously frail good picks on the list suddenly.

3 pointsEmperor Otho died on this day 1954 years ago, aged 36. - Otho was known for being vain- the first century historian Juvenal wrote that he would look at his reflection before going into battle, and that he would use dough as makeup. - Otho married the mistress of Emperor Nero, Poppaea Sabina. Nero wanted to marry her, so in the year 59, he forced him to divorce her, and appointed him the governor of Lusitania (modern-day Portugal) to get rid of him. - Otho would ally himself with Galba during his rebellion in 68 AD, and succeed him as emperor in January of 69. - Yet another rebellion began as soon as Otho became emperor, with legions in Germany allying with Vitellius. - Otho would commit suicide by stabbing himself in the heart. Some believe that he did it in order to avoid a full-scale civil war. - Otho was the second emperor of the Year of Four Emperors- Galba (January 69), Otho (January-April 69), Vitellius (April-December 69), and Vespasian (December 69).

2 points… and given Joe Biden is now back in DC he’s got to make it until May when Joe jets off to Japan. Poor Jimmy.

2 pointsIf we add all of them + the 4 picks that've already died, this would be the second must successful deathlist in history, and that's not counting all the old as dirt picks like Kissinger, Lear or Barker who could die at anytime. Honestly, what you said at the end is really accurate, I remember being dissappointed with this list at the beginning of the year, but it's looking really promising as time goes on.

2 pointsA couple of weeks ago I was told I passed my final research paper, which means I have obtained my bachelor at university! It's something I'm quite happy with. And all of that while taking part in deathpools, talking about having priorities And this evening I got the news we'll get a kitten, she'll be welcomed in our home in May if everything goes to plan. It'll be the first time we have a cat since our last one passed away aged 17 at the end of 2021. It will be quite a change to suddenly have such a young animal at home but I'm looking forward to it.

1 pointHis entourage, which I presume is mostly made up of goblins, is downplaying the situation, saying it's "a minor heart attack" and "he's conscious". Sounds like he is not a dead cert yet anyway.
-
1 pointHis family by his side. Some sources say he’s already dead. We’ll see tomorrow

1 pointNot sure if this is the correct thread but was just wondering how I could get more involved with this site such as helping in an administrative capacity. I have been a joined up member since May 2018 and I am totally hooked and plan to stay on here for a very long time.

1 pointLooking at the Bonar Bridge FC website, the 'senior' side players all look to be around 11 years old. No mention of replica shirts.

1 pointThere is the potential for an exceptionally bad severe weather outbreak over a large swath of the U.S. today. National Weather Service has issued Level 5 warnings for the first time in two years (when an EF4 tornado hit Georgia), and for parts of Illinois for the first time in a decade (when an EF4 hit as well). This could get ugly...

1 pointThe issue I have with it is the apparent attitude that it's something new. "Woke" makes it sound like we have to be woken from our ignorance. Many of us have always cared about social equality and don't need lectures from young whippersnappers who assume that everyone of middle age and above needs to be educated. (Not that Kathy Burke could be described as such)

1 point(THEME) Great-Dead Britons First year in DDP. (THEME) A-List british people Julie Andrews David Attenborough David Beckham Tim Berners-Lee Tony Blair (singer) Bono Richard Branson Michael Crawford Terry Deary Bob Geldof Boy George Eric Idle Mark Labbett John Lydon Harry Maguire Paul McCartney Steve Redgrave Cliff Richard J. K. Rowling Robbie Williams I finally got around to looking through some of the Theme Teams, and this one caught my eye. Leaving aside the question of whether "British people" is really a theme in a British Dead Pool, the real issue is what are Bob Geldof and Bono doing on it? Of course you are welcome to the two insufferable cunts, but I'm fairly sure that they still count as paddies.

1 pointThe “great” James Watson will also be 95 next year, and so will Ethel Kennedy, Paul Dooley and James Ivory. Many new solid DL candidates from 1928 to consider.

1 pointSinger & songwriter Roger Cook is 81 today. He was a founder member of Blue Mink but is probably best known for his writing partnership with Roger Greenaway, which produced hits for artists such as Blue Mink, The Fortunes and The New Seekers, as well as the novelty hit "I Was Kaiser Bill's Batman" for Whistling Jack Smith, who's identity has forever been shrouded in mystery. Words were added by Fred Oldörp of the German group "Die Travellers" who retitled it Ich war der Putzer vom Kaiser

1 pointAre they following you on Twitter? Yes. So I'm always very careful what I say about them.

1 pointYour absolutely right Four Horsemen, but I wasn't arguing with anyone. Maybe for the next 24 hours if possible, a moderator can link all of Star's future posts in my 'Drunk Bored Thread' just so Patrick Moore doesn't become a grade A quality argument ring. You might have to up your game a wee bit to become 'A' grade Royce. Star Crossed, you're clearly an intelligent person. What are conversations like in your house? "Cup of tea dear?" "Yes please darling." "Biscuit?" "FUKC!!! Stop getting off FUKCING TOPIC. All I wanted is a cup of fukcing tea, do you have to..." Calm down brother, you'll end up having a stroke. It's alright, I appear to have a chapperone now. Every thread I come into, Notapotato has to follow me, to check I'm not posting anything offensive, or on-topic. No fear, NAP, I'm nowhere near the topic of this thread. Just whoring it out, just the way you like it. Prick.
