David Attenborough (98, Broadcaster and Natural Historian, -) 20. Roberta Flack (87, Singer, NEW) 21. Cleo Laine (97, Jazz Singer, 24) 22. Sandy Gall (97, TV news reporter, 16) 23. Ethel Kennedy (96, Kennedy Family, 18) 24. Noam Chomsky (96, Intellectual, -) 25. Bob Newhart (95, Comedian, 37) 26. Douglas Hurd (94, Politician, -) 27. Tom Lehrer (96, Musical comedian, NEW) 28. Vanessa Redgrave (87, Actress, -) 29. Desmond Morris (96, Zoologist, 19) 30. Yoko Ono (91, Mrs Lennon, 27) 31. Linda Nolan (65, Nolan Sister, 47) 32. Dennis Skinner (92, Politician, 41) 33. Dick Cheney (83, Politician, 8) 34. Bruce Willis (69, Actor, NEW) 35. Norman Tebbit (93, Politician, 14) 36. Denis Law (84, Footballer, -) 37.

Sandra Day O'Connor is the biggest hit in the Time magazine category. With 12 out of 27 Teams scoring. @MortalCaso gets their first hit of the game and @gcreptile and @Spade_Cooley share the lead on 7 hits. However the most important result is that gcreptile and @msc both move into winning position by both needing a Brit winner to fill their card

Spanish actress Concha Velasco (Wiki) dead at 84

Tbf PB, he offers a bit of comedy relief which makes a nice change from the usual infighting on here. If I were you I’d just let him burn himself out.

Get back to me when Meghan attempts a hostile takeover of Jeopardy. Then I will understand the hatred.

It’s been a good week for my top 50…Carter, Kissinger and O’Connor all hits. Sadly too far down the list for DDP success but Jimmy is still offering…

The joke has already gone so stale. I don’t see how people find it to be anymore amusing than any poster posting a no namer nonstop

Meh, it's Christmas. I'm trying to be accommodating. Besides, the bastard Wombles are at the top so he's hardly the only one with a fucking problem

Why's the alive guy the committee have so far correctly believed will continue being an alive guy not on the list? He's famous!!

George H. W. Bush died on this day 5 years ago, aged 94. - Named after his maternal grandfather George Herbert Walker, Bush also got his "Poppy" nickname from him- Walker was called "Pop". - Bush served as a naval aviator during World War II, and was once shot down by Japanese forces in 1944- he ejected and was rescued by a nearby American submarine, but some other aviators would be captured, executed, and had their livers cannibalized by the Japanese. Consider the infamous moment he threw up on Japanese PM Kiichi Miyazawa in 1992 as him avenging his comrades. - George married Barbara in 1945, and the two were married for 73 years. They had the longest marriage of a US presidential couple until being surpassed by the Carters in 2019. - Bush was known for his lifelong hatred of broccoli, banning it from being served on Air Force One, and once referred to Barbara as "a total totalitarian" when she tried to add broccoli to his diet. He personally preferred food such as pork rinds, ice cream, and nachos. - Bush was also known for his dislike of the Simpson family, comparing them unfavorably to the Waltons. This led to the 1996 episode "Two Bad Neighbors": - Among Bush's post-presidency activities included skydiving on his 85th and 90th birthdays in 2009 and 2014, and being the coin flip participant at Super Bowl LI. - Bush's last public appearance was him voting in the 2018 midterm elections, and could be seen with his service dog Sully: - Bush was diagnosed with vascular Parkinsonism in 2012, but it was not until 2017 that his health declined significantly. He was hospitalized with sepsis the day after Barbara's funeral, and would return to the hospital the next month due to low blood pressure. His last days were well-documented, with his Secretary of State and lifelong friend James Baker stating his last meal was of three boiled eggs, some yogurt, and juice. - Bush appeared on every DeathList from his debut in 2013 until his death. He was the 12th (and last) death of 2018.

Don’t we all love a nose. I notice it says no chain so whereever he is moving to it’s not somewhere currently occupied by someone who is moving on.

Cheese is the number 1 killer of old rockers. When they say ‘heart attack’ or ‘complications from a fall’, what they really mean is ‘died from mainlining Stilton’ or ‘choked on a cheddar and pickle sandwich’. Reformed health freaks like Jon Bon Jovi and Steven Tyler both have strict ‘no cheese’ instructions on their riders.
