Checkmate

Scenes if the last ten years have just been leading up to one big wedding reception speech prank.

Some terrific tweets in that article. "imagine being so much of a horrible bastard that a party made up entirely of the country's most horrible bastards turned out to be not quite horrible enough for this particular horrible bastard."

He's always been gaunt. He turned 70 last month. It's typical for people to lose weight as they age, especially in their 70s and 80s. My gran was pretty heavy most of her life and she lost a lot of weight in her 70s. She still lived to 90. Curtice was on BBC News a few days ago. Looked pretty normal, sounded fine. He could pay off as a unique pick but I seriously doubt it. I'm more surprised that Glen Campbell wasn't picked! News of his brain cancer was first made public in August 2023 (even if the severity of it wasn't made public until a few days ago).

Anthony Gobert dead at 48.

Expected to attend his daughter's wedding later this year!

I think Kulast just lost an argument to Kenny McCormick, which frankly is a bit like losing a beauty contest to Andrew Lloyd Webber.

LOL

"...like REAL men..."

Violence is cheaper though.

I noticed that Brian Glanville wrote Franz Beckenbauer’s obituary in the Guardian and was surprised to find he is still alive at 92, though not sure if he is still writing anywhere. He looked ancient when I was reading him in World Soccer about 20 years ago.

It's probably my age but I prefer The Dammed's cover version, the original doesn't seem to have as much passion behind it to me.

Burley not exactly Paxman either

I got one of these too.

The fact that he’s reacted to this with a “thanks” suggests he doesn’t even know you’re taking the piss.

Wooooooow dude, real mature... Very low to post screenshots of messages in the private chat. It's actually one of the unwritten rules. Go back to primary/elementary school and learn some manners and respect. You must be one of the most disrespectful little critters I've ever encountered on a forum. You just proved yourself too immature for the internet with that post. Good job hon

Good evening all you ghouls and gals, I am not here to give my yearly social engagement suggestion yet. Instead, I am wondering how exactly we will celebrate the 20th birthday of this thread in March. It is my belief that we should pull the absolutely most audacious rants and highlight them in a special thread to celebrate the occasion. We also should have a competition to determine which one of you cheeky lot is the best at wittily responding to the uncouth simpletons who grace this thread. The 20th anniversary thread will be similar to the "This is Your Life" show with that Michael Aspel fellow with a voting twist except about the irate visitors and our gloriously snarky regulars instead of one person. It would be an absolutely marvelous way to unify and lightheartedly look back on how the DeathList has stood strong, no matter what challenges this site has had to face in the past. Who is with me in wanting to make the 20th anniversary of the irate visitors thread a magical moment for the ages?

Go easy on Kulast, he *knows people*.

Catching up on this week's Emmy awards, Carol Burnett showed up to present an award. Looks and sounds amazing for someone on the verge of 91, still standing without aide and making jokes.

Crazy he was dropped when you consider he is only 5 months younger than Dick Van Dyke.

I hate all of you.
