Ali Orumian (Wiki) dead at 91

Not everyone who makes a YouTube video reaches 100 though…

You see, that’s the thing about this game. A truly brilliant poster I really respect has just done a vote that is so opposite to my tastes it took a fair while to convince myself it wasn’t a personal attack.

FFS this is a war of attrition now Will there be more scoring Deathrace deaths before I run out of dodgy bad taste mock ups of well known toys used in inappropriate ways?

They seem to truly believe that yet another new leader and being even more rabid about small boats/Rwanda will solve all their woes. Do they not do polling anymore, or is it just a skim of the Daily Mail and Telegraph comments?

They're staring oblivion in the face so it seems any desperate measure is to be considered. Like I said on this thread not that long back, if they go through with this every PMQs for the newbie includes every other party leader opening up their alloted time by pointing out that's three in a row unelected by the people and not so much asking for as demanding an election. The lack of anything innovative in Tory policy tells you all you need to know about their private polling turning up nothing by way of a useful idea of what they could do to convince the public to elect them next time. Tory toast by way of a few blistering by-election defeats, more internal meltdowns and a damning verdict when they finally face the electorate, Sunak's present predicament is little more than a distraction.

Winfield Dunn failed to attend the Winfield Dunn dinner in December. He looked very frail last year in January and also has a very long history of heart problems, another one who's had a pig heart valve surgery. It seems quite a miracle he's made it to 96. Ariyoshi also seems to be in declining health, he's been quite frail for the last five years and I can't find anything on him since late 2022. The last living US governor to have served in WWII will probably be either Dan Evans (he looked frail in those images from 2020 you'll see if you google his name, but looks amazing for his age here, from October) or George Nigh who walks with a cane now but otherwise looks fine.

This is one of his books

Phil LaMarr is 57. Among his voices include Hermes Conrad in Futurama, Wilt in Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Samurai Jack's titular character, Ollie Williams in Family Guy, Bolbi Stroganovski in Jimmy Neutron, and Dracula in The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy:

Well, Sir Creep, your enthusiasm for pointing out the obvious is truly unmatched. Should we organize a parade to celebrate your groundbreaking insight? Or is that too much excitement for a place already en route to your described handbasket destination?

Useless hereabouts as well, since it was the guy before him who counted for selection. He has a 100% record managing Leicester (two games as caretaker)

Colin McDonald, chosen by two teams, is the former England international footballer, not the Australian cricketer who died a few years ago.

Charlton manager Michael Appleton sacked straight after losing 3-2 at home to Northampton

An attempt to bring back Truss or bring in Badernoch or Braverman before the election?

So, anyway, we'll keep up the entertainment until somebody actually dies and gifts us some Deathrace points:

Fuck sake. When I saw @Thatcher posting I thought he'd died
