Ah.

Antero Laukkanen dies at 66.

99 today!

Dunno which is the bigger news, the fact he had another dodgy friend or the fact he had a friend at all! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cd75vwdg3yvo

Kemi Bedenoch will be calling for a full public enquiry at PMQs next week as it is clearly Kier Starmer's fault

Thank FUCK for that! After what probably wasn't the longest final ever but most certainly felt like it, Bastille is finally given something to be an optimist about, as Pompeii goes shooting into the prestigious Kill or Save Hall of Fame! Eh eho eho eh eho eho eh eho eho or summat. That face says it all. Anyway, here's how it all stacked up: 1) Bastille - Pompeii 2) Adele - Rolling In The Deep 3) Rag'n'Bone Man - Human 4) Maroon 5 ft. Christina Aguilera - Moves Like Jagger 5) Katy Perry - Teenage Dream 6) George Ezra - Paradise 7) Emeli Sande - Heaven 8) Pink ft. Nate Ruess - Just Give Me A Reason 9) Bruno Mars - Locked Out Of Heaven 10) Taylor Swift - I Knew You Were Trouble 11) The Weeknd ft. Daft Punk - Starboy 12) James Bay - Hold Back The River 13) Justin Timberlake - Can't Stop The Feeling 14) Adele - Skyfall 15) Years And Years - Shine 16) Taylor Swift - Shake It Off 17) Mark Ronson ft. Miley Cyrus - Nothing Breaks Like A Heart 18) Aloe Blacc - I Need A Dollar 19) Emeli Sande - Next To Me 20) Chainsmokers & Coldplay - Something Just Like This 21) Maroon 5 - Maps 22) Nicki Minaj - Starships 23) Dua Lipa - Don't Stop Now 24) Sia - Cheap Thrills 25) Hozier - Take Me To Church And here are the 25 shitters that our voting deemed the worst of the game. If I'm honest, bar about 3 of the finalists, it's actually a slightly better list. Jedward ft. Vanilla Ice — Under Pressure Ellie Goulding — Your Song Sidney Samson ft. Wizard Sleeve — Riverside Jason Derulo — Ridin’ Solo Eminem ft. Rihanna — Love The Way You Lie Wizard Of Oz Film Cast — Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead Rizzle Kicks — Mama Do The Hump Eminem — Berserk Flo Rida — Whistle Passenger — Let Her Go Will.I.Am ft. Justin Bieber — #thatpower Chris Brown — Don’t Wake Me Up Meghan Trainor — Lips Are Movin’ 5 Seconds Of Summer — Don’t Stop John Legend — All Of Me Ed Sheeran — Bloodstream R. City ft. Adam Levine — Locked Away Rihanna ft. Drake — Work Calum Scott — Dancing On My Own Ed Sheeran — Galway Girl Ed Sheeran — Castle On The Hill Rak-Su ft. Wyclef & Naughty Boy — Dimelo Drake ft. Michael Jackson — Don’t Matter To Me Travis Scott — Highest In The Room Kygo & Whitney Houston — Higher Love Thanks for joining in with this edition of Kill or Save, it’s been an unmitigated disaster. Until 2030 though, that’s all the No.2s ticked off! So…now we’re all caught up with the charts, after Christmas we’ll have a vacancy for a second game to run alongside the classic format UK charts countdown with our illustrious host wannamaker. Personally, I think it’d be awesome if we started doing player-picked theme games; the possibilities are endless here. I would also like to offer up the position of hosting these games as, much as I love doing this, it’s only fair that anyone else who fancies a turn gets a chance. Besides, I’ve got Christmas and, once all the 50s-10s No.3s are finished, I’ll be doing the big KoS CoC. If anyone fancies stepping up, make yourself known, then as soon as the white smoke billows we can sort out what theme to do first!

You do one Coldplay video in your back garden, next thing you know you are being burned out of your home. A lesson there. The shock could kill him...lol.

What exactly is the Deathlist committee suppose to acknowledge, and what do you mean gone wrong? Some people take this way to seriously. All the list is, are complete guesses on who may die within a year. I believe the 2024 list was a pretty good list when you saw it in the beginning of the year. I mean who in their right mind would see Carter at his wife's funeral in 2023 and even think he had a shot that he would make it through 2024. There are plenty of others as well that were good potentials of going. It just did not happen is all.

Blast from the past, Bangladeshi superstar Helal Hafiz dead at 76.

That's like saying I'd rather eat a turd than a bowl of diarrhoea. Cilla was as annoying as hell in anything, there was a woman who should have stuck to singing - and blind dates only positives are that it's A: gone and B: Love island and towie are even worse. Am I a snob? Probably, but this stuff is lowest common denominator garbage of the worst (and cheapest to make) kind.

No problem it happens

Both picks changed, I had used my previous list and didn't notice that they had taken the picks for this round while I was still working, I'll be more attentive to the next one.

Watched that trailer and was immediately drawn to "Dom Famularo, drumming's global ambassador" as a man who clearly had advanced cancer... checked and yes, he died of pancreatic aged 70 in September last year. Must have taken them a while to edit the footage.

The Big Jiew is critical in ICU with sepsis, UTI and pneumonia. He has been hospitalised since a biopsy last month. Edit: From earlier family comments, although not directly stated, sounds like he suffers from a form of cancer that causes "wounds and infections" and they've prepared for his condition to go critical. Edit 2: He's apparently conscious and able to communicate. Still critical and very ill. Hours or days?

Alain Pompidou, adoptive son of former French President (1969-1974) Georges Pompidou and First Lady Claude Pompidou, has died aged 82. He was their only child.

Very niche, but: Daniel Sternheimer, one of the two doctoral advisors of the Bogdanoff brothers is still alive and must be very old. Also, John Rees. Final lover of Grace Metalious among other things. Metalious has been dead for 60 years.
