Sucking in energy and blood from everything around you is tiring after all.

No he wasn't - he's dead; proof enough

I had a dream last night that we were all at the convention but we were also all sharing the same hotel room with only one bathroom. Carnage.

Does it sodding matter? They are both deaded. The End.

They probably were at that point.....

Not quite buckets but I do own some very large wine glasses! I have just had a reunion in Glasgow with some friends and neighbours from my childhood days to celebrate a milestone birthday of mine and was given what I can only describe as a 'massive fuck-off glass' to drink my gin from (bottle of gin included too) , even I was daunted by it's size. Count me in for 24th March :-)

It depends which street. Kate Bush paved the way for artists like Tori Amos, Jessie and even possibly Alanis Morissette. NME described The Hounds of Love as the only sexy prog rock album. I suggest you listen to that one and reevaluate. Yes she never really broke America partly because of her fear of flying but in the UK she is a household name.

Hell yeah, been years since we had a drink together.

Poor guy, he has enough problems at the moment without having to deal with that too.

Nice one - I'll draw up the press release and email the likes of the Church Times and the Salvation Army's Watchtower

OK I know it means piss over there, but somehow us Yanks have turned St. Patrick's Day into a national drunken holiday. Strike March 17th. SC

I think some more research and judgement may be justified Ali.........

You may have noticed that I like lists so compiling them is all part of the research but when it comes down to picking the actual DDP teams it is very difficult to make the right choices. But I do find it fun seeing how everyone else has compiled the lists. I will often spend time looking through the entries on the DDP site to get some ideas or just for the humorous write ups.

I regularly search various key words on Google news/some of the sites where the obits count for "cancer", "diagnosed", "hospitalized", etc along with names mentioned on here, slap anyone reasonably ill or with a smidgen of an obit chance on a WordPad document along with another list of names that are just really old. I think Jaruzelski's the oldest person to be on the former list rather than the latter, never really bothered to migrate Rev. Billy for some reason. Strangely the pool I'm doing best in this year is the Hare's Dead Pool, (even though it'd be for the better if my guys would cark it later in the year) composed mostly of random Methuselahs and the occasional terminally ills. May have to consider thinking outside the box some more for DDP and other pools since a very-conservative attitude this year seems to be biting me in the butt, all the moreso now since I jokered Wilko.

*slowly backs away* Fuuuuuckin' 'ell. And we thought Spade was bad. Let me elaborate a little further. By being on my radar simply means I have entered them onto a spreadsheet so I don't forget that I have considered them. I will then consult this list of 1000 names to compile the 400 name list I use for the workplace game that I run. I am not actively following them on Twitter or hacking into their mobile phones. It is also worth noting that this approach has failed to catch Peaches Geldof or Kate O' Mara. Peaches was on my (about 1800 name) long list but so many guys are just too hard to judge. Many of the most nailed on choices are coffin dodgers and my Sun Wukong list (which is currently 9 out of 50) is doing much better than my most researched lists.

Mostly super old actors. What I really need to do is become friends with one of the workers at the following place: Imagine the insider information I could get on the current elderly stars residing there atm. I already have info for people like Kirk Douglas' speech therapist. I should ask her how he's doing.

It also does not mean I am good at this game I have 1/20 in each of my DDP teams. However I am joint leader in my works game.

I am always looking out for people who I should keep tabs on. I have about 1400 people who are on my radar. If I see someone on the news or in the paper who looks ill or is reported as being unwell I will make a note of them. I am now having to remove people from the list, for example hangers on who time has passed like Jack Tweed and Frankie Cocozza will make way for someone more worthwhile, but this site is still the best for research. If the DL don't tell me they are dead then they are probably still breathing. Sometimes I make mistakes and miss important deaths but there is always someone here who will correct you when you make a mistake. Keep up the good work guys.

'Old Stone Face', Buster Keaton died today in 1966...

Quite frankly, I don't like the way this thread about death anniversaries has turned into a debate about contentious figures in British constitutional history and I will not stand for it.......... ....today is the Anniversary of the death of Guy Fawkes

Personally I prefer the Levellers ;-)

Sounds like a good idea. I'd be up for something in the London area.
