I would expect the record to be around 20 or so... By the way, this thread is more about your list for the Derby Dead Pool - the main deadpooling competition here. Each team is 20 people, the record here is 17, but the fame requirements are much lower.

Not sure if it was on here I saw it, but there was an interview with Sean McVay a head coach in gridiron a month or two back. He can remember every play he ever gave, and its outcome. Might have the same sort of condition.

3 women with an extremely rare brain condition which means they can remember every day of their lives. One of them is actress Marilu Henner. Sure, they might help advance dementia research, but they would be the best deadpoolers in the world!

Confirmed.

There is nothing like Daily Fail quality, but that does make sense. Clue: Remembrance Day and Remembrance Sunday are two different things. But don't worry, if you're in the mood to pick holes in the Daily Mail (aren't we all), there's a fuckton of material to legitimately do so.

He will host a radio show to calm down dogs during NYE fireworks..... awwww.... https://metro.co.uk/2018/11/02/bill-turnbull-will-host-radio-show-to-keep-dogs-calm-during-fireworks-and-it-sounds-adorable-8099570/

Probably only a handful of people in the world were aware of Kay Nakayama's musical artistic merit before Playstation's Gran Turismo series put his stuff on their soundtrack. Shame; this stirring piece is absolutely exquisite.

In amongst the humbling of the East Coast huns, there was this....

Well there are some right daft fuckers in America. https://birdsarentreal.com/pages/the-history

Former President of Honduras Roberto Suazo Cordova (b. 1927) looks very frail. In January he lost his son Bayron, who died of a sudden heart attack, and in September his other son Carlos followed, again for a heart attack.

You keep posting links about people but don't write in their name so it doesn't show up in the search function.

I'm just going to misspell Shivakumara Swami's name 20 times and hope they all end up being real people who will die and obit.

Andrex. Soft, Strong and Unbeatably Long. And you might as well wipe your arse with it.

It's losing so many names on a weekly basis to the Reaper, that I'm about two or three deaths away from making my joker the squirrel out in the back garden right now.

Blanco was just at a ceremonial thing-a-ma-jig at Univ of Louisiana-Lafayette not a month ago. She's upright and at least that much active. Literally zero percent chance of her dying before New Years. Will she see 2020? I'd say nearing a zero percent chance of that too lol! She better not only be D40 -- Kathleen Blanco should be on the actual DeathList. Big name, big health problems. SC

Didn't know it was considered a rumour by anyone, besides yourself that is. No one stated it as a rumour, or said the word rumour. How do you say 'post whore' in your native tongue?

Paddy Pantsdown will presumably have to get his pants down to be treated for this.

It would be really spooky if he was unresponsive and could verbalize.

TLC first draft "needs work"

Something Bob Barker will never see....

He did a 45 minute interview with Chris Matthews the other day looking back at his career. Many people don't know before becoming a shouting tv anchor Matthews worked in the White House during the Carter years as a speechwriter. Carter looks good and still as sharp. I still find him an enigma though - he was a conservative democrat for his era yet is now heralded by the left. It's taken almost 40 years for his presidency to get praise as opposed to him just being a great ex president. But also I know two people who have worked close with him - one passed away last year and had known Carter since he was running for Governor in 1966 (he was a local news reporter), and the other is an archivist in Georgia state politics who has had the chance to sit down with Carter as well as other significant Georgian figures like Zell Miller, Carl Sanders, Bill Schupp etc. The reporter says Carter was a great campaigner and was a man of the people type candidate but behind the curtain he was actually introverted and his campaign platform wishy-washy. It's not a surprise that the one job Carter has mastered all his life is teaching at Church. So in Georgia it was not a shock to political insiders that his presidency was full of crisis and his image was very weak. Back then in Georgia the governorship was one non consecutive term - there was no re-election but if there had been it has been argued he would have lost since a large group of people who voted for him because he was seen as one of their own (white rural farmers and the deep south) felt betrayed at his social and integration policies. But in the presidential election they all came out to vote for him because the south hadn't had a president for almost 150 years. He thought if he did things a certain way as president other people would follow him but in fact his micro-management rubbed people the wrong way since it made him seem like he didn't trust them. Also it was his wife who was really the political force and the ambitious one - she was against him giving the famous "Crisis of Confidence" speech because it was pretty much admitting he was overwhelmed by the job but he did it anyway. She was suggesting to take military action against Iran although most of the country were too eventually. During the 1980 campaign she was more optimistic than her husband and the defeat hurt her more than him. The other guy says Carter is a lot more outgoing as an older ex politician than he ever was as a politician. He didn't have many friends in politics because he didn't try to make them. Maybe because he's mellowed with age but I have a feeling he's privately happy not to have had a second term since he's been able to fulfill his goals and what he likes without the responsibility/burden of politics.

Died in April but this appears to be first mention. Jean Pierre de Monchaux, an idealistic and optimistic planner and architect who served as dean of the MIT School of Architecture and Planning from 1981 to 1992, passed away on April 30, after living with Parkinson’s disease for 20 years. He was 81. Coolest thing I saw was his email address at MIT: demon@mit.edu SC

nothing like daily mail quality "This year's poppy appeal will continue up until Remembrance Sunday which this year takes place on November 11."

I didn't know about the existence of this topic at the time, so I'll post it now: About 2 months ago, my great-uncle (grandmother's brother) passed away. This hit me and my family hard as he fell into a coma about 10 days prior and didn't wake up from it. And to top it all off, he was the family member on my grandmother's side that I knew best as he only lived about 25 minutes away from me, so my family and I would visit him often.
