Loads and loads of good names mentioned in this thread already. Some better than others of course! Any unique picks not mentioned so far then that I would suggest? Looking at my own list from this year I can suggest: Timothy Dudley-Smith (b. 1926) - hymn writer Desmond Morris (b. 1928) - zoologist Lyndon LaRouche (b. 1922) - American conspiracy theorist and political activist Jean-Marie Le Pen (b. 1928) - former French National Front leader Josef Fritzl (b. 1935) - Austrian incest dad Irmin Schmidt (b. 1937) - German keyboardist, most of his bandmates have passed Rex Garrod (DOB unknown) - engineer, creator of Brum and Cassius on Robot Wars Plus pretty much all the other living candidates on my list in my signature as well would be decent enough picks (read it!) I had an old list of names that I wrote up in 2016. Here are some less obvious names, still living, that I obtained from that list. Hosni Mubarak E O Wilson Eugene Wright (jazz bassist) Jean Raspail Richard Lynn Jurgen Habermas Alan Greenspan Ross Perot Walter Mondale Micheline Bernardini (French bikini woman - would be an absolutely ingenious pick) Ron Jeremy Gary Glitter Anders Breivik Ian Watkins Roberta McCain Burt Bacharach Richard Sherman (Disney songwriter) Peter Tobin Tony Bennett Bill Wyman Kurt Westergaard John Cantlie Arvo Part Richard Wilson Grand Duke Jean of Luxembourg Judy Blume There are probably more people that I could think of, people whose names I have encountered throughout the year and thought to myself they would be good candidates for this place, but I'm just too busy with my own life to be able to remember who they all are. I am a strictly casual Death Lister and only really come on here at Christmas and New Year, or when someone famous dies. Hope this post has helped anyway, if even in just some small way!

A businessman was preparing to go on a long business trip, so he thought he'd, buy his wife something to keep her occupied. He went to a sex shop and explained his situation. The man there said! "Well, I don't know that I have anything that will keep her occupied for so many weeks, except.....The Magic Penis!" The husband said! "The what'?" The man repeated! "The Magic Penis!" And pulled out what seemed to be an ordinary dildo. The husband laughed, and said! "It looks like a dildo!" The man then pointed to the door and said! "Magic Penis, door!" The penis rose out of its box, darted over to the door and started pounding away at the keyhole. The whole door shook wildly with vibrations, so much so, that a crack began to form down the middle. Then the man said! "Magic Penis, return to box!" And the penis stopped and returned to the box. The husband bought it and took it home to his wife. After the husband had been gone a few days, the wife remembered the Magic Penis. She undressed, opened the box and said! "Magic Penis, my vagina!" The penis shot to her crotch. It was absolutely incredible. After three mind shattering orgasms, she became very exhausted and decided she'd had enough. She tried to pull it out, but it was stuck. Her husband had neglected to tell her how to turn it off so she put her clothes on, got in her car and started for the closest hospital. On the way, another incredibly intense orgasm made her swerve all over the road. A police officer saw this and immediately pulled her over. He asked for her license, and then asked how much she'd had to drink. Gasping and twitching, the woman said! "I haven't had anything to drink officer! You see, I've got this Magic Penis thing stuck in my crotch and it won't stop screwing me!" The officer looked at her for a second, shook his head and replied! "Yeah right.....Magic Penis, my ass!" The rest, as they say, is history...

I waited two days on the off chance someone else has turned out to die earlier, but since that doesn’t appear to be the case, I will now officially congratulate Banana for winning the Advent Avalanche. First post to be edited as soon as I get home...

I also think the wow signal is the closest thing to evidence we have for alien life. It was probably an alien probe hence the reason they can't find it in the same area. Forget UFOs / greys its no coincidence that UFO sightings for the most part started during WW2 and afterwards continued. German experimental flying tech (disk like objects) and the team behind it leaving to go to the USA after the war to continue research. The battle of los angeles I think they first realised aliens could be used as a scapegoat. USA's war nerves got the better of them and they started firing into the sky at a weather balloon killing 5. UFO / alien hints put out afterwards to muddy the waters, divert blame and keep up morale. The usa probably soon realised the flying saucer tech is not ideal to be manned by humans and got to the point were building robotic pilots was the only viable option.Those UFO's flying around the sky in the middle of the 20th century were probably some of the first drones.

I've been asked to bring this back by one of the forum statesmen... Ok, so with 2018 nearly history, how do you rate your success (or lack of) in the various deadpools you took part in? Hartlepool Deadlypool - Haven't a clue. Think doing OK, number of hits. None as good as that ER woman though. B- Hare's Pool - 16/25 died, however most of them died in January which is as useful in the Hares as a chocolate teapot. Only took 3 days of 2018 for jokering Rayya Ellias to look rather foolish. B- Deathrace - Finished before I'd even noticed it'd started. Mostly because I won with some right dodgy picks. A+ Death by Numbers - Pretty much been third all year, unable to get by DI or Reptile. B+ Alt Obits - Secnd time in, likely top ten finish. Could have gone worse. Completely overestimated the fame threshold, given some of those getting QO for it! B Scavenger Hunt - It's still ongoing. Need to be in it to win it, eh? Biblio's Movie Game - See above. DL Cup - Made Round 2, still underperformed due to being host. Was allegedly tetchy... (No Rating) DDP 1. Pan Breed - Much better than last year but not picking Falkholt or worse Francis has been killer. Still within 1 hit of the lead on 7th Dec - yeah, that's my unique Mr Piddington on a Christmas Day bonus, but you know, factually accurate... B+ 2. Here's Who You Could Have Won - A rag tag bunch of obscure programmers, musicians and the like which has done well above expectations to finish with 60+ points. C+ 3. And Yet You Had Space for Sinead O'Connor - Just a daft bit of theme team fun. Got 3 success from 20 names (Ditko just in the name of time!). B- Right over to you lot. Grade yerselfs, or no...

Only when the taste of David Lidington's cock is still fresh in the mouth.....

Noam Chomsky 90 today!

DDP: Shite start that ultimately cost me - but Laura Barry and David Shutts saved me from embarrassment and rebounded me enough to the point where I had a few months at the top and still may make the podium. B+ DDP B Team: 8 hits, 5/6 of my uniques died. Likes of Lietzke and Nuriddin being cast away to here show I underestimate unique chances nowadays though. B DDP Space Theme: 4 hits (+ 1 List of the Lost-er) including the joker and the only unique. B- Hartlepool: A mystery... though probably mid table since I had two early-year deaths in the bottom 2 spots DBN: Best pool performance of the year for me in terms of team quality. Caught up to a seemingly insurmountable Reptile and am now in the lead. Even if he takes the lead back (which can be done with any one of his survivors dying) it's a result I can be proud of. A+ Deathrace: Only one hit, 15/20 dead now but a lot of them were later in the year. D Hare's: Peaked a bit too early. A lot of hits midyear, crickets since. C+ Cup: Massive drop from my 2017 performance. KOed in March during the rematch with Heef - but would have won against most others that round, so sod's luck of the draw. D Windy City: My luck with mid year 2018 pools seems to get a lot better compared to beginning/early-year pools. In the lead, good chance it holds. A Poker: Haven't struck any juicy bonuses to the extent I did in 2017, but still have the lead for now. A-

I think I speak for everyone here when I say The Living End retiring will be dark, dark day in DDP history. Glad to hear it's not imminent.

Hm. Deathrace: Had two hits in total during the game, but sod's law occured when the avalanche of hits happened right after the game ended. Only 12 out of the 20 died so far, thanks partly in picking a joker dud. C+ Hare's Pool: Not doing as well as last year, mid-table obscurity it is. D Hartlepool: I really am not doing well in this one at all. With 0 hits, I think I need to improve my craft here. F Death By Numbers: Meh, am in the top ten, but really had a lot of bad picks there. Still, there's always next year. B- Alt Obits: Ngl, am disappointed that Gerard Tierney jumped ahead of me with that birthday hit. Still, likely top five in my very first year of trying is pretty good. B+ DL Cup: Improved from my performance last year. Made it to round 3, and was able to beat Grim in my rematch against him (even if it was only due to a coin flip). Never really stood a chance against Sir Creep though. A- DDP Teams: Day In The Death: Made an improvement from last year, even if there were still a few things that I needed to learn, like to give up on unnatural gambles and don't let the forum pushing a bad name convince you to pick a bad pick. Despite that, I'm pretty happy with how I'm doing. A The Whipping Posts: My performance here is underwhelming. While I had no intention of this team beating my main one, I still expected more than 1 hit/7 points. D- Peace, Drugs, and Death: Once again, my theme team has a score of 0. I really suck at theme teams. F

DDP - A pretty disastrous year all round for me and struggling to get it together to be competitive next time around. Gutted my run of unique picks is over. I suppose I should retire gracefully, but I'll be back in 2019 because I want to preserve my overall points and hits records for a while longer. Deathlist Cup - I won. HPDP - I've got one hit, pretty happy with that tbh. Worried about the absence of Rotten Ali though...

I don't do that many pools, but when I do, it's largely a painful experience. Still, no pain(sley), no gain(sley). Deathrace 2018: Fucking shit. Of my 20 picks, 16 are still alive. Scored shit all whilst the competition was going on. Even now, my running total is 684. My dog could've done better with a series of barks as a fucking entry. F Windy City: Fucking shit. Last standings update, I was in 17th place, though I got 140 points with GHWB since then. I know. Only 140. I put a big name that low. So far, so bad. D Shadow List: Fucking shit. Loads of dry patches during the year, and names that, by rights, should be long gone by now. And two names I dropped from last year's list have died. But it's not all bad; I've equalled last year's total of 13, and beaten the DL by a grand total of 1. B Deaths Of The Silver Screen: Fucking shit. No one has died so far. But then, it's a long game, not many people's picks have bore fruit so far, and I've still a shred of confidence. Nothing much to report on. C Oldest Living State Leaders: Fucking shit. That being said, I've only participated in three rounds so far. My picks are still breathing. I have Le Duc Anh at the moment. As drol will testify, that fucker isn't gonna die. The choice of a moron. D Advent Avalanche: Fucking shit. I set aside a name, and missed the start, like a first class tool. Wouldn't have won it anyway; the competition only lasted about 30 seconds, owing to a blinding shout by Banana. U Five4Three2One: Fucking shit for a lot of the year in this, my personal favourite pool. Luckily, I got a blinding start, and a couple of dribs & drabs of luck. Mediocre position in the standings. B- Inverse Survivor Pool: Fucking shit...would be an unfair summary. I'm still hit-free. And, looking at my record of picking who's gonna die, I'm clearly good at picking people who'll live a while, so I'm confident to a degree. A-

Did alright in the Cup, mind. Did alright in the Cup, mind. Did alright in th...oh. Always someone letting the flow go...

I'm not stupid, I don't swim in the ponds with the Big Fish. I do awrite.

And the whining such as Uber drivers losing income etc etc, I wouldn't pay them a penny in compensation. Dual sim phone, second sim on payg with a fiver on it and no fucking problem. Fucking idiots.

ramon, please do not make posts that are just empty quotes. I've hidden several posts by you that were just that GUN quote with all the contents removed. There is an edit option at the bottom of your own posts in case you want to make changes to an already-made post.

Turns out the Colombian Vice President prematurely announced his death on Twitter. In which case, he's still alive and I'll take him as my pick please!

Never give up on your dreams!

Fuck it, let's try it now. So this is what the website will (probably) look like: http://s760215289.websitehome.co.uk/ The banner needs changing (graphic design isn't a particular skill of mine). And yes, the images in the slider are a little scrappy. But... thoughts? What works/doesn't work?

It's probably this: http://www.novi-svjetski-poredak.com/2018/12/03/globalist-i-bilderberger-predsjednik-koji-je-sluzio-novom-svjetskom-poretku-umro-u-94-godini/

Oh, I think I may know why Bush Sr died before the starting line. Let’s have a look at the Crowdsource list right now, shall we? 1. Jeb Bush With 100% of the vote. Extremely popular, I know...

O

I will just leave this here, because in the case of Bush, one of his final acts as President shows what a gentleman he is in defeat.

Dilip Kumar went on India TV telling people to mutilate their pets?
