So let's drag this back to the top for a second Everyone's up for a MMMDP in 2019, more or less the same rules etc. Right?

Thinking of the NOW albums which have got to the point where there are more than 100. I got to thinking about the original NOW album (released in 1983) and created a list of 20 potential Deathlist picks. This is not comprehensive as I have omitted members of groups outside of recognisable lead singers. The only dead solo artist from NOW ONE is Malcolm McLaran. 1. Phil Collins (b.1951) 2. Simon Le Bon (b.1958) 3. Limahl (b.1958) 4. Glenn Gregory (b.1958) 5. Harry Wayne Casey (b.1951) 6. Bonnie Tyler (b.1951) 7. Boy George (b.1961) 8. Mike Oldfield (b.1953) 9. Rod Stewart (b.1945) 10. Paul Young (b.1956) 11. Tina Turner (b.1939) 12. Phil Oakey (b.1955) 13. Howard Jones (b.1955) 14. Peabo Bryson (b.1951) 15. Roberta Flack (b.1937) 16. Tracey Ullman (b.1959) 17. Lynn Goldsmith (Will Powers) (b.1948) 18. Robert Smith (b.1959) 19. Jim Kerr (b.1959) 20. Suggs (b.1961) If we don't get some action soon I might have to look at some of the other NOW albums

There's an interview with Nauru ex-president Sprent Dabwido tonight: https://10daily.com.au/news/a190417bni/torture-former-nauru-president-regrets-allowing-refugee-detention-on-his-island-20190417 His claim of having weeks to live has turned into "days to live". And it's supposed to be his final interview. I wonder if he's going to look the part (teaser video restricted by location).

Cheers!

Next DL-birthday, not DL-death: John McCririck turns79 today.

I'm still waiting for a special someone to get a first hit.....

Course there's room. This lasts not much time, and anyone moaning too many DPs can just, you know, not join in. It's what I do when I run out of DP steam.

There is always space for this type of intensive frenzy and at the moment it feels like we need more pools to keep us all occupied during this drought

This year we have 17 World War 2 Veterans (also includes people who served in the Home Front) on the Deathlist: 1. Herman Wouk (born 1915) 2. Kirk Douglas (born 1916) 3. Vera Lynn (born 1917) 4. Prince Philip Duke of Edinburgh (born 1921) 5. Betty White (born 1922) 6. Henry Kissinger (born 1923) 7. Bob Dole (born 1923) 8. Murray Walker (born 1923) 9. Bob Barker (born 1923) 10. Tony Britton (born 1924) 11. Jimmy Carter (born 1924) 12. Dick Van Dyke (born 1925) 13. Valery Giscard d'Estaing (born 1926) 14. June Brown (born 1927) 15. Sidney Poitier (born 1927) 16. Harry Belafonte (born 1927) 17. Jerry Lewis (born 1927)

Well...aye, I'm up for running it. Same deal as last time - 20 places for everyone else, I'll snag the final place and commit not to nick anyone else's pick by only declaring mine once the others are nabbed. I'll try and get the new thread up around 1 May so's we can amuse each other with pithy form guide comments Unless loads of people post below and say there are too many dead pools, or summat

And if I should falter Would you open your arms out to me...

Bit cheesy, that post

Health evolution favourable, but will remain in hospital for observation: http://royalcentral.co.uk/europe/luxembourg/grand-duke-jean-is-doing-better-119933

tartan typewriter. I'll search for my coat.

Sorry, but you typing "She's Irish AF" on an actual official immigration form was too good not to be documented on this thread SC

Cross-posting Schindler's death report.

According to this Ambrose Schindler, Winkie Guard and Tin Man Stunt Double In The Wizard Of Oz, died in December 2018 at 101: https://old.reddit.com/r/CFB/comments/bdtkua/ambrose_amby_schindler_rose_bowl_mvp_and_one_of/

One of the few things I had on this forum.... Only fair that, having beaten msc's record in the Hare's Pool, he is the one to announce the loss by me of this one! Well done Bou!

Yes, Boudicca has beaten The Young Willz Cleansheet Record, which now stands at 75 days. Pretty good for a Cup newcomer. You can all wish her congrates now before the inevitable Mad Hatter winner as we all jinx her. I was waiting for another update, but things seem a bit slow right now.

Inventor of the mindmap, Tony Buzan, dead at 76.

.....deleted under duress.

It will be a farewell soon as she’s now in hospice care.

It only took three years to get him to consider changing it We'll let gymnastic typing dogs lie, perhaps.
