yea we definitely don't ever talk about these kinds of deaths

Dear John I'm sorry to hear about your little problem, but I think I have a handy solution. Simply log off and stalk your victim's profile as a guest! Yours with love, Marge Proops of Viz Top Tips

I think you don’t realize that it is actually a secret tool for matchmaking.

5 years out of 43 does not = “usually” In fact, it means usually not.

A footnote in the annals of the Scavenger Hunt: the death of Valery Giscard D'Estaing provided belated hits for 6 people on Scavenger Hunt 2 and mean that @Grim Up North becomes the 4th person to complete in Round 2, adding to Curtis Cokes (Boxers), 3 Dallas stars, 2 Grammy winners and Burt Reynolds (Kevin Bacon co-stars) to complete all 5 categories. Two more players need a Boxer now - I'm genuinely shocked by how long those Boxers are lasting!

Congratulations to the Committee for creating a record-breaking DeathList! Well done! We all watch out for 2021!!!

I haven’t picked him since towards the beginning of the year but I am going with Prince Phillip, I feel like the deaths just keep coming and I think we are going to have a huge one to finish this crazy year.

I don’t think he died of/from covid. probably just saying that to aid to the statistics of the flu on steroids. hahah.

The logic is damn sound so far as I can see. Statistically, we have only 29/365 days left so that's just 8% of the time now remaining. Further where there were 50 possibilities on Jan 1 there are now only 32 or 64% of the original field. The window is closing fast on fewer runners. However, sudden heart attacks pay no mind to statistics of course. NB, just waiting for some plank to turn up and tell me I can't do statistical analysis properly. Probably true, but I doubt they're any better

Bit aggressive but nice enthusiasm.

Cancer names Leon Spinks and Tom Smith are still alive too. Really amazing that one or both of them could see out the year...

He was in Licence to Kill, but wasn't picked for SHBD3.

Update for Valery Giscard D'Estaing. Hits for Deathray (10th Hit); The Quim Reaper (11th Hit); Buffalo Phil (7th Hit); chilean way (8th Hit); nantonian2013 (7th Hit). End of year looms!

I think the enema approves....

Steve, Deadpool, roaming_comrade, and GuyFromFuture all successfully gauged Giscard d'Estaing would break the record. Well done. Thread closed.

So, congrats again to the talented mr. Quim for his 1456th hit. VGE was a decent guy and politician, COVID could have chosen better from the list. Queen Elizabeth II advances to the top and there are now 5 survivors from 1926. Will she remain as the last one standing? Surely mr. Wade and mr. Jiang are tougher opponents than VGE... or maybe not. List to be updated and round to be started.

Pierre Cardin.

18 is remarkable. But even better is now not having to see 2017 and 2020 share the title at the top of the DL, for the next decade or so...

I reckon we could get just one more in, though going through the list there's not many possibilities shouting out at me. It would have to be one of the people in their mid to late 90s that we haven't heard from in a while e.g. Jacques Delors or Leslie Phillips. That's IF COVID or a sudden heart attack don't blow my logic out of the water. I know we've had 2 COVID hits but a 3rd is statistically unlikely. Sutcliffe REFUSED any treatment and VGD was in a frail state from several hospitalisations earlier in the year. So either one more, or we're done for the year. I'll be an optimist and say the former – we'll get a 19th, then we're done!

No catching up now, but both had Giscard D'Estaing. YW - 15 (equals my best); DL- 18

Biden goes to great lengths to tell everybody how Irish he is. Well, according to genealogists he is, something like, 12% Irish. That must then mean that the other 88% of him is a complete fucking dick.

Oh do fuck off, why do we have to go through this pointless fucking exercise EVERY SINGLE TIME someone dies that wasn’t ON THE LIST! The reason he wasn’t in the list is because they didn’t fucking pick him.
