Or pissing themselves with excitement over the thought of owning a thread that’s 7 pages long and feel the need to keep it alive by unnecessarily bumping it with useless information every 5 minutes.

And when the new thread is opened, would everyone please remember to give the gamerunner time to set up the first few posts for scoreboard, lists of teams/picks etc.

My gawd, don't think I know many of the actors in that: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118200/ Go wild, go esoteric, go something with a Wiki reference to make it easier.

Why the fuck are you on this forum then?

We know that it is going to get worse before it gets better, there are two questions I have to ask. 1. What is the maximum number of daily deaths that will be recorded? 2. How long will their second wave last. Given a starting point of 3,800 the daily rate needs to be below this for 10 consecutive days (my definition) my answers 11,500 and 23rd November 2021. Numbers by the end of May.

I'm not, that's why I felt it needed saying

I feel quite young now (mine's due next month)

https://vancouversun.com/news/local-news/west-coast-architecture-legend-geoffrey-massey-dies-at-age-96 Arguably this should also be in a thread that covers architects too but I decided to post here first. Whilst doing some casual googling of the cast of 1947 Joan Crawford film Possessed which I watched on DVD tonight I found out that in December Geoffrey Massey, son of Hollywood golden age actor Raymond Massey, died aged 96 in Vancouver Canada. He was also in his own right a prominent and influential architect in Canada who worked with Arthur Erickson. He was also the brother of the late actress and actor Anna Massey and Daniel Massey.

The actual death rate is so far removed from what is recorded I'm not sure if the recorded number has any meaning.

Brazilian actor Paulo Gustavo dead at 42: https://www.designerwomen.co.uk/celebrities-and-friends-react-to-the-death-of-paulo-gustavo-victim-of-covid-19/?amp=1 I thought he was young enough to survive it, but no, Covid has been merciless.

In other wtf news, Meghan Markle, who refuses to communicate with her own father and who has alienated her husband from his father, has put her name to a children's book about ... the bond between fathers and sons.

There's a thread for actresses, dumbass. There's a thread for artists, dumbass. There's a thread for sportspeople dumbass. (and for ice hockey as well i think, double dumbass) There's a thread for motorsports, dumbass. There's a thread for journalists, dumbass.

If we can get the categories out this week the pool will start 1st June

Just cross-posting this here (Death Of An Architect became a toxic issue so they go here):

The plethora of guesses this hasn't attracted make me think that a further clue might be warranted.

Philipose Mar Chrysostom (1918-2021) I told you I should not have been discharged! Age at death: 103 Known health issues: Frail and wheelchair bound for years. Last hospitalization with respiratory isssues. Cause of death: Everything. Alignment: Longest serving Indian bishop known for his sense of humour. His best joke was when he survived his direct successor.

Genuinely spent an hour watching a BBC4 doc on a frail old artist thinking "this is a good tip, Beeb" only to Wiki them and find out they died last year and I never noticed!

Alright, I'm collecting some Deathlist Cup records - work in progress: Best individual monthly performance (20+ points): 2021: Banana - GreatUncle Bulgaria 23-6 (March) 2019: JoeyRuss - Banana 15-22 (March) 2020: Death Impends - msc 22-12 (May) 2021: Spade Cooley - Grim Up North 21-9 (March) 2019: Reptile - Banana 6-21 (May) 2019: John Key - Death Impends 0-21 (April) 2019: Bibliogryphon - Spade Cooley 0-21 (April) Best monthly performance by a pair of opponents (25+ points): 2019: JoeyRuss - Banana 15-22 (March) 2020: Death Impends - msc 22-12 (May) 2019: Reptile - msc 19-12 (March) 2021: Spade Cooley - Grim Up North 21-9 (March) 2019: Spade Cooley - Death Impends 17-13 (May) 2021: Banana - GreatUncleBulgaria 23-6 (March) 2020: Skinny Kiltrunner - SirCreep 14-14 (February) 2019: Clorox Bleachman - Cpt.

However, we still accepted FFBIs back then of which DI picked two. I also suffered from 2 non-obits IIRC. 2017 scored somewhat differently, but they also allowed FFBIs. Still, there are actually not that many record-breaking games in 2017 and 2018.

Might not be the best way to save money...

Actor Ken Curtis died on this day 30 years ago, aged 74.

Hateful old fossil is running out of things to be angry with the “woke mob” about. And FTR I also put double cream into bolognese. This obviously means I’m a lefty snowflake socialist scum remoaner loony woke antifa... P.S. Just got off a zoom call to my woke mob comrades. We decided that Worcester(shire) sauce is racist.

The Quim Reaper's been typing a lame reply for about 10 minutes now. I mean you no harm, TQR, so don't go cutting yourself or anything. If you say shite to me I'll tell you where to shove it. Can't wait for his next pearl of "wisdom" about a user that left like 5 years before he even showed up here. "Zorders this, zorders that..." Are you gonna claim to have known Jack the Ripper next, "Quimmy"?

You see that big can of worms up there on the shelf? Why don't you go over and open it! In any case, you will have to be more specific - which particular incidence of Deathray's banning are you referring to?
