Deathray

I wonder if the owner of the UK Deathlist or the original coder could sue them copyrighting their material? Slightly bizarre to seemingly take or list and bad it out with 50 cardinals.

It depends when it is. If it is this year then I may allow it (a bit like when you won 2013 with the boxing chap - the DDP equivalent of allowing a goal which replays showed was a touch offside!). Next year I'm considering the rule that "obits" are least written down - even if it is on a sidebar - as what qualified Jean Dore). There you go, clear as mud. You still looking at throwing out a consultation of sorts. How about - anybody who has been diagnosed with a terminal or life threatening illness prior to Jan 1st is required to be entitled to their obit on another claim to fame -charity work stemming from their illness not accepted - Hits must receive a written obit exceeding 3 paragraphs in a major UK outlet that uses at least two mediums (tv and internet, internet and newapaper etc) - The entrant must produce english language results in the main when entered into the uk google - Familial connections should not in themselves be enough - qualifying obits must contain a reason why said person is of note in own right

Not a great showing from my lot so far.

Looking a better bet now the Supreme Court have sanctioned gay marriage. I predict choking on a stray hair from his shirt by this time tomorrow.copy cats Ireland legislated gay marriage first btw I don't see Cameron legislating gay marriage anytime soon He did it several years ago in the last government.

Look beyond the appearance. He's the frontman of a metal band and stood still at his mike all through the set.

Shut your eyes and go got me Cliff Michelmore.

So, is there anyone joined in the last few days fancies a crack at that, then? Morbidkid?

Anyone who thinks a chainsmoking alcoholic won't die is stupid. Everybody dies some day.

It's really not.

I try very hard with my spelling and grammar, and I have progressed to using two hands. It's all very well for you young 'uns, but PCs and all this technology still makes me gawk. When I was a young man there was no such thing as a photocopier. At school the punishment was to wind the Xerox copying machine that had a piece if carbon paper wrapped round a drum. It had to filled with foul smelling chemicals that today would probably be banned. In fact I was expelled and my education brought to a halt long before Clive Sinclair got into his stride and young master William Gates had yet to make any headway. My mother bought one of those marvellous adding machines for £3/7/6d that was the talk of the whole village (at a time when I earned 30/- per week holiday job) Further ranting and boring dialogue here................... And here.................... And some more here............... Ending up with....... ...and lick t'road clean wit' tongue. (Monty Python) With the age he seems to exhibit in this post in mind, has anyone heard from Josco in the last few years, and if they have does he have any minor claims to fame?

That person has just got the go ahead from his constituents to run for mayor whilst remaining an MP, the heathrow thing should provide him with a good excuse for resigning his mp seat when he realises he can't do both jobs for four years . A tiny fraction of his constituents nonetheless.

Using my new shut your eyes and hold the mouse down for a few seconds to see where it lands approach I got Maureen O'Hara

Old people still buy music - hence the prominence of dated codgers.

Respect Deathray, I appreciate the effort. One thing I (usually) like about the Deathrace is that it's over and done in a few months, your willingness to put in 12 months solid graft is recognised by a fellow traveller. Thanks for the kind words. It's not too much work really. Especially this way - just boils down to the odd afternoon here and there. Anyway on to that all important - and very very busy - update: (As always if any carkers are missing - produce an obit and they'll be added sometime in the next month) Deaths so far this Year (29/233) Little Jimmy Dickens (2nd January 2015) [1 point] Ethel Lang (15 January 2015) [14 points] Jeffrey Segal (5 February 2015) [35 points] Jerry Tarkanian (11th February 2015) [41 points] Pamella Cundell (14th February 2015) [44 points] Louis Jordan (14 February 2015) [44 points] Heinrich Windelin (16 February 2015) [46 points] Ahmad Givens (21 February 2015) [51 points] Irving Khan (24th February 2015) [53 points] Leonard Nimoy (27th February 2015) [57 points] Sam Simon (8th March 2015) [66 points] Stuart Wagstaff (10th March 2015) [68 points] Terry Pratchett (12 March 2015) [70 points] Lee Kuan Yew (23rd March 2015) [81 points] Misoa Okawa (1 April 2015) [90 points] Manoel de Oliveria (2nd April 2015) [91 points] Robert H Schuller (2nd April 2015) [91 points] Richie Benaud (10th April 2015) [99 points] Viv Nicholson (11th April 2015) [100 points] Percy Sledge (14 April 2015) [104 points] Colin Bloomfield (25 April 2015) [114 points] Francis George (17th April 2015) [116 points] Ellen Albertini Dow (4 May 2015) [123 points] Dave Benton (25th May 2015) [144 points] Ron Moody (11th June 2015) [161 points] Kirk Kerkorian (15th June 2015) [165 points] Jean Dore (15 June 2015) [165 points] Jeralean Talley (17th June 2015) [167 points] Chris Woodhead (23 June 2015) [173 points] Scoreboard deadsox 604 points (Ethel Lang, Ahmad Givens, Sam Simon, Misoa Okawa, Percy Sledge, Colin Bloomfield, Jean Dore) CaptainChorizo 580 points (Ahmad Givens, Sam Simon, Manoel de Oliveria, Robert H Schuller, Francis Geoge, Kirk Kerkorian) Rotten Ali 442 points (Sam Simon, Lee Kuan Yew, Misao Okawa, Robert H Schuller, Colin Bloomfield) the_engineer 437 points (Ethel Lang, Sam Simon, Misao Okawa, Ellen Albertini Dow, Dave Benton) Eesti 399 points (Sam Simon, Colin Bloomfield, Chris Woodhead) Death Impends 333 points (Little Jimmy Dickens, Jerry Tarkanian, Irving Khan, Sam Simon, Lee Kuan Yew, Robert H Schuller) maryportfuncity (Ethel Lang, Sam Simon, Misao Okawa, Chris Woodhead) msc 329 points (Stuart Wagstaff, Richie Benaud, Ron Moody) Whoam 268 points (Leonard Nimoy, Sam Simon, Richie Benaud) Estuarian Float 265 points (Ahmad Givens, Leonard Nimoy, Sam Simon, Robert H Schuller) Toast 247 points (Ethel Lang, Sam Simon, Jeralean Talley Shaun of the Dead 210 points (Pamella Cundell, Viv Nicholson, Sam Simon) The Unknown Man 189 points (Leonard Nimoy, Sam Simon[WC]) gcreptile 137 points (Heinrich Windelin, Manoel de Oliveria) Bibliogryphon 79 points (Jeffrey Segal, Louis Jourdan) Book 70 points (Terry Pratchett)

GOOD NEWS. An update will be completed by the end of this month day.

Surely political frailty or activists would have covered these buggers. The amount of pointless threads on this forum is becoming tiresome.

I feel your pain Lardy, Glasto have a sporting chance (and form in this dept) with regard to a late replacement, but I'm guessing your O2 shows go back about a year now. Dave Grohl will come back and honour the deal, he's that kind of guy, right? STADIUM Mary, no poxy 02 for Grohl! I have no idea, haven't had any news from the promoters yet about rescheduling. I will just have to look forward to Madness in September, not quite the same though..... No, and with all due respects to Florence and the Machine, there will be a few people watching them at Glasto wishing Dave G had managed to stay on stage. A few thousand, no doubt. Also it was the only the other day that I found out her new song was about whether she'd built this ship to wreck, rather than built this shit to rake. You are listening to Florence and the Machine?Have the Tweenies disbanded then? Not intentionally but that song is on every fucking radio station every fucking hour. Not sure what implication was with the tweenies comment so i'll ignore it.

Apparently I've also just hit 1000 posts however it'd been 18 months. Fewling slightly better about the amount of time I spend on this site.

It's a game of luck I suppose.

Sadly can't see him getting to the second round let alone winning the thing.

You mean to say that there are, like, REAL people who actually let you through their front door???????????Holy Moly!! Family member (in this case) if it makes you feel better.

People who say make yourself at home and complain when I plug my phone charger in, put the kettle on and let out a few farts.
