Deathray

BBC News just had some woman on to talk about tennis, elderly sports writer. Seemed like a 2015/2016 candidate.

Anyone watch Billy Connoly's big send off?

Fuck........ that is funny. Unfortunately for you, apparently I have reached the maximum limit of "likes" that I am allowed to give in one day. Never had that before..... I had no idea there was a limit on the number of "likes" you can do in one day. I hit it on the day Thatcher died. Hahahahahahahahaha. It's funny because it's (presumably) true. I'm guessing the limit might be anything between 15 and 25. It's 15 I think. I don't think I liked more than 5 in the last 24 hours and it ran out at 10 on the first page.

He's the drink driving car crashing literally and metaphorically hasbeen right? That sounds more like George Michael. *Doh* Boy George is the other one right come-a-come-chameleon ... Maybe we could get him to do an autoerotic asphyxiation cover of it cum-a-cum-a-croaking

Yet more evidence to file under "Why Guests Shouldn't Be Allowed?"

I've got a list about that long of "good ideas for lists" but 0 people actually on any lists... At least there's eight months to get some of them done.

Erm. How does that work?

Be careful the thought police will be after you for saying gay-dar!!

Looks like a couple more Ukrainian States are poised to join Mother Russia. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-27360146

So apparently I pulled my first hit with Connie Marrero back in April. Belated Yay... should check the site more often...

It's a shame you're countries excellent song got beaten by a drag act with a gimmick beard. Still think Iceland was the best song on the night. For those who don't watch eurovision;

Discover you've been spending to much time on the site when you write a to do list for important, normal stuff and then add

A bit of shift at the lower end of the table as Toast and Rotten Ali gain 126 points on the news that Katherine Crowe has tragically passed on. Death Impends 434 points Captain Chorizo 410 points the_engineer 297 points Rotten Ali 249 points The Unknown Man 131 points Toast 130 points Estuarian Float 87 points US Funeral Director 10 points maryportfuncity 7 points Everyone Else 0 points

I was watching on eurosport (I like commentators who actually have a clue what they're on about) but according to other forums there was a shot of some audience members smiling and he said something along the lines of "smile for your uncle willie girls" and now #unclewillie is trending on twitter...

Willie Thorne gave his game away in commentary..

Apparently some people died, I'll give a OP update later but scores on the doors are now; 102 for Fred Ho to Death impends 121 for Efram Zimbalist Jr for CaptainChorizo + The Unknown Man Table; Death Impends 434 points Captain Chorizo 410 points the_engineer 297 points The Unknown Man 131 points Rotten Ali 123 points Estuarian Float 87 points US Funeral Director 10 points maryportfuncity 7 points Toast 4 points Everyone Else 0 points

And Jack Ramsay provides a 117 point boost for CaptainChorizo and Death Impends. This opens up a big gulf between 3rd and 4th place, are the main pack beginning to pull away or is our winner biding their time... Death Impends 332 points the_engineer 297 points Captain Chorizo 289 points Rotten Ali 123 points Estuarian Float 87 points The Unknown Man 10 points US Funeral Director 10 points maryportfuncity 7 points Toast 4 points Everyone Else 0 points

Snookers finished for the day. So I've cured my boredom with a little potentials list. World Championship Survivors since 1970 Qualification criteria, played in the main draw of a World Championship since challenge format ended. (1969 world championship - 2014 world championship) (People who don't have a wikipedia page, or there age can't be found by google excluded) Most of them won't be troubling the DL Commitee any time soon, but still interesting to note how snooker's first generation of real stars are still yet to get old and the majority of the generation before that are already dead. I'm sure this'll come in handy in 20 years time.

There not actually that old, they've just lived snooker lifestyle which back when they played wasn't good for your health (Bill Werbernick must be the prime example of that.) The BBC regulars are all under 70 John Virgo, 68 Terry Griffiths, 66 Dennis Taylor, 65 Willie Thorne, 60 Steve Davis, 56 John Parrot, 49 Stephen Hendry, 45 Ken Doherty, 44 Eurosports guys may be better at their jobs, but aren't much older; Joe Johnson, 61 Neal Foulds, 50 Mike Hallet, 54 Dave Hendon, ?? Phil Yates, ??

Has anyone been watching the world snooker championships? None of the players are old enough to consider for deathlist but I think a few viewers might have been bored to death by that Wilson v Walden match. Fancy Robertson for the title though.

It seems like someone likes fucking with the pussy in the big apple more than Barney Stinston .

After a April drought, we have a shower of celebrity perishers with Sandy Jardine (113 points to CaptainChorizo + the_engineer) and Arturo Licata (113 points to the_engineer) both passing away. the_engineer 297 points Death Impends 215 points Captain Chorizo 172 points Rotten Ali 123 points Estuarian Float 87 points The Unknown Man 10 points US Funeral Director 10 points maryportfuncity 7 points Toast 4 points Everyone Else 0 points

Bugger. He was on the subs bench for my Toast of the Turf team. By the way, could a mod sort out the ungrammatical and misspelt thread title, please? And it's Clare Balding, not Claire, but I can't see that she warrants a thread to herself anyway. Just call it Horse Racing Personalities, or summat similar. Or Sods of Turf. How about; The Grandaddy National

Should we try this again with a rule specifying war dead/lists of casualties from disasters don't count?
