Earthquake in California judging by the mercifully non-existent death toll not "The Big One" - magnitude 6.0 apparently whatever that means. It's the fourth in the state this year; does increased activity indicate a higher likelihood of the big one?

"All this depite being death from the age of eight. She died aged 101."
Kathleen Ollerenshaw must have been a busy grim reaper with all that time in service, who's replacing her?

I'm sitting back and thinking about the inevitiable here .. I'm livid. I'm sweating profusely and I don't know what the fuck to think here. I''ll probably end up screaming in my sleep but even if my team doesn't reappear I'll be here. The world today in 2014 .. has anything changed? If it has, I thought it was like that a few years ago. "You're fine as long as you ain't dead" so keep the forum alive and stay lively folks. Mary knows what it's about.
Pished, high, mid-life crisis? Answers on a postcard please.

My theme team for 2015 is going to be "people who I think will die but won't get obituaries".
That sounds like a sure fire winner; almost as sure-fire as my Serving Heads of State team; which at this rate will be a roll over with a altered name.

I also thought that this thread was about our beloved pop star and friend of South Yorkshire police, so how have we got on to Scousers and British Prime ministers..
I hope it's not down to me mentioning the Scouse songstress, who at one time was keeping her mouth closed( for a change) about her friend Harry Webb, but who has now decided to give him her support. if it is me, wholehearted apologies, but let's keep on track with what the thread should be all about.
At the risk of getting bogged down, how can you be an Honorary Scouser??????????? I fear a whole new thread coming on!
My understanding of the term honorary in context of heritage, i.e this case of usage was that it referred to someone not born in the area but having lived their so long they had taken on the culture and heritage as their own; rather than a parental heritage thing?

A posh Scouser. Isn't that an oxymoron
Gladstone?
P.S. anyone got any idea why there's so many fucking guests and we're getting "Resource limit reached" errors? People surely can't be this excited over the death of an Irish PM?
I was wondering that earlier as well, thought someone important had died but alas not...
I kind of want a European monarch to go so we can get the fanfare of a nation mourning a leader and the transition of power, we kind of due one as well given the most recent ones were abdications, old people who used to be queen or king are a bit less exciting than those who still are.. probably have to settle for middle eastern nutjob monarchs for now Harold V of Norway and Queen Elizabeth look about the only likely European contenders..
Anyway this has nothing to do with Cliff Richard..

Have you checked your computer for unusual downloads or programs you don't recognise, might be malicious software rather than anything to do with the site?

Anyone catch the one show earlier, Lenny Henry made a rather slanderous joke about Cliff Richard's parties that he was quickly forced by the BBC to apologise for, although it seemed there was a bit more truth to the joke than the BBC wanted to let on in the way he said it.

Can anyo
Who would the Yanks prefer to have in their hands, Assange or Edward Snowden
Snowden, he actually damaged American's view of America, Assange just embarrassed the American government.
Three questions - only one of which (3) I expect any on here to be able to answer;
1. What exactly does "soon"?
2. How the fuck does he plan to get out without being arrested?
3. The BBC quoted the cost of the police operation to ensure his arrest upon leaving, i.e a few armed cops stood outside, at 7 million pounds. A) how can a few armed cops cost that much? and B ) why didn't they just assign the task of arresting him to the armed police who would be guarding a nations embassy anyway and save us 7 million pounds? C) Why didn't they just go into the embassy anyway and damn the consequences, most of the nations in the world would be on their side; although I do understand the dangerous precedent concept; special dispensation could easily be argued?

God might be sending him a message after the evil bastard showed his true colours with his endorsement of military action yesterday.And now his niece-in-law and two grand nephews have died in a car crash:
Erm.... what? Action to stop ISIS is evil? You joking or..... just taking anti-Americanism a bit far?
The intent may not be strictly evil but the strategy is... the public don't want boots on ground as that'll mean our boys in the armed forces who are paid to, and freely chose to, fight in war zones at the prospect of death could get hurt, but if we let the Americans fire air bombs onto areas in ISIS control; almost inevitably killing some civilians we are intended to help and who have no choice to be in the war zone by dropping the bombs then that's fine, in a few months we'll have drop bombs as well and all these aid missions we've been running will have been perfect practice for those runs; notice Cameron using the phrase "no boots on the ground" as opposed to "no combat role". That's not to mention the fact that we backed rebels, who turned out to be jihadists, in Libya a few years back with air support, during the misguided period of the Arab spring combined with our indifference to ISIS's breeding ground situation in Syria is one of the major reasons ISIS has managed to spread it's poison to Iraq. The extreme cynic would also question the convenience of ISIS emerging in the middle east, with few signs of life (life in this context meaning active attacks - someone in Bradford claiming to be a member is not important in this) outside of the region given the fact that America and Britain (the government's not the vast majority of people in either country, who didn't want to gain it in the first place) are about to lose a major strategic armed position for mobilisation elsewhere in the middle east, should the "need" arise, in Iraq with withdrawal from the Iraq War beginning now. The fact Iraq has been a state where America has more or less been at war with somebody since 1990. Furthermore it's worth remembering that the Kurdish people that the west are arming to defend Iraq from Isis are similar to the Syrian rebels, some of whom are aka ISIS, in that nobody really knows what they'll do with the reclaimed land or more importantly the weapons.
In summary the west should maybe have done something several years ago in a more targeted fashion, but even then it would have been an extremely dangerous proposition; we have now completely missed that boat and should leave the countries to sort out their own affairs, as per the point of withdrawal. We should accept that ISIS v Iraq is no different to Israel v Hamas, a terrorist insurgency and a state at war over terrorist hiding behind the façade of religion to go about the Neanderthal way of the world; war over inconsequential bollocks that only serves to alienate the people they claim to represent from wider society and ultimately provides a route for the much bigger threat than either side, the American backed western war machine, to roll into their internal affairs.

And I'm back.. time for one of those regular full list checks where scores are settled for extremely obscure fuckers lost in the mirth of time and missed by me, this time including everyone who died recently. These full-list checks will be carried out mid-month from now on, rather than ad hoc with well-publicised/high profile deaths highlighted as and when they happen.
Dora Bryan died July 23 [203 points to Toast]
Alex Forbes died died July 28 [208 points to CaptainChorizo]
Lauren Bacall died August 12 [223 points CaptainChorizo and Book]
Mario Oriani-Ambrosini died August 14 p [225 points to Estuarian Float]
All of which means we have a new leader and a bit of a mid-table shift around.

Congratulations, Deathray. It was about time you got points for other teams than the Centenarian one.So it only took 7 months and 6 days for me to a my first proper DDP hit.

He was a nonogenarian when I picked him.

Congratulation Death Impends and a noble cause you've donated to.
It appears I've no hits from this year. Oh well.

Thanks wikipedia aka Phantom.

Former Deathlist pick and utterly unpronounceable Thai King reminds folk of his health by going back into hospital.
Still more pronounceable than the coup leader's name.

Just a proviso in case any major fucker dies in the next few weeks - I won't be updating for a good few weeks. I'm still alive (unless it gets to like October or something) - just report deaths here and then when I'm back on here the op will be updated and points will be allocated.

Yesterday there was a debate about the large numbers of members who are elligible to sit in the House of Lords apparently they are having to share five to an office. Betty Boothroyd wants them to consider retiring.
She should drop some hints by registering on this site and next year submitting a DDP team of elderly lords who need to consider their health. Come on Betty you know you want to.
If the recent murmurings actually come to fruition they'll be able to reduce it by half if the cops do a mass job on them.
I just wish our corrupt politicians could be bought to justice.

Sydney Morning Herald, showing picture of crashed 1963 Sunbeam Alpine

More likely Dean..

Looks like a couple more Ukrainian States are poised to join Mother Russia.
I sincerely hope when you typed that out, you imagined it in an exaggerated, sinister sounding Russian accent. In fact the whole sentence could have been read like that. I know that's how I read it.
Only just noticed this, I was actually imaging the Iron Maiden song but sinister sounding russian accent works...
