    A deathless week in a dull dull race. A serious question to keep us amused for a bit. With 318 points on offer today (and the total dropping by one a day), will anyone actually hit the magic 2014 pts for the year? We've called winners before 16 Feb in previous Deathrace competitions.

     

     

    Current scoreboard:

     

     

    Maryportfuncity - 718

    Rotten Ali - 713

    Uschi - 669

    MSC - 358

    Toast - 358

    Damon Killian - 354

    Death Impends - 348

     

    Has there been a winnerless year yet?

    My nomination for room 101 is "bus people". Hear me out, I regularly ride the bus as it's my only way of getting about but I've come to realise how self-involved, ignorant and annoying bus people are.

     

    Drivers: Normally decent folk 99.9% of the time, so why do I constantly get the 0.01% that don't have a fucking clue. Today I was on the border between two zones in my local area when attempting to board a bus got told I'd have to pay to the next stop so decided I'd save myself a couple of quid and walk to the next stop. Only to be told by the driver I'd have to pay more to get to the next stop (i.e 2 stops after the stop I'd been thrown off)? Obviously I couldn't argue with the bus driver over it as I'd be the one who'd look like a tosser. Also I buy a week ticket and they put it in a little cover, fair enough, however it takes about a minutes to put the ticket in the cover. Why can't they just hand me ticket with the cover to do it myself (it's not exactly rocket science) rather than holding a bus queue and a bus up for longer?

     

    Teenagers/student: There discounted travel must cloud there fucking judgement. They take up far too much room and are often carrying pointless shit like musical instruments, satchels that apparently needs it's own cunting seats; why on earth can't you bastards squeeze those things in front of you, especially when buses start getting to standing room only. Bloody nora. They then get pissed off when you listen to their conversation, when you're talking at 90000 decibels what am I supposed to do pretend I can't hear you? I'm not even joining in, I'm just laughing at you and that's definitely at you not with you.

     

    Phone w***er: There should be a rule against taking phone calls while on a bus unless it is a genuine emergency. I do not need you screaming at whoevers on the other end of the phone. These people go in the same category as bus arguments with two physical people. I don't even want you to answer a phone happily that's still annoying.

     

    Bus Flirter: The morons who don't use bus rides as a way of getting from A to B but as a way of getting to D or V. It's genuinely creepy, and I'm sure a form of harassment but yet you still do it. Why do people attempt to chat totally random strangers up on the bus or at bus stops? Surely you realise the uncomfortable position you're putting that sod in and the way your ruining everybody elses journey, especially when the person has given you a total of 35 back off indicators (yes, I counted, bus journeys are boring).

     

    Headphone Twats:, Please don't wear headphones on buses, especially if you're stupid enough to drop your ticket. When the bus driver then attempts to give you the ticket back as he's a jobsworth who can't let people travel without valid tickets the entire bus is stood still for ten minutes while the driver tries to fucking locate you. Also in headphones twats go those of you who play music so loud that the people five seats away can hear it, I really don't want to listen to your latest pop shite through crackly headphones.

     

    Old People: I don't think I've ever heard anyone over the age of eighty have a meaningful conversation on a bus. I don't care about the telly you watch last night or your grandkids latest innocuous achievement. The thing that gets me the most though is the way you invade busses directly after the curfew on your pass limits has been placed and the way you get to the bus stop long before the curfew is lifted to queue up meaning those of us who arrived for the bus that we can actually get on time have to get past the waiting room for heaven on the way to our bus without bumping into you.

     

    Bus Snoggers: Do I even have to explain what's wrong with these people?

    Firstly if any of your team have died in the last 2-3 weeks it's possible I've missed them so let me know with an obit...

     

    More importantly, Sid Ceaser has ceased to exist and thus Death Impends and Rotten Ali have both gained 42 points.

     

    The table now:

     

    Rotten Ali 52 points

    Death Impends 42 points

    Estuarian Float 21 points

    The Unknown Man 10 points

    US Funeral Director 10 points

    maryportfuncity 7 points

    Everyone Else 0 points

    Barring miracles all three of my teams will see it through to February. FFS.

     

    It could be worst I have entered 4 teams and have no hits in January.

     

    Very surprised to see billy graham and valerie Harper still alive , its looking like a very unpredictable year so far . I think we might see some big surprise deaths this year, well we get them every year but I think we might get more than usual this year.

     

    I though you could only enter 3 teams?

     

    "There is a maximum number of 3 teams per individual (can be any combination of normal and theme teams) although I know in some cases that certain emails will contain many teams as part of a "syndicate" of different teams."

    She might still abdicate. She hasn't actually said she won't.

     

    Royal commentators put too much significance on the 1936 abdication: there is a great difference between a forty-something year old playboy abdicating after less than a year for entirely selfish reasons, and thus handing the crown to a brother who should not have inherited it; and an 88 year old woman, abdicating after 62 years due to old age, and handing the crown to the King-in-waiting for the last 62 years.

     

    I'd hope that if she doesn't go before, she'll abdicate at 90.

     

    It was the PM of the time who was being unreasonable, the Church of England was formed to allow for divorce, Wallis Simpson should have been accepted as his wife and been done with the issue.

    Prince Charles is slowly being readied to take over . Is she i'll or just wants retirement, maybe as so many people have said on here including me she and Philip will die within a year of each other.

     

    Doesn't the Queen only have six months to go anyway according to the globe, it would only be natural to prepare now?

     

    Although her genetics would indicate she's got a good 10-15 years left.

     

    I do think it's about time Philip gracefully left now though.

     

    Two hundred and sixty fucking freebie foreign holibags, 261 is meant to be the last one. (France for the woohoo 100 years celebr commorations).

     

    I wonder if any papers will be prepared to run the headline "Britain's oldest (or biggest) benefit scrounger buys the farm" when she goes?

    A very good news presenter, saw him mostly on the BBC World News channel when abroad on holiday.

    It would have been nice to see him on BBC News 24 more, came across far better than some of the usual faces.

     

    RIP Mr Dumor

    News reader breaks down and cries on air after reading tweets about his death.

     

    It's quite weird and a bit sick seeing that kind of humanity in people who can straight-faced announce thousands of people's deaths in Syria, I suppose it only matters if you new the person.

    They were actually great kids and fairly accurate at the data input but when did they stop teaching capitalisation at schools, if it is an address every word gets a capital letter, if your address is the funny farm every word gets a capital letter. They also learned postcodes can actually have 4 digits in the first part - all 3 of of them changed TD11 to TD1 and proceeded to tell me there can only be 3 digits in the first part of a postcode, no there can't 4 is the maximum, small beef but they were asked to type in what they were given, they were useless at putting capital letters in postcodes too.

     

     

    They didn't stop teaching capitalisation at schools. They were just idiots.
