Dunno what's going on, but apparently there are reveals going on the DL main page. I suggest that any entries received after Rover's be disqualified.

Peter Bowles Survivors Squad Those who appeared on film, on TV etc with the late great suave actor.

Not sure whether she has chocolate factory problems....

Well I remember @Sean missing out on the Poker Title to @Perhaps in a similar fashion some years ago. But always recall, One Direction never won X Factor.... So, less than 7 hours to go....

I predict the closing of this thread shortly and your ass being handed a warning.

Actress Laurie Morton, widow of the above mentioned David Kelly, reportedly dead: https://www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2022/12/31/tolka-row-actor-laurie-morton-dies-aged-98/ Appeared in D' Mrs Brown's Boys Movie, Ballykissangel and in yet another Peter Bowles related death, The Irish RM.

As one door closes, another window opens...

Not me. Felt he was too obvious a pick, and I did submit really early.

Fuck the Pope Emeritus, replaced him with Hanif Kureishi.

Followed up quickly with a Leslie Phillips hit. Followed up very very quickly with a Bill Treacher hit. Followed in short measure by Vicky Phelan, a Wildcard for me. Followed by Doddie Weir. Maybe some points will come my way somehow, some time, some day....(West Side Story) Followed by Jet Black. Late in the year hits here, FWIW. Followed by Pele for me here. Obviously it would be nice to know if and when we are getting a final tally here. Followed by Pope Benedict as well. Quite a few hits for me in the last two months.

Nup, Benedict a hit for me and a miss for the Committee. A little more respectable beating, ha! YW - 11; DL - 14

Pope Benedict takes me to 33/60 here.

Pope Benedict takes me to 15 hits for 2022, my best ever on the Shadowlist! Now to amend my 2023 Shadowlist...

Yep I'm a Pope hit.

I have another hit here with Pope Benedict @Death Impends. Best showing I think.

In among all the noise on the Forum, Benedict XVI seems to be a hit here.

My thoughts are with @Banana at this time....

Just retired to bed, popped on the iPad now this!!! Guess she’s off the big list for next year. Ha!

In a rare show of granting @Lard Bazaar a very late Christmas present, Anthea Turner is feeling "like death" with the flu: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-11586665/Anthea-Turner-feels-like-death-falling-ill-Xmas-flu.html It should be noted she's postponed her wedding three times this year (2022). Summat more serious underlying all this? Anyone want to punt her for 2023?

It's now Betty White Day in the UK. So, to hell with it, here's my Nifty Fifty for 2023 - subject, of course, to alteration for deaths occurring before the new calendar (Dr Who this year) goes up on the wall.
