No ins or outs from me - we've all seen where that got us last week! I'm sticking with my failing but not ailing team from start to finish.

The original list is here: https://forums.deathlist.net/topic/7092-the-chequered-flag/?p=53217 Please note the comments remain those of OoO in that post, and so may have been superseded in the past ten years - they don't represent my current view of the person or their current state of health. I'll add Norman Dewis in to my post above.

But he posted the obit, didn't he? How much quicker could he have been? What am I missing here? Don't worry about it, my teams have been deleted and I wish the competitors all the best. *Duncan Bannatyne voice* I'm out.

Indeed I posted it immediately after posting the BBC Obit and entering for Round 3. If my team doesn't count, I'm withdrawing from this entirely. Edit: In fact, consider me withdrawn. One less to worry about.

Only on this list, which was provided by OoO in 2006 and which I have been updating. I'm sure there are probably others who can be added in if folk think they are important enough obit wise.

I could have sworn I created a thread for him years ago. Hmmmm, oh well, I guess it's vanished into the DL archive vaults :-( Daily Mail Obit for Bud Spencer for the DDP: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/reuters/article-3663061/Italian-Actor-Bud-Spencer-dies-age-86.html -
Ok I'm about 75% sure on this one, but I've gathered enough information to post this, and happy to be challenged on it with counter information. Here is a death notice for Malcolm Goddard who died on 13th June 2016. http://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/deaths/204043/obituary As you will see, donations are to the Gordon Edwards Charitable Trust: http://opencharities.org/charities/241297 which provides financial assistance for students of dancing. This leads me to discover a choreographer Malcolm Goddard on IMDB here: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0323811/ who appeared on The Arthur Haynes Show amongst others, but who also danced with Alicia Markova in Giselle. Indeed, that Malcolm Goddard was mentioned as attending Dame Alicia's funeral here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/somerset/4080153.stm Finally, the age is not given in the death notice but searching for the full name gives a Malcolm Lorden Goddard born in August 1926: http://www.checkcompany.co.uk/director/5774773/MR-MALCOLM-LORDEN-GODDARD so he would have been 89 when he died and would also have been old enough for the performances mentioned on IMDB. I hope after all that, I'm right.

Things always looked bad for England from the off. As the Icelandic captain handed over his flag, the England captain reciprocated by handing over an Article 50 declaration.

Bud Spencer seems to be the first hit hereabouts. Edit: Hang on, they need a BBC obit right?

The EU Referendum Hokey Cokey
YoungWillz replied to YoungWillz's topic in DeathList extra-curricular
All this, all of it is just the Establishment trying to give the people a good kicking for voting the way they did. We are still in the EU now, nothing in fact has changed now. The markets take any story and twist it to their own advantage to make money for themselves. Nobody is sad about Labour politicians resigning their cushy jobs..they are sad that they are not resigning their cushy seats. They say the party is out of touch with its supporters - no, YOU are out of touch with your potential voters, get out of politics altogether. People are further sad I'd suggest that not more heads have toppled in the Tory party. The craven dishonesty and self-interest demonstrated by the majority of the Cabinet is being rewarded by themselves staying in post to try and implement the very thing they disagree with the most. For example, the supposed threat now is put up taxes on everyone to make up for bankers tax leaving the country. Not what the people want, you're moving too slow on tax collection on the people who have been and who are supposed to be paying tax NOW. Nobody is talking about the opportunities a Brexit vote gives because they don't believe it. Anyway, Cameron's about to speak, rant over for now.
