Overton wasn't close to being in contention, as he only received 36 points in total. Sub points have been scattered throughout now...

So, do the points that were accumulated last time count against your chances or are they only in the event of a tie. Because if it’s the former, then I’m likely out, if it’s the latter, then I think Skinny Kiltrunner is likely out after Overton’s death...

US Senator John Culver, probably best known for losing his senate seat to the soon to be President Pro Tempore Chuck Grassley dead at 86.

Well, here’s my survivors. You can pick them if you want to: 2017: Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, Rick Davies, Greg Gilbert, Heidi Loughlin (4/20) 2018: Leah Bracknell, Stuart Fraser, Greg Gilbert, Clive James, Linda Nolan, Fernando Ricksen, Marieke Vervoort (7/20)

Shortlist is at 30 now. Two very big question marks still on it. One is someone who we are waiting to see scan results on to see whether they are a good pick or not for 2019. The other is someone who I heard that there cancer may be worse than reported according to social media rumblings, though I’m not really sure if I can go off a pick solely by that. The last ten cuts are going to be the hardest for me, ngl...

Just to give you an idea what the battleground looks like at the moment: 46. 189 47. 184 48. 181 49. 175 50. 166 ————————— 51. 154 52. 151 53. 148 54. 148 55. 147 Of course, more lists will probably come to raise the bar higher, but I wanted to give a general idea on how much it will take to qualify as of right now...

We have a winner

Has been killed softly with his song.

When a chat you’re using quits working, and you can’t seem to figure out how to get back to that chat. That pisses me off so much...

I’ll give another hint. The song by this artist is over 10 minutes long...

Released from hospital.

So first, Sister Wendy Beckett was at 85 points when she died, and as such points have been scattered among the surviving entries. The list count is now at 28, and there are sine pretty notable comebacks and shifts happening as of right now. I am only going to talk about 2 of them though. First, remember when I said a certain A lister name was struggling behind the Sinead O'Connor typer name? Well, since that post he has acquired over 200 points, making his chances of making the list again very likely. The second, and perhaps more important one, is that the person who held onto the lead since the death of George H W Bush has been dethroned. I was so convinced that they would hold on to the lead in the end that the change in leader kind of surprises me, but then the person who is leading right now is a well known bedblocker...

I’m good. 100 years old is a bit too much for me...

Nah

I see one of the committee members is on right now, so let’s recap a few names that should be on the list next year imo: Mikhail Gorbachev Sidney Poitier Jacques Chirac Nobby Stiles Jean Louis Trintignant Fernando Ricksen Lee Kerslake I doubt most of these will make it on tbh, but I do think all of them would make solid deathlist picks...

Nope. Great song though

It ain’t the LA Dodgers wife though. It’s the Disney animator. You need to do some more research sometimes...

Here’s one for you. 1. It is the title track of a jazz album 2. The song originated from a musical 3. This version contains no vocals on it

Mirror obit.

Looks to be true: Condolences to DDT...

I hope you all had a great day today whether you celebrate Christmas or not. There are 6 days left to have your voice be made on the crowdsource list, which may seem like a lot of time but it’ll come closer than you think (feck, we’re this close already?), especially since the entries here will close 3 hours sooner than most pools required to be entered by the 31st...

For fuck sakes! I had completely removed her from my list and now there’s this update that makes the final decision harder for me. Fun times, ain’t it?

You know it’s a pisser when you find an extremely fascinating name that is probably going to die next year but is at an age where picking to many of them may not be the best strategy, and you already got some plans in that department...

Merry Christmas! And happy holidays if you don’t celebrate Christmas.

Hello there Death Impends. Thank you for running this pool after the great years of Rotten Ali. I’m going to do the unthinkable and only submit a team of 9 people before the starting line. This is totally going to be a winning strategy. Also, once again all of my survivors have been sacked, never to be entered in the Hartlepool ever again. 1. Linda Nolan 2. Stirling Moss 3. Stanley Baxter 4. Valery Giscard d’Estaing 5. Mel Brooks 6. June Brown 7. Ronnie Wood 8. Olivia Newton-John 9. Joni Mitchell
