Exu

Bloody hell, I had two hits in January with Mark E Smith and Jimmy Armfield. I've messaged my team to Wormfarmer and it is from memory ( I think) Cleo Laine, Tony Bennett, Bill Wyman, Yoko Ono and Leonard Cohen

Serves the fucker right

At least Ikea has steered well clear of pissing off the Muslims (so far).

I bloody hate going to Ikea, but on the rare occasions that I am dragged there I spend my time reading out loud the dodgy sounding names of the various articles on display. I live in hope of coming across a turd, tripping over a knob or examining a minge at close quarters on future visits

The American system of sentencing never ceases to amaze me. Setting a tariff of a number of years is a risky business in these times of ground breaking scientific advancement. Just to piss everyone off he will probably cryogenically preserve his body after death so that his head-in-a-jar can be released into the community one day in the future.

Leslie Phillips for me

Although the guy was in his 80s he had a modern perspective on football and showed himself to be a very intelligent guy unlike some of the morons you see in the media these days. RIP

That's alright then:)

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/42748656 a fair chance he won't make it to the of the year, but if he does...

Stirling Moss is 'retiring from public life' according to the BBC. unlikely to see 2019 out I'd suggest so if he gets to the end of the year the committee should have a good look at him.

Ex England footballer cyrille regis dies at just 59

Ex England footballer cyrille regis has died. Just 59. Tragic.

Former Liverpool shot stopper Tommy Lawrence aka the flying pig has died

Well played Death Impends ! I'll happily take 10th place in my first ever bash at a Dead Pool ( I changed my handle a couple of months ago)

Happy New Year everyone. I'm voting for Olivia Newton-John, sad though it is.

Reckon there will be a dozen hits, but life is so fragile and uncertain which is why this site is so fascinating in the first place. Off to see my mother-in-law later and she will be wanting to see who is on the list as even she has developed a morbid curiosity on the subject ( I'd never have thought t!)

McCain will be the first to go in 2018

...which is why I'm struggling to understand the clamour to see the McCanns being subjected to one on a trashy TV show. It would prove nothing either way and probably fuel a feeding frenzy on the part of the gutter press

If lie detector tests are so reliable then I'm puzzled as to why they aren't widely used in the law courts. I wouldn't give Mr Kyle the air time and so the McCanns would be wise to steer well clear of him in my humble opinion.

I think June Whitfield is a decent bet. She'll be getting a decent standard of care in her nursing home, but she is definitely getting long in the tooth.

Warwick University I remember reading somewhere

I had him in my list of 50 for last year and agree that he isn't a picture of health so he could go at any time .

Footballers for me: Muller Stiles Sansom Armfield Greaves
