The Great Cornholio

Agreed. I think Joe Biden has a good chance of winning due to Trump's shortcomings in his presidency. Trump was blocked on pretty much everything he tried to do by supreme court, so his presidency isnt exactly full of accomplishments... Might be worth waiting until the debates, maybe people might realise that Biden is completely clueless and incompetent - more so than Trump.

Fair few valid points made here. But who said they have to be pensioners? I mean we have people in their 60s posting now. So someone posting in their 60s in 2004 could be in their 70s and 80s... Needless to be said, death can occur to anyone at any time. My thoughts are that someone could've committed suicide, I mean a forum thats all about death could be a forum of choice for someone who is unhealthily obsessed with it. Lets say if someone is depressed for example and death is all they can think about. Maybe even cancer or alcoholism etc... I do not expect all of those in my list to be dead, this is just trial and error pretty much - narrowing things down. Maybe some day we'll see who the possible deceased <5% of the list is - although that will clearly take some doing...

List updated It might be the case that more people, like TAFKAG, will come back and confirm they are still breathing. To state the obvious, this will take a while for us to narrow it all down or to get any info confirming which DLers are no longer with us (if any). @Paul Bearer, is it possible to get any confirmation concerning the emails of a lot of these accounts. Are they still active? Or would that be taking things too far?

All good G, just checking you werent dead

Friday 69

Well we cant say for sure whether or not someone who was last online last weekend is still alive, we can say that its highly unlikely that they have died during that short space of time, opposed to someone who hasnt been on the forums in 5-10 years or so... Best chance of finding out who is alive and who is dead is process of elimination, lets collectively take what we know and find out the answer to whether any DLers are now dead.

I think statistically you are 40% likely to die within the first year of being in a care home. Forget where I saw that statistic, tried googling for it but stupid coronavirus related stuff comes up every time...

The inactive members list Updated last on 24/3/23 - this list was a waste of time, why did I even do this? -Just removed some people off the list who came online recently ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I've made a list of those who: - haven't been online for a year or longer (as of August 2020) - who have had over 100 posts (I'm not doing every account, fuck that). If you're alive, give this post a react/comment/quote/message me abuse/whatever and I'll take you off the list: ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ So here we go...

Found 2 pictures of my great great grandmother (Edith Flowers - neé Summers - 1884 - 1969) in my uncle's attic. Edith's husband, James Flowers, was one of the people who created the General Workers Union - along with Labour politician Ernest Bevin.

Looks like diamonds are not forever after all...

Can we now consider that even massive explosions that size and heat dont destroy steal beams?

I can probably see Betty White being dropped if I'm honest. She is going very strong so if the committee wanted to be bold then I'd imagine She'd be the biggest name they'd be willing to drop. As for the lesser known, Gates Sr probably wont make it back on the list due to the controversy of whether he is deemed famous or not... Other names likely to be dropped would be Joanne Woodward, Peter Sutcliffe, David Crosby and probably Dick Cheney too - despite having 5 heart attacks he'll probably continue on soldiering for at least another few years. My Nan had cancer 3 times, 10 years after the last diagnosis she is in her 80s doing well. You'll be surprised how robust the human body is...

Thursday 64

Worst thing since the holocaust

Because I'm a fucking rebel mate

The part of the explosion that had me in tears:

Allan Lichman, who has successfully predicted all presidents of the last 4 decades, predicts Trump will lose the whitehouse.

Cause of explosion has been confirmed...

Too soon?
