Gut feeling says Tony Bennett.

Well, the Jeddah GP is going ahead on Sunday despite the fact there was a missile attack at an Aramco oil depot near the track done by Yemeni Houthi rebels. Oh, and not to mention the track itself was under major controversy from the drivers for being too dangerous. Let's see how this goes shall we?

Fucking hell. I can't believe this. I attended one of the Foo Fighters concerts in Manchester a couple of years ago and got to see them pretty up close. Taylor was a fantastic drummer.

I have had my fair share of relationships, don't think I have ever been dumped anytime though. But one of my close friends in university, his GF of 2 years cheated on him in a rather fucked up way. It turns out she was secretly having affairs behind my friend's back for at least a year, with a married man 22 years her senior (she was around 20, the married man was 42), My friend only found out about this because the man she was having affairs with, forgot his watch at her place and when my friend noticed this he suspected something because he had a different watch and that's when he looked through her phone and saw the cheating messages. Needless to say this messed up my friend pretty bad, he had to go into therapy for quite a while.

The whole euthanasia thing kind of brings me to a bit of a debate here, if a celebrity announces that they will undergo euthanasia/assisted suicide on a certain date (let's say Alain Delon announces he goes for euthanasia on January 10th, 2023), is it illegal to pick that celebrity for a dead pool? I'm sure expert DeathListers have some kind of policy on this but as a rookie DeathLister I would like to know.

A humanitarian Ukrainian thread
The Immortal replied to Paul Bearer's topic in DeathList extra-curricular
Sort of a similar situation with my granddad, for the longest time he's been trying to find a tenant or buyer for his father's old farm house because he's not able to take care of the property now due to his age, so now he's offering the whole property for free for any refugee that wants it. -
Chicago radio legend, Pervis Spann dead at 89 https://wgntv.com/news/chicago-news/pervis-spann-chicago-radio-legend-dies-at-89/

Recent pic taken by her brother. https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/wendy-williams-pushing-through-fog-26421039. Definitely not sitting in a regular chair (you can see the black support behind her shoulder, indicating the chair is different from the regular brown chairs in the photo), though I can't tell if she's in a wheelchair or not.

This guy was on the DeathList the year I was born, that's pretty crazy, and he's still alive, that's also pretty crazy. Yeah, I know, I'm one of the younger DeathListers around here.

I'd say he's not looking great, but not looking that bad either, don't see him needing a thread at the moment.

Since we are talking about fast talkers, it's probably a good time to mention Steve's arch rival John Moschitta Jr, who is best known for his acting work in commercials, and voicing Blurr (the fastest talking and fastest driving robot) in the original Transformers.

Cricket Thread. Only Mad Dogs And Englishmen

Damn. Remember watching him bowl on TV during my childhood days, never seen anyone spin the ball like him. -
People I Was Surprised To Find Are Still Alive
The Immortal replied to Catherine's topic in DeathList Forum
The two athletes in the famous "Black Power Salute" photograph back in the 1968 Olympics, Tommie Smith and John Carlos, are both still alive aged 77 and 76. -
I got engaged recently, and I learned an interesting tidbit from my fiancee that her grandmother is a good friend of former Olympic sprinter Dorothy Hyman, who won 3 medals in the Olympics including a silver medal for the 100 meters in the 1960 Rome Olympics. An interesting choice for a death pool team, I'm going to try and get some more inside information if I can and update you on this.

Belated congratulations on your victory, Banana.

Gary Rossington, last surviving original member of Lynyrd Skynyrd, has had a long history of heart issues (heart attack in 2015, heart surgeries in 2019 and 2021) and has not been talked about that much Also another "last survivor" of a band, Carl Palmer of Emerson, Lake & Palmer. He's 71 years old and although he seems to be doing okay, you never know.

NASCAR legend Cale Yarborough has not appeared at all in public since around 2018-2019 and considering he used to attend races and sign fan autographs regularly, this is not a good sign.

Dwayne Hickman is a hit for me.

I'm getting more of a feeling about a plane crash which involves a major sports team, I'm thinking a top football club or an international cricket team.

Pele, Sir Bobby Charlton, James Whale and Estelle Harris are excellent choices for newcomers and having Gorbachev and David Attenborough returning as well is a great thing, honestly just about every newcomer/return pick is decent actually. As for removals, I agree with several posters here that dropping Linda Nolan is a huge gamble that might backfire, same thing with Pope Benedict and Barbara Walters as well, I personally feel that Emperor Akihito and David Crosby could have been dropped instead because they seem to be in great health, heck Crosby's former bandmate Stephen Stills is in worse shape than him IMO. The other removals seem to be okay. Overall this seems like a pretty good list, I expect more hits this time, about 14-15.
