    You're just confusing me now. Why, all of a sudden are you deciding to respond to people's reactions to your ideas. When you've suggested ideas in the past, whether they be good or bad (personally I didn't dislike your social media idea), you never responded to criticism/negativity. I didn't call you pretentious, it just appeared, to me, as if you were using a lot of needlessly complex language for the sake of it in your original post on this thread.

    If you're going to quote me, at least get my sci-fi gobbledegook name right.

    Never have I seen someone try so hard to sound intelligent. A meaningless word soup.

    Brazilian publicist yes. Cuban Spanish TV presenter no. The other 2 are a Mexican actress and a Brazilian comedian.

    Political Frailty

    It's poetic that he spent his career fighting for the freedom of his own country, only to die abroad in an relatively obscure country that has already achieved its own independence.

    Dying Off The Radar

    Wikipedia (I know it's not the best source) is saying filming started in May 2022, so a month after the reported death date.

    The 2024 Crowdsourced Deathlist

    Deathel Kennedy 12/50 10th October 2024 Human rights activist, policial widow and the head of a family dynasty, Ethel Kennedy has died. Ethel Skakel was the sixth child of businessman George Skakel, allowing her entry into high society from an early age. She studied at Manhattanville College, where she attained a bachelor’s degree, alongside Jean Kennedy, her future sister-in-law. She began dating Robert F. Kennedy in 1946, after he had finished with one of her elder sisters. The pair married in June 1950 and she spent much of the next two decades helping family members campaigning for endless political positions. In 1955, her mother and father were killed in a plane crash, a fate also suffered by her elder brother 11 years later. In 1968 she supported her husband’s campaign for the presidency and was by his side when he was fatally shot in June of that year. The pair had 11 children, with the youngest being born 6 months after Robert’s death. She outlived two of her sons. Following her husband’s assassination she started the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights organisation, she was still an active campaigner into her late 80s. In recent years, she has been seen as a figurehead for the Kennedy family, as one of the last living members from the Camelot days. The Kennedies have recently been thrown back into the spotlight due to the aspirations of her son Robert Jr. Last week it was reported that she had suffered a stroke. Ethel Kennedy died today aged 96. She was making her first appearance on the Crowdsourced Deathlist, at No.33

    Personally I think she caught brain worms from Robert Jr, and that's what has finished her off.

    6. Ethel Kennedy

    Like most who've borne the Kennedy name she has had a tragedy filled life. Both her parents killed in a plane crash in 1955 Her older brother suffered the same fate in 1966 RFK killed in 1968 Her son David overdosed in 1984 Another of her sons Michael died in a skiing accident in 1997.

    Am I right in thinking that the two wives of Ted are now the only Kennedys left from that generation.

    Betty Driver Memorial Soapstar Superstar Thread

    Hypothetically it could be... There's no need to delete anything, I have nothing to hide, if anything this whole situation has been quite humorous. I went by real name for my first 2(ish) years on this site, so it really doesn't matter to me that folk here know who I am or that I have a twitter account almost entirely dedicated to Coronation Street.

    The grand Old Duke of Kent

    He looked awful a couple of years back and I was convinced he'd soon be dead. Seeing him now, I think he could quite easily go into his late 90s. His wife would be a much better shout.

    Political Discussions And Ranting Thread

    Shit. The two remaining candidates were my least favourites when all the candidates were announced, not that I had a favourite to begin with. Badenoch is a vile, far-right nut and Jenrick is an untrustworthy slimeball. She is completely detestable in my eyes, so I think I'd prefer Jenrick only because he's more likely to get himself involved in a career ending scandal and require them to have to get another new leader. I'd never vote Tory anyway but there isn't even the tiniest glimmer of hope anymore.

    Yes she was diagnosed with MS in the 90s, having had symptoms since her time on Corrie. Whilst I'm here, @Master Obit has confirmed via PM that the website is accurate and that she is dead.

    She was still alive as of last year, as discussed here..

    It's happened before with the likes of Andy Devine, Ernst Walder and Paula Tilbrook. Although I'm inclined to believe it's true, there is still the possibility that it's a load of bull as it is currently the only one source.

    Cheryl Murray, Coronation Street's Suzie Birchall in the 70s and 80s, has a memorial website saying she died September 2023, nothing anywhere else, but it's happened before with a lot of other UK soap stars.

    Derby Dead Pool 2024

    I am likely never going to agree with you on this, however I commend your conviction. My point is, and I think I've made this argument before, is that Yahoo allows more international picks and stops the DDP from becoming insular around the UK. Of the 29 you listed all but one of them are not UK based, John Sainty being the exception. As much as I understand that the DDP is a UK focused deadpool, it is open internationally and accepts picks from all around the world. Even if Yahoo only provided an unique QO for one hit, I would still back it's inclusion as a valid source, as, in my opinion, it makes the game more equal to international players. Your point on the stupidity of Yahoo being allowed when all it does is copy articles from sources that aren't allowed, is unarguable, however I see that as a sign to widen the number of allowed sources rather than simply to cut out Yahoo. The pool I run on this site allows anything as a QO as long as death is definitive, as I love having a more diverse set of picks, but I would never argue for anything near that for the DDP. Instead I think that some of Yahoo's most common sources should be allowed as QOs in the DDP and then, and only then, would I support the removal of Yahoo from the list. I feel like that would be a reasonable compromise, but I have the feeling you'd still be against it.

    No? There are no regulars from the Time Warrior, but Daker and Donald Pelmear are 100% still alive. Steve Brunswick is credited as playing a sentry in that serial, it's his only known credit and it is not known if he's living or dead. 0 living main cast, 3 living guest cast with an asterisk to note that one of the three is not known.
