Do it for Barry, Do it for Barry. Don't do it, don't do it! As I have asked before in Somewhat More Exclusive Company: What the Bloody Blue Blistering Blazes is Lady Bird Johnson doing on the 2006 list? Senses taken leave of, Weathermen all over the place.

The 2005 Near Misses thread isn't locked or deleted, Iain. It's just been unpinned so you have to look down the list a bit before you find it.

Sent you your team in a PM, Mr. Godot seeing as you're talking like you've lost it. The Hartlepool Deadlypool should be up and visible by late tonight. I could do it quicker but I want to give the bloody idiot who put Bob Monkhouse in his team a chance to put in an alternative. Not counting 3 or 4 spoilt ballot papers, we have nearly 30 teams and about 130 celebs, so I'm quite satisfied with the response, particularly considering I didn't publicise it anywhere but here. Should be a "good game", as Bruce Forsyth might put it.

I imagine it takes a while to find pictures of all the obscure new people that have been picked. Must be a lot of work involved. They have my admiration for their efforts. It is a bugger of a job. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

Sorry I missed it. I meant to enter but things got a bit on top of me. Only just got the DDP in on time. Sorry.

How can I answer that...... NO Clive Dunn

I got my plastic carrier bag back as well. It was empty, mind you.

Come on folks! Only another 5 hours or so till Last Orders on The Hartlepool Deadlypool! Get 'em while they're still warm. So to speak.

Brilliant! Wish I could speak Canadian.

I also opted out on selecting him for my 2006 ddp based on the famousness factor. My DDP team isn't quite finalised yet, but there's a good chance he'll be on there. The chances of his dying in 2006 are close on 100%. The chances of his getting an obit may be slightly less, but we generally do tend to underestimate how many obscure celebs get obits in the national press.

I was just thinking something along those lines myself. Take care y'all and mind they roads!

Do you smoke a pipe by any chance Notapotato? No. That wouldn't be ladylike. Not another Deathlist Genderbender. Well would it?

I voted for Streisand. Seemed the most logical choice.

Aye, it was shut. Anyone here ever been to Maryport? No, but I've heard it's full of gay pubs. I wouldn't know anything about that, sir. I once bought quite a nice pair of slippers in Margate, which I still wear occasionally. And some home-brew equipment. Isn't Maryport where Norman St John Stevas lives?

methinks? I don't like that way of speech it reminds me of a wacky scientist who is performing an idea that is way beyond his abilitys. Reminds me of Rentaghost. Methinks. Gadzooks Odd's bodkins, forsooth!

Why didn't this plan come to fruition? A bit on the inert side, aren't we. I don't have much hope for our Glorious Revolution in that case. Whatever happened to Josco's Revolutionary Brigade anyway?

Anyone else here ever been to Margate?

When we've quite finished admiring one-another's togs, I'd like to point out that there are only a couple of days left until the closing date of the Hartlepool Deadlypool. (Dec. 31 at midnight GMT). There have already been an awful lot of entries so we should be in for an exciting competition, and I am in for a lot of work, so please have some patience if the finished site isn't up right away on the 1st of January. The Hartlepool Deadlypool.

In fact this whole episode was really just a ruse to make Windsor think he had been banned (Wish I'd thought of that excuse earlier) Must confess the thought occurred to me too. If we´d been clever we could have kept up the pretence as well. But that would have been horribly mean considering the effort Mr. Windsor went to to keep the club on its feet during the downtime. Big round of applaus for Windsor folks! (Do we have a clapping smiley yet?)

He must have left the groceries behind. Probably has Alzheimer's too.

Is he a Salvationist? Many of them live a bit longer on account of the abstinence.

Hey look, it's Larry Pestilence III! Nice to see you again Mr. P! Cup of tea?

What kind of an attitude is that, man? Don't you know we had a death in the las few hours of 2004? What's to say there won't be two more this year or even three? Get a grip for pity's sake!

That is indeed frightening. A case of a government doing things because it can, like a dog licking its own genitals. Time for a revolution methinks.
