    He's never been on DDP. I can see why, as he's a complicated figure, but he's getting up there in years. I had an aunt who was similarly... complicated... who was found behind the door of her flat at a similar age.

     

    Hi was on my scouse team a few years ago under Akinwale Arobieke. I can't see him making 65 to be honest.

    I'm proud to present my theme (and only) team, Lil Tay Is Not Dead but Alive With Soul. It's named after David Gest's aged-like-milk tour. All these names were incorrectly or maliciously pronounced dead within the last 18 months. This is my favourite theme team I've done, if only for the sheer absurdity you're about to read.


     

    Name | backstory | how convincing was the hoax?

     

    Linda Nolan [JOKER] | Some boomer heard Linda Lewis was dead and sent condolences to the Nolan family. 2/10

    Purple Aki | Twitter users reported he was found dead in his flat in Leeds. All rumours about this man are true until proven false. 8/10

    Jimmy Carter | Announced in November 2022 by an account called CarterCenterUS, run by he-who-shall-not-be-named. Proud to say I helped stop the spread of misinformation. 6/10

    Raul Castro | This one came about just before I submitted my team and was quickly shut down. 4/10

    Simon Cowell (TV guy with uncanny face) | People edited photos to make it look like he was seriously ill or dead and Sinitta fell for it LOL. 1/10

    Yael Dayan | Locally reported to have died from COPD. Commented herself that she was fine. Still dying from COPD, I presume??? 5/10

    Cardinal Alexandre do Nascimento | 2 separate hoaxes last Spring. Who has the time or interest? 7/10

    Mary Marquis | Scottish Twitter figures who looked up to her thought she was dead. 9/10

    Zubin Mehta | Cancelled shows in Berlin and then 'died'. Convenient timing. He wasn't even in Europe. 4/10

    David Neilson | This weird memorial website posted an obituary, but it made it t' forum. 3/10

    Ozzy Osbourne | He found a picture of himself in a YouTube memorial, but didn't do a Marcus Garvey. 0/10

    Vladimir Putin | When is he not being falsely killed off? 2/10

    Thomas Robb | Wikipedia vandalism. Fingers crossed though. 3/10

    Linda Robson | The Loose Women cast were being killed off at an alarming rate by Twitter users. She posted a response video where she pretended to be undead, pretty good sport. 1/10

    Amartya Sen | Reported by Deccan Herald and Times of India, thanks to a hoax account and despite his daughter denying it. 6/10

    Try Sutrisno | Multiple hoaxes circulated on "messaging applications". Meh. 4/10

    Loretta Swit | Again, some people on Twitter were sad to hear from somewhere that she died. As a bonus, she got some automated tribute videos (not that kind, get your mind out the gutter). 5/10

    Denise Welch | Wild combination of Twitter fantasy-writing and Wikipedia vandalism. "The Gay, Horny Pink from the African tribe of Welch's" suffered heartburn from watching Hollyoaks, was struck down by lightning from the 5G tower masts, then had a bout of explosive diarrhoea at her personal toilet, then was run over by Kerry Riches' mobility scooter after it was hijacked on a drunken rampage by Farida Khalifa, hair and makeup artist for the traveller gypsy community. Her name was changed to Theynise Squelch, Jesus, "I need a man", Loreen, P!nk, Blackpink, Holly Jervis, and Honest Vocal Coach; her picture was changed to June Whitfield's by a user named Dula Peep. 0/10 but funny

    Bruce Willis | Those lame Facebook posts that put 2 dates on a picture with excessive HDR and mums and dads in Nigeria and Bangladesh post sad reactions. I'm sorry if that sounds insensitive, if you've witnessed it you'll know it's completely true. 0/10

    Qi Xin | Xi Jinping's mother, reported to have died from covid but still going apparently. 4/10

     

    SUBS: left off because they're all healthy 30-somethings.

    Ciara | Some art director named Jackie Murphy died and some really stupid people on Facebook thought Ciara (young, well-known pop star) died because her name was mentioned in a tweet about Murphy. 0/10

    Josh Seiter | Bachelorette contestant with mental health problems. A post about his death went up on his own Instagram. I would've believed this one. 9/10

    Charley Uchea | Someone pretending to be her cousin posted that she had passed away. It wasn't officially denied for a week. Did she not bother because she thought it was obvious it was fake? Because it wasn't. 8/10


     

    When I put together this team in Autumn, the working title was Sophie Anderson Is Not Dead but Alive With Soul. Then, in the coincidence of the century, she FUCKING DIED 3 MONTHS AFTER HER DEATH HOAX EXACTLY LIKE DAVID GEST.

     

    The iconic "David's Dead" video, for reference:

     

    Fun team.  I will be annoyed if Purple Aki dies this year as I left him off my Scouse/Merseysider team.

    A mere 46 years after Matthew Garber. Has any other actor outlived their screen child by a longer stretch? 

     

    Not off the top of my head, but Craig T.  Nelson and JoBeth Williams only have a few years to go before surpassing that with Dominique Dunne and then a few more years after that before they do a double with Heather O'Rourke. 

     

    Johns played Diane Chambers mother in an episode of Cheers so that's two cheers characters who have lost an on-screen parent in just over a month.

    The Tourist series 2. Tbh I don't think the Irish tourist industry will be especially thankful for this series. I'm sure there are normal people somewhere in Ireland but they're nowhere to be seen on this. 

    I was persuaded to watch this as everyone said how good the first series was. It's terrible. 

     

    Was series 1 better or do I just not get it?

    Has anyone watched The Traitors before and is it worth watching S2?

    I haven't seen it before but going to give series 2 a go to see what all the fuss is about.

     

    Mind you, I did the same with The Tourist and that was shit.

     

    Edit - I enjoyed it for the most part. I have a phobia of owls though so had to close my eyes whenever it was screen. Is that in every episode?

    My sister's youngest and his fiancee have made me a Great Uncle for the 4th time, their first contribution to my expanding collection.

    My suggestion of 'Cholet' was declined, not for the first time.

    I became a great aunt for the 4th time in the summer. I am not sharing the name his parents chose, but Cholet would have been preferable.

    Not sure if this is the right thread, but just found out one of my old primary school teachers died last month. I'm quite sad about it really as he was a good bloke and I have fond memories of him. 

    I was actually back home when his funeral was on, but didn't know otherwise I would have gone.

    I got 13, with a couple of guesses.  Slipped up on Perry (never watched Friends) and Darling (never taken much interest in politics).

    Also 13. I got the Betty Boothroyd and Alistair Darling ones wrong. I had lucky guesses with The Smiths and Sinead O'Connor questions.
