Typical Celtic fan. Absolute scum of the earth.

Look at the timing between our posts. 12 hours ago when I posted those names, there were no obits for them. In fact, I even waited a while before posting their names on here. 12 hours later, obituaries started cropping up. I could have posted their deaths elsewhere but I'd have to start with "According to Wikipedia..." with no supporting source, so the best place for them is in here.

Update No. 3...

I have no doubt in my mind that the Queen will easily see this illness off and live for *at least* another 5 years. The big question on my mind is will this page overtake that of Zsa Zsa Gabor's in terms of the amount of posts?

Jopling was not in the Cabinet. He may have ATTENDED Cabinet meetings by invite or request of the PM, but he wasn't a Cabinet minister. Big difference.

BBC call it a "safe Labour seat". How is a 2000 majority a "safe seat"?

Ah yes! Sir David. 93 next year I see. Worth a punt perhaps?

What's the name of that absolutely ancient psephologist that the Beeb wheel out every time there's an election on? (Not John Curtice... I know he looks like a skeleton, but he isn't actually that old)

Mail Online trying to take the moral high ground... Pretty sure they published photos of ailing Zsa Zsa Gabor in her bed?

Peter Sallis on Xmas Eve

Kevin O'Morrison is listed as alive again. So, was it a hoax then? Lol... NO. That's not how Wikipedia works. If something is added and unsourced, it is supposed to be removed immediately. Particularly claims of death. A man on Twitter who claims to be the nephew of Kevin O'Morrison tweeted about it a few days back. I'm convinced he's dead. Whether it will be covered by any press remains to be seen. (think Sally Sweetland).

What's your source? The media would have made an issue of it by now. They'd have made an issue of an MP being absent for 2 months, never mind 7. The fact that they haven't tells us there's more to this than simply can't be bothered turning up. He was very active in the chamber at the start of the year then all of a sudden he stopped turning up.

Absolute rubbish. The Parliamentary Labour Party would be going mental at such an attitude. They'd force his resignation. MPs don't stay in the constituency because they "can't be arsed travelling". The media would have noticed. I imagine the *only* reason they haven't raised his absence by now is because they've gotten in touch with his office and discovered he's ill.

Fu Suqing, a Chinese woman who claimed to be born 1897 died back in September 2016. A quick search online reveals how ridiculously unbelievable gerontologists find this case. Evidently a liar. http://news.xinhuanet.com/local/2016-09/04/c_129268608.htm I mention her as she was picked in the DDP a few years back...

Yup that was me! Now that I'm here I will throw out a few other suggestions for other deadpool game's and the official deathlist Thelma Barlow British actress formerly Mavis Riley in Corrie The Duchess of Kent who seems on the frail side especially when compared to other senior royals like her Maj Joan Kennedy of the famous US political Dynasty Geoffrey Palmer British actor latterly "As time goes by" fame Labour MP Ronnie Campbell who recently had a stomach cancer diagnosis Labour MP Dennis Skinner - Surely ones health can only hold up for so long when your so angry?! What about Gerald Kaufman? Gerald Kaufman hasn't made an appearance in Parliament since mid-May. I suspect he's at death's door. DL should seriously consider including him. Not sure if DL has ever had a current MP featured before?

Anyone know if Mercy Rimell is still alive?

I think you could be right. Collins is in a right state. Would be a shock if both him and Ginger Baker make it to 2018. One of them has to give soon.

Then surely you're just entering a team for the sake of it rather than trying to actually get points? You've overlooked a lot of drummers who actually stand a decent chance of passing away next year... e.g. Roy Haynes

Dave Grohl?! Have I missed something?

Tom Mitchell is definitely still alive. There is no longer any ambiguity of former members being alive/maybe alive now that the UK Parliament have a list of living former MPs that is updated and republished every 6 months or so. Anyone can download it. http://researchbriefings.parliament.uk/ResearchBriefing/Summary/SN05324 You're welcome

Sir Dudley Smith, 90, former Tory MP and junior Minister in the Heath Government died today according to a recent edit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dudley_Smith
