Are heart attacks the new snoods?

Patty Andrews

Theme Team league is up...

10-in-a-row for Celtic then!

Curiously enough, his younger brother is on the DDP but he never was...

There's not much we can do. With these countries you seem to remove one set of murderers to let another set in. If Syria had oil, then something would be done...

You add Peter Walker to the list of the dead too... EDIT: Which I have done!

Actor Philip Madoc has died. Sad news.

I'm not annoyed or anything, I just find it ironic...

The guy had been battling with Parkinson's and Alzheimer's for years. He was 50. Professional wrestling, man... And for all that he wasn't one of the multitude of wrestler's picked for this year's DDP...

Franny "Look at his face, just look at his face" Lee says he has "fallen ill lately" Not the first time he's fallen, usually in the box..

Call me a cruel SOB of a dead pool runner, but I'm a bit pissed off that he's a DDP miss...

As long as your fixing mistakes, I just found a big one on my theme team. I put Ronald Washington on my team, but I said the Ron Washington who killed Jam Master Jay. Not the baseball manager. Sorry to give you more work TMIB, but there is a mistake in my team too (Grendel's Graveyard). I just had my first look at the site and somebody called Violet Wood appears on my list. I have never heard of this lady and I've checked the email I submitted with my team and I definitely didn't have her. I did pick Sid Waddell however and he doesn't appear. I have a feeling I may come to regret pointing this out as no doubt Wood will cark it this year and Waddell will still be with us on 1/1/2013. I am guessing TMIB hasn't read my post as he has replied to another post since mine in this thread and I still have some ancient old lady on my team. I have read your post and I have made the changes in the database, but the results on the website wont be seen until the coming week when the next batch of stiffs come along...

Noted. The Telegraph may burp out right-wing nonsense like some old bluff colonel but it's a godsend for us deadpoolers!

I kind of lean on Spade's side in this debate. It reminds me of a magnificent debate I had at University with my best mate's girlfriend on this very subject of what's working class and what's middle class and I'm pretty sure that Blue Peter and The Muppets were mentioned as admissible evidence (We also once had a debate about whether to call vaginas flaps or slits - you can't beat a good education!). Lots of WC people watch BP but it was made for the middle classes, undoubtedly. The BBC have been better but ITV had their moments too (Shelley, The Sweeney, Minder, Widows, Auf Wiedersehen, Pet, Kenny Everett's Video Show, Brideshead Revisited, Rising Damp) and in CITV terms too (Knightmare, Dramarama, Worzel Gummidge, Dangermouse, Fat Tulip's Garden, Educating Marmalade, Tiswas). TV was pretty good in those days. I actually don't like these dedicated children's channels because I think modern parents pander to children by having those channels on all the time and don't show them the real world enough. To me the 1980s which I grew up in really was much about IRA bombing campaigns, mass unemployment and the USSR than it was about Zammo and Rowland. Not to mention alternative comedy and wall-to-wall snooker...

Peter Halliday, who starred in "A for Andromeda" and later appeared in Doctor Who in the 1960s, 70s and 80s has died... "Well as I said, I'm paid to fight.."

Sort of holding out for them to get proper obits, so they're in a kind of netherworld of either Lost or "Found". If we get past the weekend and there's still no obit, then I'll consign them to the LOTL...

His funeral should be fun. I wonder how many gravestones his coffin will hit before he gets in the hole?

As long as your fixing mistakes, I just found a big one on my theme team. I put Ronald Washington on my team, but I said the Ron Washington who killed Jam Master Jay. Not the baseball manager. That's what happens when you separate team information from celeb researching. Saying that, the other Ron Washington sounds like a bit of a character!

There will be a couple more teams to add by the end of the week, after I had a couple of emails pointing out my error...that makes it 546!

Stuff Fergie, the true greatest manager in British football, Bob Paisley, died today in 1996...

What's six inches long and won't get sucked on St. Valentines day? Whitney Houston's crack pipe...

The scores should all be correct now...
