I must be going mad... I thought he wasn't picked! I've sent out emails and everything saying he was a miss! Not sure if this is significant, but (assuming it was DDP) I didn't get an update. I sent out three batches of emails before I went to bed last night and planned to send the other three this morning. I'll explain the reasons for my cock up in the email... Bloody database. Bloody mobiles. Bloody Google... EDIT: On checking, the database is fine, it's when you add titles to names that it decides to jiggle it around. I may well consider removing 'Sirs' and 'Dames' and what not so as not be confusing to me and others...

The proudest one of all could be coming soon OoO...

I wonder if Zsa Zsa is being a bit of a drama queen, so I'm backing Garner...

I imagine cancer is a walk in the park after living with that bitch. meow! you're right of course!

...let's 'ave another (washes mouth out) Big Cyril was on the '89 list and, if memory serves, the '88 list too. Well that's 1, can you name the other 30 or so?

AAMAM vs William Hague's political career?

You are a twat Bloody 'ell LFN, that's damnation indeed if it's coming from Yvonne!

Shropshire Star: I remain to be convinced that he died in 2009... Hmmm. He's dead, honest Guv, he even got cremated 'an all... Do I detect a whiff of rat?

'ello...

Did it? He was probably one of the sickest picks of this years DeathList. I remember thinking justyesterday about how long it will be till he expires. It didn't really suprise me when i read he did. It's the context I think. What with DL's dry spell and that he was still commentating on the Tour De France a few weeks ago, led me to think he was OK for a bit. Drags me up the DDP table a fair bit. I was in joint 250th place!

Yes it does because the assumption was that he died last year! This suggests that he died in December/January though...it's not impossible that the Sun are confusing his actual date of death with the date his death was made public... Yes, I think you might be right. Local newspapers in Blackpool reported his death in April, where he died in Germany, but does not specify when.. Link So no points.... and more shocking 'churnalism' from Sun hacks whom I expect no better of!

I think it does too, as Grobler and Misers and We Spin Terror didn't have him... Is that the first time OoO's taken the lead? And with 4 months left, can he dream of the big prize? Ironic if he did win... Joint lead - Tempus Fugit had him as their joker. Edited for accuracy. Here we go. The mysterious one returns... So that's who Rot In Hell John is? No wonder he's doing so well. Well if the man himself confirms it, then the history bit would need adjusting... EDIT: It will need adjusting but not for John's A Legendary Doughnut, so that rules out TF (unless he did two teams, which is not beyond the realms of possibility)

Has to be Zsa Zsa...

I second that! I already expressed my feelings towards Fignon more specifically here. He certainly will be remembered as one of the greatest champions in cycling. I remember that final time trial of 1989's Tour de France well. With a few friends I was bobbing on the IJsselmeer in a 20' yacht, under a scorching sun on a windless day. The radio did a live broadcast of the stage. Theo Koomen couldn't have made it more exciting (Koomen, 1929 - 1984, was a Dutch radio sports commentator, who was able to report a goalless 2nd division footie draw as if it was the world cup final). Fignon's death is a hit for 35 DDP teams and two NDP teams, none of them mine. BTW: we did get to our destination Muiden eventually, using the yacht's diesel engine. regards, Hein For some reason, that reminds me of a short visit I made to the sleepy town of Wincanton in Somerset. I am not sure why your story about Muiden should remind me of Wincanton. Wincanton is landlocked, unvisitable by yacht and was approached by car, it wasn't scorching hot that day, the town has no links whatsoever with Laurent Fignon, I wasn't with friends and I wasn't even listening to the radio. But even so, I read your post and thought "Wincanton!". Strange. Sorry to waffle pointlessly. Alright I had him as my joker, but that came out of the blue somewhat! And there we were waiting for Zsa Zsa to pop it. Maybe there's still life to this edition of the Deathlist yet....

Nicholas Lyell, the former Attorney-General who was caught up in the Matrix Churchill scandal of the early/mid 90s, has died aged 71...

Yes for three: Ball Kicking Bucket Kickers Death Can Be Funny The Terry Fenwick Benefit Select Second XI

Confirmation in the Times. Maryport knew a year ago. And he was bang on...

An unsung hero of radio. Had he been Peel's producer into the 70s, would he have allowed the Pistols to do a session, as Walters infamously didn't?

Sterling Morrison of The Velvet Underground, died today in 1995...

Zsa Zsa on the way, plus an autumnal rush of four makes it 8 for the year IMO. Suppose DL were due a bad 'un...

Of Deathlist.net's debut triumph in 2004, just Biggs and Brady are left. Three left from Fallen Sparrow's win in 2005... (incidentially Fallen Sparrow would have garnered 84 points had the current scoring rules been used)

Hapgood's been on DDP lists since time immemorial! Jim Prior, hmmmm.... I bet you're thinking about your team for next year already DDT!
