    Surely that means the end of the series. It wouldn't be the same without Nora Batty's tights? Don't bet on it though...

    A Joke

    I think you should combine the two: Woman goes to see a Doctor for tests. Doctor has the results. 'You ought to buy nappies in future' 'Oh, am I pregnant?' asks the woman. 'No, you've got Alzhiemer's' replies the Doc...

    No, it's a pigging disaster. But I've got no chance to do ANYTHING until Sunday - new 2009 entries, replacing Page, Papadopolous & Johnson, 2008 updates anything. Ah well, looks like I'll just have to cram it into one big DDP-fest & get no sleep. If Patrick Swayze dies before the 31st December, I really will have a breakdown.... Or if one of the leading contenders gets a DDP-winning hit right at the death!

    The Deathlist Howto

    See the front page. Here. Thanks a lot! That was really interesting. So this is one of the best years ever... I can't believe there was a year with a score of 0!! Can't wait for next years list. So who puts it together? The mods? Is there somebody with the last word if there is a disagreement? Sorry if these are really obvious questions... For some reason if you look over the previous years there's a mention of 10 hits being a record that is equalled but when I look at the years before that the most I can see is 9. Where is the phantom 10th hit?

    90 odd. Which is just about above average for this time. A few front-runners have entered already, but most will enter with a week or less to go. I would normally have updated for von Bulow last Sunday, but I was in Finland last weekend & in London this weekend, and it has thrown things like DDP right out of the window in terms of doing stuff. Then this, and flipping Papadopolous, so.. if I am lucky - and very lucky - I will do it Sunday, but I have a feeling it will be Monday by the time I can sort it out. Besides, there's a little concern from me about the setup for 2009 (the 1st year I'm doing it from scratch) so I'm trying to focus on that right now. But it WILL get done, I can assure you. Hmmm they're confident! This week has been why I wait till the last possible moment. McCann gone, in goes Page. Page gone in goes...well that'll be telling! Finland and London! You jet -setter! Last two days I've been in bed with flu. Caught up with some video programmes though and a rum bunch they are too: The Naked Civil Servant, Son of Man, Gimme Shelter and a documentary on Marty Feldman! I feel like Marcel Proust...

    I wondered why there hasn't been updates. There's been a few deaths, but I realised that you would be prioritising on entries. How many so far, OoO?
