Not sure about his corporeal chances but as leader he'll get 2 years tops before being moved aside a la Ian Duncan Smith and replaced by a union-sympathetic "safe pair of hands" Alan Johnson. It'll be Johnson v Johnson in the GE 2020...

Ooh his name wasn`t in the title so not via this article however upon googling his name the Mirror`s headlines would have given you the points yes.It doesn`t matter how unknown the individual is , if one of the sources I have on the list publishes a story with the individuals name (first second or nickname) and the fact they are dead then they qualify for Death by numbers points. I like the cut of your jib; we could do a pint at a DLCon sometime. I'm guessing your off to google 50 right to die campaigners who've set dates for 2016... I don't think 50 of them exist in the public domain. Actually I've spent a mindfucking week Googling the most insane urban legends about The Beatles. I keep dropping into DL for a sane break from that lunacy. Any titbits?

Good spot. Because I cut and paste entries and overwrite them (you don't expect to write all of them individually do you?) I can often miss them. Theme Team has been tweaked as well because some of the descriptions of teams were jumbled up (v-lookup issues, Excel nerds!). Keep up the good spotting peeps!

That's strange, I thought I did put him in for some reason. Or maybe I thought I did, got distracted or something and then forgot! I'll append today's update tomorrow...

Cilla's death through accidental head injury activates the unnatural points bonus, so well done to those who picked her...

I don't think the Steptoe or Likely Lads films were that bad compared with the other sitcom films. Porridge isn't bad either... -
On the day I heard that stat, my pet redkneck on fb posted the 2014 total figure, 24. So 2 a month v over 100 a month. As Vincent Hanna once said to Edmund Blackadder: "A slight anomaly?"

Naked Civil Servant will get top billing IMO...

Not seen True Detectives but I'm getting an over-fussy title sequence vibe there... -
1/7th of John Terry's wages for just one week would probably be enough to help that ex-Chelsea legend...

Considering the rather camp nature of both subjects, there's the tantalising possibility of a match-up. Dusty Rhodes would have made a decent villain in JN-T era Who for example...

Latest pages are up. Many thanks to TUM for polishing off the celeb pics/bios. Page rate is past the 100,000 mark since Feb 2012! I need to get some sponsors in... There will be a bit of back office work in the next few months (updates/experiments etc) in preparation for the 20th anniversary in 2016...

Died of natural causes, yet slipped and fell and hit her head? Interesting use of the term... Depends. Quite likely she had a stroke, which caused her to fall. That's how my granddad went. Either way, there's no bonus points. If it's officially natural causes, then natural causes it is...

They haven't quite got the handle on the rules of succession, have they? Queen dies, Charles becomes King. It's quite simple, really... -
I reckon he'll go in the last knockings of 2015 (a la Bob Monkhouse)...
