    Ask A Deathlister

    Have you tried putting it into a new word document? Open a new document. One - Click on insert. Two - Click on object to get the menu. Three - Click on create from file. Four - Click on browse and select the corrupted file. Click on OK. Thanks that would be brilliant if it worked - unfortunately when I do it I get this message 'The program used to create this document is Word. That program is either not installed on your computer or it is not responding. To edit this object install Word or ensure that any dialog boxes in Word are closed.' And yet there are lots of other Word documents on my computer that I can open just fine?? Try right-clicking on the corrupted file icon and copy it. Open a new word document and then paste in it. Try right-clicking on the filename and opening it in wordpad - that might open it so you can at least read it, even if you lose all your colour-coding etc.

    The dead of 2016

    No shit Sherlock!!! Emerson was 71. At least they are dying in the right order. Does the same still apply to Dave Dee, Dozy Beaky, Mick and Tich? Yes, afaik, though according to Wikipedia, there have been 3 Beakys & 3 Micks, so things will get complicated when they start to go.

All were canonised in 1970 by Pope Paul VI. The sentence handed down to Ralph Sherwin and his friends by Lord Chief Justice Wray:

    Maybe, but it's worth remembering the underlying cause is a lot of celebrities ageing. Celebrities aren't going to suddenly stop ageing. I wouldn't be surprised if by 2019 one high profile death a day is considered normal with even the likes of McCartney and Mick Jagger being consigned to the end of news bulletins. Did you just post 'ageing'? Twice? If that's ok to the British, it's fucked. SC Do you have a problem with 'ageism' too?

    26?!? In 2001?? I'm no math genius but I'm an orator and will loudly decry BULLSHIT! He would have been 11. SC Struggling to see your point here. Unless.... You do realise that Red Marauder was the horse, not the jockey???

    Derby Dead Pool 2016

    I'll not be investigating the facts but last I looked, neither an aneurism nor falling down are unnatural. How many hundreds of thousands if not millions per year die after 'breaking their hip'? How do you think they broke that there hip? I should hope we aren't awarding points for falling as an unnatural event or act. I suppose choking would be unnatural under that definition.SC Its not 'natural' to die from falling down, otherwise I'd have been dead years ago. Similarly choking (though others are better qualified to comment on this than me).
