yawwwwwn Anyone remember when this site attracted mostly adults?

It is, it is and no.

I've a feeling some of those aircrew will be duplicates of the names on Commonwealth war graves site I linked to previously.

The composer of Duelling Banjos, Arthur Smith has died aged 93.

NO!!!! Just out of interest, I've checked and it would appear that the 200 most prolific posters (50 or more posts) have, between them, amassed a total of 172,038 posts. That's taken over 10 years. Rough calculation: 17,200 posts per year equates to 86 posts per year per person; but, approximately three-quarters of those no longer post regularly, if at all. So, if we say that there are 50 'active & prolific' users and they all post at the same average rate as the 200 have unto now, (roughly 86 posts/year) we'd achieve 4,301 posts in a year. Even if all the posts were in this thread, at one name per post it would take 232.5 years to reach a million. Even maryport would struggle with that rate of output. NB this is not a scientific hypothesis.

Herald of Free Enterprise took us to 828, 507, so Haiti victims are numbers 828,508 to 828,612, Osama is then 828,613. 828,615 Saddam Hussein

Your previous post (Tenerife crash) took us to 828,039; add the funny walkers, disregard the duplicate popes, these are 828,042 to 828,311 2 Alan Balls: 828,312 & 828,313 828314 Emlyn Hughes

You really are an irritating cunt. Irration leads to Tempus getting frayed, eh? oh aye, 827, 991: Alan Ball - he's dead, and famous. Both are dead and famous!

We've done the popes! (Back in the early days, the 600s)

I didn't think it was that shit, it just veered off from its stated aim, i.e. list 1,000,000 famous dead people, in the style of those count to a million threads on other fora. I considered the posting of links to off-site lists of not-really-famous people as not within the spirit of the game. However, its not necessary to close the thread - there's still over 200,000 to go! I've thought about it a few times, but as time mentioned, there are about 200,000 to go. I'm sure someone can find out the names of the people that died during the Spanish civil war or the Crimean war (The 19th century one) Falklands conflict etc. BTW, what happened to 765638? There's two 765628s.

765639 Peter Lawford

765628 Malcolm McLaren

I wouldn't classify him as a nutjob, but sailing solo across the Atlantic at age 75 doesn't seem the most sensible thing to do; however, Sir Robin Knox-Johnston plans exactly this.

Wasn't Tarquin Fin-tim-lin-bin-whin-bim-lim-bus-stop-F'tang-F'tang-Olé-Biscuitbarrel one of his? 765603 Roger Lloyd Pack
