On the theme team front I'm fortunate(!) enough to be able to field my 2012 team '...and it's goodnight from him etc.' in its entirety, while on the 'Roger and Out' team, I only needed to replace the already-deceased Took; I opted for former Dallas Cowboy Roger Staubert, wilst also taking the opportunity to rest Roger Milla, bringing in Roger Etchegaray.

A man was killed when a car hit a tree.... between Deadmantree Hill....

Sent mine in yesterday (by PM). I think they were all still alive.

I went for Bush. stop sN-wording at the back.

He made my long-list but didn't make the cut. He won't last the year.

My main team was equal 488th, with no points for no hits. So was my first theme team. So was my second theme team. Needless to say, this was my worst performance ever.

Happy New Year everyone. I hope yours is half as good as I hope mine will be. (Actually I'd settle for mine being half as good as I hope it'll be)

Personally, I believe its up to you, as its your game. On the one hand, as the year hasn't started yet, its not as if they gain any advantage by submitting a little late, but on the other hand, rules is rules, and we all know where we'd be without any rules!

If it weren't for my policy of not feeding trolls I might well tell you to fuck off.

His lean, mean, fat-reducing grilling machines are crap too.

Wasn't it because of unwritten rule j203.a,subsection 22b, specifically designed to deal with the first death list in a leap year of a new millennium?

Hasn't this story been released about 4 months early? Though I suppose it'd be appropriate in the event the airport gets closed by a blizzard.

Surely the list is decided by now? Apart from bringing in a fringe player to replace Greig, that is.

My Festive Festering Fifteen: 1. Glen Campbell 2. Henry Kissinger 3. George Shultz (Joker) 4. Fidel Castro 5. Stan Lee 6. Helmut Schmidt 7. Nelson Mandela 8. Jerry Lewis 9. Sidney Poitier 10. Maximilian Schell 11. Fats Domino 12. BB King 13. Ray Harryhausen 14. Pierre Cardin 15. Jiroemon Kimura

Henri Strzelecki, the 'Henri' of the 'Henri Lloyd' clothing brand has died aged 87. He was, apparently, the first man to use velcro in clothing.

Too late to rescue Fontella Bass.

Maybe number 47?

I've been on an all-liquid diet since Christmas Eve, and I expect to be be around for new year. P.S. I am a few years younger.

If it was near the end of the game, that may explain it to a certain extent.

You score 10000000000 points if you spot someone posting about her in the wrong thread. I win.

Was this another Mayan 'prediction'?

no I won't I thought you were the inside man on thatcher ? Can't you slip something into her drink. Inside Thatcher? What a horrible thought!

Why do you care? I don't and I'm a member. I have more important things to care about.

£6.89? Are you a) A light smoker? b )Stupidly Rich? c) Stupid?

no I won't
