Bishop of Pagadian (in the Philippines) Bong Lunas, dead at 57.

So as the board's resident guinea, I'm always keen to check up on any potential DDP picks from the old country. I was doing a little googling for Pietro Ingrao, recently centenarianed Italian communist politician, and came across this site: http://dpseggi.altervista.org/DeathList/X2015.html Discuss.

Because if my husband was about to drop dead I wouldn't let myself be papped wearing a Santa hat and doing the Tesco shop.

By the look of gcreptile's teams, they exist to stop me getting any uniques.

See #35

Being the first comedian on an international version of Taskmaster to die would 100% guarantee a QO.

Daniel Hersl - corrupt Baltimore cop, as portrayed in the TV show We Own This City. Always a tad skeptical of terminal prostate cancer as a reason for a jail sentence to be commuted. Stanisław Dziwisz - last name dropped for me, Pope JP II's best mate and effective secretary. Hospitalized with respiratory complaint, only mentioned in Polish media. Did conduct a mass from his hospital bed though, so he can't be too fucked. George Lowe and Trevor Oakes - two names I found one reference to being ill online but nothing else enough to back it up. Lowe (the voice of Space Ghost) did have an aortic dissection earlier in the year and probably won't see the end of the decade. Oakes (from 70s chart-toppers Showaddywaddy) there's a photo of him out there looking like crap, but just wasn't enough to guarantee for me. Paul Britchford - founder of the We'll Met Again museum in Boston, England. Definitely dying but much too much of a QO risk, even though he has had some BBC coverage.

Think we need to give Banana their flowers (blossoms?) here. One of the biggest winning margins in history, and having the #1 and #2 teams (with completely different picks) for a while that late into the year, I'm saying Banana is now on the DDP Mount Rushmore.

Got a very, very faint belief that the "Downtown" remix is the first song I remember as a child.

Two strokes in addition to his cancer, lost vision in one eye, doctor says "the end is coming". Definitely think that's my first hit of the year.

2024's David Quantick's Showbiz Pals (originally sent without a team name to the DDP account): Johnnie Irwin (joker) Craig Maxwell David Elmore Smith Theo Burrell Rob Burrow Stuart Gray Dikembe Mutombo Brian Barczyk Jane McAlevey (best hope for a unique) Chuwit Kamolvisit Toby Keith Steve McMichael Jason Smith Michael Tilson Thomas Simon Cowell James Whale Frank Caprio Esther Rantzen Frank Field Jimmy Carter And for the theme outing: Cesar Romero's Orange Wedges (former guests of Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Podcast) Danny Bonaduce (joker) Roger Corman Bill Persky Barbara Feldon Shecky Greene (injured in the warmup, replaced by Bob Zmuda) Diane Ladd Robert Wagner Julie Newmar Paul Dooley John Astin Richard Lewis Leonard Maltin Dominic Chianese Joel Grey Peter Marshall Lee Grant Steve Binder John Amos Ronnie Schell Barbara Barrie

He's in the dementia business now, Vince. Definitely thread-worthy.

I've long been critical of the Committee for being out-of-touch and fogeyish, but I wasn't expecting 36 UK drill musicians on the list this year. Didn't know they kept up with the postcode wars.

Was part of my theme team for the 24 DDP, which I sent in around 25 minutes ago.

Distinct lack of journalists writing an "as 202x ends, here's what I've learned from living with stage 4 arse cancer" article this year.

Maude Apatow will be 28 in 2025 MC Ren will be 56 in 2025 1968 Olympic gold medallist Lee Evans will have been dead for four years in 2025

Probably got a back-up generator, so you might need to fly to Bangkok with a bucket of water.

And here's your Jim Breaks QO: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12906723/itv-wrestling-star-jim-cry-baby-breaks-dead.html

.

His prostate cancer has somehow improved from stage IV to stage II within the course of five days. Doesn't that make him some kinda of medical miracle?

Is this the best one-hit wonder post in DL history?

Was thinking that "some goober from Emmerdale and Doctor Who" isn't exactly the calibre of Xmas Day celebrity checkouts we've come to expect.

Reading through his X (formerly known as Twitter) feed to get a handle on his cancer, Patrick Murray has some of the weirdest politics known to man. It's 50% "woke snowflakes fuck off I'm going to eat bacon in a mosque" and 50% "lock Trump up, Biden2024".

Might be a generational thing, TOC presumably too young to have seen Men In Black at the cinemas and just knows Will Smith as the cuckold with a bald hotwife.

Mentioned enough times on the forum before for his mental health issues, car crashes, eating disorders and alleged meth addiction, so why not give him his own thread? Latest in the world of Aaron: his brother, Nick Carter, has taken out a restraining order against him. Aaron has responded by buying a gun. Of course their sister Leslie, whose attempts at following in her brothers' pop footsteps bombed, died of a drug overdose a few years ago.
