    By-Election Bingo

    Michelle Thomson (SNP, Edinburgh West) has had the whip withdrawn after being questioned over property deals and is currently sitting as an independent. I think this is your first by-election of the 2015 parliament.

    Derby Dead Pool 2015

    Been a weird year for celebrity deaths in fairness. Especially considering the blistering speed a lot of teams started 2015 with in the DDP, I honestly though we were going to see 2013-esque scores from about five or six line-ups. Now it looks like the year will be decided on whether Martin Crowe makes it 365 not out.

    He's picked a fine time to leave us.

    Ideas And Possibilities For 2016

    Someone who's never spoken about here, possibly because you might have assumed he was already dead because he's not been on TV for ages, is David Bellamy. Anyone know how the 82-year-old grapenut grappler is doing?

    Congrats to our paisan cousins, Ingrao e finito.

    Darwin Awards

    Lot of the reports on the ground suggesting that the cause of the crush was a large number of roads being closed off so King Salman could travel in peace. Nice guy.

    Dead Pop Stars

    Yeah, Aslan are _big_ back in the Emerald Isle, up there with Tayto and 26+6 equalling 1.

    Dead Pop Stars

    Oft-discussed Christy Dignam says he's "living every day like it's his last" and his body is operating at about 2/3 right now. Would assume he sees out 2015 but something tells me there's not much more petrol left in the tank. If any of the DL committee have Irish roots he'd be a nice pick next year.

    Morrissey

    Enjoying the absolute shellacking Morrissey's DDP-tribute novel, List of the Lost, is getting in the press today.

    Yogi Berra

    He was America's David Coleman I think the more obvious comparison is 1954 World Cup-winning manager Sepp Herberger.

    Death By Selfie

    My personal favourite was the guy who found a gun lying around and thought it'd be a good idea to take a selfie while holding it: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/death-by-selfie-texas-teenager-deleon-alonso-smith-fatally-shoots-himself-neck-while-taking-photo-1518166

    Hang on a minute..... Dunno who's more anxious for the results of these scans, me or him. Kristoffer Travis ‏@RealKrisTravis 57m57 minutes ago Im basically in the hospital...... Had an operation. Not going to go into much detail here. Thanks everyone for kind words. Xx Kristoffer Travis ‏@RealKrisTravis 32m32 minutes ago I'm going to put this out there right now..... I won't ever be wrestling ever again. Gutted yes. But I have to accept this. Lots of love. X Any guesses? Can you go from remission to recurrence to death that quickly at 31?

    Does that leave us with any of Montgomery Clift's lovers still living?

    The Fringes Of Fame/family Of The Famous

    Tweeting again. She's tweeting a _lot_ and anyone with a bit of medical knowledge could probably pin down when exactly she'll be signing out. I think the current issue for her is some kind of infection, she's on meropenem and is worried about her C-Reactive Protein test results. Platelet count of 27 which I believe is "fucking awful".

    Clovis Acosta, Brazilian superfan best remembered for crying like a big baby in 2014 but was an integral part of all Brazil's WC campaigns since 1990, dead at 60.

    Could Taylforth be going for the double? Her current partner's prostate cancer may have spread.

    Drunk? Bored?? Psychopath???

    Did they pull up the forums and all? Did they read this thread and Spade Cooley's remark and then turn around their head and watch their colleague keeping suspiciously shtum? Sadly they just stuck to the main page. Weirdly enough our work filter blocks the DDP homepage, but not Pornhub.

    Gudrun Ure

    IMDb has her latest appearance to be in Casualty in 2009 Casualty is always a difficult one to call because it could be anytime from early ninties onwards. The episode was The Devil You Know, it was first broadcast on Saturday 28th November 2009 as Radio Times Genome confirms (although they can't spell her name right). lel

    Plus she had quite a decent stage career in the 1950s (including starring alongside Orson Welles in Othello), and The Stage does not miss a single death of that stripe. Good anecdotes from Wikipedia about that Othello production:
