    That UK Election Thing

    Why does Danny Alexander remind me of Beaker from the Muppet Show? He's like the exact half-way point between Steve Davis and James Wade.

    A Famous Belgian

    Might be on a hunger strike, might just be dicking about. Still not been transferred to the Netherlands, still wants to die. Maybe he can just convince the Belgian government that he's Congolese and then they'll body him instantly?

    Jakarta? No, she went of her own accord.

    The Dead Of 2015

    Kevin Rosier, journeyman boxer/kickboxer/mixed artial artist dead at 53. Only of note because he competed at the inaugural UFC event back in 1993, making him the first veteran of that card to go to that great octagonal cage in the sky.

    Derby Dead Pool 2015

    The guy who runs the DDP does read the rest of the forum Willz, it's OK.

    World War II Veterans

    Died last year, wasn't posted at the time, only found out he was dead after reading about him elsewhere and googling because "that might be a decent DDP pick": Geoffrey Perry, born Horst Pinschewer, a German who joined the British Army in WW2 and was the man who shot Lord Haw Haw in the arse. He later went on to work in publishing and helped found "Family Circle" magazine.

    Not dead.

    Dunno, think those 16 kids with bullet holes in their abdomens might have been the start of that curse.

    She was also Paulie's aunt/mother in "The Sopranos" as well.

    Yeah, that's almost certainly right. tbh I clicked that link assuming that it would be another Raven writ. Ross Mc was down in OVW in around 2000 or so, file him alongside the aforementioned Ron Waterman and Scoot Andrews.

    Derby Dead Pool 2015

    Well, you've got Bloomfield/Crowe/Granger/Boggs plus points for Hill which should take you to circa 100. Thomas Jefferson (who is that on here again?) has Bloomfield/Crowe/Granger plus points for Hill and Trewin. So circa 110. DDT has Blazer/Bloomfield/Crowe/Villeneuve Sr plus points for Hill and Trewin. So circa 90. And rounding out the four, Golden Slumbers's certs would take them to circa 80. That's just going off the dead certs. All the teams have folk who may well die but I know sod all about them, the Christy Dignams and Clive Derby-Lewis's of the world. I think Dignam and CDL are both 90% likely to go this year: the former has just cancelled all forthcoming gigs and has been in hospital for week-long stays twice this year, the latter is a Chris Woodhead-esque "fucking hell surely he's got to die this year" punt.

    Haven't thought about Ross McCullough in 15 years. Would piss myself laughing if the man who finally brought down the McMahon empire was Sakoda though.

    Derby Dead Pool 2015

    Hoping we see at least one major record broken this year, wonder if we can have four teams score three-figures in a season?

    I'm going with May 29th then.

    The Fringes Of Fame/family Of The Famous

    Lauren Hill is dead. Go to the front desk to collect your points. Also we can now see what pun on "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill" TMIB has been sitting on since December 31st.

    Deadio Times

    He was doing shows recorded in his own home though, rather than in the studio, and from what I understand he hasn't been to a Derby County game this year (which for a sports reporter is pretty hard). Plus considering how he's not been making appearances in association with his charity and the fact that there's quite a few "prayers for Colin" tweets from local journos in the area right now, I'm guessing he doesn't make the end of the football season.

    Irate Visitors Rage Here, If You Must.

    Ali also played drums on Crazy Town's 2000 smash hit single "Butterfly".

    The Fringes Of Fame/family Of The Famous

    America's most famous sportswoman Lauren Hill gets another notch towards widespread obituaries after being awarded with the Pat Summit Award for Braveness by the US Basketball Writers Association. Presumably this means that Pat Summit herself may get the Daily Mail write-up when she finally goes.

    Tommy J Survives still gotta be the favourite at this point tbh.

    Beat you by one whole minute, bruv.

    From Cleric To Relic

    Robert H Schuller is finally dead. A few DDP big dogs will be eagerly awaiting the Daily Mail rewrite of that obit.

    The Beatles Death Curse

    Presumably John had one of those "Kill Bill" punches that only kills you 40 years after you strike the person.

    Ideas And Possibilities For 2016

    Dave "Devilfish" Ulliot, hero to many a student/unemployed layabout in the early 2000s because of "Late Night Poker", has colon cancer pretty bad. Not so much a "possibility for 2016" as a "possibility for the first week of April 2015".

    Derby Dead Pool 2015

    I'm amazed as you are MH, sadly in the UK unless you are a footballer or darts player, I think it less rather than more likely for a qualifying obit. (Ooh, darts players for next year...*makes note*). There are a few more categories: royalty, very old former prime ministers, Nobel Prize winners, ESC winners, Rutger Hauer. The problem with darts players is that the oldest and unhealthiest of the Dutch crop is RVB. Obit assured, but nowhere near death. Dunno, his PL performances this year suggest otherwise.
