    Sid Waddell

    I held off on starting a thread for him in case he made the fatal 50, but he got away scot-free from that so fuck it, here goes nothing. If the mods can do the honours with the posts we have so far... Anyway, our man's back on the Twitter after falling silent for a while. He says he had a "blip" over Christmas but says he's feeling "magnifique" now. Prepare for more 140-character mundanities c+p'd into this thread as the year goes on.

    The Dead Of 2012

    Leveie Sans sounds like a great loss to us all.

    The 1st Death Of 2012

    I honestly don't know why I bother.

    Saif Al-Islam Gaddafi

    Perhaps the list of the dead could use fractions this year if Saif continues to be torn off a strip or taken down a peg, so to speak. Perhaps we can start adding bodyparts together to collect one whole dead person? We've already got Zsa Zsa's leg.

    Patrick Macnee

    Macnee is one of the few celebrities to have been raised by a lesbian couple. Him and 50 Cent.

    PD James

    I think this was based on my suggestion. I thought she was a man for ages as well. Plus she's a Tory peer, so fuck her.

    James Randi

    Nah, gonna raise an objection on that one: I remember Randi being on British TV all the time as a nipper back in the 80s, I'm sure he used to do Aspel and Wogan and shit. Plus his endless dedication to trolling Uri Geller, combined with his One Million Dollar Paranormal Challenge, means he's a legit celebrity. Not a "BREAKING NEWS CANCEL EASTENDERS" when he dies death, but he'll get a BBC obituary.

    Derby Dead Pool 2012

    Here's the final 20: Lynch, Lisa (joker) Armstrong, Val Barnett, Rex Bowers, Mary Carter, Gary Dokes, Michael Duff, Mickey Gibb, Robin Hawke, Hazel James, Etta Jardine, Cassandra Jaruzelski, Wojciech Marquesee, Mike Muniz, Faustino Sanoz Rosoman, Leonard Sanha, Malam Bacai Strathie, Lesley Walker, Andrew Woodhead, Chris Yoshida, Masao Lynch, Barnett, Jardine, Rosoman and Walker are all possible uniques. Also, anyone who picked Lee Evans: apparently his brain tumour is benign.
  12. Anyone want to take a punt on who'll take up the 48 non-Biggs/Dunn picks on the 2012 DL then? I'd not be surprised to see Robin Gibb take the top spot, pretty sure that Hitchens will get a run in the first team this season. PD James "feels" like a DeathList candidate as well.

    Who Should Be on the 2012 DeathList?

    Welp, the list has leaked. Numbers one and two are as to be expected really, 37 and 38 are interesting additions that I'm sure we can get some coverage on, 42 is someone who I'm surprised we don't already have a thread for and I'm stunned that 48 has never been picked for the list before. The DL should break double figures this year, definitely.

    Derby Dead Pool 2012

    Team sent. Former Preston North End chairman Maurice Lindsay was the last man cut from my line-up, so if previous form is anything to go by he'll be dead by March.

    Ideas And Possibilities For 2012

    For those of us following the brain tumour of baseball Hall of Famer Gary Carter, his daughter is thankfully posting reams of stuff detailing how he's currently doing over here.

    Who Should Be on the 2012 DeathList?

    Zohn will get the Daily Mail "cover any bullshit that happens in the US celebrity-sphere to get website hits" obit and might even get some chinstroke stuff in yr Guardian and Independen because of his charity work. He is in no way a DL candidate though, unless their two lean years have got them hungry for low-hanging fruit in 2012. I wanna see Chapman Pincher as a top 5 pick in 2012.

    Derby Dead Pool 2012

    It's the sole benefit of having a bunch of hacks as friends on Facebook. In between the repeated hawking of their own wares there's the occasional deathbed update.

    Derby Dead Pool 2012

    Well, that's every single possible combination of "months to live", "days to live", "battling pancreatic cancer" and "fight against a terminal illness" put through Google, and every single newspaper scoured for possible hints at which sportsmen have terminally ill parents that might cause them to miss games. My team's now complete. Four journalists in it, not that I'm bitter about my career path or anything.

    Cora Vaucaire

    I can never remember if this counts as an obituary? I suppose it technically does?

    Sid Waddell

    Does he look awful? He looked like a guy who'd been undergoing chemo for the past three months. I see...but did he look awful enough for a place on my DDP? I'm skeptical. I think he'll be OK personally, I've not even got him on my mid-list for my final 20. Nicholson's throwing nothing but nails out there right now.
