I'll try... all allegedly had a thing with Zsa Zsa Gabor? (Well I know Philip allegedly did, so that's my bit for spicing up the back histories of the other three...)

Yeah they are here, but to warn others, as seemingly perfectly normal tax returns they are fucking dull. I get bored enough struggling through my own returns each year as it is.

Have been told that the great Jean Marsh is now in much frailer heath after that stroke and also suffering a heart attack in recent years. She is also unable to reply to fan mail.

Hey if pro-wrestling, Jackie Stallone studying arses and Juliette Greco punching a Nazi in the face is dull that's your issue, not life...

I approve of this thread tbh. At the rate of nobodies having babies, Gooseberry is sure to knock me off the top row of most posts by Christmas.

About disasters, fires, floods and killer bees?

While we all appreciate you running at the thick brick wall so we don't have to, you may have to think of your own sanity soon enough.

It might be a tad hypocritical, but then David Attenborough is beloved in that very rare way that he could probably fart on the Queen and people would defend him. It's the Johnny Cash/Jane Fonda scale again. Johnny Cash spoke out against the Vietnam War, he was a much loved public figure so got leeway with any hypocritical elements in that. Jane Fonda wasn't, so didn't. David Attenborough is a much loved public figure so he gets leeway with any hypocritical elements in his public speaking. Jeremy Corbyn was widely seen as a cunt, so doesn't. Simple.

Lois Holden died days after this post, in May, but given events, it was somewhat missed.

Had the Whipple, turned down chemo as it would stop her writing. Told cancer will come back worse "within 2-5 years". One to watch, then.

Looking at September 2020, the use of the term "drought" is about to jump the shark.

I'm more impressed by Andre Maranne's continued indefatigability tbh.

Ah, I see someone is happy about my push last year to return the Herald as a QO. Am afraid to say my current attempts to get Mumsnet accepted as a DDP Qualifying Obit are being treated with far more scepticism by Reptile and Grim!

I did say "see" - Frenchy's playing hide and seek behind Gene's big head!

I couldn't even eat one liquorice, let alone a bag. Horrible stuff.

Oh eck, the weekend update gets bigger by the second! Err, I mean congratuations!

I like how in that photo you can clearly see six Hall of Famers... and Dino Bravo.

Well the file on entrants I think must have every living candidate as it has over 13, 000 celebs on it, and this year we have 487 teams so can only have 9740 different celebs at most. (And obviously don't, just see the Drop 40...) Ah ok, xls confuses me (I'm the words guy not the programmer) but it looks like 3396 different picks, of which 2322 are unique. The third question is beyond my knowledge.

First off, congrates. Second, 205th hit of 2020 (confirmed). Here's the numbers to start keeping an eye on: > 2020 - 205 > 2019 - 253 > 2018 - 247 > 2017 - 254 > 2016 - 275 > 2015 - 239 > 2014 - 247 > 2013 - 219 2016 is the DDP record holder for most deaths and it reached 205th on the 28th September, so 2020 is currently 4 days ahead. These things don't have a pattern but I thought that'd interest the stats fans.

I hear the film's working title is The Most Famous Man in the World (Yes, Really, Willz).

Confirmed by his own twitter: Oddly the only man I can think of booked to win a WrestleMania match (ok a dark match) and lost it via legit screw up.

Man I'm going to look daft when "picked several times by me" Kurt Hamrin is actually last man standing from that final.

Teacher killed by cows

Wrote the sketch for Man Stroke Woman where the former gang member who went to uni bumps into his former leader (Nick Frost). "I can't, I've got a thesis to write." "What the fucking hell is that?" "It's a fucking... extended essay." He also wrote their chess sketch. I loved that show, it was shown at 4am after the nightclubs shut.
