99.9% of Oscar winners more than 2 people have heard of get the QO. We'll see how far the well goes when Stacy Title (nominee, Wiki) dies...

Always recycle bad jokes, I say!

Gave interview to The Oldie in March, paywall busted here. Not much new, but since one of us thinks she died off radar...

According to The New Statesman, James Lovelock is recovering from a lengthy spell of pneumonia.

I just did a search on Cooper Clarke, found this thread, is all.

John Ericson who plays the hotel clark was alive as of 2015 so presumably would obit given CV if dead imo. PS Great film. I needn't wonder of my fave (Eagle Has Landed, honest) - Sutherland, Caine, Marsh, Agutter, Standing, etc etc all a long way from qualifying for this thread!

Rear Window easily in my top ten favourite films. Great cast, sets and some of Hitchcocks best camera work. The latter sounds pseudy, but feck it, creative/imaginative framing/tone/etc is as much a joy of cinema as the acting imo.

My point exactly!

As good a place to share this piece on a future DL pick, the great Geoffrey Palmer. 92, still traveling and able to reject scripts because they're shite, he sounds like he's in no hurry to leave us. Also, Jurgen Habermas turns 90, still gives lectures.

Memory a bit better, physical health considerably better than 2015, thanks. [Although saying that always feels like a jinx in waiting! Hah] Famous? No, not really.

New series. Again St Nicholas sounds OK* but doing the advanced age thing of slurring words together. However, I note that last years Just a Minute wasn't a solitary case, with 2019 public appearances cancelled "due to ill health". Time for him to return to the list in 2020, imo. *Actually, bloody brilliant given most folk his age!

A 2 for 1 of sorts. Robert Evans, famed Hollywood producer (Chinatown, Marathon Man), studio exec and coke smuggler, 'retired' by Paramount after 52 years and "in frail health". Apparently promised a job for life by Forum Fave Sumner Redstone, whose health is now so poor these sorts of rulings can be ignored...

Stacy Keach, 78, gets Hollywood Walk of Fame star. Another for the "they've aged" file:

Wont be feeling fein then!

His middle name was Abra, probably.

To be 100% accurate and defend Willz: Willz said: 17. L Brooks Patterson - I'd rather you didn't. County Councillor springs to mind, and although there's the Supreme Court case, looks like he was a minor player. If you insist, I can't see how I can oppose it though!  And I replied: Shall axe LBP, worry not! Can't mind how Sir Creep knows, but tbh a "Was advised against Patterson in the Poker game" type comment somewhere wouldn't surprise me. Been a long fucking Summer! Although no QO so far, so bullet dodged?

Well that's me fucked on about 3 or 4 counts! I'm all for allowing guests to post again, just need an active mod to delete the spam attacks as and when. The actual DL threads were livelier with every passing sod making a hilarious shite pronouncement. At least discussion might ensue rather than "Happy birthday, tumbleweed, happy birthday, tumbleweed, dead" then some randomer going "Never heard of this guy in Kuwait, dull pick". S'why everyone jumped on the Perez de Cuellar meme, because it was a bit of levity and not dry stats. Oh, and it'd help if anytime a bit of a joke bursts out on the forum the mods don't immediately delete all the fucking posts. Fun police.

Watch out, Curse of Benidorm now attacking folk not even in the show. Stage IV glioblastoma plus blood clots plus tumour re-growth inside 3 days. This chap will struggle to make the starting line.

As (joint) oldest man in the UK, Alf would have been OK under the Cup's centenarian rules. Vicar of Ayr? That''s my 2020 joker!!!

The Doctor Who Appreciation Society bring up a short video of now 88 year old actor Cy Town: Guaranteed QO when he goes.

Not to say this was a longstanding case, Sir Creep, but I think the first time I heard Longthorne was gravely ill I was still at school!

Just noting what appears to be the very rare feat of leading the main DDP and the theme team league (after the death of Harley Race) at the same time. Enjoying this before the inevitable slide out of the top 10!

One of two positives to a sad loss - the other being a suitably epic obit by Spade on the DDP front page soon.

Depending on timing, then the last 3 DDP hosts have all wound up with girlfriends while hosting. An added job perk for any singles on here querying the role?

And so the biggest Cup to date ends! We've had surprises, we had thrillers, we have giant killing runs (kudos Bou!) but in the end, the 2019 Deathlist Cup goes to SPADE COOLEY! You may all congratulate him. And that's us done! Thanks for enjoying/enduring...
