You all think I'm going to mention Dr Who or The Avengers, but no, he was the voice of this guy: And this guy: So, sad loss imo.

Only per poster. Checked emails last night - 32 new email notifications from Deathlist. tbh my first thought "Oh fuck, what have I done now?"

FUCK! I've been sitting on that one for the Windy Pool!

We're gonna need a new icon for Drol.

Sister of ex- Dr Who showrunner Dennis Spooner? Born 4 years apart in Tottenham by looks of it. Calling Dr @Cat O'Falk.

Yes.

That new ITV The Comedy Years is on Episode 3, but watching Episode 1 there and noted some aging comics and comedy writers showing up. James Bolams aged a fair bit since his Cbeebies run a few years ago, and Eric Chappell (writer of Rising Damp for the non-Willz's out there) looked ready to keel over at any moment. Also pictured are Cannon and Ball, and Bernie Clifton.

Polly Higgins has died. RIP. Banana and Rad share points. DI and Spade extend leads and can now scout each other out. And Reptile has... probably put Pedro to bed now. Round 3 1. The Mad Hatter vs Boudicca 0-0 2. Rad vs Banana 12-13 3. John Key vs Death Impends 0-21 4. The Quim Reaper vs Book 3-0 5. Gcreptile vs Pedro 9-0 6. Chorizo vs Torva Messor 3-3 7. Bibliogryphon vs Spade Cooley 0-17 8. Deadsox vs Clorox 0-16

That's a shame, I was a big fan of his as a kid: Round 3 1. The Mad Hatter vs Boudicca 0-0 2. Rad vs Banana 9-10 3. John Key vs Death Impends 0-18 4. The Quim Reaper vs Book 3-0 5. Gcreptile vs Pedro 6-0 6. Chorizo vs Torva Messor 3-3 7. Bibliogryphon vs Spade Cooley 0-14 8. Deadsox vs Clorox 0-16 Teams can be sent in for Round 4 now.

A reminder that my 2014 DDP survivor, journalist Chris Moncrieff, is soon to be 88 and still with us. Highly obitable when he goes, and looked on his last legs after a 60 year career of heavy drinking back then. Although he still gives talks and semi-regular articles for the Northern Echo. True story about him, oft retold. He was chasing a story down in N Ireland in the early 80s, by which I mean boozing. The masked men come into the pub and announce the pub has a bomb set to go off in half an hour. Chris turns round and the entire pub has just emptied, but he thought: "Oh well, if the pubs exploding in 30 minutes, that's plenty of time for one more pint of Guinness." Asked later how he felt, he said "I was pissed off. The bomb didn't go off for another hour, there'd been time for two pints had I known!"

Hearing they've renamed that ward The Trolling Drol wing...

Of course, best newbie is decided by survival, but there's a very tight race for it this year.

Yes. Unique for Banana! Rad will be annoyed after cassing this joint. And so will I. A DDP miss - stats suggested he'd be OK till 2020. Anyhow, could be crucial to the slippery one. Geddit? Banana peel, slip? I'll get my coat... Round 3 1. The Mad Hatter vs Boudicca 0-0 2. Rad vs Banana 9-10 3. John Key vs Death Impends 0-14 4. The Quim Reaper vs Book 3-0 5. Gcreptile vs Pedro 6-0 6. Chorizo vs Torva Messor 3-3 7. Bibliogryphon vs Spade Cooley 0-14 8. Deadsox vs Clorox 0-16

Ignoring her carny methods for a moment, that's a huge name in popularising modern folklore gone.

Rather grim update on cult forum deadpool pick Jeanne Little here. Basically: bedridden, no longer able to talk or communicate, spoonfed. Probably not got long left tbh.

Course there's room. This lasts not much time, and anyone moaning too many DPs can just, you know, not join in. It's what I do when I run out of DP steam.

Yes, Boudicca has beaten The Young Willz Cleansheet Record, which now stands at 75 days. Pretty good for a Cup newcomer. You can all wish her congrates now before the inevitable Mad Hatter winner as we all jinx her. I was waiting for another update, but things seem a bit slow right now.

T-shirt and light fleece weather (circa 40C to -40C) I think you'll find, Bou.

From Chris Jericho's 2nd book, a friendly meeting with Hutch. Fucking loved Macca.

Ya think this is bad, you should have seen 2010. iirc entire days went past at one point without a single new post on this forum.

McDonnell has been having trouble walking, MRIs and stuff. Could be smokescreen but not the Labour frontbencher I most expect to do a John Smith (that'd be Abbott or Watson). Clarke is one to watch though. His drinking (more so since wife died) appears to be catching up with him, and in 2017 he had to step back from election campaigning for iirc multiple operations. I agree with Sean and Ulitzer, and don't think he'll live very far into his 80s. Any words on David Winnick of late?

Well there''s a 4 year gap between Ronald Atkins and Sir Patrick Duffy! But yeah, with thousands of clubs in the UK, the odds must be high there are other footballers out there, but at this point, so obscure we'll only ever hear about them if they threaten super-centenarian age.

Oh deer.

Former WWF wrestler The Berzerker arrested for DUI and public endangerment. One of those names I expect to show up at any time as DOA in this thread tbh.

Aww, sympathies with Maryport on the loss of a local legend.
