    I did see it when it was up. She'll do. Not used to the Doctor being a bit hot, though.

    She's in that scene, but gets electrocuted by a Cyberman. One of those "know the face" actresses who kept showing up in BBC Wales stuff.

  4. If you're into Fairport style folk, have you ever given the late Bert Jansch a listen? Was a friend of a friend, quite influential and respected in his day.

    Derby Dead Pool 2018

    Butts will def. obit because I dropped him, against the advice of Mrs msc who said he was a "cert for a Guardian or Newsbeat reference at the very least". Went to DDP site to mentally work out how many spots I'd moved up with Cappotelli's death, only to find Spade has already updated the table! Outstanding.
  8. Two of those I was convinced were making the list up to the last 2 voters edging them out. Whereas the other was voted on by only one person but I will leave you all in suspense as to who that was!
  9. They did, and with 600 names some things do slip through the cracks like that. There's a few deaths which were late in the year too, but on such small points nowt would have changed.

    Matt Cappotelli

    Could have been a contender. Weird to think that a mistimed chair shot by some goof in development probably gave him an extra decade ie it's when he got sent to hospital with concussion from that that the original cancer was discovered in 2005.

    The Dead of 2018

    Also, since I can't be arsed working out what thread to put it in, did a search and it didn't seem mentioned. Watching the ESPN doc Ceasefire Massacre about Ireland at the 94 World Cup and the Loughisland murders. Anyhow, Bill Flynn the business man who got Clinton to talk to Gerry Adams (and got him a US Visa), is one of the talking heads. Looked him up, and he actually died a few weeks ago. Here he is with 2 guys who might be future Deathlist hits one day:

    World Cup 2018

    “I’m not too happy about this but I forced my players to do what I said. We did not go for victory, but we just relied on the other match. I view that it was slightly regrettable but I suppose at that point that I didn’t have any other plans." - Japan manager. Funny in a way that they went through on the Fair Play Rule, for giving up, when Senegal have been ousted for essentially trying to win the games. No idea why Poland played along. As if they felt that was the only way they'd get a World Cup win. Wont be missed. No offence, Rad.

    World Cup 2018

    Not only that, but we've managed to get a Celtic fan, a Clyde fan (!!) and 2 Thistle fans, too. Barring Queens Park, the only 2 of the Glasgow clubs no to have any fans on here are the old Rangers and 2012 new Rangers. Probably feart of charon. I'll tell you why he put out the reserves. Because with a win or draw, England took on Japan then Brazil and Argentina/France/Portugal. With a loss, they take on Colombia, then one of Switzerland or Sweden. Now it's England, who are right shit at knock out football (3 wins in the last 13 tournaments, 6 in 26 since 1966!) so they probably wont do anything with it, but that's a gift horse of a draw that you'd expect any top nation to wheeze through. Colombia are tougher than Japan (and England, likely - def start as faves) but, barring murdering the useless Poles, haven't looked that good so far. You know, like drawing Iceland at the Euros, as France showed.

  19. Nah, that's when she's at her most psycho. She's already ranted and raved and destroyed most of his possessions and started a huge barny in the streets, and now after all that, she's trying the sweetness and light touch with a bit of the old "its me, not you, let's stay together" in that song. Nah, avoid like the plague, devious cunts like that. When someone's fighting, the Head over Feet bit is when you have to be on your guard. Hate fucking Alanis Morrissette. Mrs msc thinks she's great.
