It's the Anti-Zorders!

Didn't Grosics the Hungary 54 final keeper die during the 2014 World Cup? Rosato who played in the 1970 final died the day Italy drew New Zealand in 2010, must have had a premonition and thought "sod this". Di Stefano did, but he never played at the World Cup.

Ah good, a thread about American politics and Trump. We really don't have enough of those! Joey, I'd like to suggest that if your advice is "Hey, Germany wasn't looking good when Hitler took over BUT SEVENTY YEARS LATER THINGS ARE BETTER", then it might not be as reassuring as you'd have hoped!

Monarchy, Bishop, paedophilia. This story is only missing Catholicism for DJL Bingo.

Best wishes, Drol. Your family really aren't having much luck at the moment.

Given I've had winter Olympians, weathermen, reality tv stars, footballers, authors, British politicians, and boxers, among others, rejected for not being famous, you can see why I didn't.

Is he the chap who wrote a book, I forget the name of it, about traveling to various bits of the UK and trying the food, as an American post-911? iirc the chapter in that book on Glasgow is spent entirely in a pub.

*looks around* It's always Glasgow day here.

Didn't think the Pan Breed favourite (RIP) would pass their candidate checks. Given some of my rejected names, pretty sure of it.

Aye but in a few days he'll rise from the grave. Just wait. Notes for non-Glaswegians: Lally was nicknamed Lazarus for his ability to rise from scandals that'd kill any other political career. EDIT - LOL, click on the link and that's mentioned in the second line.

iirc your points are OK, but the preamble clearly wasn't edited, sorry. And yes, mixed up To and Tv but caught it mid-calculation. I also spent too long wondering why I couldn't find Gcreptile on the scoreboard till I twigged Gc was Gooseberry!

To be fair, tinnitus, taste issues, headaches, toothache and balance issues are common symptoms of hayfever and/or dealing with a temperamental child, so I can see why he'd get them confused.

Now counting him as he has actually died. DDT takes a big lead in the early going - how will Sir Creep respond? FINAL DDT 8-0 Sir Creep 3rd place Dead Cow 0-0 Deadsox

Eva Marie Saint? (She won the Supporting Actress Oscar for On the Waterfront despite being leading actress in it.)

You did. But then you got 12 in 2017! Full list below...

4 down - in spots 4, 8, 9 and 10 - I'm proper brill at this game!

Aye, our local PO is a Smiths too. Otherwise it'd be a trip into town.

Sounds like the present! Most of the shops going are ones where you can get the stuff cheaper elsewhere: Toys R Us for example. Note Smiths have moved into travel and online and the profit from both is offsetting the high street losses. Currently they offer subscriptions online with home delivery - suspect within 5 years tops they'll offer individual mags with home delivery. Those that diversify survive, those that don't tend to get passed by. Anyhow, if House of Fraser goes, hope someone decent moves into the Glasgow building - it's a lovely bit of architecture indoors. Was in there once, to meet someone. Security thought I looked like a shoplifter. Not their usual clientele!

Whilst distinctly less impressive, Liam Miller was apparently my 50th DDP hit, and am now at 53. DI is of course around 65-70 range and has played one year less... A quick tot up of her scores has Toast on 72*, so likely to join the All Time list by end of the year. *Because she's a long standing player and still playing, but wasn't on the Stats list.

They're the pissed off cousins of chives.

Did Deathray get banned again? Who will tell us about snow now?

Forgetting the third - LFN broke the news on George Michael. Right as I was turning to the Beeb after returning from a family thing, I got as far as "Aye, good joke given this year.... bloody hell!"

STOP! IN THE NAME OF DEATH!* (Yeah, I know, it's what comes up when you Google Search for here too...) 6/50 6th June 2018 Lady Mary Wilson has sadly died at the young age of 102, to give The Crowdsourced Deathlist another success. This was her first appearance on the list, and she had been selected in 46th position. A poet and daughter of a minister, Mary Baldwin married Harold Wilson in 1940. For the next 55 years, she supported him through public life, be it politics, on-going rumours of an affair with his secretary, or a later period of extended ill health. In 1964, Harold became Prime Minister, making Mary the British equivalent of First Lady. She focused on her Private Eye diary () and her poetry, publishing collections in the 1970s which, while helped into being by her husband's job, were of much better quality than the witterings by some professional poets. She served as one of the Judges on the Man Booker Prize, awarding the 1976 prize to David Storey. Behind the scenes, she had a formidable reputation for holding the Labour party together during the 1970s. Truth be told, a warning Harold would get Mary involved was often enough to put the fear of God into any opponents! In the early 1980s, Harold was diagnosed with dementia, which swiftly took hold, and Mary looked after him (and stopped the press taking note of his strolls around Westminster) until his death in 1995. In the last two decades of her life, she spent much of her time in the Scilly Islands, for whom she was a popular publiciser, and having regular lunches with her alleged nemesis, Marcia Falkender. Mary Wilson hated politics, and though frail in her last decade of life, was still able to put the fear of God into a person with one Paddington Bear stare, as friends of mine have attested (having suffered it)! As a Bevanite member of the CND and principle backer of the Open University, her thoughts on New Labour never quite made print, for one reason or another... Msc editorial: I always had respect for Mary Wilson's protection of Harold during a long dementia, having seen relatives slowly decline to that horror disease. Plus, the on-going disdain to the Wilson years by the new Labour media made her an underdog figure of sorts too. So naturally, first name on the team sheet for my first few deadpools. I used to joke that if Clive Dunn was the Deathlist favourite then Lady Wilson was the Pan Breed favourite, but really, of all the people on all the lists I've ever submitted, she was the one I remained fondest of, as a person. She was a huge behind the scenes part of one of my favourite periods of a hobby horse - Labour party history as a larger part of British and Scottish social history as a whole - and her longevity added to the appeal. And now she's gone. Things just wont be the same on a personal level. RIP Mary. Carol Ann Duffy and Cherie Blair were just shit pretenders to the throne imo.

End of an era, this.

Deep Roy, the midget actor's midget actor imo.
