Good work Joey. So, what you're saying is...if Vervoort and Stiles buck the odds, and Piddington goes, then it's on? PS SKS appears to be active again?

I was so convinced of his obit he'd have been on my 2019 DDP team if he'd made it (and indeed, my 2018 team if I'd found out 3 weeks earlier!). Only reason he wound up here is because I'd heard down the pipeline he didn't have long left. I had help. Did I give a "colleague said bit of work was delayed due to someone's health" hint a month or two ago? iirc I did, anyhow, it was Dabney. Ah here we go! And the answer to my conundrum was "Sir Creep"! Although technically me and DI went public on the Windy pool at roughly the same time. (Also, I had a list of 3 people I thought would know about it and go for it, in late January - ignore date misdirection - Sir Creep, Gcreptile and Death Impends! 2 out of 3 ain't bad.)

Neale Cooper, Aberdeen Cup Winners Cup winner under Fergie and later Ross County/Hartlepool/Peterhead manager, "fights for life" after collapsing in a stairwell.

Hey, sad night for Liverpool, but I know a guy called Francis whose just became Karius's biggest fan...

For lack of a better place to put it (and this thread did have navel gazing at one point! ).. While I was looking through my files for a lost document (no luck so far), I had a look about my old email address. Anyhow, looking around, I was surprised to see, autosaved to 29/12/2009, a DDP 2010 team I never bothered sending in! I had completely forgotten this existed. So, for the hell of it, the 2010 Pan Breed team that never got sent in. 1. Al-Megrahi (joker) 2. Jose Alencar 3. Richard Attenborough 4. Frederick Chiluba 5. Liz Dawn 6. Blake Edwards 7. Joao Havelange 8. Jack Klugman 9. Sir Patrick Moore 10. Chapman Pincher 11. Cyril Smith 12. Liz Smith 13. Gloria Stuart 14. Maggie Thatcher 15. Jeremy Thorpe 16. Gough Whitlam 17. Nicholas Winton 18. Norman Wisdom 19. Zelda Rubinstein 20. Simon MacCorkindale All gone now, of course. Amazing what you can do with a list of mostly really old people and a decade...

As long as its not RL Stine, I'm cool.

OK, anyone else suspect Drol regrets saying anything right about now?

Well, there goes the chances of seeing TMIB in the 2019 Deathlist Cup then, am guessing!

Well, she is a Lehrer fan!

Nightswimming, Monty Got a Raw Deal and the aforementioned Man on the Moon for me. Agreed, superb album.

The legend Ted gone, does he create a Deathlist Cup legend in his wake? Dead Cow v Sir Creep 4-7 DDT v Deadsox 7-0

Don't call it a comeback till the QO comes in, but David Shutts has died. Awaiting unique QO for Death Impends.

Mike Higgison died earlier in the month and didn't get the Australian obit I gambled on. I know, right? A dead Australian the Daily Mail didn't cover!

No, no, wrong idea Sir Creep, surely. Sean is 50% this week on "sods law" here with creating threads on DDP folk who promptly snuff it. So if he'd like to start threads on Philomena Lynott, Devin Lima, Pete Frates and Kathleen Blanco any hour now, that'd be much appreciated.

"And he knew, even as he was making it, that it was a catastrophic tactical error..." Brian Glanville claimed he was talking about Alf Ramsey subbing Bobby Charlton at 2-1 in the 1970 World Cup Quarterfinal, but clearly he meant my relegating Dean Francis to the B-team.

Some lovely sod has put Beryl's Last Year (rarely repeated by the Beeb) on YouTube. A documentary in which Beryl Bainbridge (a perfectly decent novelist imo, Another Part of the Wood is a remarkable tale of relationship breakdown) narrates her own personal deathlist of one, herself, in line for what she was convinced was her own final year on the planet. Spoiler alert - it wasn't.

Try the Crystal Palace website. .

Thought the new Fiorentina was def back in Europe within the 5 years, but went to check, it was 7. Memory cheats!

Speaking of Rangers, heard about UEFA's latest error (warning - big page of numbers in that link). New thing for Europe, 10 year rankings for coefficients instead of the old 5 year ones. Anyhow, they're counting old Rangers points from 2009-12 in as part of their new club. iirc when Fiorentina went back into Europe, treated as entirely new club, no old ranking points.

Hardly going to figure on next years list, though, is he? Or indeed, any of our lists. Just points for Garn and Grim's 400 different teams all the same, when he goes this autumn.

No option for "it's not my marriage/family/friends, I don't give a shit"?

Get Clive Cussler to a medical check up quick just in case.

EDIT - Posted in wrong thread related idiocy.

Eden spent most of his Premiership up to the gills in amphetamines after botched surgery iirc. Also last 25 years Major, Blair, Brown, Cameron, May -not exactly a golden age of leadership there. Looking at those lists, the times had Lord North as worst (which is reasonable enough), Parris goes for Brown and McIntyre for Chamberlain (which denotes a degree of bias on their parts imo) and Riddell goes for Viscount Goderich, a complete historical non-entity. I'd err towards Lord North, but then we've had 240 odd years to assess his unleashing Americans on the world (), whereas David Camerons flaws are still relatively new, historically. Plenty of time for that reputation to plummet in the future! Really, there's far more mediocre or forgettable ones. And I don't know what it says that I could name all 45 US Presidents, but struggle on 20 or so UK PMs. Probably that we get bombarded by US history.

Like putting a big Batman Logo in the sky for Charon! Here he is btw. SOuness not charon.
