Probably just as well. Someone would say "tetchy" and the thread would die for months with people trying to work out which of us it was.

It's you picking them though! That's the last we need, immortal Nazis!

All spies are now Sergei Skripal, which, given he's likely fucked, is great news for those of you with George Blake in your DDP teams!

He got banned from Digital Spy for going on and on about the Corrie back catalogue? Digital Spy, where they talk about soap characters as if they were real people!

Yeah, and McCain/Jowell could easily be end of the year hits so no good for the Cup. (I've just cursed both...) Only surprise on that list is Charlotte Rae, tbh.

There IS and it has a big Corrie thread. Who'd have thought it? It's called Points of View and it's about TV, it'll do. The actual POV forum closed in 2008... according to Google.

Now I'm picturing this (with Deathray as Deathlist alumnus Casey Kasem): "Not all children are as fortunate as you are. Some of them have rant-a-thons.."

Never even noticed a report button before all this recent talk about it, and now it's right there as a big old tempting thing to press. Not because I care about any posts on here you see, it's the same with No Entry signs. Mind you, that is how I got lost in Glasgow Uni once. Anyhow, I digress.

Was in The Thread Formerly Known as Crashing Companies, now better known as The Unofficial All Things Deathray Thread.

I recall a lot of posts about Zorders and his general Zordersisms. Which is a dull topic.

Remember when the mods forum was public access for an hour? That was fun (well, I say fun - I mean dull). Must be time for a repeat...

Huguette Masson at 113. You live that long and aren't the oldest living Frenchie (Lucile Randon), top 10 oldest in the world or even in the top oldest living Europeans. Almost a bit of a waste, really.

This guy did.

I don't know anyone who buys The Sun, and yet it had an average of 1.6 million buys a day in 2017! So that's about £2.5 million a week before advertisers. Short term trends - let alone long - going against print press though. Nice graph on Wiki.

Indeed. At least, until somebody beats you.

That's the one TMIB handed over to Spade last Christmas?

Wrestling androids, mummy's (that look a bit like El Santo), and musketeers/centurions: my idea of wrestling heaven. There was a rumble few years ago in Preston where a wrestling moth entered the match, and then the heels turned the lights on and off to disorientate it for an easy elimination, but alas, otherwise mostly lost from the modern thing.

Got to feel for Pedro. He's picked him in all 3 rounds of the Deathlist Cup he's ever played, and now the sod's gone and died without him and became a List of the Missed alumnus.

He is Guardiany enough, but the problem with newspapers relying on one person to write all the obits in a particular field, as we've seen before, is that if that particular person is frightfully busy or otherwise not available, then the dead person remains in obit limbo... usually forever.

Also the mother in Escape into Night, a fairly good kids ghost mini-series from the early 70s.

Nah, I was deducting nearly everyone points for moaning. Including myself. Err, I mean, fixed.

tbh I intended to sod off for a bit, but told mrs Msc. She thought it was a brilliant idea, which made me change my mind immediately. Hi. Once a contrarian sod, always... Anyhow... EDIT - Ed Kennedy points deducted, due to obit painting his DOD as 28th February.

Aye, you're right. Says the slightly calmer head. Don't mind me - I'm a temperamental bastard at the best of times. OK, away for a few days for some fresh air (read - frightfully busy, also on heavy duty painkillers as I fucked up my shoulder AGAIN!), but shall appear towards the end of the week to award any points that need be. Given that going by today and last August, any time I take a short (work related, not huff! hah) break for a bit results in the Grim Reaper going FUCKING NUTS!

Look, fine, discuss the criteria with new Cup host Sir Creep or whoever you want. I'm away for a bit before my inner Kid starts to snap at folk.

Next person to moan (even in jest) about the rules or criteria is getting handed the bloody Cup to run.
