    The Deathlist Cup 2018

    You can if you want, though you need... 4 deaths in 2 days to advance at this point!

    The Deathlist Cup 2018

    I was using examples rather than specifics, but in that case, yes. Hey, DL Status Updates: Statements, Observations and Verbal Tennis for that kind of life upd... oh, right, I see. Well, depends what team Charon puts out.

    The Deathlist Cup 2018

    Second Round draw 1. Death Impends vs Heef 2. Gcreptile or John Key vs Deathray or Sir Creep 3. Joey Russ or Garn vs Grim Up North or Yorkshire Banker 4. Bibliogryphon or Phantom of the midway vs Pedro or The Dead Cow 5. Sean or Fixed Business vs charon or Maryportfuncity 6. Spade Cooley or Roverandout vs DDT 7. Captain Chorizo or Book vs Young willz or Engineer 8. msc or wormfarmer vs Deadsox (reigning champion) A reminder of the Round 2 draw, and teams in BOLD have been received. Though there is still 55 and a bit hours to send in a team. Hooray! I'm going to reach the Quarterfinals by default! De Fault, the two greatest words in the English language. (I know I'd get killed by Deadsox head to head and rightly so, but I'm more wary of a last minute sting in the tale from Wormfarmer. Robbie Rotten can hold off till March, right?)

    The Deathlist Cup 2018

    Sean, I'd expect 10 of your team to get a full broadsheet obit when they go! Safe as houses. The fame bar, I mean, not their respective health...

    The Deathlist Cup 2018

    Both Round 2 teams from that game in, now if one of you could score in the first round, ta? Also an editorial note. As I may be busy this week, at this point on: if you submit a DQ'd pick under FFBI only rules, I'll just sub them with your first sub. Given the lax fame rules AND obit rules, only fair, imo. Disallowed so far - People Who have died already ie Rev Billy Graham - Terminally ill mums with no other claim to fame ie Kate Ann thingymyjig from the papers today - Kids ie folk under the age of 18 - Father in laws of fringe celebrities ie Kevin mcAllister - Hairdressers ie I forget his name, he was Australian - Rabbis with no real fame bar illness - Her who runs the Women in Football thing.

    The Weather

    In the inhospitable landscape of Glasgow it was a wee bit windy. No sign of snow. Temperature still 3 degrees. I've already made the four Tops joke last week so you're all spared. Strangely, the council have gritted the pavements. I say strangely because they didn't the other week when it was actually frozen.

    The Deathlist Cup 2018

    The Deathlist Cup - that special opportunity to spend a week of your life wondering who the fuck some of the people on lists are and if they actually reach the fame requirements for the game! (I know who Jean of Luxembourg is, before any cheeky sods reply...)

    The Weather

    Need to put the above through a parent translator for Deathray: "She'd like to have a night to herself, for once, so c'mon the snow..."

    Boxing Clever?

    Didn't even last 24 hours on one Deathlist Cup team.
  10. Does look like a gas explosion, agreed? Although, away from the potential tragic bit, look at TJ's Takeaway, casually still open. Anyone fireman wanting a kebab (I googled them) is in luck there.

    What Kind Of Person Deadpools?

    No, as in Paul Bearer. He's Scottish, not Canadian.

    John McCain

    Pretty much.
  13. msc

    The Deathlist Cup 2018

    Aye, though as he's 10 points ahead with 4 days left, it'd take a series of unexpected events for that to come into play for the Cow now!

    Windy City Deadpool 2017-18

    Gcreptile picked him in the Easter Pool in 2017 (likely as a set up) so either you fell for a Rick Davies gambit, or you were trying to double bluff someone else and it sort of went wrong.

    Windy City Deadpool 2017-18

    With only Bracknell (everyone has her) and Charlotte Rae (too few points) left as likely, I can pretty much concede here, though. Those 240 point lost on two surprising non-QO-ers were killer.

    Kirk Douglas

    Think it's Norman Lloyd (born 1914)? There are older actresses though - Renee Simonot (Catherine Deneuve's mum) for one. She's not American of course, but she is living.

    George Bush Senior

    I think they're both going downhill rapidly. One wont last six months without the other, either.

    Lilianne Bettencourt

    So you are the anti-George Bush, and wish people would be less like the Waltons and more like The Simpsons?

    Cricket Thread. Only Mad Dogs And Englishmen

    I know very little about cricket, but the little I do surely tells me anyone who played for England will get a Times obit before too long.

    Cricket Thread. Only Mad Dogs And Englishmen

    It's not. A poem by Doggart about Insole was read at the service. No mention of Doggart being dead.

    That's a shame. She was good.

    Dead Pop Stars

    Eddy Amoo of The Real Thing dead aged 73, getting obits everywhere. BBC. Did a search, nowt came up.

    The Deathlist Cup 2018

    This was suggested last year and I said we'd cross the bridge if it came up. However, you chose to win within the 30 days. I do propose that a drawn final shall continue into July under the old golden goal rule. ie next death wins. Rubbish for football, good for deadpooling. Though, this will hopefully never need to happen.
