Good call, imo - though one of those who would have been Deathlist a decade ago... Is he def still alive though? Thought he might have gone off the radar. Admittedly I didn't look for much evidence.

One of those folk born looking 80 and thus never really aging.

You win! Might be association with your promotion of Gordie Howe as a candidate a few years back?

Insert Corpse A into Crematorium B.

14 years ago, the great Rikki Fulton died aged 79. He was very well known on this forum at the time, as you can see from this thread: Or not. Distinct lack of Scots on the forum in those days. Or Bergerac fans. Fulton was best known either for Frankie and Josie, a stage double act, or for Scotch and Wry, a long running BBC comedy sketch show, and made several appearances as permanently cheery Rev I M Jolly. Jolly introduced me as a wean to the black humour behind deadpooling with such gems as: "This year I have been to 320 funerals. Not in any official capacity, it's just a wee hobby of mine..." Outside of comedy, he had a memorable turn in cop show Bergerac, as a family entertainer who gets accused of raping a fan. And is actually guilty, but gets away with it. In 1983. Somewhat timely post-Yewtree. I wonder what they knew! Also not really of interest, my dad was one of the last people to see him alive. (Nothing sinister, dad worked in the ward Fulton died in.) He'd suffered from dementia then had a number of strokes in quick succession that zapped him, basically.

I think it's too early to call. I'll let you know in December.

He puts his left foot in (the hospital), his right foot out (the hospital), in out, shakes it all about...

He was on one of my lesser DDP teams (ie the theme team which wound up being a normal team because too many of the theme died!) last year. I agree he seems to be on the road out. Not on any of my teams this year - not even the AltObits - because I forgot about him.

^ I like how that is essentially 4 or 5 different complaints in about 40 words!

No. It's not as exciting as others paint it. Mentioned several times on this forum and no longer a unique pick either.

Well, I can at least guarantee one of 27 Deathlist forum members will win the Deathlist Cup!

Usually question makers have some background to their query, otherwise it's just AA Gill territory. Naturally the thread relies on who Gcreptile thinks are the top contenders for the DDP, but I'm sure if you asked nicely he'd put his maths to work on the 12 Lords/8 Ladies team.

Ah, see, thats because I "corrected" my spelling error before inflicting it on you. Or so I assumed!

On my shortlist since 2016, but obit chances seem non-existent.

Given last years poll essentially ended Spade 9-0 Bert, the early voting here might be the kiss of death for drol.

Is it?

Silly Joey, forgot David Quantick's Showbiz Pals! I voted for myself. This isn't a prediction!

You've joined the listaholics on here, charon, clearly: all downhill from there. PS The button on the reply bit next to the emoticons is bullet point list. Quite easy to hit by accident.

^ For newcomers to the story: If he'd got those unnatural bonus points AND the Linda Uttley obit hadn't been delayed over Christmas, he'd have won the 2009 DDP, you see.

Saw some of One Show on mute while waiting for the football. Vegans, some rubbish song, and an interview with Def Leppard. Oh and the smug comic who looks like Jack Swagger I can never remember the name of. I know the One Show is apparently meant to be awful, but that was quite something...

He was born looking 90 tbh.

Here is TMIB's ruling on such cases - before this, it was on a person to person basis rather than having a rule itself:

Youngest average yes. iirc the one time this came up in 2017, someone was screwed because they had Emma Morano on their team and you can't get much of a higher average than that!

Not a groupie (to the best of my knowledge!) and bigger than The Fall for sure.
