Yep and good.

I'm terrible at these guessing games. Not the chap from Kinda?

Yeah he said the retrospective cap this year made him think he needed to be more active with charity runs despite "not being a spring chicken" or very active for his age. Which seems like a bit of an error in hindsight!

All the best, arghton. Kick it's arse.

I am young enough to be Willz son, Clorox is young enough to be my son. And so the forum pays back all my earlier age related gags at Willz expense.

Luckily being known by an old guy from Dagenham has never been a DDP prerequisite.

Counted as the ninth as you can be promoted from there to the top flight, it'd just take eight years at least. Threave were in the South of Scotland league (sixth tier) but shifted to West for an easier route. So far so backfiring. Anyhow, really obscure.

I was going to defend the fourth tier of Scottish football as notable, but this chap is actually from Threave Rovers, who currently play in the....9th tier of Scottish football. And are midtable there.

Looking at the demographics in the early voting, unless things turn round in a hurry I think it's going to be a pretty easy Trump win. That said I am disagreeing with the Lichtman keys, the Consumer Confidence Index and the Misery index here which all favour Harris.

Two of the contestants in the first Canadian season (not available on the BBC due to rights issues) had an affair and have appeared on another reality show since. This got aforementioned gossips hot, but rather the relative innocence of illicit shagging to the whole domestic abuse murder tragedy that's haunted the Finnish version.

Yeah, that one's a bit messy. She was in a lesbian relationship at the time of filming Traitors season 2, but met Maynard through another contestant on the show. Everything since seems to have blown up several relationships and some of the cast don't talk to each other anymore. This is the sort of thing we usually leave to the American z-listers (read also - far richer than either of us) on their version of The Traitors, many of whom seem to become enemies for life afterwards.

Chris Hoy terminally ill? Bloody hell.

BBC4 with Peter Davison and Christopher Timothy remembering All Creatures Great and Small, filmed earlier this year. Davison looks fine for 73, Timothy has been through the war with cancer of late.

Fergie in Glasgow this afternoon at the Celtic/Aberdeen game.

I did search the website to see if this was mentioned, but I've found this Instagram account which appears to legit be for Michael Godley, former actor turned artist. Sadly, it seems he died in January this year, aged 98, though he appears to have kept in good health and active until the very end.

It's complicated. He did put money in but earlier in his life he was sort of a union goon for hire with a habit of badly injuring folk so I know a fair number involved in the Hillsborough campaign who never forgave him for his earlier thuggery.

I was concerned that was actually me again but luckily that DDP bio predates my time doing them.

Few weeks ago @Death Impends told me Mitzi McCall had died and I said I used to mix her up with Mitzi Gaynor who was also dead only to be corrected. I was a few weeks early, clearly!

26 to date plus the Russian ripoff version. Plus regional varieties like the Quebec variant. Janne had made the final of the current Finnish season, that episode is now suspended indefinitely from broadcast. I'd heard the news yesterday through the Traitors fan community but assumed arghton would post a major Finnish death. Anyhow he seemed like a nice chap and he was very young, it's just horrific. Afaik first contestant to die. Some have vanished from the public eye but are almost certainly still alive like Angus McNicol.

Salmond was probably an exhibit for your theory as he didn't look after his health. John Smith had well documented heart issues he thought he had recovered from. Robin Cook was very unlucky, he'd possibly have survived the head injury or the heart attack but not both in the wilderness at the same time. There's also Sam Galbraith (turned down life saving surgery). But in the past we've stretched this to all labour politicians and included heart attacks while jogging, mesothelioma and the old favourite, drinking too much Polish absinthe in one meal! Usually the generation being looked at tended to be poorer in early life or vices ridden so let's see what happens to the Blair spad generation!

Aye and those health warnings are: don't ignore doctors advice after surgery, don't be an alcoholic and avoid stage 4 cancer. I actively try to avoid cancer when I see it walking down the street.

Beckley died of brain cancer (likely glioblastoma). The AIDS rumours come from Sheila Hancock who is prone to repeating unsubstantiated gossip. It was a sad one as he'd spent twenty years as a jobbing actor and the door to America had finally opened, he had more offers and was going to make serious money and then the headaches started.

BBC and Sky Arts have both done Cleo Laine tribute nights this year. Jimmy Carter Chomsky Starmer Smith James Whale One of Le Pen/Laine/Law/Brokaw Tebbit Flack OR Rantzen Think a chunk of those could still go before Hogmanay. Did you see that Brighton Bombing doc on the Beeb? No Tebbit whatsoever. imo, if Norman Tebbit isn't available to bemoan the IRA, then he really must be circling the drain!

There you go @Gooseberry Crumble - the usual tradition - I give you a list of people who could likely be the next likely DLer, and the actual person is someone I never mentioned. Happens every year.

If Agnetha makes it to next April all four of ABBA will have made 75.
