It's an old English name. Geoffrey might might be related to Charles Boycott (from which we've taken the word) but I dunno.

11. Was first choice to be bassist in Metallica, but decided to stay loyal to Vince McMahon instead.

Try not to spoil all my future Crowdsourced puns in advance!

In further related news, I will not be dating Karen Gillan.

I tended to prefer to go to Wyndham and John Christopher for my post-apocalyptic British fiction.

Is that strange? I'm glad DI got the nod - he actually dealt with the gremlins which hit the site about 20 seconds later. Hmm, suspicious timing...

Stumbling across things is always the way to go about things. Why, just this weekend, I was surprised to learn that... well, never mind that, but the bigger shock was that they've never been picked for the DDP before!

He had a bit of a contretemps in the 1980s with Ursula le Guin about women's place in FSF, I vaguely recall. I've read one of his books years back: Hothouse. Impenetrable shite. RIP, though.

I do live with it, and yes, the services for it are fucking shite. I do hope Sinead O'Connor finds some peace with her demons. I still think she's a bit of a twat. Much like I wish Gazza peace, but he's a grade A twat too. As indeed am I.

Neil McNab suffers serious stroke, faces long recovery. Multiple strokes, even, and 60: one to watch.

... The older generation. There goes the last of my non-grey hairs.

The man, the myth, the legend.... Javier Perez de Cuellar!

Or he would be unable to go on his own?

Forgot I had picked him. Beyond one or two folk I mostly went for famous old folk, and they're winding up more frail than the terminal cases!

Her defence lawyer, Mr O Pistorius, knew a thing or two about getting off like that.

Yeah, if I were on @Shaun of the Dead's list I'd get my affairs in order ASAP!

Javier Perez etc.

Think of poor Colin Meads: he ain't overshadowing anyone.

The Day the Clown Died. Never got to use that on The Crowdsourced, then.

Yes, it's possible for all of us to croak before January. Those of us with brain tumours, more so.

I'd say so.

Word of God itself: On why Meads/LazyTown guy/Soares all missed out.

Australian Olympic cycling coach Gary West had MND. I only noticed in January (he announced it late last year) but as he was on no DDP teams this year, he sat on my list for 2018. Anyhow, scratch him off, as he's dead aged 57, and gets a Mail obit to boot. Annoying, but probably more annoying for him, tbh.

Aye, I mean, she was on my list (as seen in the Research thread), but I wound up not picking her for two reasons, one of which was the QO worry. So more power to DDT for holding firm on it.
