Yeah, no idea why.

I went camping with the school once. Broke my ankle. I'm with you on it!

Damn it, I thought of using that one last night but forgot.

Can't get bigger than Spade in deadpooling terms lately, really.

Doctor Who memorabilia. They knew she'd appreciate it.

Boasting about totally beating cancer, eh? *listens to Sir Creep's first rule of deadpooling* *adds Sir Creep to 2018 shortlist*

Mick Jagger's never done a "hey, my vices nearly totally killed me" front page spread, iirc.

Did he actually try to have kids, or did they just sort of turn up? The whole thing behind folk being selfish to have kids at X age is of course they'll die and the kid wont have a parent, but the flipside is that the kid wouldn't have existed in the first place.

Notes to self: if it comes back, he doesn't want chemo. Further note to self: if it comes back, he probably wont tell the press in advance.

Ah, in tribute to the headliner: I remember Hywel Bennett best from the Endless Night adaptation from 72. Agatha Christie wasn't a fan, and I couldn't understand why as I was watching it: it was keeping fairly faithful to the book. (Especially compared to recent ITV offerings...) Then, suddenly*, with 10 mins left, Britt Ekland takes all her clothes off! Poor old Hywel Bennett was somewhat overshadowed. *As suddenly as you can get for 70s film with Britt Ekland in it...

He should look on the bright side - better odds than pancreatic cancer!

Oh, Kim jong the current one. I mix up the North Korean leaders.

Need more men of knowledge on moving iron seats.

Whole things subjective, mind you. Take Claire Bloom. Rather old - 86 this year - but aged rather well, all things considered (at least she had last I saw!), and you can still sort of see why men went nuts over her in her youth, even if 50-60 years have passed. I dunno. Can't think of anyone. Diana Rigg isn't the Diana Rigg of the 1960s anymore, but she's 81, and that's better than living in a world without Diana Rigg in it.

For some reason, this reminds me of years ago, Channel 5 (I think) did a tribute to Judi Dench for her 70th. Lots and lots of pretentious Arty types talk about her "brave acting choices" and "gravitas" and all that rubbish they like to talk. Up comes Brian Blessed. "JUDI DENCH IS THE SEXIEST WOMAN I HAVE EVER MET" He roared, "AND SHE STILL DRIVES ME WILD WITH LUST! OH YES!"

Lots of people had the Chinese Nobel Prize winner. Apparently his name is spelt about 27 different ways in this thread.

Although I wouldn't call it a massive lead with the quality of teams directly below me, right now. Long way to go, yet.

If he goes next, you really could say the members of Cream are going in the wrong order. Wont make the Deathlist imo, he'll die before consideration.

Did he no have one before?

This means nothing to me... Nah, too obvious.

Twitter. Human League meant to play Lytham Festival tonight. Had to cancel last minute as member of band took seriously ill backstage. Folk whinging about not getting to see the band. Not much else as yet, but sounds like sudden massive heart attack, so in deadpool terms, the person will be dead by breakfast or survive it imo.

If he does go quickly here, it really would be the path of least resistance.

He was waiting for a spot on a deadpool team, when he met you.

I haven't a clue. But anyhow... January - Eugene Cernan (honorary: Clare Hollingworth, John Hurt) February - Err.... George "the animal" Steele March - Chuck Berry (honorary: Tommy Gemmell, Colin Dexter, McGuinness) April - Tim Pigot-Smith May - Roger Moore (honorary: John Noakes) June - Helmut Kohl (honorary: Peter Sallis, Adam West, Michael Bond, Gordon Wilson, Brian Cant) July - Lu Xiaobo (honorary: June Foray, Martin Landau)

Simon Doggart, 56, was head of the Caldicott school till it emerged earlier this year that he was beating up those in his charge. Anyhow he's dead and the name rang a bell. Turns out, @DevonDeathTrip picked him in the Deathlist Cup.
