This is why the Japanese government agreed to the abdication in...2019? They're hoping natural events will prevent them needing to create a precedent by then!

Might just be - hopefully - that the travel to London might be a bit much now. Or that someone well known for being "unable to deal with idiots well" perhaps shouldn't go to Comic Con?

Not so much a surprise he's gone, as that Jannetty has outlived another one somehow. Somers and Buddy Rose helped mentor Shawn and Marty when they broke into the AWA, iirc.

Has Harry actually ever had anything to do with Hewitt? As in seriously, jokes about parents aside.

Especially UKIP. This Kipper.. ... has a better chance of winning a constituency than the political party, imo.

Dont waste the Eurovision dosh on it though! Hah.

Former Grand Duke Jean of Luxemborug

Three Labour gains, YW? Blimey, you're optimistic.

So would Tom Watson in that case.

Suspect Alex Salmond, Cat Smith (who will appear on Newsnight soon after to call it an "incredible result for Labour"...), Liz Kendall, and Dame Margaret Beckett might be in trouble too. Just as options.

I misread that and was coming in here to say "no, coz precedent", but what do you know... it's a bit of a cheat, but under the rules, it counts! DDT vs Deadsox 0-2 William Henry Harrison Die-in-a-Month Squad (Death Impends) vs Heef 6-3 I feel like that wont be the last adjudication in a tightly contested tie before the end, somehow!

Jerry bowed far too fast, but the point stands: ta!

On my long list of unconfirmed Dr Who ages. (The list is somewhat dated in places.) Give it a few days, max, for confirmation or denial, it's being looked into.

In 2014, I was one of only four teams who went for (what I thought was a banker hit in) Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Of course, there was no Drop 40 bonus back then.

1. Wouldn't this count as a QO for Darren Sawchuk? It's Yahoo, which is a qualifying obit, and while its Canadian Yahoo, the rules don't specify British, and in fact, given FOX and CNN are used, imply Yahoo in general. You'll note its an obit with his name in the headline. A quick glance around the net gives a DOB as 1965. 2. Here is a Yahoo obit on Vicki Letele. I'll admit to being surprised there was no Associated Press obit for Paul McGill, or a CNN/FOX/Yahoo In Brief on Sasha Lakovic, so far...

When the Meadowside Granary was going to be demolished in Glasgow about a decade ago, they discovered thousands of rats in it. Response? Hire a few Yorkies. One or two Yorkies vs thousands of rats. The rats never stood a chance.

Song always reminds me of this Also, Dominos been on 9 lists over 20 years. Someone on the Cmme's a big fan of Raging Bull. And boring UN general secretaries...

Ok. Stewards inquiry held. The press I looked at on her death, last year and even for convinction in 2013 didn't refer to her sports career. However, the obit posted earlier above did reference, in one line, her sports career, which comes up in the second link Heef posted. The two news reports, coupled with social media posts from NZ sports types, confirm that Letele was known publicly locally (ie in New Zealand) before her illness and crime. I aim to be a fair and just referee in this Cup with regards to the Famous Only for Dying penalty, and so I concur, on the evidence and previous precedent, that the 2 points awarded to Heef for Vicki Letele should increase to the full complement of 3. Corrected scores... DDT vs Deadsox 0-2 William Henry Harrison Die-in-a-Month Squad (Death Impends) vs Heef 3-3

Jake Lamotta, the Raging Bull, has been on every single Deathlist since 2005. Thirteen straight years, and he still sort of flies under the radar.

Christie. I can see the trend appearing here.

Damn! What he needed was an etiquette lesson! One of the best Frasier episodes.

2013 and 2015 are shedding survivors at a remarkable rate, imo.

I had no foreknowledge either, just faith in the Reaper's scythe, as it were.

Ian Brady dead 9/50 15th May 2017 Serial killer child murderer Ian Brady has died. Good riddance.
