Yeah, it'll be swept under the carpet and never happen.

A good spot, she's been ill from the Commons most of this year.

Probably for the best then, Shaun. Take care. Remember you can always go back later in life if need be.

National Inquirer did a 6 months to live story on Michael Jackson in January 2009. If you throw enough out there, you'll hit something eventually.

It was a while ago, but both OoO and Spade (iirc) thought that the clues led to the late Omar Sharif. Though one of those blind items "6 months left, cancer, untreatable" was revealed as Aretha once, and best I know, she's still with us.

Ah, deadsox, you've had an interesting Cup run to say the least: first round bye, second round goalless draw (I didn't even think that was possible!), and then in the Quarterfinals, beat the Don one on one. Curious how the two semifinals are both Favourite v Underdog (no offence intended to either), yet, given their achievements so far, you can't write off anyone.

You've managed to create more threads in just over a month than I have in 7 years! Redford feels like a future Deathlist name, yes, but not for a while yet, short of any major health news.

Aye, looks like she'll be rolling in the deep a bit longer.

Not a death, but the news of Krushchev being overthrown in the USSR broke during the 1964 general election night coverage. Iirc they have updates and discussions on it, and what it will mean to the "next government".

Record is DDT with 64, iirc.

31 points if you count Aspin! What's the record for a non-theme team?

I think Cameron-Blackie will obit but his other two are risky due to BBC local pages not counting anymore. I could do with Perez/Kobayashi/Singh living into 2018. The big four - Christie, Downie, Bracknell, Nevin - are all still breathing, which muddies the picture right now.

Hey, think of those of us who went for the kamikaze approach to the DDP this year. Three List of the Lost candidates already!

Savident appears in the opening of the Peter Davison Doctor Who story The Visitation. He was a recognisable character actor even then...

Semifinals DDT vs Deadsox William Henry Harrison Die-in-a-Month Squad (Death Impends) vs Heef DDT (Perez J, Nevin, Al-Baghdadi, Downie, Hodgkin S, Michael, Doggart, Goodwin, Van Zandvliet, Cameron-Blackie, Christie) Vs Deadsox (al-Baghdadi, Bracknell, B Camm, Christie, Emeteole, Meads, Michael, Nevin, Purchase, Ricketts, E Vorderman) Death Impends (Van Zandvliet, Meredith, Nevin, Michael, Noriega, Hagaman, Niederauer, Nuriddin, Chingaira, Dorie, Sinks) Vs Heef (Letele, Bracknell, Downie, J0hns0n, Anglin, Noriega, Nevin, Van Zandvliet, Bush Sr, Merrill, Klasnic) Oh, and the final draw....LOL DDT or Deadsox vs Death Impends or Heef!

AND THE WINDOW SLAMS SHUT! We have our Semifinalists. Commiserations to those who have crashed out, but congratulations to those in our Fab Four! Heef, the unheralded underdog cutting down seasoned deadpoolers in his wake. Deadsox, behind one of the biggest deadpool shocks of the century. Death Impends, who crushed one of the potential winners. DDT, aka the Grim Reaper himself. Like a Brazil 1994, conserving his energy to this point. Just give me a few mins to tot up DDT's team for the masterlist. He said he'd get it in, and true to form he did... a whole 65 seconds before the end of April!

As likely as a Sasha Lakovic. Grumble, grumble.

Don't count your chickens quite yet, DDT's yet to put a team in. He does tend to leave it till late in the day though, but you can live in hope he gets called away to an important lamb all night still...

Aye, thats very true. Thought I'd posted that dull reply an hour or so ago. Are there any other OBE awarded Grammy Award winning British artists of the 70s? Actually, given the Grammys, all of them, I'd assume!

To give the devil their due, the "how will you pay for this" question always annoys me when its asked of opposition parties. They don't have the budget books, so how the fuck would they know? Though many of them would get round this if they weren't all shit at debating beyond the talking points they memorized that morning.

I'm useless at the subtle clues, but I suspect we're on the same page anyhow.

Yeah, that's who I thought it was. There is another OBE'd Grammy Winning Star of the 70s with long standing rumours of course - but I'd give no quarter to it being them here, naturally.

Can't be that many British pop stars who toured SA in the 70s? And if "he's an OBE", then its thankfully (for my mum's sake) not who I immediately thought before clicking on the link. EDIT - Though actually, it could be, if they based their article off Wiki...

Sorry, forgot to post: DDT (3) or Rad (1) vs Spade (2) or Deadsox (4) Death Impends vs Heef (6) or Grim (6) Teams in bold are in, so yeah, Deadsox has a team in.
