Just Googled Tipping Point. They made a game show based around Penny Falls?

Living in a city full of their work, I can name Greek Thomson, Rennie Mackintosh and Pugin and Pugin, none of which help in deadpool terms due to being dead a century or more ago.

My thoughts? Don't panic, Biblio! It sorts itself out over the year. I concur with the bit in bold, though I have never seen Tipping Point...

Yes, but Oscar "Growing old is shit, you're shit, I hate people and I build stuff to look like tits" Niemeyer had a sort of grumpy notoriety, whereas I,M, Pei is just a really old dude. Anyhow, iirc, someone once asked if Pei would get on the Deathlist and Grim or another of the Cmme laughed.

I aim to enter this before the deadline, when I have a moment.

This is clearly a topic to be decided by the organiser of the 2018 Derby Dead Pool, should there be one.

With all these folk getting their obits, Sasha better get his...

Its amusing in a way. Actual news story - however dubious - about Demme, ignored. Val Kilmer looks rough, dozens of DDP teams waste a pick.

He'll get a shitload of coverage. He's been a major figure in the casually politically aware lifetimes of pretty much everyone under the age of...45 or so, as VP, President, ex-President, chap on the Simpsons, dad of President, etc. Plus he's been around forever, and my vague recollection of Ford going is that he got lots of coverage, and that was before 24/7 news really took charge, and only 2 years after the Reagan one, as opposed to a whole 11 years since people last had a Presidential death.

Oh the winner will be some insipid ballad with a chorus about "war not being the answer", sung by a female from a Eastern European country that hasn't pissed off any in the last year. Someone like Serbia.

Well, then, I guess that Inquirer-esque story - I forget the site - about him being gravely ill with cancer last summer was true! Did any of us take notice of it for our deadpool teams?

I just don't see the issue about new threads - its a forum after all, and there isn't a ration on threads per month. Admittedly, I hate making new threads, and studiously try to avoid it, so hypocritical. However, Ethel, with the best will in the world, isn't really worthy of one. If Bobby had won in 1968, she'd have been First Lady and due one, but he got shot, she didn't, and them's the breaks. Threads for an individual should be for big names likely to appear on the Deathlist itself, like Johnny Hallyday, David Attenborough or Robert Hardy (his thread is only on Page 19 )...

As it stands, Kaye, Lakovic and Betts produce a younger "average death", yes.

Yes, like, err, Wales...

Hmmm.... Still, I expect his health care will be above the average...

Well, he is nearly 93 and suffering from pneumonia. That's dangerous for folk 30 years younger, let alone 93 and a history of recent underlying health issues.

QO for this game. So then: Death Impends fell behind but won, DDT fell behind but is now ahead, and now...Spade falls behind. What happens next? 1. DDT vs Rad’s Die-monds in the Sky (Rad Guy) 3-1 2. “O” (Gcreptile) vs William Henry Harrison Die-in-a-Month Squad (Death Impends) 2-16 3. 101 Great Practical Jokes with Luciano Re Cecconi (Spade Cooley) vs Deadsox 2-4 4. The GUN’11 (Grim Up North) vs Heef 6-6

Yes, another part of the FFBI rule which needs tweaked, tbh, but its 5 days left to nab another hit, Grim.

Sasha Lakovic joins the list of folk awaiting a QO - see also Stros and Iain Reid. Pivotal one, as it would give Deadsox the lead against Spade.

10 points on the DDP if the Daily Mail will oblige.

Tom Watsons majority is 9.7k. Perhaps it shouldn't have been the "Who'll be the Portillo?" game, Willz. It should have been the "which Labour MPs, if any, will actually hold their seat?" game.

When Gooseberry starts a thread on my gran, then I'll get worried... Threads are a meritocracy. Good ones last, crap ones fall to Page 37 like they deserve.

These things happen.

Because he posted about Richard O'Sullivan in the Richard O'Sullivan thread? geddit? Oh, ok, I'll get my coat...

Off topic post there, Maryport!
