Yeah, I did a double take when I realised he was 64. Compare him to the actually younger Brian Taylor, Taylor would pass for being 20 years older.

Damn, forgot entirely about Lucky, and iirc, I'm the one who posted the bloody death notice.

British endurance race cyclist Mike Hall killed in a race by a car.

Hahaha, no, as by picking Tails you are getting the advantage of pushing him towards Heads. Although, I have now committed to the check, and can confirm the following details tonight if there is a draw: Captain Chorizo will be Heads, Grim Up North will be Tails. Deadsox will be Tails, Pedro will be Heads. On the luck of the draw, you get your wish there, on the flip of the coin. Well, I suppose it was 50/50...

Switch or DDT vs Rad Guy or Bibliogryphon Roverandout or Gcreptile vs The Dead Cow or Death Impends Maryportfuncity or Spade Cooley vs Deadsox or Pedro67 Captain Chorizo or Grim Up North vs Heef or Garn2 Players in bold have teams in now. Sent out friendly reminders to the other folk, bar the one person who needs 3 hits in 14 and a bit hours to advance. Sorry, Rover! I also found Grim's team as the forum hadn't sent me a notification of its arrival. Must admit I also took a look at Gcreptile's squad and thought to myself: "Right, which of you lot are going to be dead within 24 hours then?"

I've got a coin, I'll flip to determine who is Heads and who is Tails, and then you get best of 5. Penalty shootout style. Unless the Reaper has other plans.

Rocky's not been here in a bit? Nicely slow week so if Richard Adams doesn't get in now... Shotton/Storey/one or two from the archives/finish on a bit of Foundations.

He will die after the 30th March 2017. There, all I need to do is be right for the next 8 hours and a bit, and I win this sweepstake.

1. Switch or DDT vs Rad Guy or Bibliogryhon 2. Roverandout or Gcreptile vs The Dead Cow or Death Impends 3. Maryportfuncity or Spade Cooley vs Deadsox or Pedro67 4. Captain Chorizo or Grim Up North vs Heef or Garn2 Teams in bold are already in. We will have 2 matches at least in the next round! (Yeah I know, the usual suspects hand in their teams late on. Just a round up of sorts) Given how close everything is, the masterlist might take a bit longer to put up, once I twig who is actually advancing. Usual rules apply though, if a Portenski or Dalton dies after the team was handed in, but before the masterlist goes up, you're safe.

Or he's drinking whisky somewhere.

Possible famous last words but I'd be less surprised to see Skinner go first, of the two. He has had cancer/heart issues in the past, and had some health issues a year or two back as well.

Well, now I'm just waiting for the shock Morano/Hamilton 31st March double hit and the subsequent "Better than Barcelona/PSG" T-shirts...

That'll be for next year as I feels it unfair on folk to change the rules now. (Specifically folk who might have had different results in the last round or what not.) It'll be getting changed for 2018, should we reach that point! I try to be fair about it. For example, gcreptile's Trinidadian historian (I forget the name), I'd never heard of, but clearly he had some renown of sorts before death as an academic. Whereas coma victim Joe Publics have no claims to fame whatsover.

Ah well, Life is debauched. After all, Marlene Dietrich was a damned fine actress who frequented Wiemar Germany drag clubs, once plotted to murder Hitler, drank like a newt, and was a promiscuous bisexual (allegedly seeing to both Gary Cooper and Greta Garbo, among many others). You know what that makes her? Fucking awesome, imo. Sorry, got completely distracted there...

Max von Sydow is in the new Star Wars? I hope its a Flash Gordon crossover.

No, just I feel that deadpools are best annual instead of twice yearly. Especially when the hosts personal workload just increased dramatically. However, if a hypothetical someone else was to, say, run a hypothetical summer into winter deadpool idea of theirs, I would support it wholeheartedly. Hint, hint, hint. PS Hypothetical of course. That's not you, Joey, in the specific case.

I think there might well be a second Deathlist Cup, if I'm spared myself of course. It'll be in 2018, however, as I am aware that one of our parish has an idea for a similar but different game in the second half of 2017.

The luck of the draw! Will say whoever crashes out here from Death Impends and The Dead Cow can consider themselves highly unlikely in the draw, as they'd have crushed everyone else bar gcreptile (and even then, possibly won).

Unlucky TDC, as I had completely forgotten DI had Sparks until you just reminded me. A unique hit too! Rad’s Die-monds in the Sky (Rad Guy) vs Bibliogryphon 1-0 The Dead Cow vs Tommy J’s Eleven to Heaven – Or Elsewhere for Nevin (Death Impends) 8-9 Heef vs Death Comes to Wembley (Garn2) 4-3 Maryportfuncity vs 101 Great Practical Jokes with Luciano Re Cecconi (Spade Cooley) 0-3 Captain Chorizo vs The GUN’11 (Grim Up North) 1-1 The Cooler Name (Switch) vs DDT 0-2 Deadsox vs Pedro67 0-0 Rover’s Rovers (Roverandout) vs “O” (gcreptile) 2-8

I don't think there's enough credible uniques in my team to properly challenge, to be honest.

February was fairly fast and frantic. March, much of a non-event after a few (currently pivotal) early hits. I wonder which one will turn out to be the outlier. We currently have 3 teams in for the Quarterfinals. Likely everyone's still got a shot (even if a faded one in some cases) with the exception of Rover at a guess. Sorry, Rover. In fact, none of those three are "currently" winning their games but all three wisely note they could with a single hit in the next 48 and a bit hours.

Well, long story short: If it goes well, the Tories reap the benefits and shape Britain in their image. If it goes badly, the Tories reap the benefits and shape Britain in their image.

Drink enough Irn Bru, it might act as a dye.

That chap was in his 20s, no? I thought Cat was older, more YW's age. No offence, YW or Cat.

I wouldn't be against BBC4 showing whatever of Q is still in the archives.
