Thanks. Although I must admit I thought "I really need to get a life" was a perfect tag that anyone who suffered through one of my forum lists would agree with!

Thanks. Not sure where that came from - think I've been using this forum to procrastinate a hell of a lot in 2016...

Good to see you around Windsor. Your shadow list should certainly see at least hits, imo. EDIT - at least ten hits, although the typo raises a smile.

I think Billy Graham will be around for a while yet.

Sent in teams to the Deathrace, the Hartlepool, Death by Numbers and the Hares Pool. Just the Rotten Deadpool and the DDP to think about.

Team was sent in by PM and approved by YoungWillz last night. I'll post it after the deadline. Hoping to avoid the relegation zone as usual.

I've sent a team in by PM.

Did I ever do that List of Living World Cup managers I was planning? I might have got distracted... Anyhow, very brief interview with Ignacio Trelles, manager of the 1962 and 66 Mexico side, who turned 100 this year. I'd say a centenarian multiple world cup appearing manager would be a cert for a Guardian obit when he goes.

I'm writing it down for future reference. Isn't there an MP David Davies? I just fire random combinations of names throughout the year hoping for a hit. No other way to research this one I fear. It's what makes it a fun work in progress.SC (David Davis - Haltemprice & Howden - as per By-Election Bingo) There's David Davis - the more famous one - but there's also David Davies. And it's Welsh, so pronounced "Davis". Both from the same party. Not confusing at all...

Well, he wasn't going to be on my 2017 team, and now, he's not going to be on anyone's.

Not properly researching this year will probably see me finish way down the league next year, but I did find a nice potential 24 point joker. And he's not even a cancer dad either...

Dead. Reportedly. https://twitter.com/4JoshReed/status/813960444218081282 Gets told he's got 3-5 years, dead within 10 months. Man, that doctor was overoptimistic.

According to David Collings, Tom Baker is quite frail these days, sadly. Much loved? I keep getting the gut feeling about David Attenborough, I suppose he'd count in the national treasures category.

Right, I'm not very techy, as I've no doubt mentioned before, but... have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling it? That's what I do. And when it doesn't work, I swear and find a different version of the thing. Or ask a techy to fix it.

Ah, I see what you mean Paul. Three people in the chat, but only one person showing up in the chat. Although currently I can see The Dead Cow in the chat too, but couldn't get a message across. Which suggests whatever the fuck is up, its fixable? "Please wait while we load the chatroom..." - this anything to do with it? It used to load right into the conversation, now it just waits till you type.

Being entirely parochial, I liked Alan Rickman best.

Aye, but it does leave it open to a last minute tweaking of a team as soon as someone is announced as on life support with family being gathered. Damn, there goes my Deathrace plot...

Since I'm nice - it's here. Six hours. Still one of the most mental days I can remember on this forum.

Nope, do a search for "Who will be the 4th death of 2012"...

He made a statement to Rolling Stone (or they nicked it off his Facebook, I dunno).

Even the best brains can be wrong. Look at how many folk on here thought the Deathlist dropping Helmut Kohl was a fatal error in 2016. We're about 4 days off it being a tactical masterstroke. Valerie Harper too, but she doesn't seem close to death yet.

He also suffered a stroke a few years ago.If he dies after w017 I will buy everyone a drink at the 2018 Deathlist convention. I forgot the stroke. That's more ailments than Liz Taylor! And yeah, agreed, its 2017 or bust for him and the Deathlist.

Apparently Tony Booth has COPD now, alongside his heart failure, dementia, emphysema, and possible cancer. He's going for the full Bingo.

Likely returnees weren't folk I *want* on the list, it's just they always seem to come back time and again like Committee favourites, so I expect to see several of them in 2017.

I've sent a team in. Good luck to everyone.
