Timmy Mallet is hilarious when you are 4 years old. Not younger, or any older, but specifically that age.

If he makes 2023, it's the greatest Pele comeback since the 1970 World Cup...

Lon Satton on my Oldies team this year apparently died 2 or 3 years ago. I say if they're big enough to have a decent sized role in a James Bond film, they're big enough to have their death mentioned by the fucking press. But that's just me...

^ @RadGuy made that joke to me a few weeks ago about someone else and I've stolen it like a bastard.

The Deathlist forum is currently telling me Benedict thread is HOT. The Deathlist forum software has terrible taste in men.

Was going to be a Oldies team pick for me next week. Sad loss.

Pope Francis says: (Note - Gooseberry posted this on the last page too.)

I thought he'd be a miss on January 1st and I still do.

Given we've got the former DDP host who brought in the first ban, that being Octopus and the ban on picking kids in 2008, then here's the FFBI ban co-hosts view. It was Reptile who wanted to boost the number of points for unique picks, and I was sceptical. I thought players would be annoyed by nitpicking changes. But Reptile (and Grim) were supportive of my push for a harsher FFBI ban than people were expecting, and so I in turn backed the 4 points for a unique pick. And I'll admit, I called the "fan reaction" utterly wrong, as it was mostly overjoyed at the move. It benefitted less the likes of Spade and Salmon trying to win, and more your Gooseberry Crumbles with their unique obscure notable knowledge. I do still like the Drop 40 bonus though, and if everyone on this forum is gaming it for their jokers, it's still more meritocratic than the unlucky 13th bonus, which was pot luck. I feel like if something was to change, it would be an increase in unique bonuses rather than anything else, and even so, I feel there has to be an upper limit on those.

No need to be so cruel to sharks.

The record for most lists sent for a Crowdsourced Deathlist is 38. We currently stand at 33, with 6 days left. Also, beginning to wish the Unabomber was called Ted Jones instead tbh...

God I hate Family Guy. And you can chalk the downfall in quality of The Simpsons to when they started trying to be like Family Guy. (Although, after much online fanfare, I've seen some of the more recent Simpsons episodes and, while its not 90s Simpsons level, which is genuinely on a list of all time great TV shows, it's pretty decent by modern TV standards. That Death Note piss take was incredibly well done.)

True (I'm the same with Meatloaf) but tbf I was looking for the specific riff to share, not their life story!

They did need a version to put on the radio!

If you know any of their songs, it'll be the riff that kicks in here. Otherwise, properly massive 90s band.

700 odd points as it stands in The Crowdsourced. Will have more subs than the German Navy.

Discounting family, the saddest celeb death for me was Cribbins, but I can understand THE icon in the world's biggest sport being huge for many. For me, he's going surrounded by his family, after living long enough to see the World Cup through to the final, and been aware enough earlier in the month to experience the worldwide love and admiration that came out when he was first hospitalised. There are much worse ways to go, as an old man.

Quick open the interesting threads then click read forum and avoid boring/conspiracy/Meghan/etc ones. Oh and that game about shagging which I assumed was a @Gooseberry Crumble thread on general principle!

Seen it. Now I may easily have missed some of these due to blink and you miss it, whisky or straight up crap memory. But those I didn't see you'd expect: Jack Dromey and other MPs Hardy Kruger Beryl Vertue Ivan reitman Jack smethurst Anna Karen William Hurt Ralph riach Nehemiah Persoff Andy Fletcher David Warner James lovelock Judith Durham Loretta Lynn David butler May need to rewatch later as surely Warner and Vertue were in there somewhere.

Happy to be wrong!
