    Budget Household

    That's because most anything you cook yourself tastes better than shop stuff. Unless yer a shit cook of course. Even a "middle of the road but not poisoned anyone yet so calling it a success" like me notices the difference. Control the ingredients, timing, etc and what not.

    Crashing Companies

    Thought HMV had shut already. One in Glasgow I frequented was an empty shop last I passed by. Of course, FOPP get rid of the independents like Lost in Music, HMV gets rid of FOPP, online sales get rid of HMV. YWillz can add Tower Records somewhere into this mix. I know FOPP rose from the dead... Reminds me of What Everyone Wants (notes for Toast - What Every Woman Wants superstores, though they did change their name before I were born!) , which got sold to Philip Green and then shut. Now the old What Everyone Wants store on Argyle St is listed for demolition. Way of the world. Owners of the site "accidentally" let the building deteriorate. Anyhow, the biggest loss (bar the local small cinemas) was Woolworths. It's surprisingly difficult to get stamps, writing equipment, a few assorted bits and bobs and a low quality Pick n Mix all from the same store these days. Always something missing. Anyhow, I digress.

    Death Anniversary Thread

    Known in some circles as Doctor Who's very own Felix Faure.

    Israeli Targets

    Or you can start a thread and watch it last 32 minutes before getting secretly purged.

    Harvey 'Wank Stain' Weinstein

    Just picking a completely random thread to mention Dan Schneider has been axed by Nickelodeon.

    Sonia Gandhi

    Good thread. As one of the leading politicians in the 7th largest country in the world, and someone with a long history of ailments, she's certainly one to keep a closer eye on.

    Who does that make Pete Best in this then? Hewlett?

    Reality TV

    "some deadpoolers are terrified that her cancer has returned. Hollywood Gossip journalists tracked down top DDP player Shaun of the Dead, who said: "Get in there, you fucking dancer!"" PS Hollywood Gossip journalists also tried to get a comment from Sir Creep, but he doesn't do so many interviews since his retirement from Club Nacional in 2015.

    1. Jimmy Carter

    Looks better than John Bolton, for age, imo. Always struck me as a prime candidate to do a Jerome Rodale mid-TV interview one day.

    The Hare's Death Pool

    Someone I didn't even add to my prospective April Cup team as I thought it a tad early.

    The biggest money spinner since the Fab Four, this.

    Missing In Action

    Ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife. Actually, swap knife for "a fucking fork" and that sums up my kitchen half the time. No idea where they fuck off to. Anyhow, I digress.

    Wrestlers/actors

    C'mon Mastodon. You've got to get into the HOF before having the stereotypical big man wrestler's heart failure exit.

    Ideas And Possibilities For 2012

    Shame, Woof! was great. Look at the title of this thread, Joey, and the joke might come to you!

    The Deathlist Cup 2018

    Just beaten to it by YWillz but yep, it counts. Although I've only just learned that Game Developer stopped in 2013. I remember brushing it aside to nab copies of Gamesmaster. Anyhow, farewell Bernie, who I am told was the top dog in his particular field. Lots of sad geeks today. You were related to Sir Creep, yet he picks up point on you. He's likely about to present Gcreptile with a big Game Over screen, however. Also scoring, but a Bernie Bro or cousin (or so I presume) is Death Impends, who is now in a 1 point game with 5 days left. Death Impends vs Heef 9-10 Gcreptile vs Sir Creep 6-14 Joey Russ vs Grim Up North 6-6 Phantom of the Midway vs The Dead Cow 10-13 Sean vs Charon 0-0 Roverandout vs DDT 0-6 Captain Chorizo vs Young Willz 0-4 msc vs Deadsox 6-7 Hosts note - I picked the wrong month to drop De Koven! Deadsox will be cheering that foolishness.

    The Hare's Death Pool

    And as that's the online version of the former Game Developer magazine (remember that?), it counts for the Cup too. Good spot.

    37. Dick Cheney

    He was on my Not the List of the Missed theme team in 2017. Survived, of course.

    Political Frailty

    When the one person (that notable) has around ten different hospitalisations relating to their health, it's maybe time for that person to have their own thread, and all that information collated in the one place.

    The Deathlist Cup 2018

    Website about a festival, not a news source.

    George Alagiah

    Certain Deathlist candidate if he lives long enough for contention.

    The Fringes Of Fame/family Of The Famous

    BBC world news article on post September 11th cancers, name checks 3 dead firemen (related to it) from this month. No idea if they're on the DDP ala Ray Pfeifer.

    Death Anniversary Thread

    Apparently her producer was cracking jokes in her earpiece about the "bees" sound of the recording, having not twigged she'd moved onto an obit.
