Ah, this thread lately seems to be turning into the curse of death thread by accident.

Falkirk. A place Scottish people tell you to go to, when pissed off. "Get tae Falkirk!" At least, I assume that's what they're trying to say.

Apparently now I linger too much. Worry not, there shall be no ode to my family. Anyhow, it's just my imagination but I'll be free to decide on a tagline soon. After all... everybody else is doing it, so why can't I? (Christ, the Cranberries had far more hits than expected....)

Happy birthday! I'd ask if that made you the Father of the House, but then some sod would point out that's for continuous service, not age.

RIP General Tetchy Thread. It lasted... 32 minutes? Not bad going. It disappeared faster than the people in the background of pre-Purge photos of Stalin.

I stick to my promises!

20 days later, Joey might actually have gotten every prediction wrong bar one. Is it too soon for Rover to celebrate, on this prognostic form?

The Cup has a new hero! Since I wasn't sending my (if needed) Quarterfinal team to YWillz, on account of the 50% chance of facing YWillz in said Quaterfinals, the wonderful @Cat O'Falk has agreed to keep my team under wraps, and confirm that I haven't stolen any of your great picks in the next ten days. And on that note, I've locked in my team with Cat, so the submission period for Quarterfinal team is NOW OPEN.

Did he perhaps mean another Ivan Ivanov?

Burmese is still an in use (within the country) description for people from Mynamr/country formerly known as Burma, as apparently both names predate colonialism and stem from the name of the majority ethnic group in the country, the Bamar. Thought cool, so sharing.

No, I wouldn't say it qualify, sorry. And hah Grim, but true, even the most obscure pics have brought up fruitful obits in the past, like the chap who managed T. Rex.

Clint, Hackman, Connery, Duvall, etc will be on the list before long anyhow - need a new generation to replace Kirk's generation of Deathlist mainstays. Like how Eli Wallach and co replaced the Geilgud generation on the main list.

charon called that the charon couldn't even wait 10 seconds for me to finish typing.

I wish Channel 4 would actually release most of the After Darks online. Especially the one where Patricia Highsmith turns out to be a psychopath. PS I was thinking on their Iplayer but any sod with a YouTube account will do, this isn't a Deathray/Corrie thing.

Called it (or what will happen) ages ago, YWillz.

It is? Adding Mira Sorvino, Donald Trump and Topher Grace, all in their main headlines just now, to my shortlist then.

All valuable contributions to the human race, but I'll mostly remember him for his role as my great aunt.

Perhaps, though I suggest the chat goes here before poor old Handrejka has nightmares...

"I'm telling you, we need to ban plague mums from next year's DDP!" "But... there's no other candidates!"

I thought Ant was the taller one? I don't watch any of their shows though.

In retrospect, more of us should have taken more notice of that "he has advanced cancer but I'm talking him into alternative treatments" blog bit from his daughter.

He counts because I said he counts and this here thing ain't a democracy. Also, no, that doesn't count as an obit. Awaiting Bailey and Kleese obits.

He's the billionaire owner in Jurassic World.

Not a very popular man, even before his issues become widely known. Or so I hear.

I presumed it WAS in the Who thread! See, you bring up one 92 year old French comic actor...
