    Political Frailty

    One of Sean's old favorites, who is definitely a politician! Keith Vaz inquiry suspended due to Keith Vaz "medical reasons". According to a grumpy Tory, he's been claiming health issues for a while (though he last spoke in the House on December 11th, not that long ago).

    The Hare's Death Pool

    Most in danger is one of: 03. Robert Clary 04. Beverly Cleary 09. Reverend Billy Graham 12. Edgar Ray Killen 13. Jim Leavelle 14. Norman Lloyd 15. Ted Mack (Aus Politician) (WILDCARD) 16. Jerry Maren 19. Sumner Redstone 23. Ian St John 24. Mary Wilson, Baroness Wilson of Rievaulx Because I believe Death Impends is on for a hattrick of December 30th hits in this game. I support the demise of Edgar Ray Killen, because he's not very nice, and because no one has picked him on the Crowdsourced Deathlist...

    The Hare's Death Pool

    Yeah, you don't want Leslie Philips to die in the next 10 days now!

    Derby Dead Pool 2017

    I'm always legit surprised when a Nobel Prize winner doesn't pick up a QO, so Nicolaas Bloembergen.

    Political Frailty

    Although technically, once in the Lords and voting on bills, they become a politician by definition. Just not an elected one.

    Leah Bracknell

    According to Wiki, Zoe Tate came out in the early 90s, before that Anna Friel kiss. Prisoner predates both, of course. Though apparently the first lesbian kiss on British TV was from 1974 involving Alison Steadman?

    The 100 Club

    I absolutely welcome her to the 100 Club. Brilliant writer. I like how each of her last...6 or so books have basically said "this will probably be my last book".

    Crew Of USS Enterprise

    She was on my Deathrace team (for 2017!) as reports were she didn't have long left at New Year. A great pick, as you can see - the Deathrace having ended over 300 days ago.

    Authors Last A Long Time, But....

    One of those names I often felt like adding for a bit of variety to one of my deadpool entries but never found the space. F for Fake might star a down on his luck past his prime Orson Welles, but it is still a great film by anyone else's standards.

    Star Wars Deaths

    It's always a surprise, imo, to find out Denis Lawson is that young. He always seemed like a man pushing 70 in things for a decade or two! He was very good in an episode of Inside No 9 recently, much recommended. Leslie Schofield has the Star Wars/Blakes 7/Doctor Who hat trick to his name. Been in shitloads but not seen him in anything new in a while. Shane Rimmer was one of the Thunderbirds and wrote a number of Captain Scarlet episodes too. Still does a fair bit of voice acting. I know Harry Fielder (extra but his CV will get an obit) was ill a while ago.

    Leah Bracknell

    Aye, I'm all for as many DDP teams dropping her as possible but the Deathlist would be foolish to, given she reaches average survival length for her illness in March/April 2018.

    Art For Death's Sake

    Local council, who tried to demolish The Headington Shark, now considering giving it listed status. Hopefully if they decide to, they do it within the chap's lifetime.

    Derby Dead Pool 2017

    All they needed to do was add Sasha Lakovic to that list...
  14. Damian Green resigns. A sweepstake on what lives longer - Leah Bracknell's life or Theresa May's career - might be a close run thing now. Please nobody start that poll. Thanks.
  15. LOL. Just realised I'd noted down someone as being diagnosed with their illness in April 2017, not April 2015. *takes two years off their life expectancy* Also, while the local obits only (not the BBC sports page, I must be going blind) person is 100% off the team, another person I rated at 30% QO obit chances previously turns out to have had a few articles of late in The Telegraph. So that was nice.

    The 18th Death of 2017

    Which one are you?

    Confirmed in Mirror obit by dude who shows up to talk shit on WWE Network once a month.

    The Hare's Death Pool

    Ah but Joey, wait till the day you close in on a deadpool win. I remember my (only) one well, which I discovered through a confirmation PM from MPFC. My first thought? "He must have sent it to the wrong person!"

    The Hare's Death Pool

    I sense excitement/impatience.

    Voice Actors

    Also, because of the Hewlett (sp?) Rule?

    Evening Jtrost!

    Leah Bracknell

    Bullshitting herself, imo. Article doesn't say "this isn't my last Christmas", it says: ie she can't let herself admit she's dying.

    Hooroo, Mate.

    Not sure if people watched Flo Bjelke-Peterson as much as they kept an eye on her DDP points scoring husband, but she was mentioned a few times on here, and she is dead aged 97. List of the Missed from 2006!
