General Election 2024?
DevonDeathTrip replied to maryportfuncity's topic in DeathList extra-curricular
A strange stat from the election - there is now only one Football League team -Bromley FC - based in a Conservative constituency. -
Norwegian cyclist Andre Drege, 25, has been died following a crash in today's stage of the Tour of Austria.

I see Cruella Braverman got back in. I'm sure she'll be there to help steady the ship during her party's wilderness years -
Just noticed that Phil Molloy, who plays Will Grundy, has now been on The Archers for 35 years. That's a fairly brief tenure for an Archers actor, but given he is still only 43 and has stated his intention to stay on the programme "until I die", then he may go on to break all sorts of acting longevity records.

I've only just heard about this I hardly watch any TV, but I loved the Deadliest Catch. I remember Nick breaking his nose when a crane hook hit him - he only took an hour off before returning to work.

The search heads into the hills... I think Mosley might have chosen a bigger island if he'd wanted to start a new life as a mountain man

Very good. I like most apocalyptic fact and fiction . Without getting too political, I do worry about Trump getting his hands on these toys again. I won't spoil it for you, but the 'Devils Scenario' which befalls California is particularly spine chilling.

I'm currently working my way through Annie Jacobson's cheery new book Nuclear War, A Scenario, which I wouldn't recommend to anyone of a nervous disposition. Anyway, Bill Clinton's Secretary of state William Perry, 96, was interviewed extensively for the book and is clearly still very alert, with a good recall for previous events. I just thought I'd mention that, as Perry is a perennial deadpool pick, but there never seems to be any news on how he's doing.

Well done @max_bossetti. I think that's a fair result and, even if my deceased puppeteer had scored me points, I hadn't done anything about getting a new team together, so would have been disqualified anyway. Will be back next year for more.

Sorry to start a new thread, I don't do it very often. Apart from Bobby Sands and his IRA buddies, has anyone actually successfully starved themselves to death in recent times? There seem to be an awful lot of attention seekers like Saddam Hussain, Ian Brady and that jailed Serbian Nationalist Leader (whose name temporarily escapes me) who do not finish what they started. I'm sure they'd get quicker results if they went on a breathing strike. And is force feeding still allowed in the UK?

Fed up with the lot of them. We need a massive redistribution of wealth, a complete replacement of the entire ruling order, an extremely long wall to line people up against and a firing squad with almost unlimited supplies of ammunition. That said, I'll probably be tacticaly voting Liberal Democrat -

Speared in the head with a broken broom handle apparently...

This is good news. I was worried more important things might have been happening in South Dakota.

Jan Nicolay, a pick for a couple of us, died yesterday. Incredibly, for one of the best known educators in Sioux City, she's not seeing much in the way of proper obit action yet. I understand she has one in the Dakota Free Press, but I can't get the website to load.

Peter Robb, who made headlines in 2009, after police with stun grenades attended his address in Dunedin to rescue a hapless German citizen he had met online and enticed under false pretences, has died. A reclusive character, it is reported Robb may have been dead for "some time" before his remains were discovered.

Cricket Thread. Only Mad Dogs And Englishmen
DevonDeathTrip replied to The Four Horsemen's topic in DeathList Forum
The forward was written by Peter Roebuck, who was evidently so inspired by the book, that he subsequently leapt to his death from a hotel window several years later. The book (I've got a copy too!) was originally titled "By Their Own Hand". -

More importantly, @Rotten Ali, great to see you! Please stick around, or come and visit us occasionally

Billionaire husband and wife Hans Kristian and Eva Rausing have both just been charged with possession of heroin and crack cocaine. According to this Daily Mail "exclusive", they're both caught in a downward spiral of chronic drug abuse.

@The Old Crem I have hidden your most recent post as, yet again, you have chosen to regurgitate a tweet and plaster it here with no context whatsoever. The tweet has no information about Sharon Osborne's health and you haven't even bothered to type anything which may indicate why it might be interesting. If you want to have another go, you're welcome. You seriously need to work on your quality control though!

I was thinking of coming with a deadpool theme team comprised of people with a surname beginning with Z. However I am struggling a bit, the only ones I've thought of so far are: Velimir Zajec - former Portsmouth manager, ill with motor neurone disease Efrem Zimbalist - Actor And that's it. Wikipedia has a massive list of live Zs, but I can't be bothered to trawl through all of it. I need more old and ill Zs. (Not dead Zs, they can go on the dead thread) any suggestions would be gratefully received If this goes the way of the last thread I started (about Fleetwood Mac) I'll be very disappointed.

Last minute sub Martin Jones scores for me.

Impressive how Remco Evenepoel, with less than a second's thinking time, managed to bunny hop over that ditch at around 40 mph before coming to grief.

Less of that please! We've had complaints.
