Windsor

If she is still going back and forth across the Atlantic I would imagine that she is not as frail as we think she is. Then again, DVT could easily kill her off at her age.

My team is also in. I'm not too sure I'll have much success due to the fact that candidates can't be too old, and can't have cancer. This basically leaves semi-elderly fatties and Ronnie Biggs .

That's the most rediculous thing I've heard in a while. His fans probably don't realise that what they have done goes against everything he stood for. You'd expect this from Americans, not Australians...

Who is in your Hall of Kings?

Being that the British Royal Family are also the Royal Family of Canada, do they qualify for the extra point?

So basically, except for the people mentioned in the rules and yourself, we have 4 days remaining to pick a team with such a complex points system? How fun. I suppose I could give it a go.

He has a U.K. obituary in the Guardian and the BBC Congratulations to the following teams Already Dead Bob Mugabe's Swingtime Band Diepod Shuffle Erm...Excuse Me...Aren't You...Dead? The Living End Windsor The Troll Excellent. Looks like Captain Oates and I are sharing 13th (unlucky for some) place.

Well Banshees, I knew he was going to die this year way back in December... Besides, a couple of pages back, don't you claim that the King will survive to make it to the 2007 list?

I can only say this: After such a long wait, he had bloody better get a UK obit!

Good for you, nerd.

Hay - Hay - Hay! removing the fun? I hope not! I like fun. Lets have more. MOORE FUN PLEASE Oh and OoO - doing a fine job mate - and should you really take the hump about those who say we are removing the fun feel free to delete those in-depth notes you so kindly posted (I've already got a printed out copy to mash into the seven hundred names in my spreadsheet) Ha-har! He-hee! What a bunch of nerds.

Oh, sorry I spoke. I only singled out OoO because it is generally regarded as his thread. I don't like this new wave of deathlisters and I'm pretty sure they don't like me. I'm also getting fed up of all their 'alter egos' who keep popping up. My ongoing arguements with most deathlisters has got me thinking, 'is it time to go?'. Perhaps I should stick to chat and only venture out for Birthday greetings and DL hits. Or maybe I should venture out into the real world and try and find one of those things people call, 'a life'. Na. I'll stick to being a general arse here.

I agree with you there as well. Coretta Scott King and Ibrahim Rugova are two DDP hits of mine that I learned of from this forum. I think the problem we have with the DL committee (ie. the admins (excluding Hein)) is that they don't read the forums regularly to get up to date information on candidates. TF, I agree with you on the subject of Brooke Astor. I think ,however, she does qualify because she first found fame in NY due to and her 'Astor' status. It's just that she got very old.

Tempus would only have 4/20 if deathlist rules were applied. Lillian Aspluid is only really famous because she lived long enough to out live over 1000 others. Maria de Caporila was the worlds oldest person as was Edith Ingamels. So Tempus is only marginally ahead of DL with something like 12/50 (my math isn't upto much).

The DDP though is limited to 20 selections, so FF's 8 out of 20 would equate to a DL hit rate of 20 out of 50, making 7 out of 50 look pretty poor. Apply the DL rules to your DDP. How many hits would you have?

I agree with Godot. This has long since been an unofficial DL rule. If you don't like it, you know where the door is. The DL is just a bit of fun. I think that people like Rotton Ali and OoO remove the fun by trying to make it into some sort of professional science of death.

Here is the bbc obit Ma><ine Edgington dies Maxine_Edgington surely. Isn't it time this silly censorship of Ma><ine is ended. What a pile of sh*t. Thats worse than 'Cancer Janes' claim to fame.

Sihanouk is back in China. His health problems have returned. This obviously was not planned as he has had to cancel a big engagement. So much for those Chinese doctors... Link

The only reason he is staying on is he wants to have 10 years under his belt before going. So he'll stick around until May.

Got on my RDP, sounds like he might last long enough to get to DDP 2007, but perhaps not much further than that. Of course, he could be taking a cue from Ronnie Biggs... Or perhaps he's pulling a Pinochet...

Those bastard chinese doctors cured Sihanouk so I think he may have a couple of years yet. Although I did read that he is back in China for follow up tests...

Happy Birthday Lady G. Hope you have a great day!

I read on teletext that Steve may get a State funeral. It depends on whether the family agree. Probably fair enough. He's the only world famous Austrailian around at the minute that I can think of this side of 2000.

? - Maryportfuncity i'll lay it down and say there is no competetion going on here. It wasn't that a couple of weeks ago Banshees. I've sustained my normal posting rate whereas yours has increased dramatically. Could it have something to do with posting what seemed to be one line of a poem per post in the moderater forum...

What, so I post a couple of times and I'm automatically challenging you? I really couldn't give a damn. If I did, you would know about it. Do get over yourself. Banshees is rather pissed off. He sees himself as losing to you.
