    She has been on my long list for a while but lack of evidence prevents her getting promoted over more vocal/visual candidates.

    The Generation Game

    OK if they don't obit in three months they have to add two names to the list.

    The Generation Game

    What I would suggest is that if people pick someone who doesn't obit within three months they have to make a new pick in that category. They gain no benefit but are still in the game. Otherwise no substitutes.

    In the airline lounge at Addis Ababa airport. It is looking like I am going to have to do three more trips here before the end of Jan. Better get used to it.

    Thoughts On The 2016 List

    The likelyhood to die I think. But the position after 15 are pretty messed up.How is Zsa Zsa more likely to die than, let's say Herman Wouk. Wouldn't he be more likely to die now, because he is older? It is not a simple algorithm based on age alone, there is also a degree of celebrity and how long they spent publically circling the drain.

    The Rocky Horror Picture Show

    It was a reprimand from a parody twitter account saying as so many talented people have died in 2016 why are we grieving for someone who is still alive. If it had been from Mr TC himself it would have been worth sharing otherwise it is just like someone on here expressing an opinion. In my defense the tweet had been retweeted by Eric Idle whose account is genuine.

    Post deleted. Too hasty to post. It is a parody account.

    I am flying back from my first trip to Africa today. I have been in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia. It has rained everyday I have been here which was unexpected but apparently Addis is much higher than most of Africa. However it has been warm though the local don't think so they have wondered why we are not cold when we turn up to meetings in shirts when they are wearing jumpers, scarves and jackets. I understanding things are warming up back in blighty.

    Derby Dead Pool 2016

    I have just completed my profiles for all my potential 2017 DDP picks that were not selected for the 2016 game (11/30) last year when I completed the same exercise Joy Wright promptly died. There are 11 people now who should be worried.

    Thoughts On The 2016 List

    It is two years ago todat that Lauren Baccall became the sixth hit for the 2014 Deathlist which went on to acheive a mediocre 10 deaths. The next death was 31 days later so we have until the middle of September to get ahead. There is still some low hanging fruit on the list but I have gone a fortnight without a hit on my 1000 name Longlist so we do seem to be in a death drought. We might get a deluge before the end.

    The Generation Game

    It looks as if it paid off to delay bedtime yesterday by almost two hours to finish updating my list. It must have been a matter of hours. There are reports that his family already believed Hanif Mohammad to be dead, but he was still breathing and had very low pulse.These false death reports entered the press about 12 hours ago. He seems to have died just a couple of hours later. There might a bit of news delay but I'm ..probably... on the safe side. Anyway, this game is not about the fastest deaths but about the "least slow" death. I mean, this compeititon could last decades. Hopefully at least one of is here when it finishes! If Shaun dies before the game ends is it Null and Void? However he is much younger than me so that is probably academic.

    Ideas And Possibilities For 2017

    I do hope he is OK. I saw him play Malvoilio at the RSC a few years ago and was surprised at how physical he was in the role. And he isn't even a Doctor Who pick on SHBD

    Ideas And Possibilities For 2017

    Really. I feel that if that episode last year was going to lead to anything she would be gone by now. We need some concrete information or we can always write our own National Enquirer article about her sad last days (all 2000 of them) Ok let`s look at the facts.Her aneurysm was clearly very serious and although reports are that she had made progress there is still no evidence that that is the case.I am aware she was not in a coma or anything but it was clearly a pretty serious issue.Furthermore she has smoked since she was about 9 years old I seem to recall reading and is known for having chain smoked pretty much since then.That is over 60 years worth of smoking.Even if she gave up after the aneurysm her chances of getting throat cancer lung cancer or emphysema must be pretty high.Furthermore if she carries on smoking she could easily have another anurysm/stroke and die.She hasnt been seen or heard of since she fell ill which leads me to conclude she probably hasn`t fully recovered.I just think that picking a chainsmoker in their 70`s who is incredibly famous and successful and has suffered a serious health setback is worth a shot on the list.I am not saying make her number 1 but between 45 and 50 would seem appropriate.Would be an embarrassing miss. I think we are just taking the lack of credible information in different ways. EDIT: just checked that I wasn't being a hypocrite she did not make the cut for my draft team but I have picked Peter Tork for no better reason.
