I don't get it? Me neither. I'm guessing LCD means lowest common denominator? exactly thankfully you don't have a sister who is into that shit. In my research I have found that lowest common denominator means teenage girls because face it all the watch is crap but in movies and on TV even crap music My sister liked David Cassidy.

I can see us getting to 13 and then a couple going in early January just to spite us. Everyone keeps marvelling at Crowe's longevity so who knows, he might die tomorrow or he might be here this time next year with everyone scratching their heads. Likewise Kohl. And don't even get me started on Zsa Zsa. But there are, in total, 14 deathlisters aged 95 and over still alive, so surely at least another 1 or 2 of those might go (although gcreptile seems to have thrown a spanner into those works using poxy things like maths to tell us we've reached peak-age related death). The statistics show that this could all we would expect in a normal year but remember most events are distributed on a bell curve around a mean and for every poor year there should be a really good year so any we get now are pushing us into the region where probability says this would be a rare event (but not an impossible one). I think there are five that are serious contenders to go and every left field death will not diminish that number. I think the record is in sight but we might end up with a very thin Autumn. Exciting times.

I just brought a new LCD television. It only shows Jeremy Kyle, The X Factor and Big Brother

I guess you could also say the same about this tried for Nazi war crimes. Those accused are either dead or as close to death that would it be worth putting them on trial? But yes there is a lot of point to these allegations as it can potentially expose many more that were involved during that time and may still be involved in child prostitution. 216 of the 264 names involved in operation midland are dead. 48 people is still a lot to investigate and the route to the evidence will be through the activities of the deceased. 48 its almost a Deathlist full.

I have gone for Crowe after I said he would not be the 10th death. didn't expect it so quickly though.
-
i just dont think the " hes been on so long we shouldnt take him off" argument is the right one, to me, unless something drastically changes regarding his health in the next few months, i would seriously consider losing him for 2016 There was a lot of gbashing of teeth when he wasn't included in 2014. I think we keep him.

I prefer Blott on the Landscape

As an addition to this: personality tests. Seriously wtf do I need pysch evaluated before employment for? Looking at my colleagues I wonder on the effectiveness of such tests.

I cannot sit and watch a football match but I do spend quite a time pouring over the tables looking at the statistics. It also means I can hold a football conversation appearing knowledgeable (blagging)

So .. What Do You Watch On TV?
Bibliogryphon replied to Banshees Scream's topic in DeathList extra-curricular
Is it true that the BBC are going to launch a new show to see who can organise the best Funeral it is called The Great British Wake Off But Channel 4 might have beat them to it with Come Die With Me -
If we were to take NE advice and include someone like Cher, Michael Douglas or Alan Alda on the main list does mean that they might get the chance to challenge Clive Dunn for most appearances on the list before they die. If you are 90+ and making your debut then the chances of making more than 13 or 14 appearances is very slim (unlike Kirstie Alley)

Cilla's funeral should be a good opportunity to see the UK showbiz establishment at play. In particular who looks frail, who doesn't turn up and who had you completely forgotton about. I think they should show it live during an episode of Loose Women.

It would be a shock to discover the biggest gay pick up in seventies London was Ted Heath rather then Hampsted Heath.
-
I put him top in my Inverse deadpool so if he goes this year I am really stuffed. The two Chris's have scuppered my chances of retaining the title but if Jimmy went my current 6th place would be long gone.
-
I am not going to predict a date but I think he and Martin Crowe will go within a week of each other but these will not be the next hits for this year's list.
-
The most senior (by rank) MP who did not make the list was Nick Brown who is 14th by seniority in the House of Commons he was elected to Parliament in 1983 and is now 65 years old.

Was well enough to attend an open air book signing last Friday. There is a picture of him seated signing a book. If you look closely the inscription reads "To all my friends on the Deathlist, Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha. See y all again in 2016"

I had played Les Munro on my Deathrace team but I am still not over the finishing line.

With Cilla being from Liverpool will natural causes include drugs, stabbings and shootings?

Edward Heath is now being discussed with respect to historic child abuse allegations

Yesterday on Radio 4 they broadcast an episode of Echo Chamber where poets discuss their own work with Clive James looking back at his life in poetry. I didn't listen but he sounded very gravelly on the trailer. This should be available on I-Player for a while. Was this scheduled at the request of James?

reportedly dead Hakimullah Mehsud and his Successors
Bibliogryphon replied to time's topic in DeathList Forum
I'm not in DDP but what's to say they died in 2015?I'd bitch about it so best I'm not playing lol. That said, this is precisely why a DP shouldn't allow terrorists or other highly potential unsubstantiatable folks, which means terrorists :-) SC There will be no DDP points if the pick was already dead when the game began (non-hit). You pick someone who is missing on this list you take your own risk. -
Peter Arne was due to play Mr Range and his role went to the still living William Lucas. On the subject of Michael Grade I would invoke an anecdote by Richard O' Brien who during the Grade's reign at Channel 4 where The Crystal Maze was the most watched programme Grade would virtually ignore the creative team at events because he personally disliked the show. He does not seem to be a 'nice' man

Nope that would be a first.Except for all those thousands of years when there was no press, birth certificates, or the popular concept of "records".I beg to differ. The concept of longevity records is at least as old as The Holy Bible. But it would have been quite hard to challenge the record holder. 28 And the days of Zsa Zsa Gabor was a bloody long time by all accounts
