More than we currently do?

Must admit to ignorance of all things Lucy Beale but he hit her on the head with a music box? Who is going to be the first to mash up a you-tube video alongside the Genesis classic....

Ahmed Givens provides points for Deadsox.

Twenty Lords A-Leaving - This would have been a good name for the list I posted in Political Frailty of those members of the Upper House who have been given leave of absence (sent home to die) Bish, Bash, Bosh: - A team of senior clergy, boxers, Germans and Geoffrey Durham

Not very unexpected....

I remember him from Fawlty Towers, I don't really remember him from Rentaghost even though I would watch that every week. I saw him at the RSC a couple of times. Very sad he is gone.

Ah, the Legend of the Lost List. Perhaps we could sneak that in the plot of DeathList, the Movie. regards, Hein We could always do what they did with the booker prize and compile the list retrospectively. Wow we got 50/50

But you do get all the best jobs and better pay.... ...oh wait. At least you get into clubs for free on a Friday night whereas us blokes have to pay. On average women live a few years longer than geezers. I don't know how much fun those years are, living with faulty plumbing. regards, Hein I can't remember the last time I went into a club - it was probably about 3 years ago. It was full of pissed-up, middle-aged, mutton-dressed-as-spam slags looking to get fingered in the park on the way home......oh wait..... Fingered? You are in Wiltshire Lardy, that's going to be 14 fingers and retro Casio digital special going elbows in there. Anyway, while we are on the "oh woe is me coz I is a wimmin" bollocks, a woman at work has just given birth to her second child. Now how long has she got off for that then? How about ELEVEN MONTHS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know that is way too short a time.

When can I have my points for Pamela Cundell?

Third hit from this list from last August with Beryl Platt dying. you missed out Philip Knights who died in December. you must keep up ! Thank you - whoever you are. I struggle to pay attention during the festive season. 5 have gone now. http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-31513192 Quarter of your list have died in just 6 months 1 At this rate, Jim Prior'll be a decent bet for the 2016 list if hes still alive. He is my DDP team joker so I would prefer 2015

Dad's Army Museum say so on their website. Is this enough for me to claim my Deathrace points? The Dad's Army Society suggest the news has come from Frank Williams and their source is being quoted on Wiki

The rom-com surely could be a Shallow Hal stylee job in which some slacker hell-bent on a clean sweep in the Rotten Dead Pool nails an early lead with a lucky snagging of aged celebs and a few who die in random accidents, at which point the only living person on his team is a Z-list reality TV bimbo down on her luck so far that she thinks she's in when he takes her out for coffee. A series of hilarious slapstick gags ensue as well-meaning passers by (played in cameo roles by well known faces) intervene to save her as his carefully laid plans to kill her in an apparent accident are thwarted. In the inevitable clinches and outbursts of crying that follow the near-death scrapes our anti-hero gradually develops genuine affection for the lady and the whole thing ends in the kind of mush-fest that puts the rom into the com, a la the final half hour of Three and Out, right? Don't get me wrong, I'm loving the Shatner idea above but my idea could cast anyone within reason and be filmed in any country harbouring celebrities and obitable talent. I was going to go more Richard Curtis than Adam Sandler. A young former child star (not based on anyone at all) comes to the UK to appear in a woefully miscast costume drama in order to get her career 'back on track'. She ends up getting drunk and doing something really stupid (car-crash) and her despairing manager contrives for her to stay in the UK whilsy she recovers. She is so bored that she Googles her own name and discovers a dead pool site where she is a frequent topic of discussion. She is so outraged she actually registers and starts stalking one of the most vitriolic posters. By some coincidence she somehow ends up actually meeting him and he turns out to be a nice (ish) but nerdy guy. They stay in touch and then she recovers and goes back to Hollywood where she has been cast in a massive SF blockbuster. Nerd guy makes a bet with her. He gives her a list which he tells her to look at in the future but if he is right she has to get him on to the set of the SF movie (of which he is a massive fan). Fast forward a few months and she has returned to her bad habits when one night she and a group of industry friends are out on the town when one of the girls ends up dying (drink, drugs, chokes on own vomit) at which point she remembers Nerd Guy's list. Her friends name is on the list alongside her and four other people saying one of these people will die in the next 12 months. She contacts him again and she pays for him to visit her when she asks him to explain how he knew. He says he didn't but there are things to look for. She fulfills her side of the bargain and he then flies home. She then gets her act together and decides to tackle some serious roles which works out really well and she is nominated for an award. She decides that the sole reason she did this is thanks to Nerd Guy and she asks him to accompany her to the award ceremony. At the award ceremony (cameo heaven) she naturally wins but at the after party she sees NG talking to a veteren actor or actress (Betty White would be perfect) and he gives them a list. She challenges him to say what was on the list and he says the names of six people in this room who will die before 'Betty'. She asks if her name was on the list and he challenges her back asking If she has anything to live for....cue romantic ending. Your one would probably do better at the box office....

Same here, I pick up a few words here and there, but I think it's much harder to understand Danish when hearing it as opposed to reading it. I think of German when I hear it, it has the same type of vocal/intonation "style". Norwegian is much easier for me. You can think of the three languages as a spectrum where Swedish and Danish are at both ends with Norwegian being in the middle. So, a person from Norway has it easier to understand both other languages than we and the Danes do. If only we Brits were to put so much emphasis on foreign languages as your guys' countries do. I salute you gentlemen. Thanks, the main credit is due to the education system here. In 3rd grade, it's mandatory to learn English. In 6th grade, every student gets to pick one foreign language. Normally it's either French, Spanish or German, but in my case, I couldn't pick the one I wanted: Spanish. Why? Well, the teacher quit and they couldn't find a new one. In the end, I went with French in the hopes of being served French cuisine every now and then during class; You know, stuff like baguette and French fries. I am ashamed at my poor language skills. I have a CSE in German but gave it up as soon as possible. I now attend a number of European meetings in a professional capacity (and even chair one) something I would not be able to do unless all the meetings were held in English. It does also give me a little bit more influence because as the English delegate I tend to be the arbiter of the wording used on communications.

Considering on-line Death threats - are the people who make them capable of acting on them? Are they even capable of walking to refridgerator to refuel without assistance?

There's going to be a cracking spread at his funeral! I do hope the Ambassedor goes...

The man's practically at death's door to start with. If two chancers left him alive what kind of "thugs" are they? I was half expecting the intruders to be deathlisters after a potential first hit. An interesting thought: if Gabor outlives Anhalt for some reason, who becomes her caregiver? Paris Hilton? Give her something to do for a few days.

I suspect that the process has become more streamlined in recent years and there was no internet as such so research probably consisted of seeing who looked a bit rough last time they were on telly or who hadn't been around for a few years.

OK. Can I now have this changed to Jolly Green Gnat to reflect my sunny disposition, my politics and how annoying Dr Z finds me?

Not today Sunbeam

Like a fetid green bird...

Bargain Hunt isn't even on telly at that time.... Antiques Road Trip Yes that makes sense, watch Antiques Road Trip, have a bit of tea and then fire up the internet to see which antiques dealers are likely to die... That's as reasonable a theory as anything else. With the exception of my daughter surely for most viewers of Antiques Road Trip just surviving to the end of the episode is only a 50:50 chance

I feel that we can develop Deathlisting in to a more mainstream international phenomena and to do this we must break the negative connections with films like The Dead Pool and so I propose a series of stealth assaults through mainstream media. Firstly and episode of The Big Bang Theory based around a Deathlist theme: The Terminal Celebrity Probability Sheldon is introduced to the concept of a Deathlist being run in the faculty and despite reservations agrees to participate but being Sheldon he has to approach the subject with a scientific rigour. He comes to the conclusion that his best chance of winning the game is to select William Shatner (originally I thought Nimoy but that might not be wise in the current circumstances). Naturally this will involve some moral wrangling as he is such a fan of Shatner's work. Then towards the end of the episode he reads a report of William Shatner's death and gloats accordingly but the report turns out to be a hoax. This would be even better if William Shatner actually appeared in the episode. I am sure this would appeal to at least a section of the fans of the show. If anyone likes this I may decide to share the idea for the Deathlist rom-com.

What do you mean? Next year there will be a DDP team called The Entire Human Race
