Ysanne Churchman who played Grace Archer who died the night ITV started broadcasting is still alive (b.1925) although she may have been discussed under a Doctor Who thread. There is quite a crossover between the two.

That might be his drip.

That should be .......is it?

Does this mean that all the players and the dedicated fans are going to be pictured in a shirt with the word Virgin emblazoned across the front? At least there shouldn't be any issue with advertising standards.

I never found The New Statesman as funny as it thought it was but I did like the character of his office colleague Piers Flectcher-Dervish (Michael Troughton) but I am now very worried that both our Prime Minister and Chancellor appear to be him.

I saw this yesterday and was going to ignore it as I had never heard of Teenie Hodges but then I found out he co-wrote Take Me To The River so I thought it worth mentioning. Went home and listened to Talking Heads version.

Interesting pattern developing in this year's Drop Forty. There has not been a single hit in the Top 10 but half of the picks 11-20 have gone. This could be bad news for Sam Simon, Olivia de Havilland, Nancy Reagan and Ian Paisley.

Paolo Nutini says he smokes dope everyday - Will this increase his chances of DDP picks next year?

Carlisle had a black away kit last year, and all the stock of replica shirts sold out within the season. A rarity for the away strip. I surmise that you had no shirt sponsor and these were all bought by amateur refs. Nope, sponsored by Stobart - who've just ended 18 years as CUFC's main sponsor to be replaced by Virgin Trains - and mainly bought by die-hard fans. Much in evidence in the seats this season. I think the black shirt doubles for casual wear more effectively than, say, the hideous deckchair numbers we're sported with stripes of Stobard colours and the vivid yellow of a couple of seasons back which had a disturbing tendency to attract insects if you stood still for two long. I think the Stobart connection in itself is a form of attraction and has a coolness to people who like that sort of thing. I did feel for Portsmouth (and their fans) a few years back when their sponsor was TY.

Me too, he has a healthy lead so far. Healthy?

Carlisle had a black away kit last year, and all the stock of replica shirts sold out within the season. A rarity for the away strip. I surmise that you had no shirt sponsor and these were all bought by amateur refs. You mean that there are some people who do this professionally. I always assumed they needed large amounts of vociferous advice from the spectators.

Now that Eli has gone to The Magnificant Heaven Kirk is the competitor with most appearances on the list. If he makes it to next year he will draw level with Ronnie Biggs.

Good exercise.

Going with the theme of elderly Americans - Vigoda.

I would add to that list Stan Lee, Lauren Bacall, Shaw Taylor and Dick van Dyke.

All the deaths so far have been American. Another example of the failure of our players to step up to the plate. Roy Hodgson should take tips from Deathlisters. No-one is going to score if they fill their team with youngsters.

I see that the record attendance at Claggan Park was 1500 but I cannot find data for the average attendance. If you held a DL Con at a home game would it double the spectators? You could even hire hospitality* * A very large umbrella. I do think that the black away kit would look good with Deathlist sponsership on it.

Spanish author Ana Maria Matute dies aged 88 No.....me neither.

I like this competition it is the only one I am doing quite well in.

How the death was won?

Yeah I know. Did she live that long whilst running an international business empire and enduring a stressful long-running criminal investigation of it...? No but she did survive despite having Rupert for a son.

How the fuck is Brooks innocent? If she was so incompetent as to be unaware of what was going on she wasn't fit to be editor, if she was fit to be editor she had to know. Rant over! The verdict is down to the dearth of compelling evidence, right? Does anyone reading this forum genuinely think her innocent? Maybe noone in the jury fancied being turned into a newt. My opinion all along was that she was in it up to her neck. But there again I'm not text buddies with David Cameron.

Brooks cleared but Coulson goes down. Where does this leave Murdoch?

Oh go on, you might as well. Hurrah (and proceed with puppy like enthusiasm to add my latest list) Peter Hall Brian Sewell Mona Hammond Brian Walden Pik Botha Jean Boht Rex Williams Lance Percival Barbara Knox John Boorman David Bellamy Biddy Baxter Barbara Eden Leonard Cohen Roy Barraclough Dave Whelan Jackie Mason Ken Loach Bernie Clifton Alan Alda

Very sad to hear this. Nursey delivered one of my favorite lines in Blackadder from the episode Beer. "You're having so many good ideas you should be careful your foot doesn't fall off" "Is that what happens then when you have lots of good ideas?" "Oh yes. My brother had the good idea of cutting his toenails with a scythe......... and his foot fell off"
