Thank you @Drewsky1211 for the heads up because one of those will be my first for down voting

That would certainly split the vegetable vote

Just been reading up about him. Is he there to show that the Republican party does not have a monopoly on nut jobs?

Additional analysis from the last ten years worth of Deathlist results trying to avoid overlap with @openviews data. This looks at the range of dates for the earlies and latest hits for each number hit and the gap between them Hit Spread Earliest Latest 1 51 7th Jan 27th Feb 2 123 10th Jan 13th May 3 131 4th Feb 15th June 4 128 17th Feb 25th June 5 178 5th Mar 30th Aug 6 177 7th Mar 31st Aug 7 159 5th April 12th Sept 8 191 13th April 8th Oct 9 199 12th May 27th Nov 10 194 19th June 30th Dec 11 177 1st July 24th Dec 12 152 26th July 24th Dec 13 98 17th Sept 23rd Dec 14 101 19th Sept 29th Dec Some of these days may be slightly out because of leap years For hits higher than 14 the data set is only two so I have not included this

Patrick Moore always struck me as a surprising omission in the year of his death and I am surprised Tom Baker has not made his debut yet

We are much nicer than the folks on Mumsnet

79 No Doubt – Don’t Speak 47 Spice Girls – Wannabe 47 White Town – Your Woman 41 The Fugees – Killing Me Softly 33 The Prodigy – Firestarter -6 33 The Verve – The Drugs Don’t Work 22 Gina G – Ooh Aah... Just a Little Bit 12 Deep Blue Something – Breakfast at Tiffany's +4 Breakfast is the only one of these songs which is on my regular playlist. Everything else is merely OK or Meh

Did anyone have Alexandra Burke?

Just played the overview video on Youtube - Why is Liz Truss representing Lithuania? :-)

I have analyzed the last ten years worth of DLs (2013-2022) and come up with an average date of death for the first 12 hits 29-Jan 1 24-Feb 2 26-Mar 3 13-Apr 4 20-May 5 15-Jun 6 13-Jul 7 14-Aug 8 15-Sep 9 11-Oct 10 23-Oct 11 09-Nov 12 The reason I stopped at 12 was that beyond that the date gets earlier I may use this to produce a simplified version of the graph that I publish after each death. Instead of all the years I will just include the outliers, the averages and the current year

78 No Doubt – Don’t Speak 51 Spice Girls – Wannabe 48 White Town – Your Woman 45 The Fugees – Killing Me Softly 34 Gina G – Ooh Aah... Just a Little Bit 26 The Verve – The Drugs Don’t Work -2 26 The Prodigy – Firestarter -2 22 Deep Blue Something – Breakfast at Tiffany's +4 21 Olive – You’re Not Alone -2 09 Mark Morrison – Return of The Mack

Not picked in the DDP this year which is a pity as he had one of the best write ups on the site

Just glanced at a picture of David Tennant from his new play Good and my first thought was that it was Charles Hawtrey

Mean date for the fifth hit is 22nd May but if you eliminate the years where the fifth hit has already happened it goes out to the 21st June I may need to update my data to include all years we have data for

May 24th

I think Nigel Lawson gave up when he kept coming second in the most loathed Nigel competition every year

78 No Doubt – Don’t Speak 50 Spice Girls – Wannabe 46 White Town – Your Woman 42 Deep Blue Something – Breakfast at Tiffany's +2 41 The Fugees – Killing Me Softly 36 Gina G – Ooh Aah...

Making (Funeral) Plans For Nigel

Glad to see the back of his brexity climate denying formally fat arse

Just been to see the new Dungeons & Dragons film. It is pitched absolutely perfectly. So much fun

Well not much else is happening....

I was surprised that MMMBop was so quickly rejected in this game as it is a good earworm @Book may give you their blessing to run an American version if you were so inclined. However there would be a lot of overlap

If you say to any brit "Tell me what you want" it is a national law to follow it up with "What you really really want"

First shared hit between the main list and the crowdsourced list
