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.

Some frankly bizzare choices in there youngwillz. Only chose them for the "witty" line which could follow them. I miss Fatima Whitbread

Two years ago since Lauren Bacall went for a Big Sleep

Did he ask the family?

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.

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.

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

Not all the women he murdered were Prostitutes.

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.

Yes we are discussing people long after their 15 minutes are up.

As a hatchet job goes it is pretty weak. He isn't even the one holding the doll. Lets face it if someone wanted to and paid our friends enough money they could amass three photos and concoct a story about what we liked based on that. Having said that those houses look very nice.

I doubt it. He'll have had arrangements in place OK so assuming he does have to pay some inheritence tax and he is now only worth £8 Billion where in the list of eligible batchelors will Hugh Grosvenor now come. He is younger than Prince Harry but older than Harry Styles. On the downside he does have the sort of face that instantly reminds you that somewhere in the lineage of the current Aristocracy someone must have intermarried with a horse.

Was not even a Scavenger Hunt Bingo pick....

I can't see why ethnicity would play a part in whether someone dead pools I don't think it does but from what I can gather there is no-one on here who doesn't come from a Judeo-christian Caucasian background. I am not saying that there is a causal link but I wanted to know if I was mistaken.

OK. Is there anyone on this forum who would describe their ethnic heritage as anything but white?

Time is not on your side young warrior.

This article was from May and he was out and about in Ireland signing books and watching horse racing. Looks thin but probably better than John Hurt. I would be inclined to drop him for 2017.

Yes but comsidering his past performance that time might be 2021

Oooo but look at his hands Biblio - look at his hands. E i E i O! They were holding that glass OK!

This does not look like a man who plans to buy the farm in 2016. Out and about with Olympic Sailor Ben Ainslie. However I am not brave enough to suggest dropping him for 2017

It is very sad to see these pictures of Tim Curry in a wheelchair. There is not much real information about his health but his expression is so blank. 2017?

I think Elvis would have been a good one. I think there would have been much debate om his size, health and lifestyle and he may just have got himself on the list. The fact that this thread is getting so much attention is indicative that despite the early promise we are heading into a death drought.

I was tempted to put him in this as I'm sure I saw something on here ages ago about him being in poor health. That is really the only reason he made my list some nagging thought about what I had read on here

Mate the meetings aren't going to be able to deal with that. It is straight to the list Priory for you.
