Spotify random play made me stumble over The Durutti Column - interesting, might have to check them (him) out! The frontman, Vini Reilly, has been mentioned on here before because of three strokes and suicidal tendencies... but he seemed okay, last year:

I think there was a day when the UK had a single death one day, around June / July or so. Close, but no cigar. Technically, the most important day would be the final day of a Corona-related death, not the first one without it. But then, that day might never come.

Alright... we are still missing a letter, but yes, 99% of the new DDP pictures are done. Have a look if you want to, look at the Balls and Tits, etc... And give your salute to our diligent contributors! @Toast @Death Impends @Dying Probably @time @Ulitzer95 And thanks for the additional offers of help! They are always appreciated.

Any deadpool starting in the next 12 hours?

I bet Elizabeth has forbidden everybody at the Palace to watch that interview. Philip just tries to use the hospital TV instead.

Wasn't he a DDP, I seem to recall? If so, that person deserved three more points, I guess. Ah well...

It has come to my attention that one extremely obvious case of "cancer bride" slipped through the cracks and got into the competition - because it was an old pick that didn't have to be added into the database and so slipped under the radar. Well, I replaced her now with a sub.

Bangladeshi actor ATM Shamsuzzaman dead at 79: https://www.dhakatribune.com/bangladesh/2021/02/20/atm-shamsuzzaman-passes-away And here I thought he might be a potential immortal.

This thread is currently 91 pages long. So Philip's thread is now two pages longer than Lizzie's. Maybe that's the whole purpose behind these hospitalizations? Anyway, in terms of "longest single person thread", Donald Trump is running ahead comfortably now. Now, I guess either Philip or Elizabeth might shortly surpass Trump's thread in the aftermath of their death, but Trump might well retake the lead with his inevitable demise.

Good way to bridge the current dry spell. And congratulations GUN, very well done.

Acknowledged, it will be done.

Fascist!

Success!

I have heard that once you reach a certain age, cancer becomes less deadly, because your metabolism slows down so much, the cancer cant grow as fast anymore. Still, Bob was already pretty frail (no comparison to Jimmy Carter when he had stage 4 cancer). How much treatment can he stand?

Oh wow, a sympathy diagnosis for Rush...

Famous last words, but I think he's doing okay... Still, there is that trio of 90 year old (or now, 91) legendary actors Gene Hackman, Clint Eastwood and Robert Duvall. They all "should" make the List soon.

Now, statistically, En Passant is actually the favourite, in the battle Nehemiah Persoff vs Liz Sheridan. It's a centenarian male vs. nonagenarian female.

I see, my Star Wars Instagram fan Brett Ferencz, died last week. Was he allowed in the Cup, I wonder? https://whiskeyreviewer.com/2021/02/whisky-influencer-brett-ferencz-passed-away-age-42-021621/

He recently stepped down as executive chair, so that's when you knew something was up. But he "only" had stage 2 pancreatic cancer, if I recall correctly. And as he survived 2020, he was unpicked in the 2021 DDP.

Good to know, thanks Banana! We'll see what we can do during the week, and what's left for the weekend.

Great to hear! Let's talk tomorrow, it's getting late for me now, sadly.

Hello folks, if you want to, have a look at the first new pictures of the 2021 DDP. The letters A, J and R are done. We are currently a team of three - and have quite a few letters in the alphabet left. If you want to help the process, even just for one letter, message me, and I will invite you into our group. Find a suitable image, crop it and cut it down to size, rename it, and mail it to me. It's actually quite fun, if you don't stress yourself.

Brighton party legend and serial dance competitor Disco Stu Pete, dead at 84: https://www.theargus.co.uk/news/19089935.tributes-paid-brighton-party-legend-disco-pete-died-aged-84/

I never have surprising hits, I only have surprising survivors... booya, mic drop, delusion alert.

Another vote for Patrick Stewart. Not quite Bowie-esque, but I'd be very sad for Björk and Trent Reznor. Oh, Tina Turner, too. Maybe Wes Anderson, maybe Heidi N Closet. Cate Blanchett.
