    Derby Dead Pool 2018

    I think Anzaki is a 95%-List of the Lost-er now. Shutts... well, Telegraph or bust. But then, from DI's view it's probably best if all the misfortune of a "deadpooling career" is concentrated in one year, so that the others are untainted.

    Queen Elizabeth II

    Prince Charles is already older than his grandfather ever got to be, and older than Edward VII. In spring next year, he will overtake George V. If QE II lives as long as her mom, than Charles would also have to live longer than his uncle Edward VIII, who reached 77. I don't know... the statistics are against Charles ever becoming king - if the female/male genes of House Windsor are any indication. But perhaps the Greek genes help him?

    Nazi of SS

    I don't know about Karkoc... First I thought the difference was that Palij was convicted and Karkoc was not, but it seems they both never were convicted. Looking at Karkoc's Wikipedia page, it doesn't seem to be entirely clear that Karkoc is really the Nazi criminal that others suspect him to be. His son rejects the claim, but then he would, I guess... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Karkoc

    World's Oldest

    I've watched Overton's standing in the list for a while. He has hovered around 50th place for some time now, as about as many new people are confirmed as others die.

    Not Seen Any Good Films/movies

    Still haven't seen The Last Jedi. It played in cinemas for months, and I was kind of interested to see it. But just not interested enough.

    MMMDP 2018

    A couple of great picks. It will be over with the death reports on monday at latest. And I thought Jon Hiseman could be a sneaky unique DDP pick. So wrong on many counts...

    The Deathlist Poker Tournament 2018

    Really looking forward to it. And this time, I'm going to remember that the competition only lasts 6 months.

    Twitter thinks he's very ill. I don't know what's wrong. Twitter also told me that Gardner Dozois was very ill. So I hope for a repeat.

    Ah thanks. I only remembered it was some time mid-year.

    Simon Ricketts and Jose Jose currently are in the same "should be dead but aren't" category. At least, Ricketts will probably live to see his 50th birthday.
