Valerie Harper was born in 1939.

I will have Anita Ellis then.

Seems everyone is after a bit of Fanny.

We are in the 2nd game no one has died recently though.

Whilst looking at my longlists for the DDP it struck me just how many footballers were on it and really decent candidates.We have the Alzheimers epidemic substance abuse and mental health issues in many former footballers.So I thought lets do a deathlist fantasy football competition.Here are the rules: 1)Pick 15 names of current or former professional footballers from any level or era.As long as they are alive and you expect to be able to find any professional death notice/obituary. 2) You need the following set of players 2 Goalkeepers 5 Midfielders 5 Defenders 3 Strikers (As long as the player has it one point professionally worked in that position at some point in their career) 3)Out of the 15 players please designate your main team of 11 players.Any format is ok as long as you have a goalkeer at least one striker and least 3 Defenders. 4)The game is live from today 22nd December and will close on 10th January at 23:59. 5)The season ends at the same time the premier league does.The next season will start directly after though to avoid people potentially missing hits! 6)Scoring:a reserve will give you one point a main player 3 and a team captain will give you 6 points. 7)Most points at end of season wins. 8)You get to replace a hit whenever one dies 9)No transfer days.Too tricky for me to keep up with that amount of changes.As death by numbers showed I am crap at complex calculations. 10)Best of British luck.

it is whether it is cancer or not which is significant here.

Where is the proof Kirk raped Natalie Wood?Not saying he did or didn't as I don't have a clue.Point is neither do all the twitter mob.The concept of innocent until proven guilty exists for a very good reason.

Great idea.

My prediction of the likelihood of death of my main team: 1)Rayya Elias:100% 2)Marieke Vervoot:98% 3)Bobby Zarin :97% 4)Liam Miller:95% 5)Matt Cappotelli:93% 6)John McCain:92% 7)Patrick Cryne :90% 8)Fernando Ricksen:85% 9)Dean Francis:80% 10)Stefan Karl Steffanson:75% 11)Devin Lima:73% 12)Noel Conway:71% 13)Pete Frates:70% 14)Greg Gilbert:65% 15)Morgan Tsvangirai :60% 16)Olivia Newton_John:58% 17)Linda Nolan:57% 18)Ami Brown :55% 19)Val Kilmer50% 20) Paul Gascoigne:45%

I thought about a B Team but decided it just seemed not to be in the spirit of the game.Plus my theme teams allowed me to pick some key picks such as Bracknell Jowell Hume Scales and some riskier picks like Danielle Westbrook Bruce Jones and Keith Vaz.My main team has been played very safe except for Gazza who is only there for being young and Drop 40 regular.

Also the treatment stopped working in March. She had chemo in the Summer which explains why she isn`t dead yet.

Good for her.At least she kept it private rather than going the Jade Goody route.

:Saw this update on Elizabeth Gilberts instagram about her "wife" (they had a commitment ceremony not a legal civil partnership but oh well)No other updates on Liz's social media feeds for over two weeks apart from this .Old photo?Surely Rayya Can't make 2018!

His son announced he has retired completely from public life and his website will soon be closed down.Cites his health concerns as the reason.

I think Dame Tessa would approve of my all women shortlist

My three jokers are Marieke Vervoot Leah Bracknell and Tessa Jowell.

When did the Kirk Douglas thread become the designated shitposting thread?

My updated prediction 1)John McCain 2)Leah Bracknell 3)Kirk Douglas 4) Clive James 5) George H W Bush 6)Billy Graham 7)Prince Philip 8)Tessa Jowell 9)Nobby Stiles 19)Olivia de Havilland 20)Stan Lee 21)Vera Lynn 22)Olivia Newton _John 23)Rayya Elias 24)Patrick Cryne 25)Denis Norden 26)Stefan Karl Stefannson 27)Marieke Vervoot 28)Robert Mugabe 29)Liam Miller 30)Stephen Hawking 31)Fernando Ricksen 32)Dean Francis 33)Greg Gilbert 34)Jimmy Carter 35)Barbara Bush 36)Stirling Moss 37)Val Kilmer 38)Morgan Tsvangirai 39)Linda Nolan 40)Mark E Smith

Yeah she won't come back but I can't imagine Zoe would be recast.

Recasts are common not for a character so well established as Zoe though.
