OK, I know most folk gave up on my Shortlist post after 2 sentences, but from last year: - Kenny Richey (1964) - Scot who was on Death Row in the US for 20 years, despite dodgy evidence. Got cleared in 2007, promptly became a raging alkie, got cancer, tried suicide several times and had a breakdown. Now allegedly on the wagon, but has suffered a stroke and five heart attacks in the last few years! On borrowed time imo.  Now here to add - only guy keeping him on that wagon has now cut ties with him and chucked him out from a "clean up place for folk in Richey's spot".

Kenny Richey, popular deadpool option around 2011/12, is living in a tent in the middle of a forest.

9000 posts, far too many, really. Actually, if you count my guest phase, probably well beyond. Ah well. As Proper Post 1 was a list, and first really regular deadpooling post was a list then... yep, list coming. Here's a list of potential names and ideas for DDPs (and other pools) for folk in 2019. It's a list of frail folk, terminally ill folk, and really old folk rarely mentioned - in an attempt to provide suggestions for all persuasions of the forum. Some are Deathlisty, others more Deathracey, but pretty sure all will get a qualifying obit. Anyhow, I think a fair lot of these names will die in 2019, but there is only room for 20 on my Pan Breed team, so if you want to pick them, good luck! - Mahmoud Abbas (1935) – Palestinian leader who spent 9 days in hospital in May with a lung infection, the latest of several periods of ill health. - Juliet Ace (1938) – Original Eastenders script writer, suffering from terminal bone cancer. - Sandy Alderson (1947) – Mets GM whose cancer relapsed in summer 2018. - Assem Allam (1939) – Hull City owner suffering from undisclosed cancer. - John Andretti (1963) – Racing driver suffer from a relapse of Stage IV colon and liver cancer, which has since spread. - Pat Arrowsmith (1930) – Hell raising anarchist of the 70s.

Kenny Richey, who has a serious heart condition to contend with as well as his suicidal impulses, has been dabbling in cocaine and leading a generally unhealthy lifestyle since his release. Apart from his suicidal impulses, heart problems and drug abuse issues, Kenny now has another problem to contend with - mouth cancer. I bet he wished he stayed inside now! Kenny Richey has entered a rehabilitation facility, having been told he will be dead within three years if he doesn't stop drinking.

Don't think Wells entered himself since both NTWICS & CPF are still playing in 2010.... Now That's What I Call Significant 2010 Years in DDP: 2 Best position: 9th= (2009) Made an excellent debut in 2009. Can they improve in 2010? Vasily Aleksanyan Abdelbaset Al Megrahi Melissa Bell Stefano Borgonovo Ronnie James Dio Sara Douglass Doug Fieger Laurent Fignon Shaun Greatbatch Johnny Hallyday Genaro Hernandez Alan Igglesden Mike Marqusee Simon MacCorkindale Ndayé Mulamba Sara Payne Zelda Rubinstein Mel Sterland Zeljko Sturanovic Anne-Marie van Kesteren And already doing quite well, with 3 hits. Now That's What I Call SIGNIFICANT 2009 First year in DDP. Vasily Aleksanyan Susan Atkins Seve Ballesteros Paul Birch Paul Gascoigne Jade Goody Michael Jackson Steve Jobs Kerry Katona Sir Dai Llewellyn Peter Macbeth Iain McColl Wendy Richard Kenny Richey Sir Bobby Robson Mel Sterland Patrick Swayze Linda Uttley Steven Wells Amy Winehouse That was a really good team too. Even joined the other 8 teams in missing out on points for not having Linda Uttley get a top line obit. I do think Godot, you may have something in this "fishy business" line of study. It's not for us to know but TMIB may have a sneek at the IP addresses to see who sent in these teams in question and whether they tally back to the Quantick Emails or somewhere else. Ho hum.

Take Eli Wallach off the Deathlist, firstly. Add/Keep: Wendy Richard Basil D'Oliveira Sir John Mortimer Little Richard Helmut Kohl Edwin Morgan Wojeciech Jaruzelski Annette Funicello Eunice Kennedy Shriver & Robert Sargent Shriver (husband & wife hit) Alberto Fujimori Jade Goody King Sihanouk Amy Winehouse Farrah Fawcett Sir Cyril Smith Ted Kennedy Kenny Richey Gough Whitlam James Garner All of the above are good DL material because they are famous enough, but most should have more exciting threads potentially then the likes of de Laurentiis or Lom...

Kenny Richey isn't doing too well. (I think he'd be a good addition to DL2009, if he makes it that far)

Kenny Richey, who has a serious heart condition to contend with as well as his suicidal impulses, has been dabbling in cocaine and leading a generally unhealthy lifestyle since his release. Not very old is he, I'm thinking DDP points, like.

Have just been getting my daily fix of accidentally watched a bit of ITV's This Morning. Kenny Richey, the Scot recently released from death row, was discussing his suicidal feelings while in prison. Fair enough, but he also told Phillip and Fern the two presenters, whoever they are, that he felt more suicidal now that he was free than he did while inside. Which is curious, imho. He said that what stopped him was the thought that he would hurt his family. With his father apparently soon to be gone from cancer, could Kenny be an outside chance for next year? I don't really think so, but you never know...
