arghton 6,639 Posted January 1, 2022 I hadn't heard of him before reading about him here but he's a very good pick. Advanced frontotemporal dementia, can't walk or talk, has trouble eating and looks awful in recent pictures. Poor guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And nice as it would be to have inspired a DL pick, I suspect Nigel was on their radar long before! For the record, here he is chatting about rugby a few years ago: And this was him just before Christmas: 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Predictor 1,018 Posted December 22, 2023 Does he have one of the most modest Wikipedia pages ever for a DeathList entry? His biography isn't very long (no personal life, childhood??), there's only 3 references, 2 of which are for the same damn site. And there's that unsightly box right above the article text basically whining that it ain't up to scratch. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigel_Starmer-Smith 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Commtech Sio Bibble 2,008 Posted December 22, 2023 Ffs, I was hoping that this thread would make it two years without an update, maybe a record for a deathlist pick. So close. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JQW 276 Posted December 22, 2023 Are we sure he is even alive? Could be have headed off to Dingitas under the radar, for example? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So close. Sorry dude, I actually hadn't thought of that. I do like the sentiment of such a record happening organically. I'm sure there will be other opportunities, as I'm sure the committee will pick a lot of dullards in the future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lafaucheuse 4,013 Posted May 22 is this man really famous in the UK ? reading his topic now and checking his wiki page, I can't tell if he's an A-celeb or if he will get major covering everywhere… I cant think of any other pick who has had a smaller wiki page than him , is there one ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought he was like, Keir Starmer's dad. And I had read the wiki too; it's just one of those that had no hook for me to keep me remembering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Impends 7,942 Posted May 24 Just now, lilham said: I thought he was like, Keir Starmer's dad. And I had read the wiki too; it's just one of those that had no hook for me to keep me remembering. Similarly, the name first registered to me in late 2021 when I saw him as a pick on several PMed Hartlepool Deadlypool teams. Piers Corbyn was a cult pick at the time, so I thought to myself "huh, two Labour leaders in a row have an unwell brother?" 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
