The people behind DL have had to update that bloody front page for decades, so tell you what? Why don't you write it for them this time? Then they can just copy and paste it over. So many people on here are happy to complain but offer such little help... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes it's better to offer before you're asked, especially if you're going to subsequently complain. I have no problem with the front page not being completely up to date for a week or two. It's hard work. The ppl running DL have lives elsewhere too, and presumably better things to do than eulogising a dead foreign film director. And as @msc just correctly pointed out, yes it did used to be much much slower... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,477 Posted September 19, 2022 Although, warning, sometimes you drunkenly offer help if needed one night, and then, before you know it, you are co-host of the Derby Dead Pool. 1 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So he had made the decision to end it. It was his decision and it was important for him that it be known". Only the second death to be unnatural. John Nashs was far more tragic. Next unnatural death, Henry Kissinger will be assassinated days of turning 100? David Attenborough suffers fatal Tiger attack while revisiting some Life of Mammals locations? Marianne Faithful ODs on her painkillers? Hopefully this post isn't as dumb as my threads. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Summat in this, mind...it'd add a certain entertainment value if the DLC put - maybe - one a year in there on the basis of likely unnatural death. The early lists were happy enough with Ozzy and Andrea de Cesaris (accident prone racing driver who eventually died in a road accident). Granted those two never delivered as DL picks but there are a few professional positions, I'd offer up my own successful pick of the head of ISIS this year, that find pension plans a bit unneccessary.
