The Unknown Man 586 Posted July 4, 2016 Former US Senator Jesse Helms died eight years ago today aged 86. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,479 Posted July 4, 2016 The front page appears to be down just now, but when it returns, Helms has one of my favourite write ups on there. The first Deathlist "hit" from when I started visiting the forum regularly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,479 Posted July 4, 2016 July 4th was a popular day for Deathlist hits, however. In 2012, we had Eric Sykes, with the lid on, and in 2013 it was the turn of Bernie Nolan. Nolan's death was a sore one here. Late in 2012, someone (one of the regulars but I forget which one of you) was talking about DDP picks in the chatroom and had mentioned not considering Nolan as "she had a treatable cancer". I pointed out that the cancer had spread nearly everywhere and not only a fool would miss out on her in the DDP. They agreed, and picked Nolan, iirc, for the 2013 Deadpool. If you were to glance at the 2013 Pan Breed team, you can see which fool didn't. In my haste to get my team in, I forgot all about her. And Masao Yoshida too, but his anniversary isn't for another five days. So this anniversary certainly goes by with a memorial facepalm from this fool!

Death Impends 7,979 Posted July 4, 2016 Nolan was an odd one for me, I was convinced enough then by the "she has another year in her" patter on here to relegate her to the subs bench, but then one of my picks died on NYE and it wasn't revealed till the day after, bringing her back in the fray.
