YoungWillz 21,067 Posted July 2, 2016 Royally effs up my Inverse Dead Pool I'm sure, but I'll take consolation in the fact I picked her for other things. Never overly impressed with her work. Except maybe her voice over for Gogglebox. Edit: First ever hit for my Comedy Theme Team. 18 months of waiting.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RadGuy 1,614 Posted July 2, 2016 Are you fucking kidding me. I literally transferred Carolina Aherne out of my Shaun's Death By Numbers team 2 days ago! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lard Bazaar 3,800 Posted July 2, 2016 My 6th hit, I don't know if I've ever had that many. This is the year that keeps on giving. ETA 7, in 2012 when I came 24th! Thanks to some flukey insider knowledge, a strategically played joker and a fucking lucky obit 👍 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,480 Posted August 9, 2016 Frank Miller's been on my long list for years. He's clearly suffering from something, and there's a lot of cancer chatter on other forums, but no smoking gun other than appearance. As ghastly as he looks, some people just look like hell with treatable cancers, and others, from personal experience, look reasonably well with killers right near the end.

The favourite in this house: Sir Humphrey: Prime Minister, I must protest in the strongest possible terms my profound opposition to the newly instituted practice which imposes severe and intolerable restrictions upon the ingress and egress of senior members of the hierarchy and will, in all probability, should the current deplorable innovation be perpetuated, precipitate a constriction of the channels of communication, and culminate in a condition of organisational atrophy and administrative paralysis, which will render effectively impossible the coherent and co-ordinated discharge of the function of government within Her Majesty's United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland!

Spade_Cooley 9,540 Posted September 4, 2016 Watching some Richard Pryor over the weekend, thought I'd check in to see how long-term "he's gotta be dead soon" candidate Paul Mooney was doing. Not great. He's on the left btw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
