You should buy the homeless a few cups of coffee instead. They may not have the capacity to brew coffee, being that they're homeless and all. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Let them eat sun tea" they got all they need to make that. I think my point remains well-made, 340 days into the year. It was an absolutely absurd list and assertion. But a can of coffee or it's equivalent they shall get. I need the charity to send 3£ to. Or add to Deathrace charity or summat. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,228 Posted December 19, 2016 So we are at 10 hits right now, the amount of hits there were in 2014. I do think this was a better year than 2014, even if we don't get anymore hits (and the year isn't over yet), mainly because of the quality of hits we got. Ghali, Reagan, Ali, King of Thailand, Castro, and now Zsa Zsa. The only person in 2014 that really matches that level of fame in my eyes is Lauren Bacall. Now what I want to rant about is how many of the first time picks were poor choices. Not all of them were bad, but many of them were. So let's review those picks: MTM: I hate to break it to the forum users, but I don't think she's really that ill. Sorry, but we probably would've gotten more news if she was very ill. Prunella Scales: I think the problem with her is that she was put on too early. She probably won't make it to 2019, so I wouldn't drop her. Jimmy Carter: To be fair, I think many of us thought his cancer would return. Wouldn't call him a bad pick, but more of an unlucky pick. Tommy Chong: Note to committee, don't include a cancer sufferer unless it's terminal. Doug Ellis: Literally just an old dude, and it doesn't look like he's leaving anytime soon. Sandy Gall: Same as above, although like msc said, bring in more scottish. Robert M Pirsig: He's frail, but he's not that frail if you know what I mean. Lester Piggott: Do I even need to explain why he was a bad pick? Glen Campbell: That one new person many of us hopes makes it to 2017, because if he doesn't... Boutros Boutros-Ghali: Dead Murray Walker: Again he's just an old dude. No health issues (apart from minor cancer that didn't kill him). Jimmy Greaves: His cancer is getting worse, but I think he'll see the year out. Gordon Banks: He seems more like Tommy Chong at this stage, but he's one to keep an eye out on. Jacques Chirac: Recent hospitalizations makes him a better pick for 2017 than he was for 2016. Paul Gascoigne: Putting drug addicts on deathlist is tricky, as they could die tomorrow, or they could die 20 years from now. Although I don't think he's seeing his 70s at the rates he's going at... John Noakes: Like Scales, he is a case of being put on the list too early. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Impends 7,977 Posted December 27, 2016 Random observation: The DL this year seems to have a good knack for killing off names that received a substantial boost in their positioning. Crowe, Bhumibol, Adams, Smith, and Reagan all rose by at least 16 spots compared to last year. Peter Sallis and Vera Lynn may want to keep careful for the next few days. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,228 Posted December 27, 2016 12 deaths isn't bad by any means. It's just most of the newcomers that are bad. We probably could've gotten more if they chose better newcomers like Howard Marks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
