I'm sure the magic of the cup is the main thing on the Jose family's minds right now.

Tara Palmer-Tomkinson stopped doing whatever she used to do on this day last year, aged 45.

If one were to swap instances of a leading y with an s.... yeah yeah, sue me for flippancy but i found it amusing.

We begin the real update number one with a nobody. That's right, Sara Chivers is the very first hit of the year. All three of the shameless begins with one base point, one first hit of the year point, and one for every person they guess in order until they jump back points. However, they also lose a point since they have chosen a shameless type on their team. I felt like increasing it to two cause of my annoyance of a shameless type being first, but I'm not that mean. msc gets an extra point for having her at spot 45. The second (and final) hit for this update is Paul Alcock. Everyone gets 1 starting point, and everyone except RadGuy and drol gets an extra point for guessing every pick in order till they jump back, though I can guarantee that it's the last time msc will be getting that. Chorizo gets an extra point for having him at spot #2 as well as Phantom, msc gets an extra point for having him at spot 50, drol gets an extra point for having him at spot #1, and CastAway gets an extra point for having him at spot number 2. Here are the scores! 1st - The Dead Cow - 7 points 2nd= - drol - 5 points 2nd= - Toast - 5 points 4th= - CaptainChorizo - 4 point 4th= - CastAway - 4 points 4th= - Phantom of the Midway - 4 points 7th= - Book - 3 points 7th= - Gooseberry Crumble - 3 points 7th - Msc - 3 points 7th= - Pedro67 - 3 points 7th= - Torva Messor - 3 points 12th - FixedBusiness - 2 points 13th= - Bibliogryphon - 1 point 13th= - Death Impends - 1 point 13th= - Heef - 1 point 13th= - Joey Russ - 1 point 13th = - Unknown Man - 1 point 13th= - YoungWilz - 1 point The Dead Cow is still in the lead after this update, but it's early days though. Drol and Toast share the remaining podium places. Kudos to msc though, started out with negative 3 points, and now he jumped up to positive 3 points. As for me, I currently share the same place as Death Impends...

Might be from wiki, but proof that WW2 wasn't just won by the yanks, so worthy. Margot Duhalde at 97, female pilot (not going on that plane,) from Chile , jailed by the English for being Free French, she had some Life. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-42954634

You're as dumb as they come Roey. Look, just look, at the thread title you fucking spangle.

Neither are dead yet, of course. Last years Cup was full of dead certs who just didn't die in that specific month. Errol Christie waited until the entire Cup was over, then died quite quickly afterwards, Van Zandvliet was a top pick in every round but only died during the final, and so on...

Moose was the original dog to play Eddie and died in 2006, but for the last season or two (citation needed) he was replaced by his son Enzo. Even then, Enzo died in 2010.

Well. Let's hope and pray Kirk's address isn't used in a malicious manor by Mr. Dalai Lama....

King Hussein of Jordan, who reigned from 1952 to his death, died on this day 19 years ago, aged 63.

Must be going out in style. Kind of like this path, it's certainly more interesting.

Warren Miller, "legendary" filmmaker of skiing films, and a skiing enthusiast himself, dead at 93: http://www.islandsweekly.com/life/legendary-filmmaker-and-ski-icon-warren-miller-93-passes-away-at-orcas-home/ More than 750 credits to his name....

I'm otherwise engaged. No-one wants to hear me singing (I'm assuming that was the type of performance you were on about)

Just finished reading both interviews. He doesn't pull any punches

I hope he continues with his bewildered tweets even after he has died.

That's great. He did this one last week too, similarly full of "I don't give a shit now I'm 85" isms. Doesn't really speak much for Cosby if one of his closest friends is clearly convinced he's guilty, though.

and Marlon Brando's libido.

Quincy Jones in stunningly ornery form over recent press interviews as he approaches his 85th birthday, discussing why Michael Jackson was a thief, his proof that the mob had JFK assassinated and his friendship with Mussolini's son.

Fedora Aleman?

Roberta McCain is 106 Today

Pat Robertson is the point where ‘20 people I think will die’ and ‘20 people I want to die’ intersect. SC

What's that, Joker? You'll be back? Somehow, I don't think you will be... Heath Ledger died 10 years ago today.

BINGO! Cheers lads, I hadn't noticed.
