3 pointsNot particularly uncommon - 43.75%. Since 2010 that figure has fallen to 30%. A deathless January and February isn't impossible either. There is an 18.75% chance of that happening, though we last saw it occur back in 2007.

1 pointYeah, and hot new talent Seriously, if he's just emerged into dead pooling awareness I'd stick him in there and Google enough to see if there's any form indicators. I mean, obviously, he doesn't dislodge Marsh Pratley as joker without a struggle!

1 pointFirstly may I thank Markb4 for being so gracious in accepting me back into the competition. In a normal league hearing that your opponent has been disqualified and then re-admitted into the competition would cause disruptions in preparation, perhaps not so here unless Mark had organised some hits which he subsequently cancelled. Sorry for being slow in catching the problem...I was away from work because I got my little dog desexed and so was only very sporadically checking the forums-which I mostly do in between less important work duties (like now). Replying from home also involves typing on the Ipad which I find frustratingly slow and inaccurate compared with a keyboard. But enough about me. Funnily enough I was talking about Andrew McGahan at work the day before I found out he had cancer (because someone selected him in Advent Avalanche). For a period he was quite famous in Australia due to the success of his initial book "Praise". Not exactly a household name, but certainly well-known for people of my vintage and especially in Brisbane where the book was set. I was talking about buying the book and reading it only to find the second and third last leaves missing, leaving me with the last leaf which had about 1.5 paragraphs in it. I found the book too gritty and not overly interesting, so I just got my refund from the shop and never worried about the bit I missed. It dealt with a poor local subculture of which I was already too familiar and which had been told much more entertainingly in John Birminghham's "He Died With a Felafel in His Hand". Mrs T couldn't remember whether or not she had read the book. I asked he if she remembered a scene where a young couple were having a bath in a communal bathroom in a boarding house where she was rubbing cream into the eczema on his back while they listened to an old man in a nearby toilet shitting? She couldn't so I suggested she hadn't read the book.

1 pointSlightly off topic, but apparently 11th April 1954 was the dullest day of the twentieth century.

1 pointShe appears in a new British Airways advert for approximately 0.9 of a second. Hardly enough time to study form, but not on her deathbed.

1 pointBased on how the Democrats have behaved recently (The Kavanaugh shitshow etc) none of what that post is saying is far fetched.

1 pointCreate a really pointless list. Whilst gardening yesterday Mrs Biblio was playing her favourite J-rock in the kitchen and one teack was called THE WAY BACK, which many of you will know is also the title of the first episode of Blakes' 7. So I came up with B7 episode title playlist THE WAY BACK - One OK Rock Moonlight SHADOW - Mike Oldfield WEAPON of Choice - Fatboy Slim HORIZON - Genesis KILLER - Adamski The Final COUNTDOWN - Europe Dance on a VOLCANO - Genesis The huge evergrowing pulsating brain that rules from the centre of the ULTRAWORLD - The Orb RESCUE Me - Madonna I Have the POWER - Snap ANIMAL - Def Leppard Love GAMES - Belle and the Devotions Circle in the SAND - Belinda Carlisle GOLD - Spandau Ballet I am sure there are better ones and some that I have missed. Feel free to add your own.

0 pointsHere's a howd'yado......a wee cracker. Here is the death notice of Sir Peter Craft Hutchison, 2nd Baronet of Rossie: http://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/deaths/230930/hutchison Died aged 83, peacefully. But here is an article in the Express from January, detailing how he was attacked by some other aristo who has not been named in the legal process: https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1070465/scotland-stirling-scottish-aristocrat-murder-petrol Now if he has died as a result of the attack or with some connection, she might be charged with murder! Nobs, eh? Wiki (mention): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hutchison_baronets#Hutchison_baronets,_of_Rossie_(1956)

0 pointsMy uncle Paulie passed away this afternoon, aged 70. Had a massive stroke three weeks ago and was sent to the hospital on life support. Showed no signs of brain activity, so it was time to turn off the ventilator. Unexpected.

0 pointsI didn't know about the existence of this topic at the time, so I'll post it now: About 2 months ago, my great-uncle (grandmother's brother) passed away. This hit me and my family hard as he fell into a coma about 10 days prior and didn't wake up from it. And to top it all off, he was the family member on my grandmother's side that I knew best as he only lived about 25 minutes away from me, so my family and I would visit him often.
