Happy Mothers Day

I've just seen I'm against Book (subject to no more deaths in the next 7 hours) I am totally losing this round, arse burgers!

Conservative leadership line-up growing (NB: please note this is not the original grauniad image).

Can confirm Boudicca and The Mad Hatter are in. So, short of last minute deaths in those ties, from tomorrow we can all enjoy Bou Cassidy and the Morbid Kid. Gag stolen off DI.

Teams In. Looking forward to last min Willz hit and coin toss.

Can confirm KITT/Mr Feeny is very well known in the UK too and a banker BBC obit.

Selena Quintanilla-Perez's career was cut short when she was gunned down on this day 24 years ago, aged just 23.

In The Land Of Make Beleive

I want to congratulate Banana on winning this round. I knew it wasn’t going to be easy for me to beat you this time, and I hope you do well in later rounds of the cup.

If you had called The Sport you would of made some money and The Sport is less of a scummy paper

Have submitted a squad for April. Assuming no late twists await in the waning hours of the day, good game DDT. The Admin Derby lived up to the expectations of an exciting and close match, though indeed unlucky we faced each other when both our sides would've easily defeated most of this round's participants. Good luck to John Key.

@CaptainChorizo Are you going to do this game for the 2019-2020 season? It is fun and I would like a chance to redeem myself.

I know him best as John Adams from '1776' myself.

Happy Birthday to Actor William Daniels, 92 today! Not sure if he would be obitable, but in US-television he is well known

6/16 in already. So we wont get a Deathray v msc Default final anymore. Just as well, really, if I'd lost to a team with Lio Messi as joker, I'd probably have to quit the forum in shame! Reminders sent to folk in the lead, etc. Should anyone fail to turn up, like Joe last time, this Cup is based on precedent, and so to avoid that sort of thing again, I have randomly drawn every Round 2 likely loser - except me - to provide a Lucky Loser. So if we get a no show or two, the following 3 people were drawn in order to replace them: 1. Bibliogryphon 2. Joey 3. Engineer Although I don't think that'll be needed at all, but there it is in case of emergency. EDIT At 23.15 - Joey and Engineer eliminated barring late comebacks as only 1 team out standing now... The Old Lady very nicely suggested that both 0-0ers forfeit and let Joey back in. That ain't happening, but a round of applause for magnanimity anyhow. 16. The Old Lady Vs. Boudicca. 0-0 zzzzzz.... Sorry, I mean the coin toss has happened on this super exciting tie: Old Lady (heads) v Boudicca (tail) - Tails. Bou leads 1-0 - Tails. Bou leads 2-0. - Heads. 2-1 - Tails. Bou wins 3-1. Hard luck Old Lady. Although 0-0 FFS...

Maybe you should fire out some of those silver spheres to speed things up.

Say what you want. I know thousands of very ill or very old people, thousands. During the last week only Agnes Varda, Ranking Roger and Joseph Pilato have died among the names I know. And fuck, there should be at least 20 deaths per week, judging how ill they are! Death is becoming duller and duller, medical science will prevail and biological immortality will be achieved in less than a century. And it will be the biggest disgrace for humanity.

Dammit.
