2 pointsLove the Mirror's caption for Turgut's photo accompanying the news he fell from a car park at 3 am: "Dropped by the Salford Red Devils in April."

1 pointIf we're doing listamanias, André Soltner (b.1932) is the only person still living who won a James Beard Foundation Lifetime Achievement Award in the 20th century. Other still living lifetime achievement winners: 2004: Alice Waters (b.1944) 2005: Jacques Pépin (b.1935) 2008: Fritz Maytag (b.1937) 2012: Wolfgang Puck (b.1949) 2013: Cecilia Chiang (b.1920) 2014: Sirio Maccioni (b.1932) 2015: Rich Melman (b.1942) 2016: Greg Boyle (b.1954) 2017: Nora Pouillon (b.1943) 2018: Paula Wolfert (b.1938) 2019: Patrick O'Connell (b.1938) I know Wolfert has dementia, but I'd be lying if I said I had any major insight into the health of the rest of that gang.

1 point"Poor" is a value judgement - some people hereabouts have her in competition this year.

1 pointConteh used to get hit in the head for a living but he's conspicuously the youngest of the bunch. A rough guess - he will be the last one left but on the day the second last one checks out Conteh might not remember who the fuck that person was or when they were photographed together.

1 pointI read some Dutch articles about this. The issue is the location, while Amsterdam has a lot of big concerthalls they are also very fully booked throughout the year (so they really need to cancel some stuff). Also there are concerns about Amsterdam because they are already trying to control the masstourism there. Rotterdam is also being named because they have a big concerthalls for the occasion (which might also be scheduled full). But if they want it in a big city that isn't Amsterdam then Rotterdam seems like the best option. Other places i heard being mentioned where Maastricht, Arnhem (with one of the biggest footbal stadiums), Zwolle and in lesser degrees The Hague (barely in the conversation at this point) and Utrecht. The reason why Maastricht keeps floathing to the top is the amount of work they already put into it (they seem to already have a very detailed worked out-plan ready) and because they clearly are campaigning the hardest so far to get it their. All proposals apparently need to be send to the AVROTROS (broadcasting organisation) who then decide.

1 pointDidn't follow the Eurovision (not my thing) but the news that we won was unavoidable. I seriously am not happy with it. First off, this is a tiny country and hosting an event like this will bring an insane amount of tourists to a very small space (especially if it's held in Amsterdam). Also who are paying for it. The gevernment? Does that mean there will be less budget left for the rest of the cultural branche? Not looking forward to next year and am secretly hoping they are holding it in Maastricht as some newssources are claiming (Nice and far from where i live).

1 pointI got really excited when I saw your team PM notification come in thinking I might be able to add some notable, obitable terminally ill Swedes to my deadpooling pool. You can not imagine the disappointment that was audibly heard in the next street when I actually read the bloody PM. And a trolling team would be thus (if anyone submits this you will be DQed): John Smith John Smith John Smith John Smith John Smith John Smith John Smith John Smith John Smith John Smith John Smith John Smith John Smith John Smith John Smith John Smith John Smith John Smith John Smith John Smith John Smith John Smith John Smith John Smith John Smith John Smith John Smith John Smith

1 pointWouk's death has shaken up the list a lot. John Key almost reaches a positive score with his first hit; Great Uncle Bulgaria and En Passant get bonuses for their 3rd hits; and Grim Up North can feel very chuffed in his choice of jokers as he leapfrogs into equal 4th place at the head of the peloton.
