Update time! I was glad to see that we kind of hit every "old person death" that we got in the past 3-4 weeks - well, except for Prem Tinsunalonda, as far as I can tell. Paul Darrow, Thad Cochran, Judith Kerr, Bart Starr, Claus Van Bülow. Plus belated obits for Tommy Donbavand and Mary Stopes-Roe. The former puts DDT at 2nd place. And I was disappointed to find out that I hadn't picked him - but well, there you see my december research that made me pick him for the B-team, but not here, as this team was assembled on December 1st. Mary Stopes-Roe gives Pedro a welcome hit, but he also has two more people now waiting for obits: Robin Herd and Norman Dewis. They should get them, in my opinion. And in terms of number of hits, Pedro will be quite up there. I also added Bob Hawke's points for Skinny Kiltrunner. That eluded me the last time. And as I have to leave the computer soon, there might be an omission here and there.

Third DL-birthday in a row, today it's Tony Britton's:

Jupiter is at Opposition at the moment meaning the giant planet is at its closest approach to Earth and its face is fully illuminated by the Sun. It is brighter than any other time of the year and is visible all night long. It's easily visible with the naked eye (very bright), however, a small pair of binoculars will allow you to see Jupiter's four largest moons, appearing as bright dots on either side of the planet. The further south you are, the higher in the sky it will be. In the British Isles 10-15 degrees above the horizon, Australia and New Zealand - almost overhead. Online Planetarium

58 today - Happy Birthday!

Is back to teaching Sunday school classes! https://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/ny-jimmy-carter-sunday-school-hip-surgery-20190609-7d4r54acabd2plclr4dbwy6uxi-story.html

That'll add weight to the Labour front benches!

Aye, the man's a ledge when it comes to sharing the love.

The Deathlist Cup is overrunning and punters are still round the bookies looking up at the screens to see which team will win. So while everyone is distracted and not paying attention, I'm throwing open the doors of the Deathlist Casino for the Third Annual Poker Tournament! Will Joey Russ attain greatness, or will most of his hits come from his subs bench - again? Who can stop Death Impends making it a total hat trick and take the title for the third year in a row? Just pick 25 names (and a maximum of 5 subs) who will cash in their chips on or before December 31st. There is a new rule to add to the fun! Yes...fun.....!!! The tables are being brushed down, the croupiers are back (on the minimum wage, obviously), the chips are pristine and the packs will be broken open come July 1st. So get your thinking caps on and join the gamblers at the table!

Ah, don't do me like that!

The Grim Reaper is amongst us once more; all hail the Grim Reaper. In other words, Death List 2019 is alive and well once more.

I hate these birthday wishes - the new posting on this thread got me worried......!!

Bushwhacker Bill has died, giving points to all teams.All of them. Spade Cooley vs Banana 10-9 Boudicca vs Clorox 13-6 And to think a Semifinal in 2017 ended 2-0!

With grateful thanks to @Cat O'FalkI now have 'The seduction' downloaded.

And the answer if anyone cares is 1980. All the players from the 1979 final are still with us apart from one unused sub. 1982 is the oldest final where every single player in the squads and managers are still alive.

You forgot to add Yegor Ligachev (b.29.11.1920), famous Soviet politician. He's famous for initiating anti-alcohol campaign in the 1980's and telling Yeltsin something, like "Boris, you are wrong,".

The duchess needs to be be on the list I think for next year. Princess Alexandra attended an engagement on Thursday in Cornwall so maybe she is still down there. Looks well for 82. https://www.cornwalllive.com/news/royal-visit-royal-cornwall-show-2948586

Source ‘Cruising World’ has me convinced you put in wrong thread SC

Damn. This website can never be satisfied. Lol

You've got me there. Replace last with oldest.

Former American crime boss Nicky Barnes, who was portrayed in the 2007 documentary Mr Untouchable died back in 2012, but was unreported until now.

Apologies for the tardiness but... Took me a few days to get details of a fundraising page. Clorox had requested a cancer research donation as his prize and I've just confirmed I stuck £20 into someone's personal fundraising challenge for cancer. Who says we're sickos, eh?
