Some news on Hawaiian princess Abigail Kawananakoa: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7615653/Native-Hawaiian-heiress-faces-court-test-control-millions.html I consider making her my new deadpooling mascot.

Update time - only three hits, but Leah Bracknell and Marieke Vervoort are massive ones. Third hit was Scotty Bowers. Julie Gibson, sadly, does not seem to have received a QO for this pool. Plus, I forgot to give Grim Up North joker points for Fernando Ricksen - so he gets a big push here, that should have happened the last time: Rank Team name Points 1 Death Impends 1439 2 Clorox Bleachman 1425 3 Joey Russ 1277 4 Banana 1233 5 GCReptile 1229 6 Phantom of the Midway 1205 7 Cpt Chorizo 1152 8 Grim Up North 1147 9 Skinny Kiltrunner 1044 10 Devon Death Trip 990 11 drol 975 12 msc 925 13 Sir Creep 867 14 Book 771 15 John Key 665 16 The Unknown Man 640 17 The Quim Reaper 567 18 Prophet 566 19 YoungWillz 542 20 Grave Danger 532 21 Yorkshire Banker 450 22 The mad hatter 405 23 Fixed Business 401 24 theoldlady 386 25 The old crem 334 26 Deathray 314 27 Pedro 67 295 28 markb4 280 29 Gooseberry Crumble 279 30 Bibliogryphon 260 Some had both Leah and Marieke, some had only one, some had none. DI only had one, Clorox had both, and so the race is suddenly VERY close now. I was thinking about waiting some for John Andretti's expected demise, but both DI and Clorox have him. It does look like the race is now definitely down to those two.

If anyone deserves to die its that damn W**ker that QE2 is married to. Yep, you got it in one, Prince Philip ( Mountbatten) of "foot in mouth" fame. Apart from that, what else is he famous for? Marrying the Queen, big deal! The sooner that bugger is relegated to the earth, the happier I'll be. At his age, hopefully I shouldn't have too long to wait! *fingers crossed*

A 93 years old lesbian Hawaiian princess? Yes, that`s what mascots are made of!

If true, sounds like the Reaper had a 2 for 1 offer going on cunts (Milat, Baghdadi).

So they carried him back from hospital to let him die in the cell? I guess, it was not undeserved.

I though he had his own thread. ...could it be true this time? Killed by the US while they're leaving the country? Maybe it happened some months ago? Wait and see...

Trump tweeted "something very big just happened!" with a full announcement to come tomorrow, and there's a lot of speculation it pertains to a Baghdadi death... Newsweek is running with it, for what it's worth.

I was there! ... not.

Casefile True crime podcast has a great 5 part episodes on this. Absolute monster and glad he's dead. https://casefilepodcast.com/case-109-belanglo-part-1/

This is pretty much always inappropriate, but in this case....

Given the fact that you appear to be posting each track as you listen to it the last thing you need is more alcohol.

Ivan Milat is a hit here.

Memories from 1987: I watched wrestling, Deadly Ernest show and this while doing a student nurse

Ivan Milat is dead: https://www.news.com.au/national/australias-worst-serial-killer-ivan-milat-has-died-aged-74/news-story/c0ec9be649b146fc3919ce05387b475d

To be fair, this was fantasyland not so long ago.

Okay now, hefty update ahead... Leah Bracknell never got her date of death sorted out, so as promised I'm treating her as the last September death. I will revise if we ever do get an exact date of death and it turns out to be earlier than any scoring September hits. She becomes the most popular hit of the year, and also carries a pantomime bonus for the 15 who went with her: Pedro, The Old Crem, and WidowsPeak get 45 + 18 = 63 points. The Unknown Man and theoldlady 40 + 16 = 56. John Key, The Mad Hatter, and the_engineer 35 + 14 = 49. FixedBusiness and Wormfarmer 30 + 12 = 42. markb4 25 + 10 = 35. Sean 20 + 8 = 28. and Exu and Prophet both get their first sub hit for 25 points, while Book lands his second sub for 50. Walter faltered... only RadGuy benefits from the death of Mr. Maude, Bill Macy. 30 base points but because he was unique and on Hollywood Squares, another 36 bonus points net him 66 total. Marieke Vervoort plummeted from 12 teams last year to just 1 this. John Key kept the faith, and is duly rewarded with 35 base points plus 28 bonus points for the combined unique and suicide bonuses, for 63 total. Geriatric German Gustav Gerneth got a Die Zeit obit, which counts for the purposes of this pool. time benefits with 45 base points and 18 bonus points for the uniqueness, giving him his second 63-point hit this year. And now for the latest scoreboard, with theoldlady positioning herself as the favorite with a little more than two months left... 1. theoldlady 363 2. John Key 277 3. RadGuy 264.5 4. msc 262 5.

For your list, maybe? Phyllida Law (1932) - former Play School presenter and Jackanory presenter, also acclaimed TV/film actress, and Mother of the Magic Roundabout and Emma Thompson. Valerie Singleton (1937) and Peter Purves (1939) surely need no introduction. Anita West (1935) also lives. David Graham (1925) - Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, Dr Who

Ironically his 114th birthday story is on the BBC news website ('Newsround' section) where he is described as the world's oldest man...

I telt yers, the news is always followed by the weather - George's apparant healthy bulk is mebbe steroids. And he gets to work sitting down so form spotting is harder. I think he's gone first but they're both 2020 scorers

I was woken 6.20 thismorning by a hyper 7 year old telling me that Saturn has 20 new moons making it the new "moon king" with 82 vs Jupiter's 79. Oh the joys.

This didn't age well...
