Composer Ennio Morricone who contributed scores to over 500 films and TV series, including more than 60 award-winning movies, dead at 91 years: https://www.bild.de/unterhaltung/leute/leute/italienischer-komponist-und-oscar-preistraeger-ennio-morricone-ist-tot-71714016.bild.html He was primarily known for his work on Spaghetti westerns such as the Dollars Trilogy.

Who knew there was a 98 year old Scottish international rugby player alive? I didn't. Logie Bruce Lockhart played rugby for Scotland from 1948 to 1953 after serving in the Second World War. He then became headmaster of Greshams for 30 years and taught James Dyson. He now writes books on everything from education policy to fishing in the Highlands to just being very very old. Here's a picture of him from last summer.

Ennio Morricone is a hit for Bibliogryphon, Etushispushingupdaisies, Deathray, theoldlady and YoungWillz. I hope my dear YoungWillz can smile again Update will follow soon.

The whole point of fronting a band is to get something benign on your bollocks!

Whaeeeaeeeaaaaaaaa, RIP RIP RIP to the esteemed Ennio Morricone. YoungWillz spa-gets a fistful of points to end his time at the bottom - 20 base points and 8 extra for uniqueness, for 28 total.

The Dalai Lama turns 85 and thinks that with certain exercises and prayers he could get 108 or 110 years old: https://www.spiegel.de/panorama/leute/dalai-lama-bittet-um-gebete-fuer-langes-leben-etwa-108-oder-110-jahre-a-dbae5e68-987d-49a5-ad39-aeb80fb6f947 (german link)

Now let's get the popular joke out of the way. Ennio Morricone is now decomposing. I hope he has Leone-d his lesson! Anyway, a unique pick for me, your Casino Manager, who clambers onto the leaderboard. Which is updated. And will be brought forward on the next hit.

Let's get the popular pick out of the way. Nick Cordero was legless and now he's breathless. Hits for Joey Russ, Sean, The Old Crem, Clorox Bleachman and Grim Up North. No bonuses. Cordero was also a sub and the following happened: msc drew Q Spades - 12 Points added. gcreptile drew A Diamonds - 14 Points added Banana drew J Clubs - 11 Points added. An Fear Beag drew 5 Diamonds - 5 Points added. Leaderboard updated.

Hit for me too!

John Papworth, British Anglican minister, political activist and general pain in everyone's backside, supposedly dead at 98.

Twitter reporting the death of British neuroscientist Horace Barlow aged 98. He was also the great grandson of Charles Darwin.

RIP Ennio You were blessed with a great talent that the world will continue to enjoy long after you are gone.

I'm sad to have been proven correct after 7 years. Incidentally, and unsurprisingly, Chris Sarandon (for it was he) has therefore outlived Ennio. Still, he kept his thread.

RIP.

RIP. He was one of my favourite film score composers along with John Williams, Danny Elfman and the late Jerry Goldsmith

Jane Morrison, who was an urban environmentalist before anyone knew what that meant and a central part of the progressive movement in this city for more than half a century, has died at 101. SC

Nick Cordero for most people who transferred him in

His death has been confirmed by his wife, Amanda Kloots.

Honestly it’s a bit relieving to see him go. His quality of life would’ve been pretty bad had he lived. Definitely no way to go at all. RIP to him.

Thought he was a Trump supporter Oh that's why he's running - take black voters away from the Dems.

Well, that's news.

I didn't even know this was a thing that's how close I've come before!

Goodbye Deathlist. This my last post. I know I've claimed similar in the past but something real life has come up that necessitates a complete refresh of my entire social media. Tara. I'll see you in the DDP entries.
