    Two slices of Toast? Don't mind if I do.... How's that going to work for you, though? He gives you a team and it's open for snaffles...though I believe Toast is an honourable person.

    Now my searching techniques are a little more sophisticated, I thought I'd go back and look at some of the earlier ones. Now here is a nice little article about The Innocents from August 1963 here: https://worldradiohistory.com/UK/Pop-Weekly/63/Pop Weekly 51 17th August 1963_19.pdf Gives the ages then as follows: Colin Giffin (19) - so born 1943/44; Roger Brown (19) - so born 1943/44; David Brown (20) - so born 1942/43 - all out of Surrey. I remember being confused because there was reference to both Roger Groom and Donald Groom - that confusion appears to have been resolved - Don Groom aka Roger Groom aka Roger Groome b. 1939 as per this: https://rateyourmusic.com/artist/roger-groome

    2020 now at 10/40 with Lynn and Lewis's deaths. Vera Lynn was Deathlist's 100 DDP hit! Judy Dyble has put Maryport on 99. Going Underground had John Lewis so 98. Getting close there.

    0/5 Grammy Winners dead thus far for @YoungWillz and 1/5 #1 Hit Artists dead (that one after the game had finished). #justsayin Still, if you can't be optimistic before the game has started when can you be? Good luck, Willz, maybe it's your time!

    I'd have no problem with it, after all didn't someone else get a team for one of their kids in another pool?

    Don't know how much effort you put in last time, but your record on Scavenger Hunts 1 and 2 is currently 13/50 dead (and the first one started in 2016!) Good luck.

    Until I started researching The Floaters, I never knew that this existed:

    The Floaters. Nothing overly substantial, I'm afraid. From looking, the now dead Larry Cunningham was the main spokesperson for the group. This appears to be Ralph Mitchell https://www.reverbnation.com/ralphmitchell indicating he is resident in Harper Woods, Michigan and also a member of a gospel outfit Sacred Praise. He'd be in his 60s. was still performing with The Floaters (reconstituted) as late as February 2020 from what I've seen on YouTube. Paul Mitchell - I got nothing. He was supposed to have become a producer in Detroit - I've even tried looking under James Mitchell (Jnr). Charles Clark - I'm not on FB but two accounts at least seem to exist here: https://www.facebook.com/people/Charles-Clark/100018667261125 and here https://www.facebook.com/charles.winningsouls some biographical details there, maybe he's posted up some articles about his time with the Floaters. Seemingly resident in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, he joined the group when he was fourteen. Now there is an article here: https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-Billboard/70s/1977/Billboard 1977-07-23.pdf Far from being formed in 1976, Cunningham specifically says they had been performing for around 12/13 years - this puts Clark's dob somewhere around 1950/51 I'd say.

    Took OSP JR out last night to look for Comet NEOWISE as it was the first clear night in ages. We managed to see it after 11.30 at about 5 o'clock from the big dipper/plough half way between it and the horizon. Around midnight I could see it out of the corner of my eye as a bright smudgy line. We got a great view of Juipter and it's Galilean moons, Saturns rings and a very bright pass of the ISS! Try getting a 7 yearold to sleep after all that!!!

    Indeed, we have a batch of new hits, all of whom have been picked quite a few times: Judy Dyble, John Lewis, and Ruth Morrissey. Kieran O'Connor was actually subbed out, but Death Impends still continues his lead with a healthy distance. JoeyRuss however has the trifecta of these three hits and advances to nr 2. Fi Munro seems, somewhat surprisingly, to become a non-obit. I think she would more likely have obited one or two years ago. Both Morrissey and Munro were, in my opinion, more than just "cancer mums" - one was a legal case with influence on a whole country, one was an author/fundraiser/activist for years. But here we now see, these cases can still be risky. Rank Team Score 1 Death Impends 889 2 Joey Russ 777 3 gcreptile 742 4 Banana 729 5 msc 723 6 Cpt.

    Warning!!!! Please share, dont become a victim of this scam. Today I was walking through Sheffield city centre when I was approached by a smartly dressed man who asked me if I would like to smell his cheese. As he asked this he gestured his hand towards my nose which was in the extended palm position. Being a lover of cheese I saw no harm in taking the man up on his kind offer. As he brought his hand up to my nose what I hadn't noticed was that his other hand was in the clentched fist position at the base of his extended palm (see picture). When his finger tips reached my nostrils I could neither see or smell the cheese and it was too late to retract as his now perfectly alligned fist of the other hand was traveling towards my nose at speed, which struck me with considerable force. There was never any cheese! This was a scam to catch me off guard and punch me in the nose. No matter how much you love cheese do not accept offers to "smell my cheese" off people you don't know. Please share and stay safe!

    I would suggest keeping track as %age of population, to give a fair shake to all involved. Hell keep track of both
