4 pointsThe man was worthy of his Nobel Prize. As the BBC obit says, you cannot possibly overestimate his role in the peaceful political development of N. Ireland. R.I.P.

4 pointsMy video card is on its last legs since yesterday, so I've taken the opportunity and bought a new computer. It's going to take a few days until I have transferred all the old files (hard drive still working, so no worries on that front). Normal service is going to resume at the weekend I think.

2 pointsFreelance journalist Seb Patrick, who wrote for loads of places, died of a heart attack on Sunday night. I recognised his name from When Saturday Comes, but he also wrote for The Guardian, Empire, Den of Geek and was the social media manager for Red Dwarf.

2 pointsBig one... and maybe a miss. As great as the DeathList is doing right now, I can't stop thinking that we could have had a few more hits by now.

2 pointsVery frail and suffering from an infection on his face. The journalist who visited him said he was barely able to speak and his health reportedly deteriorated after his trip to Germany. Still it is also said the pope is confident in his own recovery. I will post a link later but it is all over the foreign press.

2 pointsLeon Fleisher, a celebrated pianist who was just 16 when he debuted at Carnegie Hall with the New York Philharmonic, recording his first album at 25 as he delved into Franz Schubert compositions, has died. He was 92. https://www.npr.org/sections/deceptivecadence/2020/08/02/702978476/leon-fleisher-the-pianist-who-reinvented-himself-dies-at-92

2 pointsDrol's from Italy, isn't he? I think it's just a language thing. Like AIDS is SIDA in French. Similar words but different order.

1 pointBetty White is reportedly in great shape, although sudden illness can happen at any time - like what happened to Nicholas Parsons. Defo doesnt deserve 1st place... 1st place should be Phil (if still alive). Presuming that he isnt, 1st place should be Jimmy Carter, Leon Spinks or Alex Trebek IMO (or Roberta McCain, if DL allows her to be on the list like they did Gates Sr)
