Decided to do a £1 acca for the remaining 21 games, but picking the opposite of who I think is going to win each match. Wish me fucking luck.

Vance Trimble is a hit for @Kenny, @gcreptile, @Great Uncle Bulgaria and @Daniel-San CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Dead.

I assumed, and wasn't corrected, that it was restricted to named recipients. So... 1960: Vance Trimble, Scripps-Howard Newspaper Alliance, "for a series of articles exposing the extent of nepotism in the Congress of the United States." was OK as its specifically a Pulitzer for Trimble. But... 1983: Boston Globe, "for its balanced and informative special report on the nuclear arms race." Some guy who worked for the Boston Globe in 1983 and had cancer wasn't allowed. No named recipients here, just the paper itself But I could be wrong?

Odd for any of my "just pick the oldest guy" attempts to actually work in this game.

Boris Pahor is the only one left from 1913

Vance Trimble dead at 107.

Remember your Death List friends when you win!

Very brave, the Turkish Press is celebrating the 107th birthday of Muazzez Ilmiye Cig a few days early: https://www.yenicaggazetesi.com.tr/cumhuriyet-abidesi-muazzez-ilmiye-cig-107-yasini-kutluyor-iyi-ki-dogdun--457983h.htm

Actress Cyd Charisse, one of Hollywood's greatest and iconic dancing stars of all times, died after suffering a heart attack in Los Angeles, California on this date in 2008. She was 86 years old. Her career spanned seven decades. Long-legged, seductive and sexy, Cyd Charisse gained fame starring Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire in many classic MGM musicals of the 50's. Best known for two acclaimed dance sequences, the "Broadway Melody Ballet" from the film "Singin' in the Rain" with Gene Kelly and the "Girl Hunt Ballet" from "The Band Wagon" with Fred Astaire. In 2006, she was one of the recipients of the American National Medal of the Arts in Washington. Cyd Charisse was interred at Hillside Memorial Park Cemetery in Culver City, California, following a Methodist ceremony.

Reports on Twitterpunchclock that Frank Bonner, probably best known for playing Herb Tarlek in WKRP In Cincinnatti, has died. Awaiting confirmation, but seems to have come from his daughter.

I didn't even look at the journalists, because I thought that was what "No Staff Winners" meant. So, although it's academic now, what does that mean?

Is that an attempt to tag Paul or a reference to Paul Hardcastle's 19? Basically, when Scotland actually qualified they went nuts, and the song playing on the locker room at that moment was Baccara. And of course, football fans, Scots and the internet can turn anything into a meme... Thank god they weren't listening to Barry Manilow! Or Rolf!

You are from past rather than future, aren't you?

They would be uncommon indeed.

American horse trainer, Ben A. Jones, died on this day 60 years ago, aged 78.

I hope you'll be inspiring us with your statistical analyses for many more years...

@Salmon Mousse now leads the scoreboard with 3.836 point, followed by @Bibliogryphon with 3.634 points. Third place is @TomTomTelekom, who has scored 1.826 point. (Sorry, @Salmon Mousse, but it was late yesterday, so I falsely scored Mr. Negishi for Africa, not for Asia. One point had to be removed, I apologize.)

Logan Cemetery in Utah is home to a headstone that is gaining notoriety around the world thanks to photos posted online. Aside from birth and death dates for Wade and Kathryn Andrews, the headstone displays a recipe for Kay’s Fudge. Actually it’s a great obit and greater story; I rarely advise reading obits. Do read this one. SC

Is this Tom Hanks? Why not show the picture of the actual person and not this `suspected pedo cunt?`
