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

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.

Finnish author Laila Hirvisaari (formerly known as Hietamies from 1958 to 2004) dead at 83. One of the most known authors in Finland selling over four million copies but not so famous outside of Finland and Estonia. However, some of her works have been translated to English. https://www.iltalehti.fi/viihdeuutiset/a/da749228-08c0-4d90-96ac-87b4dc1fab03 She was married to author Heikki Hietamies (b. 1933) from 1958 to 1991.

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?

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

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

He was going to sue the hospital but his lawyer said he didn’t have a leg to stand on
