Alfie Scopp (wiki) dead at 101 according to numerous posts on Facebook and Twitter.
Depending on how quickly the media pick up on it will likely determine if he gets a QO.
If we don't get any input from Sir Creep by July 31, I will assume I am going to run the pool this year, and I will open a new thread with the title ABC Deadpool #5. Entries will be accepted until close of Aug 3rd and the points will start to accrue on Aug 4. Any deaths prior to that will need a substitute. So that will give us a few extra days to sort out who is running and who is playing. I will either post my list first thing (in code) or send it to an early entrant (I already have one person that PM'd me a list). I will post a master list within a week or so after that.
Of course if Sir Creep has plans to continue to be poolmaster, he can jump right in and set his own timelines.

Elaborate on "current immigrant situation". We don't know the extent of illegal immigration - all those landing on our shores, whether its via a first class flight or the aforementioned rubber dinghy should be afforded the same process to determine their legality.
If you'd asked for opinions on the current immigration policy, I'd say its a fucking disgrace.
Renee Simonot’s death is quite touching : besides being one of the key figures of this site since a few years and being the oldest living actress at the time of her death, her passing occured exactly while Catherine Deneuve was publicly acclaimed at Cannes. It was Deneuve’s first public appearance since her stroke last year (She looked really well btw) and everyone was looking forward to her presence. Before she knew her mother has died, she said (as it’s related in this article) that it was her most emotional Canne Festival ever : the up-and-downs must have felt terrible for her that day and It indeed must have been the most emotional festival of her Life...
I'm not so sure.
I certainly don't think masks are a magic bullet but nor do I think they are useless .
Amongst the much smaller number of people dying at the moment thanks in large measure to these wonderful vaccines are a small number of people whom the vaccine doesn't or rather hasn't worked well on or vaccine escape as some say. It has always been stated that vaccines were not a 100% guarantee but pretty damned useful for the vast majority.
I am more thinking along the lines that as the heir to the throne and a man who frankly with his beetroot colour a lot of the time doesn't look like he will live as long as his mother and may even be outlived by his mother. I thought he'd be much more on the cautious side .
I have never felt like masks or vaccines were sold to me as a 100% guarantee but rather a rather wise and good choice to make that increases the odds favourably.
I have a feeling Prince Charles will be outlived by his sister Princess Anne by many years.

I laugh at how some people on this forum believe they can accurately predict how many hits the list will have or when the next death will occur through some mathematical equation or patterns from past years. Death doesn’t happen that way!
