Certainly was one to watch - dead.

Bollocks

Was going to say the first time a DQ'd pick might effect the top of the DDP, but actually scratch that - Spade's sub (musician Milford Graves) gave him considerably more points than Vivienne ever would have!

And reportedly Vivienne Player is dead: https://www.thesouthafrican.com/sport/golf/rip-gary-player-wife-dies-breaking-vivienne-player/

Rock Demers, an influential Quebec film producer for decades and director of the Montreal International Film Festival from 1962 to 1967, has died. He was 87.

You say that, although if it was anyone else you’d moan they hadn’t posted in the right thread or they hadn’t provided a link back to the original posting or some other fickle bullshit

If he pulls back 15 points from August, the rest deserve to lose in my book. Err, I mean, yes, true, but still the lesser evil imo.

Prescient as reports of Gary Player's wife Vivienne's death filter through: https://www.thesouthafrican.com/sport/golf/rip-gary-player-wife-dies-breaking-vivienne-player/

And on his way out he managed to reveal the identity of his Afghan translator, so expect that guy to be decapitated in the coming days.

Matt Marafioti, also known as ADZ124 is dead after a suicide. Younger folks probably won't remember him, but I certainly do. One of the top online players at one point, also a very troubled guy.

Exactly, unforgettable

I searched all the recipients of the Legion of Honour Grand Cross and there’s a lot who are in their 90’s now, several who will turn 100 in 2022-1923 including : - Marcel Boiteux (09/05/1922) : mathematician and economist (received it in 1992) - Claude Alphandery (27/11/1922) : resistant and economist (received it in 2013) - Jacqueline Fleury (12/12/1923) : resistant (received it in 2013) - Anne Marie Krug-Basse (24/03/1923) : resistant (received it in 1997) The oldest of them all still alive are now Pierre Soulages (24/12/1919) and Léon Cligman (26/05/1920). Maybe some good names in here for our french deadpoolers

Afghanistan's Vice President Amrullah Saleh has declared himself rightful leader of the country and vowed to fight on against the Taliban, saying he will not surrender to them or flee "under any circumstances". That sort of fighting talk might make him a good deadpool pick before too long

American actor Don Dubbins died on this day 30 years ago, aged 63.

Thanks everyone. I think thats the DDP pretty much as up to date as possible. If that doesn't jinx a deluge with my luck of late nothing will.

Bela Lugosi died on this day 65 years ago, aged 73.

Joe Walton, tight end with the New York Giants and head coach of New York Jets in the late 1980’s dead at 85. https://www.google.com/amp/s/nypost.com/2021/08/15/joe-walton-former-jets-coach-and-giants-te-dead-at-85/amp/

American newspaper publisher William Randolph Hearst died on this day 70 years ago, aged 88.

British radio and television presenter Robert Robinson died on this day 10 years ago, aged 83.

American painter Jackson Pollock died on this day 65 years ago, aged 44.

Relatively young by Deathlist standards to be honest at 82 and 88. Anyone having a scout of the past membership of Socialist Campaign Group in Labour Austin Mitchell is 85.... Anne Cryer is 80 Alice Mahon is 82 Terry Lewis is 84 Harold Bes is 82 Harry Barnes is 83 Maria Fyfe is 81 Ian Gibson is 81 Gery Benningham will be 80 later this year None really have the name recognition of your two suggestions though now we've lost Tony Benn... Corbyn and McDonnell are only in there seventies so ones for the future.... Jean Lambert who was principal speaker for the Greens is 70... Extending this to Militant - Roger Potz is now 81

Outspoken labour MP Austin Mitchell will stand down at the next election. Might be one to keep an eye on a couple of years down the line.
