What - the queen died??? Why didn't anyone tell us??

Telegraph death notice for Anthony Whetstone (wiki), aged 95.

The scene in question:

Just finished watching the new Knives Out sequel on Netflix and I find it absolutely hilarious that the final film role for one of the most acclaimed actresses of a generation persists of her having to explain the rules of Among Us over a zoom call to Daniel Craig while he sits in a bathtub.

After hearing his improvement and seeing that recent photo (also seen it on another article dated as 8th December), I’d now have to agree he deserves to be discarded alongside sensible drops Law, Crosby, Gambon and Berlusconi.

Sir Creep (will buy you 5 lbs coffee if any of his top 10 die) 1. Shane McGowan 2. Donald Trump 3. Phil Collins 4. Ghislaine Maxwell 5. Clint Eastwood 6. Linda Nolan 7. Billy Connolly 8. Mikhail Gorbachev @Sir CuntoHope you have donated the 235 pounds of coffee that you owe everyone in this Dead-Pool to a Food Bank this year? Lots of people in the USA are struggling right now.

Ronan Vibert, known for roles in The Pianist and Saving Mr. Banks, dead at 58

We need Diego.

He was hospitalized in the beginning of the year after suffering a stroke (which causes his left eyes to be half closed since then). He can’t walk anymore and uses a wealchair (see first photo of this page). He has lost some weight and seems pretty reddish in this last video. you can compared with this random video from 3 years ago for example. Not in the same shape.

I think he should be dropped. Firstly, so Lafaucheuse can go on one of his French nationalistic rants about French people and how big they are in France, and asking where all the French entries are. Secondly, because I think he's a weak candidate. For me, he fails every single criteria for including a nonagenarian on DL: Sounding frail/broken voice: NOPE Struggling to walk unaided: NOPE Looking pale/discolouration of the skin: NOPE Noticeable weight loss: NOPE Series of recent hospitalisations: NOPE Given that he's in his 90s, sure, he could die next year, but with 100s of names to choose from, there are far more frail octogenarians and nonagenarians that would serve a better place on DL.

Calling Edith Ballantyne Czech is a bit of a stretch. She was a Czech born German who lived in the Czech Sudetenland, and fled in 1938.(birth name Muller). After that got married to a Canadian and seem to spend most of her life on the gravy train of UN organizations living off the taxpayer in Geneva. I very much doubt she can speak Czech, she was almost certainly brought up speaking German.

Quick open the interesting threads then click read forum and avoid boring/conspiracy/Meghan/etc ones. Oh and that game about shagging which I assumed was a @Gooseberry Crumble thread on general principle!

Doctors at Albert Einstein Hospital have called family members of Pele asking them to come to the hospital.

Still alive but on oxygen and with family holding vigil. Edit:Daughter posted this on Instagram translated "Here we go in the fight and in the faith.One more night together".

I read some obituaries of the other ones and they mostly said "died after illness and treatment" or "died after illness and ineffective treatment". These are all just easy ways to be without giving a proper death cause.

My three delicious Crumble Teams have just been sent in. Many thanks for all of the teams hard work in running this pool. Confident I have put in a high quality , colourful and interesting set of names!

Gary Knafelc passed away in 19/12 at age 90. He played football and was NFL champion in 61 and 62 for the Green Bay Packers, being the 32nd of 44 team members to die both in 61 and 62, counting coaches and assistants as well, wearing the number 84 and also played for the Chicago Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers, is in the Green Bay Hall of Fame https://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/story/sports/nfl/packers/2022/12/20/longtime-green-bay-packers-player-announcer-gary-knafelc-dead-at-90/69742236007/

Let's have an update... Not the biggest four weeks in deadpooling, but a surprising amount of surprising unique hits. Jack Higgins, the crime writer, was a unique hit for the Daredevil. Already a bit ago, only now in the score. Teresa Berganza, the opera singer, was a unique hit for Great Uncle Bulgaria, well done. As mentioned by Willz, Walter Abish is a unique hit for Doulton. Destined for the DDP list of the lost, he gets the New York Times obit here. Boris Pahor was a unique hit for Kenny. 13 points are better than zero. Roger Angell, the eminent baseball writer is a unique hit for Torva Messor, well done as well! Even Lester Piggott was a unique hit, this time for theoldlady, who sadly, I haven't seen in quite a while... keltos31 gets another unique hit with former Ukranian president Leonid Krawchuk. A couple of names who are probably not going to get an obit: Dominique Marcas, Josef Abrham, Ciriaco De Mita. keltos31 suffers two non-obits in one update. Our QO sources don't really like those continental names. One score removal: Unfortunately, I think the last update gave JoeyRuss points for Natty Wailer? I have unchecked that box, so, sorry... The resulting scoreboard is this, and I hope this is everything. Next time, I'll have a more exhaustive check. And I kind of feel that the next update will have some bigger names.
