Poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti died on this day two years ago, aged 101.

West End Girls may not have won the main game, but it won the battle that mattered. It secured a well-deserved place in the final while Rick’s ancient meme rots forever in the junk folder where it belongs.

I couldn't make sense of your reply, until I went back to my post and saw you posted the same exact thing 15 minutes before I did. Apologies for not paying closer attention, I just realized that Sunday what the three day weekend was for. Wasn't trying to steal your original thought.

I did my best!

There wasn't even a bonus point for thanking the host - just a penalty of 2 points if you didn't! You can tell Mrs Pedro that your thanks for allowing her to enter was considered good enough for her to avoid the penalty. I did thank myself profusely for being such a wonderful host, and just an all round great guy . It was a bit sickeningly over-the-top to be honest. (I did say thanks to Clorox when I sent him my team for safe-keeping, so I figured that was sufficient for me to avoid a penalty)

She feels a very committee pick due to their love of USA Tv.

O'Connor is the first woman to sit on the Supreme Court so I would say is unquestionably notable enough. Feinstein as you say passes the fame criteria as she is a long term Senator and has been quite a presence in Washington.When she dies be it today or in 15 years she will get an obituary from all the national news sites in the UK and it will most likely be mentioned on all news bulletins of the day albeit later in the programme depending on the news on said day.

The grave of printmaker Patrick Caulfield.

Hmm - an update up to 90 then. There's about 40 living possibles from 1934 alone still. Also, the Cmme picks have opened up a few other names.(If anyone else has done a Gerald Harper and changed their public DOB - fuck them, its a ball park, not an exact science...) 1919 - June Spencer (but imo she'd have been on the list by now) 1923 - Glynis Johns (but ditto) 1924 - Eva Marie Saint, William Russell 1925 - Davie Graham, June Lockhart, mayyybe Ysanne Churchman 1926 - Roger Corman, Norman Jewison, Gudrun Ure, Lee Grant (born around then), Glen Michael (based on Cmme's love of 70s TV stars) 1927 - maybe Estelle Parsons or William Daniels 1928 - Tom Lehrer, Hans Blix, James Watson, Peter Cellier, James Ivory, Dr Ruth 1929 - Patricia Routledge, Len Deighton, Winnie Ewing, Thelma Barlow, Stuart Hall, Peter Higgs, John Nettleton, Joan Plowright, Vera Miles, Berry Gordy, Frank Gehry, John Woodvine, Jerry Hardin, Gaston Glock 1930 - Tippi Hedren, Buzz Aldrin, Gene Hackman, John Astin, Clint Eastwood, Gena Rowlands, Bernie Ecclestone, Warren Buffett, James Baker, George Soros, Eileen Derbyshire, Clive Revill, Sandra Day O'Connor, Mary Quant 1931 - Gerald Harper, James Earl Jones, Don King, Rupert Murdoch, William Shatner, Kenneth Cope, Dan Rather, Ken Bates, Virginia McKenna, Claire Bloom, Roger Penrose, Leslie Caron, Rita Moreno 1932 - Piper Laurie, John Williams, Bill Roache, Petula Clark, Roy Hattersley, Quentin Blake, Bernard Ingham, Dabney Coleman, Ray Reardon, Joel Grey, Brian Murphy 1933 - Kim Novak, Duchess of Kent, Michael Caine, Sian Philips, Joan Collins, Joan Bakewell, Cormac McCarthy, Julie Newmar, Roman Polanski, David McCallum, Michael Dukakis, Michael Heseltine, Michael Aspel, Sheila Hancock, Quincy Jones, Derek Martin, Robert Blake, Biddy Baxter, Barbara Knox

Sherman as potential pre-1930 debut choices for DL 2024.

Simone Segouin dead at 97.

In the end, it all comes down to "Bros before hoes".

Decided to give this country legend a well overdue thread, especially cause I think he could potentially make a great deathlist pick next year. With so many health issues he had to deal this past year, surely he can't live much longer, can he?

I couldn’t even last 20 seconds listening to her music

I'd add Mahathir Mohamad to 1925, got a lot of attention from BBC last year, if he keeps being a controversial powerhungry asshole maybe one day. However I don't think he'll live another year or two. But I think there's a chance he could end up on the list, atleast it at this point seems more likely than the Committee ever realizing Glynis Johns and Eva Marie Saint are still alive... From the remaining world leaders born in the 1920s I think he's also the most likely pick. Personally I don't think they'd ever pick Giorgio Napolitano, Ali Hassan Mwinyi, Tomiichi Murayama, Sam Nujoma or any of those others. Question, is there a chance they'd ever pick, for example, Paul Dooley? Katherine Jackson? Pat Robertson? Vigdís Finnbogadóttir, Isabel Peron? Edit: Sidney Cooke?

That Get Back documentary, although it clearly is "Paul is alive so he gets to decide the narrative" show, does absolve Yoko of multiple sins. It was more that George had absolutely no desire to still be in The Beatles and John really, really hated Paul ramming music hall flourishes into every song.

I think it's just been an unfortunate month for the cup's opening round to take place. There was no big name on the table at the month's start for everyone to get easy points, there weren't really any British local media stories about "guy who played for League 2 team has weeks to live", and a lot of the Drop 40 names this time out seem much more liable to drop later in 2023. Still, we have to play by the rules given so on, shall we say, the 23rd I will draw the provisional "winners" of each currently tied match. Therefore people will know if they need to start thinking about putting a team together.

With the death of Jerry Jarrett, there are only 9 promoters from the territories era of wrestling (1948 to 1995 as the most generous definition) still living: Jim Herd - Born 1939 (84) Bill Watts - Born 1939 (83) Dory Funk Jr. - Born 1941 (82) Ole Anderson - Born 1942 (80) Terry Funk - Born 1944 (78) Vince McMahon - Born 1945 (77) Carlos Colón - Born 1948 (74) Ron Fuller - Born 1948 (74) Robert Fuller - Born 1949 (73) Jim Cornette - Born 1961 (61)
