Breaking News: Jimmy Carter's grandson warns Kissinger is "Coming to the End"

Thanks for your patience, I appreciate you guys. Sometimes. When I was cross-checking my own score I saw a discrepancy as well. I'll take it chill for now and get back to regularly maintaining names as they come in at least every month or so. The competition won't end until December so I've got a minute to figure it out, as I see it, so no stress. The scoreboard and death log should give us a good idea of where we are in the competition. I do this for fun and I hope you guys continue to like seeing where we are in the competition. I misunderstood, you're saying I've given you too many points. I definitely will look into it! I'll give it a quick check now, if there's still a discrepancy in December make sure to give me a shout! It does look like it's Bob Barker - there were 45 hits for Bob Barker which explains how I counted your sub! Thank you for your honesty. McAlpine and Cornwell added on. My requirements are a bit different than a solid obit. They aren't what I first look for! Would you be able to check which one might be missing? Legend, giving me three names that aren't even on your list! Score Fix theoldlady -1 Anita Cornwell ladyfiona 4+1 Kenneth McAlpine ladyfiona 5+1 Bert I.

Not going to lie I was scared of what I would see when pressing on this link given the title.

Pepin the Short died on this day 1255 years ago, aged 54. - Pepin was the son of Charles Martel (famous for his victory at the Battle of Tours in 732), and after his death in 741, he was made the Mayor of the Palace of Neustria (effectively the king's manager). - By 751, the Frankish king (Childeric III) had virtually no power, and Pepin wrote to Pope Zachary regarding this; Zachary stated that the one who wields power should be the king, and Pepin therefore deposed King Childeric, forcing him to become a monk. In 751, Pepin would be elected the King of the Franks- becoming the first of the Carolingian dynasty. - As king, Pepin would focus on the expansion of the kingdom, and would go on a southwards conquest, completely driving the Arabs out of France and back into Spain. Pepin died while on campaign, and the kingdom was inherited by two of his sons- Carloman I and Charles (soon to be known as Charlemagne). - It is unknown how tall Pepin was in actuality- though his epithet has stood the test of time.

Steve Whitmire, successor of Jim Henson as Kermit the Frog, is 64. (Coincidentally, Henson would've been 87 today.)

Dr Michael Heath, the pathologist who seems to have bungled Stuart Lubbock's post mortem has reportedly died: https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/pathologist-who-missed-vital-michael-31012379

Depends on your definition of "imminent"? Based off what i've heard, I'd give him anywhere from 2 weeks to 10 weeks. Can't see him making it into next year.

Yes but the simple fact that he’s still able to take a car at 8 months on hospice care prove that his death is not imminent. He’s not bedriden for example. Prince Philip was discharged from hospital it’s another case. Here he’s still at home and clearly really week but it doesn’t mean death at all cost. He’ll see his birthday, maybe even 2024 but I doubt it (and if he does, please, put him at nº1, we do not care about this healthy DVD). or maybe this trip will have exhausted him and he’ll die tomorrow, who knows at this point with him

This cunt, who I am forced to see die in suitably gory ways every 5 fucking minutes when I’m playing Scrabble. Not to mention the Z-listers telling me, in an advert, that Royal Match is great because… it has no adverts.

You could hardly even see him in the car so it's hard to know his true physical state. To me, it was reminiscent of Prince Philip's last appearance in his escort car following his release from the hospital just three weeks before his death.
