As usual, I'm posting this on behalf of a valued Inverse Dead Pool regular – it's the 2024 machotrouts' mum team: Dennis Skinner Michael J. Fox Janey Godley Joe Biden Yoko Ono Phil Collins Robert Wagner Dave Myers Bob Newhart Jonnie Irwin Buzz Aldrin Frank Field Bruce Willis Dick van Dyke Esther Rantzen William Shatner Joanne Woodward Mel Brooks Andy Taylor Prunella Scales Linda Nolan Roberta Flack Eva Marie Saint Shannen Doherty Rob Burrow SUB: June Spencer As scientific as all of her previous teams. Dennis Skinner is #1 because "aww, he was my nan & granddad's MP, I'm not having him dying".

Totally random but thought I'd share. Was copied into this photo earlier today. Charisma Records five-a-side team from just over 50 years ago. Phil Collins in fine shape, the two standing next to him are members of the band Capability Brown, the guy front left is the label's booking agent and the one bottom right is Peter Hammill (still recording aged 75 and obitable).

This line-up, apparently, were very effective and won a few games with ease.

Frankly this is a dire substitute for entertainment, over a week since a scoring death unless someone hereabouts is about to show me action from their local paper posting the death of a beloved school crossing guard who's also on the masterlist. I'm seeing similar lacklustre times on the other dead pools and even the DDP is shuffling along. In the meantime, here's a update from our sponsors, or summat.

From what I actually researched, Fada Santoro is the oldest Brazilian actress still alive, born in Rio de Janeiro on Aug 29, 1924 The oldest living Brazilian actor as far as I have seen is Pedro Farah Farnetto, born in Rio de Janeiro but his date of birth is incorrect on Wikipedia, he was born on 4/Jun/1926 but was registered on 22/Jul/1930 (on Wikipedia it is as born on 22/Jul/1929) (wiki) according to this source:https://www.elencobrasileiro.com/search?q=pedro+farah+farnetto
