If I had £1 for every time I've looked up a former 110 Club member and found hard evidence that they're not a virgin on Twitter, I'd have £2. You'd be surprised. But I think lay_kulast is going through the 'girls are gross' phase.

Has been in hospital for 18 days. Currently "recovering".

Tell us you're a virgin without telling us you're a virgin.

Sister in law Angela Chao dead at 49 in traffic collision. Daughter of decrepit James S.C. Chao and sister of Elaine Chao.

Datta Gaekwad dead at 95.

@Toast I think S Club 7 should be at …. 7

You should go beyond money and have him bet something really valuable like his collection of Magic: The Gathering cards......

I’m afraid so.

HELP! I must confess I am at a loss here. I realize I had neglected to update this pool for the last couple of months, partly because the hits seemed so few I thought it would be easy to catch up. But now, as I attempt to do so, I cannot for the life of me find my scoring page. It was in the first 3 or 4 posts of the thread, but I have searched this whole thread several times and it appears to be gone. Unless there is a hide feature that I am unaware of? I really dread going back through the obits all the way to last September to redo it. I don't even have the hours it would take. So unless someone can help me recover the lost scoring post, I am going to humbly try to do this another way. Near the end of the game, Aug 31, would everyone that is playing please post in this thread, your own score, and the hits you had to earn it. I will double check the leaders and those within striking distance to make sure we have the correct winner. Unusual, I know, but hugely helpful in this circumstance. Hopefully most teams are keeping loose track of their own scores anyway. Here is an example of a simple post (of my current score) that would make my life easier . . . . Wormfarmer - 9 pts, Tweedale/Draper/Latour

String it out, make the most of it; next round is hooooge.

Please, no-o-o-o!

If it were a choice between Susan Hall and almost anyone else the answer would be anyone else. Even if Mr Blobby was the other candidate that Pink and yellow fuck would get my vote

The Tory candidate is about as hopeless as your predictions.

Annette Crosbie, Victor Meldrew’s wife, turned 90 today. Probably doesn’t want to live to be 100…

You made a funny? Nah.....

The FT have done a graph of MPs standing down from each party and it's clear that many Tories believe they have no chance, and/or don't like the concept of being in opposition, so they are far ahead of other parties. If the Tories did manage to pull off a win with this setup, then they will have an even more inexperienced bunch to choose from (bearing in mind they believe appointing Cameron to the Lords to be Foreign Secretary was better than choosing from the 350 odd existing MPs).

American child actor Dix Davis (Wiki), known for his appearance in Our Gang film series dead at 97

Absolutely. With all the great picks this year, I was beginning to convince myself that the committee knew something we didn't know about Robert Wagner, but he'll probably just be picked until he dies... which I don't see happening this year.

Just been here, south of the south. The waves are fierce.

American actress Lynne Marta (Wiki), who appeared in movies like Footloose and Joe Kidd dead at 78

Fun fact: played Majikthise in the 1981 television adaptation of the Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy. RIP.

Andre Braugher, Frank Pembleton on Homicide: Life on the Street and Raymond Holt on Brooklyn Nine-Nine, dead at 61.

Was the last living acting Oscar nominee of 1955 (first year of that decade with no survivors left). Outlived her twin Pier Angeli by 52 years.
