    Grave is the Best Receptacle American country star Toby Keith, known for hits such as "American Soldier", "American Ride", "Made in America", "Drunk Americans", "Happy Birthday America", "America the Beautiful", "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American)", and "Live Introduction by Toby of Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American)", has died of Americancer at the age of America. An Inverse Dead Pool 2024 debutante, he was a natural fit among some familiar faces, including Donald Trump, for whom he performed at the "Make America Great Again! Welcome Celebration"; Willie Nelson, with whom he recorded the song "Beer for My Horses" and starred in the film "Beer for My Horses"; and Janey Godley, with whom he feuded during her spell in the Dixie Chicks. So who shouldn't've picked a cowboy? Players were almost evenly split between Toby or Not Toby – a divide in attitudes between "well, he's still performing" and "yeah, but looking like that". Among those on the losing side of that divide are 2023 Inverse Dead Pool champion @tracy, who gains 9 points – which, sadly, is 8 more than their 2023 winning score – and returning 2022 Inverse Dead Pool champion @YorkshireBanker, who gains 19 points – which, happily, is 8 less than their 2022 winning score. In fact, all of last year's top 5 have points raining down on them: @LizLemon (6 points), @Perhaps (3), @diego (17), and @gcreptile, who gets the biggest boot in the ass of all – 23 points, and my mum's last place spot.

    Lost Property Jonnie Irwin, known for hosting real estate shows such as A Place in the Sun and Escape to the Country, has fallen off the property ladder at the age of 50. A presenter of various lifestyle shows before life ceased to be his style, he became home to a tumour in 2020. Originally consigned to A Place in the Lung, the cancer ultimately decided to expand its portfolio and move abroad to other organs. Did anyone actually pick him? Well... This is an Ir-win for 56 of you, but an Ir-loss for my mother, who gains 16 points. Obviously a huge upset for our top seed. GAINED TOTAL = 1. CaptainChorizo 0 = 1. livingbygrace 0 = 1. TQR 0 = 1.

    Marita Camacho Quiros (former First Lady of Costa Rica) voted in the April 2022 presidential election at the age of 111. I’m not sure if she’s the oldest to ever vote but definitely up there https://m.facebook.com/story.php?id=1010547626&story_fbid=1395374867588006

    Surely the last thing the Conservatives need now is an election in Scotland before the Westminster one. They must be facing the prospect of huge losses of MSPs because IIRC they did quite well last time

    Overall it's an half-decent top-10. Only one crap one left. Sure I'd like to have seen Kelis, CBR, Daft Punk & Cor Blimey Nash still in play but it could certainly be a lot worse.

    Ukrainian Mykhaylo Fomenko has died aged 75. He is the first Euro 2016 coach to die. As a player, in 1975 he won the UEFA Cup Winners Cup and the UEFA Super Cup with Dynamo Kiev, and in 1976 he won the Bronze medal with USSR at the Olympic Games.

    Tubi (a free-with-ads movies/TV app I've used a shitton ever since I moved out) has a British TV section so I've watched the odd Britcom in recent months. Dad's Army hasn't cropped up on it yet, though I'd definitely check it should the opportunity arrive. I quite liked The Vicar of Dibley and Trevor Peacock's nonononononono.

    Before I get on with the actual updates, I've got one more stats post for you. First of all, here's the average points per team each celebrity received: 1 Joe Biden 21.70 2 Donald Trump 20.54 3 Michael J. Fox 18.72 4 Andy Taylor 17.40 5 Billy Connolly 15.81 6 Clint Eastwood 15.75 7 William Shatner 15.44 8 Ozzy Osbourne 15.32 9 Buzz Aldrin 14.05 10 Janey Godley 13.91 11 Phil Collins 13.07 12 Bruce Willis 12.40 13 Dick van Dyke 11.77 14 Robert Wagner 10.47 15 Prunella Scales 9.37 16 Pope Francis 9.19 16 Rupert Murdoch 9.19 18 David Attenborough 8.19 19 Willie Nelson 7.93 20 Mel Brooks 7.32 21 Tim Bilton 6.60 22 Toby Keith 6.05 23 Yoko Ono 4.51 24 Dave Myers 4.09 25 Erik Jensen 3.86 26 Shannen Doherty 3.53 27 Linda Nolan 3.21 28 Paul Spencer 2.58 29 Cleo Laine 2.47 30 Denis Law 2.12 31 Bob Newhart 1.96 32 Dennis Skinner 1.93 33 Patrick Murray 1.77 34 Roberta Flack 1.58 35 Eva Marie Saint 1.44 36 Theo Burrell 1.35 37 Stanley Baxter 1.23 38 Frank Caprio 1.19 38 Frank Field 0.77 40 June Spencer 0.70 41 Esther Rantzen 0.68 42 James Whale 0.65 43 Michael Tilson Thomas 0.63 44 Rob Burrow 0.61 45 Joanne Woodward 0.51 46 Nigel Starmer-Smith 0.49 47 (Wildlife) Simon Cowell 0.47 48 Jonnie Irwin 0.28 49 Noam Chomsky 0.14 50 Jimmy Carter 0.02 51 Steve McMichael 0.00 Using these numbers, I've calculated all of your most outlying opinions. In the table below is an alphabetical list of Inverse Dead Pool 2024 players. Next to each player, there are two celebrities, each with two numbers in brackets – the first number is the number of points the player has assigned that celebrity, and the second number is the gap between that number and the celebrity's average points value. The celebrity on the left is the celebrity whose points from that player are farthest ABOVE the celebrity's average points value (i.e. the celebrity whose survival that player is most disproportionately invested in). The celebrity on the right is the celebrity whose points (or lack thereof) from that player are farthest BELOW the celebrity's average points value (i.e. the celebrity whose death would probably be most beneficial to that player). This player... Is relatively confident in... And relatively wary of...

    Yousaf likely did the right thing, though the choices weren't attractive. Giving a deal to Alba would have been giving legitimacy to an outfit so low in the Scottish polls they often get classed with "others" - likely to be a bit scrappy in that territory for a wee while now!

    Okay, good point - summat of a pile on, though maybe once he's gone and the problems remain it'll make it harder for any racists to throw that particular angle into the discussions.

    My post earlier wasn't that his resignation was being promoted by racist bots more that people were focusing very much on his race when responding to his resignation, in particular there was one phrase that kept cropping up which made me think it was a campaign. One post seemed to link his resignation to promote Susan Hall's London Mayor campaign by making a connection between The First Minister and the incumbent mayor (and they weren't suggesting that a woman should be in charge)

    Just to be clear on this, this isn't a direct confirmation from anyone who knew him. I pieced this together based on known details about his life, and used GRO/Ancestry to check if anyone matched. Someone died on 16th April 2021 that matches every known detail about Cat O'Falk, and there are enough details present that I'm 99.9% confident. I won't reveal the name here as he himself seemed to prefer anonymity, but if anyone here closely knew him and does have a name for him, I'm happy to PM the name I have for confirmation. I'm happy to assist if anyone has any other members they're concerned may have died, on the basis that I think it's better to have transparency than eternal limbo. Cat O'Falk is a sad reminder that cancer does not discriminate, and makes no exceptions for the nice people in the world.
