Italian Cardinal Renato Raffaele Martino dead at 91.

Has anyone ever explained to you that someone not finding you personally funny isn't quite the same thing as not having a sense of humour?

With the inevitable discussions about which picks should be dropped we should adapt the Kill or Save format to whittle the 45 remaining candidates down to 25

I mean, no, but I'm also not sure why you imagine that would be a dunk

I had intended to do an update as we are approaching the end of the month, but what's the bloody point. Nothing much has happened since the last one. So here's your update: A few people died None of them had a material effect on the top of the leaderboard @arghtonis still leading. Come back to me next month when hopefully we might actually have a bit of action.

Willie Sinclair Wiki, former Falkirk, Halifax, Huddersfield, Tranmere and Stirling winger, died last year. Initially, I thought he was still in Australia (due to the Wiki profile), but this article - from the Dundee Sunday Post confirmed he was now living in Fife (as of 2017) Scotland's People has this entry. Right age, right middle name and Dunfermline is in Fife. Bingo. SINCLAIR WILLIAM MEARNS 89 WRIGHT M 2023 433 / 451 Dunfermline

I just noticed that I picked Geoff Capes, but I inadvertently spelled if FRANK CAPRIO

Yes to be fair this is one of their better ones, so have left it alone till now, but my imperative was to end the game as quickly as possible whilst Emeli Sande was still in the top 5 and this was in the way. Agree about Westlife (see also Boyzone).

Get well, arghton.

Fat, frail, and French?

All the best, arghton. Kick it's arse.

Messaged you a few days ago, but error in wording on first post. You have put "between 26th of October 2024 and 1st of November 2024". Needs to be November 2025.

I mentioned shortly around six months ago that I have been diagnosed with a tumor on the head. Contrary to my neurologist's expectations, this tumor has grown a little bit, but is still very small and still does not cause any problems to me. A couple of months ago we discussed my latest MRI, my neurologist suggested surgery to me and I agreed. I will undergo surgery (craniotomy) next month. Just thought I'd mention, I might talk a bit more about this if anyone has questions on the surgery, etc.

Thank fuck for that. Now apply that principle to everything else.

Times obit for Wendy Noel, aged 95, entertainment agent. Also the "minder" of Judy Garland when she lived/worked in London... didn't do a very good job on that front.

Yeah he said the retrospective cap this year made him think he needed to be more active with charity runs despite "not being a spring chicken" or very active for his age. Which seems like a bit of an error in hindsight!

Ten Hag sacked.

So, just checking for dead pooling purposes - Joanne Arnold (94 in April) is the first surviving playmate (i.e. all those ahead of her appearance in May 1954 are dead), right? Was tempted to say she's the first one you could still legally "play" with, but thought better of it! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joanne_Arnold

Dear Americans... Quote shamelessly stolen from a BTL Guardian comment. Vote Harris.

Jeffries was quite handsome when he was younger. Then went down the plastic surgery route and now has a touch of Jackie Stallone to him.

Martin McEvilly dead at 108.

I’m skeptical. Reading up on her she strikes me as a hypochondriac/attention seeker. A read through of the “Health” sub section on her Wiki is extraordinary – she seems to have been diagnosed with several new conditions every year since 2015. I don’t believe you can be that unlucky. Just seems like bs to me. The BBC article says “although the 29 year old did not identify her conditions, she hinted in an Instagram…” and that for me is a red flag. Nobody close to her can come out and says she’s not being honest cos she hasn’t explicitly said anything.
