Not so much "Is he a shoo in" as "how high on the list will he be?" Top 3 imo.

Happy Birthday. 95 Today.

Maartin Allcock's Obit: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/2018/10/10/maartin-allcock-guitarist-fairport-convention-jethro-tull/ Thanks to YW for posting this on the Poker thread. That's two Al(l)cock hits for me this year in this Pool.

Phantom of the Midway and Captain Chorizo both turn up different coloured Jacks now that Allcock has his obit. No Bonuses, Chorizo leapfrogs Sir C into a podium place. Joey Russ had Allcock as a sub and draws Q Spades = 12 Additional Points. Leaderboard updated.

Apparently not. Married Sheldon M Silverstein, not Sheldon A Silverstein. http://www.glamourgirlsofthesilverscreen.com/show/553/Celeste+Yarnall/index.html https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shel_Silverstein Sheldon M about 3 years younger by the looks of it.

Added. Also means you leap-frog 5 players up the leader board. Apologies for missing it out first time round.

And say; "we never did it like that!"

I wonder how his death would affect the mid term elections.Would it help republican turn out or would the contrast between him and Trump, made clear by the inevitable eulogies praising his greatness, boost the democrat turn out ?

I'll assume 'Carkin' on GUN's is 'Cardin', though that is a truly poor omen.

Ahem, so as you can, there hasn’t been an update for a while. On the one hand, there has only been two joker deaths since I last did an update: John McCain and Montserrat Caballé. However, that’s not the reason why I haven’t done an update for a while. Without going into detail, there has been some aspects of my personal life that needs to be taken care of instead of this pool at this point and time. And, as you all know, I’m running both the Advent Avalanche and taking over the Crowdsource List starting this November, and when that time comes, I’m going to put a lot of focus on those pools instead of this one. So, there’s a good chance that there won’t be another update until after the new year. I will make sure that I close this pool before the first DDP update of the year though. And as such, this will be the final call for anyone willing to take over this pool, otherwise, this will slowly sink into the dead pool abyss...

Kudos to deadsox and drol for having the duo of Celeste Yarnall.

'As always if there's anything you think needs fixing let me know below and I'll amend it when I can be arsed (probably the next update)...' Can you add me a Dennis Norden score when you do get round to it Deathray, please and thank you :-)

Oh boy, am I going to catch it for this with so many who'ers on here...... nvm, fortune favours the brave... Or even a dedicated Dr Who thread that I can then put on ignore. Ducks.

See they managed to ensure his left hand was in front of her

Wonder if Kate and Gerry snuggle up together and watch The Cry on a Sunday night?

Yeah right, and I’m Pope Francis...

I tells ya, 2004 was hard for me. The doctor says to me "you'll be back to your old self tonight, I promise." I says "fantastic". He says "yeah, dying in front of a small crowd waiting for you to get off." I gets no respect, I tells ya.

I plumped for Leslie Phillips again

The Odeon in my town was robbed last night of £754. The thieves took some M&Ms , Doritos, a hand full of pick n mix and a large drink...

My daughter told me she’s afraid of the dark I told her, Wait till you start paying for electricity and you’ll be scared of the fucking light!
