    She was a "lovely decent" person? Where is your evidence for this? Did you know her personally? People need to get this notion of all Republicans = bad/evil, all Democrats = good/angelic out of their mind. It's spewed all over social media by younger people and it's a bias which seeps into a lot of media both in the States and in Britain. The bottom line is politics is a nasty game in this day and age. There are cranks, morons and reprobates on all ends of the political spectrum. RBG deliberately kept herself in a role which she was unable to perform the duties for because of serious health problems in order to spite the opposition. In interviews she made it absolutely clear that she loathed Trump and that she was staying to antagonise him and his supporters. Those are not the actions of a "lovely decent person". It's an egocentric game, with two opposing sides of nuts all at each other's throats and I don't think any of it is commendable. Rant over.

    I am happy to take over the totting up of scores for the rest of the year, unless anyone has any objections. It probably won't be done quickly, it possibly won't be done entirely accurately, but it will be done. This does not, I repeat does not, indicate a willingness to run it next year. I've no idea how to start a pool, I don't have the time, and I don't have enough bilious hatred of the world to give it that authentic Deathers feel.

    Do it! Your second line there is already approaching authentic Deathers indifference.

    Though that new thread is unnecessary, I do like the idea of discussing whether the record will be broken or not. We are now ahead of 2017 by about 10 days, who’s 15th hit is about a month ahead 3 years ago. However, I’m not 100% sure that it’ll be breaking the record. I’d call it a coin flip at this point. The thing about 2017 is that when the 14th hit came around, there was still many obvious dead certs still alive at that point (thinking about Downie and King Michael in particular). This year? Probably the closest to a dead cert is Leon Spinks at this point, and he’s not a guaranteed death either. Trebek’s treatment is working right now, while Tom Smith has his tumors shrunken. I think at this point those two will more likely see the year out than not (though a sudden downturn for either would not shock). Outside of that, there’s certainly potential for some of the rest (like Delors losing his wife, or Joanne Woodward feeling such a has to be this year name), but none of them are guarantees. In fact, a big reason why we’re at 14 hits today is because the old’s people lottery has been successful on this years list. I’d actually consider 10 of the 14 hits part of that old people’s lottery (even folk like Stirling Moss is part of that cause he could’ve died at any point). The four who weren’t old people’s lottery names? RBG, who people could deduce that she couldn’t really fight off her pancreatic cancer last year; Terry Jones, who while he had dementia there were some end of the year warning signs that he was likely on his way out; Genesis P-Orridge, who was really ill with leukemia; and Daniel Arap Moi, who, unlike the others over 90, had a ton of life threatening ailments at the end of last year that made him a sooner rather than later name. I’m not saying the record is impossible, it is an enema year after all, but I just wouldn’t be surprised either way with what happens.

    RBG is finally dead, I see the GOP is just as happy as I am - literally good for nothing apart from being anti-Trump for the sake of being anti-Trump. Another hit for me :^)

    Worth remembering that Ginsburg's first pancreatic cancer diagnosis happened while Obama was president and had control of the Senate. Pretty much a perfect opportunity to retire then and there. This complete clusterfuck could've been avoided entirely.

    Actually, she remained there because she wanted to kill as many babies as possible.

    I was only watching her yesterday in the 1979 remake of 'The Lady Vanishes' - funny that she was getting 'old lady' parts more than 40 years ago, though she was almost 20 years younger than May Whitty was when she played Miss Froy in the original, and only 13 years older than male lead Elliott Gould. Incidentally, I guess everyone has gone from the '38 film, now? There were no children in it as I recall.

    Opposition for the sake of opposition and self-proclaimed immortality, which led her to remain there despite the clear fact she was dying.

    It seems the human garbage that is Mitch McConnell plans to hold a vote on Trumps nominee, even though he held back Obama’s one for over 200 days because it was an election year. He really is a cunt. Perhaps a bigger cunt than Trump.

    I kinda thought Jimmy Carter might die just before the election and therefore help the Democrats win but I guess RBG could do the job instead !

    Yep. No consideration that both parts might be necessary. Morons. I'll tell you what else makes me laugh is how many dickheads you see wearing the face mask over just their mouth, leaving their nose completely out. How fucking useless is that? That's a bit like putting a condom over just your bollocks.

    Pete Murray - 95 today If he got one more broadcast on Radio Two he smash Desmond Carrington's record of the oldest codger on the wheels of steel. Anyone know how he's doing?

    Unanimous verdict for Clorox Bleachman and Book to receive points off of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Only Clorox of the two appointed her to his main team so receives 25 base points and 10 unique bonus points for 35 in all, while Book receives 50 for courting a second sub hit. And fear not, at least in the HPDP Clorox and Book cannot McConnell another pick into their teams before the year is up!

    There's this crap in the Guardian (of all places). where the chief football bod is saying the whole football world is going to be in financial meltdown if they can't fill the stadia. Words fail me. Oh puhlease. hundreds of thousands a week per player? More money than 99% of people will see in a lifetime? You can't manage that? Fuck right off.
