The bracket has been drawn..... proof above. Seeds were determined by the order on the first page of this thread, and the ten current games were seeded in order of the scoreboard in the previous post. Some matchups were too long for the fields I guess. So the next round will be: AltObitsGuy vs. theoldlady or BabyBlue Perhaps vs. The Killing Time Spade_Cooley vs. GuyFromFuture or LizLemon Hell vs. Gooseberry Crumble or Famous6eva Grim Up North vs. Yorkshire Banker or Death By Arsenic Captain Chorizo vs. arghton wannamaker vs. Wormfarmer or Thatcher MariNisia vs. JoeMoneypenny Banana vs. GreatUncleBulgaria or Mortal Caso Annami vs. Sideik deadsox vs. CalebH or Bibliogryphon msc vs. livingbygrace or Therewillbedeaths7 DevonDeathTrip vs. The Immortal or justonecornetto Sir Creep vs. diego An Fear Beag vs. Dying Probably or max bossetti Captain Hemlock vs. The Old Crem And future rounds will go from there... Edit: Well, I just noticed that the brackets aren't really random. It's simply 1vs32, 2vs31, 3vs 30 and so on.... It ensures that the top-seeded numbers 1 and 2 are on different halves of the board etc.... However, I will keep it as it is, lest it turns into an order that I "feel" is right. I'll try to go for something more random next year, I guess. And I am not mad with what it turned out to be.

I am once again repeating my opinion that this guy does not seem to be that much of a despot or a despot at all.

First Namibian president to die. Survived by his 89 and 95 years old predecessors Pohamba and Nujoma. Pohamba received surgery in 2022, looked quite bad on his 88th birthday last year and has been absent from the public scene for a while. Nujoma looks fine, but has been in ICU a pair of times in recent years and rumours of impeding demise float around once in a while.

Pope Sisinnius died on this day 1316 years ago, aged 58. - Sisinnius was born in what is now modern-day Syria, and his father's name was John. Not much else is known of his life before he became pope. - After Pope John VII's death in October of 707, Sisinnius was elected pope. However, there was a three-month delay between his election and consecration due to the Byzantine Empire's representative needing to confirm him to the emperor. - Sisinnius would consecrate a bishop for the island of Corsica, and ordered Rome's walls to be reinforced with limestone due to past raids. - The above two actions were Sisinnius' only things he did as pope, because he died after a three-week papacy (the fifth-shortest of any pope). Sisinnius had suffered from severe gout that affected his ability to feed himself, and during that time period, 58 was considered to be old age (instead of mid-life nowadays). - Sisinnius would be succeeded as pope by Pope Constantine.

Yes, she's out of hospital now so crisis over, thanks.

Who is not to be confused with John Paul Young, who in turn is not to be confused with Paul Young. But all are musicians

That’s Paul Jones, John Paul Jones is Led Zeppelin’s bassist and keyboardist

Mr Winstone Kodogo IIRC. You have to be of a certain vintage

Sad, but a good long life and nicely timed not to interfere with Bruce's upcoming tour. Back in 2013 I had the pleasure of seeing Bruce ignore all the girlies perched on their boyfriends' shoulders hoping to be pulled on stage to dance with him. Instead he disappeared into the wings and came back with his Mom on his arm and they danced together. One of the highlights of the show for me. Rest well, Adele, and thank you for buying your son that guitar.
