That's what Celebrity Big Brother is for. Seriously, they should do a version of that show, only WITH celebrities !!

I am glad I am not the only one that thinks of YAHOO as a LOOPHOLE

His cremation is going to be for 4 hours at gas mark 7

SO does the Yahoo one - but somehow IT COUNTS.

Probably because his team (rangers) died in 2012

Watch cartoons. They are more fun. You are lucky that you live in America. At least you don't have to pay to keep these fuck-wits in luxury.

Will he get statutory sick pay if he cancels his "duties"?

Operation Taxpax

If he gets anywhere near to death's door I hope he pulls through it. Can we get Liz Truss to pay him a visit?

Was he a Jamaican or a Keen Yin?

So a story from WDAF counts because it was regurgitated on yahoo!!!! Madness !!!

Oh no he doesn't !!!!

Brand new Corpse

I dropped her from last years JOCKS AWAY team

No uniques in my main team - "Drunkasaskunk" Nine uniques in my "Desert Island Deaths" team (all picks have been the castaway on BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs) Eleven uniques on my Scottish born "Jocks Away" team

I take your point, however, I maintain that the powers-that-be have decided that (among many many more_ ) The Hollywood Reporter, CBC, Huffpost and the Chicago Tribune are NOT permissible sources, so I cannot understand why THIS LINK relating to the passing of Arthur Duncan Is NOT a QO but THIS LINK IS a QO when they are written by the same person for the same publication. Take the passing of Brian O'Donovan. THIS LINK is NOT a QO THIS LINK IS a QO Take the passing of Byun Hee-bong THIS LINK is NOT a QO THIS LINK IS a QO Take the passing of Lowell Weicker THIS LINK is NOT a QO THIS LINK IS a QO In all of the above examples the Qualifying Obituary has been copied from, word for word, and even CREDITED to, a source that does NOT count as a qualifying source.

Even more reason why (IMHO) it should be binned as a QO source. I can't see why a NON QO is suddenly and magically turned into a scoring QO just because a search engine has cut and paste an an article from it. The Hollywood Reporter, CBC, Huffpost and the Chicago Tribune are NOT permissible sources of a QO. I can not understand the logic of allowing articles that have been copied from them and harvested for a search engine - albeit a supposed UK search engine - are deemed to count. It seems that a copy is of more value than the original !

I just hope that uk.news.yahoo.com 's sweeper-bot doesn't regurgitate (a polite way of saying COPY & PASTE) a non qualifying obit and turn it into a QO. If so it will illustrate, yet again, why IMHO uk.news.yahoo.com needs to be removed as a QO source UNLESS IT IS AN ORIGINAL ARTICLE written for the site.

And this is exactly why it should be the mainstream media that decides (by publishing the requisite mention of their death) rather than some bloke sitting in his y-fronts eating a box of coco pops without milk. (oops - I forgot I moved the mirror !!!!!) https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/disability-sport/60508601 https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/01/sports/bibian-mentel-dead.html https://www.nbcsports.com/olympics/news/bibian-mentel-paralympic-snowboarding

Am I missing something here? How can a "pick" be rejected? Surely they get a QUALIFYING obituary or they don't? Let us face it, it isn't you or I that makes someone newsworthy - it is the press / media. I have seen that - for some unknown reason - FRANK CAPRIO - a guy who has his own TV show and that I have heard of in the backwater of England (OK - SCOTLAND!!!!) So why ( and by whom) was he rejected? How the fuck was Tim Bilton, rejected yet replaced with Christoph Daum? What makes one more Pick-worthy (sic) than the other? I have always maintained that the media / Press should be the arbiters. If a headline says "mum-of-three, 26, dies days after ‘Brazilian bum-lift’ surgery in Turkey" then, they are clearly., NOT FAMOUS (otherwise it would say "singer / film director / former NATO President, 26, dies days after ‘Brazilian bum-lift’ surgery in Turkey") Why was Theo Burrell, an expert on a TV programme watched by MILIONS of people rejected but a ( and I quote) "A Jew who posed as Hitler Youth to survive war" was allowed as a scoring pick (https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/11/world/europe/solomon-perel-dead.html) How often does the bloke or blokes that have the power of veto actually win this game? I might start my own game. All you have to do is pick 20 celebs aged under 25 - while I can pick people aged over 100. FUCKING MADNESS.

ah. I get it now. The modern day Vitas Gerulaitis meets Mollie Sugden team

For the benefit of those of us who have no idea what "David Gest's aged-like-milk tour" means, can you elaborate? Thanks
