Feliz Navidad and all that rot. Have a lovely time.

Astonishing. Johnny Isakson QO already: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-10326305/Johnny-Isakson-former-Georgia-Republican-U-S-senator-dies.html

Mwahahahahaha. Sorry, only minutes.

Johnny Isakson being reported dead. Link is GDPR so no chance of reading it by me. Pool pick in many places, including the DDP.

Report from a seemingly pristine source that Tam Harvey, who co-founded The Humblebums with Connolly, has died:

Report of the death of Wanda Young of The Marvelettes: https://www.udiscovermusic.com/news/wanda-young-marvelettes-dies/ I mean we all know Please Mr Postman, but not a hit in the UK for the group. Their only UK Chart entry @Ulitzer95 hit #13 in July 1967 with When You're Young And In Love.

Well, Pinochet's widow has gone chilly. But still life in this game! Lucia Hiriart is hit for Caleb H. No bonuses. Also a sub for Baby Blue who draws 5 Spades for 5 Points added. Leaderboard updated.

Boris would like to thank Truss for the support.

Well, Motsi Mabuse was out with a poitive test a couple of weeks ago so all better now. OOPS! The curse of 2021 continues as finalist AJ Odudu is now on crutches after sustaining a foot injury, which might make this a bit of a shitty final this Saturday if she doesn't recover: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-59664148

The people on my Deathlist Prediction team should all make the list for 2022. Just saying... Look, the Deathlist bods will decide themselves, and they won't need good pick bad pick or wtfs in January. It'll happen and we shall be astonished at their perspicacity.

Better known in the US, Joe Simon, R & B Singer reportedly dead: https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/joe-simon-dead-1235010357/ Bit of a discrepancy in ages between Wiki and the report however the songs are the same. EDIT: According to Twitter he died on 13 December (report from daughter). @Ulitzer95, he did however make one indent in the UK Chart with Step By Step, reaching #14 in July 1973:

Enuff said above. Steve Bronski gets a full Telegraph Obit, the first full obit I have seen: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/2021/12/14/steve-bronski-keyboardist-bronski-beat-trio-created-landmark/ Sometimes it's better not to know the cause of death. As the year moves on, this is a year I will not forget.

I've looked for Denis O'Dell before. There's some suspicion I recall that that was a stage name, at which point I threw my hands up and gave up. That really annoyed me given he's mentioned in You Know My Name (Look Up The Number), ha! I may venture into this nightmare again sometime soon. But I wouldn't be picking him for anything.

Kangol Kid (Shiller Shaun Fequiere), member of UTFO, suffering with colon cancer: https://www.soultracks.com/story-kangol-kid-ailing Better known in the US, the group only hit #72 in the UK back in 1985 with Roxanne Roxanne.

I think a fortnight from date of publication of the list of celebrities is quite sufficient for the Committee to be notified of any changes. Especially where there are two folk of the same/similar name...one dies and the other is named, so in steps the player to say oh yeah, I meant the dead one. What, in fucking June? NAWWWWWWW! I'd say you have a limited time to ensure your team is correct otherwise you live with the team you're given. There's also plenty of eyes here on the list watching for duplications etc.

Apparently, Meryl Streep's type is Stage Left Method Cancer.
