It's cos I is Glaswegian, innit?

See? Everyone a mullet hairdo, even when pished I couldn't be persuaded by that!

Oh no! Ha, unlikely trio for me back in the day. I ain't telling anyway, only a one nighter before they moved on to the next gig.

Lucky! I've slept with a very famous pop star - still alive. So maybe that's why my picks tend to outlive their appearances on my lists! Ha!

You'd think so. Very much a journeyman with the band though. Saxa had an amazing record with many acts in his time and only made Other Lives. Roger died relatively young and as co-frontman there was plenty to say. Other band members went on with Fine Young Cannibals so would get coverage. But there's no denying The Beat were huge in the US as well as here and as fairly relative pioneers of the Ska/Two Tone outbreak in the late 70s, we can but hope. So many big deaths happening, this news this late on a Friday night might lead to a bit of a wait.

Budge Patty serves up a unique hit for Torva Messor, unfortunately it's not an ace: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-10074351/Budge-Patty-1950-Wimbledon-Roland-Garros-champ-dies-97.html Shuffles up from just inside the baseline. No bonuses, leaderboard updated.

Official The Beat confirmation re Everett Morton: So an update needed for the UK Singles thread.

Seemingly a reference to a FB post, Everett Morton of The Beat has apparently died: Saxa, Ranking Roger and Everett Morton all gone if true. Shocking.

Never really engaged with Scampi. The seagull I just thought was awesome.

Start thinking about some of my current picks.

If and when Rick Jones death is confirmed, he is for the List of the Missed, having been picked in 2012: http://www.derbydeadpool.co.uk/deadpool2012/celebs_J.html#joneri

Rick Jones, either a pick or a sub for me last year or the year before, Yoffy from Fingerbobs, reportedly dead: My first real TV hero. I can't tell you how sad I am to hear this. RIP. IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0429120/

It will come at an unfortunate time for the Government though. They will hang on I'd say, after all the hardest hit at the moment are the red wall seats in the North. Imagine...a North South divide under the Conservatives...an absolute shock.... Lose this and Boris may have to go....ah the dreams...

James Brokenshire's death will lead to one of those by-elections. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-58844606

James Brokenshire dead apparently:

Jerry Shipp, Gold medallist for the United States in basketball in 1964, reportedly dead: https://www.kxii.com/2021/10/08/longtime-texoma-basketball-great-jerry-shipp-passes/ Not a Scavenger Hunt pick.

I wonder if this is the death for Gerard Ryder: https://www.dignityfunerals.co.uk/funeral-notices/16-06-2021-gerard-stephen-ryder/

Not seemingly corroborated anywhere else, but reported that Gerard Ryder, best known as bespectacled Private Matthew Lilley in Get Some In, died back in June (maybe there's something on the Book of Face or elsewhere?):

Well, I have to say this is surprise. Lilly Laker, widow of cricketer and commentator Jim Laker, dead at 102: http://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/deaths/252674/laker Jim Laker died in....1986!

gcreptile has a unique hit with Chaudhri. With a Canadian. With an academic. With a little bit of blooming luck I'd say. No bonuses, leaderboard updated.

Sophie Sabbage getting closer to a QO: http://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/deaths/252665/sabbage

Nottingham born actor Patrick Horgan has reportedly died at the age of 92: https://www.soapsindepth.com/posts/abc/soap-actor-patrick-horgan-dead-at-92 Moved to the US making his name in several soaps, but a couple of notable roles on film - as Danny in The Thomas Crown Affair and The Narrator in Zelig. Having appeared in Star Trek: TOS, he's another miss for the Scavenger Hunt.

Pat Huntrods, aka Pat Fish aka The Jazz Butcher, indie popster of the 1980s mostly, reportedly dead: Worked with folk from The Woodentops and Bauhaus in his time. Apparently his death was also announced on Facebook by co-founder Max Eider.

Cynthia Harris Death Notice: https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/nytimes/name/cynthia-harris-obituary?pid=200320889

Northern Ireland born actor Gerald Home, who played Tessek- Squid Head and Captain Verrack both in Return Of The Jedi, has reportedly died: He operated the puppet Audrey II in the Little Shop Of Horrors movie, and plenty of TV character roles. Let's be honest, he'll be remembered by most for appearing in those Mr Muscle adverts IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0392935/
