German film director and screenwriter Wolfgang Becker, famed for Good Bye Lenin! reportedly dead: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/wolfgang-becker-dead-goodbye-lenin-director-1236086288/

You do one Coldplay video in your back garden, next thing you know you are being burned out of your home. A lesson there. The shock could kill him...lol.

I picked Norvelle for three years running after his appearance on Celebrity Pointless in 2019. He did not appear well then. Lest we forget, he was a straight man who pretended to be a gay man for money. Once the great British public found that out, his popularity and national TV appearances dried up like a cow pat in the sun. The public are less fond of your out gay man, in general imo they love an obvious flappy wristed screaming queen. Hence we are landed with the likes of Alan Carr, Graham Norton, etc etc filling our screens for what seems like an eternity. It took decades for the likes of Ian McKellen to be an accepted face of the community, for example. When Norvelle was outed as straight, he was relegated to pantos, pubs and clubs, precisely because he thought he could get away without being found out. Anyway, just my opinion. That and his limited repertoire was always likely to die on its arse very quickly.

Actually Julian Spear. And played clarinet for some big movies, so not an unknown relative: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1885669/

I did and I do. Having lived under both regimes, it annoys me when they are not separated.

Former Leeds rugby league player Syd Hynes reportedly dead aged 80: https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/leeds-rhinos-mourn-death-of-legendary-former-captain-and-coach-syd-hynes-4904831 Played for England and Great Britain at international level. So appropriately, he died in Australia.

The Indians Are Going! Rocky Colavito has run for home and The Curse Of Rocky Colavito is complete. The baseball player was an actual hit for Perhaps, who slides without being caught into third place. If only those dead subs had been main team hits, eh? Leaderboard updated, no bonuses.

George Joseph Kresge (Kreskin) QO: https://uk.news.yahoo.com/amazing-kreskin-master-mind-games-033127358.html

He is an assassin. Assassination thread severely underused in my humble.

Report of the death of Lenworth Green aka Lennie De Ice, breakbeat hardcore producer responsible for one of the early foundational choons for Jungle music We Are I.E. : A remix of the number hit #61 in the UK Charts in April 1999, around 10 years after its first production.

Bloom-ing heck, Yarrow's done for, Doctor! Actor and screenwriter Arnold of the Yarrow has become an ex-Exxillon at the age of 104. Death is a Z as they say, but hits for Bibliogryphon, Ladyfiona and diego to name but three, who all advance their positions except Ladyfiona still firmly ensconced at the top of the board. Bonuses: diego makes a pair of 2s for 10 additional points and with their existing pair of 8s gains a further 15 Points for two pairs. Perhaps gets yet another sub hit (ever thought of putting these guys in your main team?) and draws 6 Diamonds for 6 added points. Leaderboard updated and will be brought forward on the next hit..

Gerd Heidemann QO: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/2024/12/10/gerd-heidemann-reporter-hitler-diaries-fiasco-died-obituary/

Apparently in a stable condition round Christmastime. Mind you, so was Jesus, and look what happened to him!

Ok, so all we have for now is the above. Toby Hadoke has not heard anything he can confirm for now, but admits that doesn't mean it is not true. Remember, no obits, no points and no idea.

Worries about a QO were unfounded: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articles/cd9xq5y2l22o

Topping and tailing 2024 with Tony Lloyds. The MP died way back early this year. Now Tony Lloyd, Baron Lloyd of Berwick, a Law Lord, reportedly dead: https://members.parliament.uk/member/2052/career Sometime supporter of disgraced cleric Peter Ball.

I think so. Israel have moved in with their forces. The US reportedly carries out precision bombing. Way to go to win over the rebels, a proscribed organisation. Carved up like the Balkans? A ruling bunch of ragbag rebels? How about those Kurds, who have been attacked by everybody since at least when I was at Uni? Game of Risk, anyone?
