    Donald J Trump

    A lot of the mob incited by Trump keep referring to revolution. These Retrumplicans who say he had nothing to do with last week's insurrection and are voting against are the same people who that mob would tear to pieces and eradicate. They won't stop to ask which side they are on, or how they voted, they'll be killed. I'm sickened by some of the arguments put up today justifying not impeaching - McConnell even believes Trump should be impeached.

    Law And Order

    I'm sorry to hear of the death of a former colleague and dare I say friend Professor Robert Rennie: https://www.harpermacleod.co.uk/news/2021/january/a-tribute-to-professor-robert-rennie/ A consummate and learned scholar of legal practice, particularly in land and contract law, I worked with him and against him in some interesting cases. Even after I left to care for my folks, I remained in touch seeking his support as a referee for any future employment. Probably will not find anyone working in the law in Scotland who had a bad word to say about him - and I can confirm a genuinely funny and deeply passionate professional. RIP Robert.

    And again. Arthur Smith and Arthur Hoyle Smith appear to be the same guy, again marked as unique for both teams. http://www.derbydeadpool.co.uk/deadpool2021/celebs_S.html#smita2 http://www.derbydeadpool.co.uk/deadpool2021/celebs_S.html#smith9a121

    Ok another one. Judge Judy has two separate entries under Judith and Judy Sheindlin. http://www.derbydeadpool.co.uk/deadpool2021/celebs_S.html#sheindjx19 http://www.derbydeadpool.co.uk/deadpool2021/celebs_S.html#sheij0 This time marked as unique for both teams.

    Derby Dead Pool 2021

    Similar for Obituarynotice. They have two Joyce Reynolds who appear to be the same person. http://www.derbydeadpool.co.uk/deadpool2021/celebs_R.html#reynolc021 http://www.derbydeadpool.co.uk/deadpool2021/celebs_R.html#reynoljx19 In this case however, they are both marked as unique for the same team. Maybe a different Joyce Reynolds was meant for one of them?

    Sorry to be a bore but I'm trawling the lists just now. May I suggest that the John Prescott picked in in fact THE John Prescott? No More Expenses is the giveaway.

    On the twelfth anniversary of his death, it would be good to mark this thread as "dead". That's 2 x Number 6! Edit: Thanks!

    From Cleric To Relic

    Yeah, not the most liberal guy! I mean, I could play his game and say why does someone dedicated to God and being a Catholic just up and die at only "just" 70? But I won't, I'll take the high road, etc etc. Condolences are due of course. Quite the thing, seems to have attended St Mungo's Academy, becomes 40th successor to St Mungo and dies on the Feast of Kentigern, having served his 3 score years and ten. Maybe there is summat to this religion thing?

    Don't Eat The Figs has Barry Cryer twice on their team. I assume that's because they didn't make a twenty, but they'd better not get double points!

    Cricket Thread. Only Mad Dogs And Englishmen

    Someone has hinted on Twitter that Don Smith, England's oldest Test cricketer, has died. Might just be a rumour, was living in Australia?

    Derby Dead Pool 2021

    Hmm...only 19 out of 20 uniques on my main team. Others much as expected. Is there any reason why Gerry Marsden isn't crossed out yet on my Hits of 36 Years Ago team? He is marked as dead on the celeb list. Ray Jackson of Lindisfarne is marked as having been born in San Antonio, Texas, but I believe Wiki on Wallsend, Northumberland! DoB is fine. Great work though guys!
