We kick off St Andrews Day with an early visit to the Card Roulette Table. The leaderboard above will be updated shortly. THIS IS ALSO A FINAL REMINDER. If you have played a Joker, you have until 23:59 GMT today to let me know. If you need help, PM me, but do not leave it to the last minute as some of these need a bit of working out.

Rob Hopcraft, a member of Black Lace during their "scraping the lower reaches of the Top 100 Singles Chart" era, apparently died back in May 2020: While the above says COVID, Wiki has it as the result of a fall. His most successful choon was the re-recording of Agadoo, which reached #64 in August 1998.

Work out the fraction then. I'm not that interested.

Maybe a quarter, if James Earl Jones and Hayden Christiansen are called? Kid who played Anakin would make it a fifth.... Anyhow, 2020 looks like it isn't over for major deaths...

Well, David Prowse was a unique hit for Perhaps here, giving his chances A New Hope. This was the card you were looking for (Jedi mind trick)! Bonuses: Straight (6, 7 Spades, 8, 9, 10 Clubs) - 30 Points Straight (6, 7 Spades, 8, 9, 10 Spades) - 30 Points Straight (6, 7 Hearts, 8, 9, 10 Clubs) - 30 Points Straight (6, 7 Hearts, 8, 9, 10 Spades) - 30 Points Total - 120 Additional Points. So, it's no Ewok in the park as the race tightens at the top, with Perhaps moving into second place and tiny points of separation, which could even change those positions at the Card Roulette Table tomorrow. As for my team, help me Obi-Wan... Leaderboard updated.

Quite clearly we are missing more famous people's dad's mothers and aunties and uncles! Committee have the inside track on all of us!

Tommy McClung, former Scotland International, died at the beginning of October, still alive at the time of posting on Wiki: https://www.scottishrugby.org/news/tommy-mcclung

theoldlady has contacted the Helpdesk and intimated her wish to convert her Red Joker to 2 Hearts. Makes a Pair of 2s for 10 Additional Points. Leaderboard updated.

Amazing what you find when doing your research for 2020. Geoffrey Kenion, who played PC Roberts in Dixon Of Dock Green and Det Con Fox in Fraud Squad, died way back in July 2020: https://www.majorcadailybulletin.com/news/local/2020/07/17/69791/rip-geoffrey-kenion-passes-aways-mallorca.html As at the time of posting, IMDB still has him alive! Did a search and doesn't seem to have been reported here before. Edit: Just checked Aveleyman too...still alive on there also.

You haven't played your Joker yet. If Prince Philip goes, perhaps revisit this decision and follow the simple guide posted earlier.

And now the state lawyers will be after Flynn and Trump for conspiracy just as soon as Trump leaves office. DJT knows how this works, right? Ha, bet he doesn't, dumb fuckup.

How did they get him to Finchley Road, London so quickly?

Wolfensohn dead already: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-11-25/james-wolfensohn-who-served-as-world-bank-president-dies-at-86 DDP Pick.

Maradona takes me up to 26 hits here.

Chap always blamed for a refereeing error, Diego Maradona has the wrong kind of by-line. Only sub hits. Guy From Future draws 8 Spades - 8 Points added. Caleb H draws K Spades - 13 Points added. The Old Crem draws 2 Spades - 2 Points added. Leaderboard updated. Only a few days to convert Jokers played...

Three folk waiting for their sub Maradona to gain a Qobit…. Update soon?

Are you saying he couldn't be saved? Like in 1986...

Is Joey D'Ambrosio dead?

Hal Ketchum being reported dead on Twittercommittee.

There's a Strictly thread @RoverAndOut and most of the early series have been done. Definitely needs updating on that thread though. Shouldn't be as much work.
