America lost its head in the 2016 election, now it has lost its conscience. And John Lewis was picked by … practically everyone, those who didn't, you know who you are. We shall still be playing Where Do You Go To My Lovely over the loudspeakers in honour of Zizi Jeanmaire, as we are not overtly political, but those who want a burst of We Shall Overcome may adjourn to our newly installed Escape Rooms to listen to it on a loop until you escape! Anyway, enough of the preamble, Joey Russ remains on top with 4 hits, and markb4 joins those of us on the leaderboard with his first hit. The following bonuses were awarded: markb4 hits an A - 5 Additional Points. theoldlady hits a Red Joker and receives the 50 Point Joker bonus. Coincidentally, she is now on the same points as Bibliogryphon, and has played the same cards as him, although with completely different hits. Spooky! Clorox Bleachman makes a pair of Js - 10 Additional Points. Leaderboard updated.

Well, this is what wakes you up when you leave CNN running on the telly. A huge loss to America.

Dancer extraordinaire Zizi Jeanmaire has pas-sed de once and but there's only spades and a Joker, no diamonds, on the table. DeathByArsenic enters the leaderboard with a first hit. Bibliogryphon leaps into a podium place, having persisted with Zizi for some years and it has paid off, hitting his Red Joker for an additional 50 Points. Leaderboard updated.

Brian Hutton, Baron Hutton, former Lord Chief Justice of Northern Ireland and former Appeal Court judge, dead: https://www.irishnews.com/news/northernirelandnews/2020/07/16/news/death-of-former-law-lord-brian-hutton-2007030/ Chaired the inquiry that deep cleaned the UK Government of any involvement in the death of Dr David Kelly. Unsurprisingly, a DDP pick.

You would think the Jack Brabham connection will get him a QO.

And the BBC - yes NEWS has a different meaning when it suits them.

Various reports comparing Madoff (who got bail) with Ghislaine Maxwell (who has been denied bail). Not comparable I'd have thought, but good to see Madoff still kicking to be in the same reports as Maxwell.
-
He's a pop star. His status is elevated simply by that dubious distinction.
-
What's the betting that, despite having died 7 and a half months ago, Paula Tilbrook still gets an obit? 3 DDP teams are going to be immensely annoyed.

If Maurice Roeves is truly dead and apparently it's been on the radio news, then he's List of the Missed material: http://www.derbydeadpool.co.uk/deadpool2010/celebs_R.html#roevem Edit: Reported elsewhere he has died.

Reports coming in on the Twitterconvention that Maurice Roeves has died. Probably the most famous Scottish actor not to be Scottish, ha! Doctor Who and Tutti Frutti incorporate his most famous roles for me. Ton of work though. Here's a pic in case you aren't familiar with the name.
