Sturgeon telling us restrictions in place for more time to come.

Aha, well I couldn't get to the Main Page as I suspect it was being edited. It's the link on the Scoreboard page which is taking us to the old rules and scoring page, so that needs changing.

The rules and scoring page I'm getting seems to the one from 2018, but I do think the Herald counts this year. @msc will surely confirm.

The Herald is a QO for Johnny Harris isn't it? https://www.heraldscotland.com/opinion/18376003.obituary-johnny-harris-one-worlds-greatest-musical-arrangers/ Deffo helps down the Hares Pool.

Well, we got as far as "do you keep in touch with any of the others" to which Roy says "oh yes but we are spread far and wide, Spain, up North" and instead of pressing the point off they go at a tangent! Apparently they get together every so often, sans the deceased Potter. But no idea which one or more is in Spain!

Listening to an interview at the moment with Roy Hoather of The Naturals. I'm excessively interested, given their relationship with Brian Epstein and their cover of The Beatles' number, which I'd say is a great if not superior version, full of drive and enthusiasm! Heresy, I know, right! I've found print interviews everywhere, not one giving a hint of their ages. Not only that, but even though they were all from Harlow New Town, they weren't pals but a disparate group which sort of coalesced together. So they were hardly likely to chat about ages, long enough together to buy birthday presents I'd have thought.

Bands at The Great Gig in the Sky
YoungWillz replied to Joey Russ's topic in DeathList extra-curricular
I don't know enough about the distinction to make a call Joey, Toast may be right. If there's enough of a difference, the similar titles going to be confusing, and the current one here is practically unsearchable, "gig" and "sky" not going to help, so you are left with "great". -
Tommy James and The Shondelles. George Magura seems to have been born (perhaps) in Greensburg, Pennsylvania as Juraj Magura. He was a music major at Latrobe at the same time as Joe Kessler (history major) and Ron Ransom so they are probably of similar age. In the 1970s he was in Pittsburgh playing in bands. He seems to have died aged around 47, so probably early 90s, possibly in Los Angeles while working with John Williams. All the comments here: https://www.songfacts.com/facts/tommy-james-the-shondells/hanky-panky Not sure what happened to Joe Kessler. Vincent Pietropaoli seems to have been living in the St Louis area in the 1990s: https://www.facebook.com/ShBoomBand/posts/tbt-march-1999-vinnie-pietropaoli-the-drummer-for-tommy-james-the-shondells-perf/10153104317604112/ How many Pietropaolis who lived in Penn State made their way to St Louis? Maybe he's traceable through census records. All I got on the missing bods, all of whom were excised post Hanky Panky.

Jimmy James And The Vagabonds. I feel your pain. Phil Chen went on to be in The Doors, he has a facebook page and a Wiki of his own, all of little assistance except he was born in Jamaica and now lives in Los Angeles. Little more on Carl Noel however. His father was Cyrus Noel and his son is Jeremy (born 1967, where, who knows, probably the UK), Jeremy having been adopted and known as Jeremy Jobson. https://jeggmusicandsound.co.uk/page6/Music/index.html and https://jeggmusicandsound.co.uk/Bio/index.html Unsure if Carl Noel was born in Trinidad as per Cyrus' place or origin or Jamaica. Nothing else despite a couple of hours search.

Nobody really knows, ha! At the end there will be adjustments for various bonuses. All depends on the total horror of death for 2020. I thought this would be a nice easy game to run, turned into part time job!

These figures aren't including community deaths. Government suppressing the daily figures, expect a huge jump mid-week. How many folk who live on their own will be discovered dead in their homes for weeks or months after this? While millionaire Blibberwimble took the NHS bed.

Sent home. After seemingly infecting some of his cabinet and his Chief Medical Officer, his delay and herd immunity and failure to adequately PPE folk up leading to deaths, watching the guy in the next bed to him die while he is fussed over.... Any other leader in any other time would be gone. But gawd love the British, they do like their clowns....

Still not sure why you persist in picking Budge Patty. Pick for Book. Will you just for the love of god read the names picked for each year and avoid them.
