Sci-Fi/Horror writer John Grant (aka Paul Barnett) being reported dead on Twitter: Co-wrote some of the Lone Wolf series and co-edited The Encyclopaedia of Fantasy.

Well I can't change the rules now, lol, all bonuses doubled on Joker. I think the issue for me is it is front loaded. If everyone started at 0 then that's easier to commence, and at the end, in comes all the bad news revamping the entire list. Which would be hilarious.

Probably. Let's just update, you can tell me what I should have done, then I can update again, ha!

Anyone got time to look through Gene Reynolds' acting credits re this thread? Because I'm getting on in years....

Snubs Pelosi's proffered handshake. Looking forward to a little red dot appearing on his forehead during the election.

Also time for @BuffaloPhil to take a new screenshot!

Right, I'm lost. The scoring baffles. Going to get even more baffling when folks start hitting 3 hits - they are supposed to get +1 for every third hit, I assume that doesn't actually mean +2? Gawd, I'm sure this worked in paddyfool's head. I'm going to have to have a bit more direction on the scoring so keep me right. Edit: Plus I was rushing going to the dentist - takes ages this does.

Now come along we all love to hear the songs:

Jerry Sadowitz reporting the death of card magician Roy Walton:

Yes it has been 40 years exactly since David Whitaker, first story editor for Doctor Who, died aged 51.

Never mind dealt with.

BoJo Blibberwimble makes his usual poor man's Michael McIntyre speech about trade "going forward" with barely a joke. References hamburgers, kebabs and moussaka for example but the only "British" thing he points to is "Scottish" haggis - which as I recall is actually Greek? Surprised he can stand so close to the lectern while still wearing those giant clown shoes.
