And now, no longer dead but alive: https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/139417/correction-guy-edwards He is risen, hallelujah! (Picking him for next year though now).

Dead: https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/139408/exf1-racer-guy-edwards-dies-aged-75

Katy Manning is 72 today.

Happy Birthday to Margo Epper. Differing ages from sources, but hoping she has a great day.

Two and half months. And they are already writing off the hundreds of other teams in the competition because they believe only 3 can win. Lawdy.

It did. Meantime, Marie Osmond is 59 today!

Paul Simon is 77 today! I'm still going to call him Al....

*chuckles* Surely the secret is to pick at least one cancer ridden young lady with no Wiki page. You can have all the analyses you like, all the stats you want. I hope to live to see the day a winner wins without one of these dames. Meantime I'll putter along with people I heard of and who will be missed outside of elites, cliques, family and friends. Because I will miss them...famous or infamous.

The Midge gets her Obit: https://www.theguardian.com/education/2018/oct/12/mary-midgley-obituary More pointage for Biblio, no bonuses, leaderboard updated.

Hmm, for a newbie you have some inside info. Ha! A. I never said I didn't enjoy caretaking the Hare's. I rather liked it. B. I never said I was quitting the Forum. I won't and can't be around as much (health reasons) and there are issues I have with some posters. Never the Deathray though, I have always liked him. Despite appearances. C. I did send a PM. Told DR to take it back. DR grabbed with both hands. Here's some excerpts from the exchange: YW: Regain your pool for fear it will fall into the pit of despond...... YW: Stay busy, stay well and thank you for letting me be temporary custodian of your game. DR: I hope your not leaving the forum, it's only going to get worse losing the decent posters like yourself. YW: I'll still be about, but I'm going to be a bit more selfish (like many on this forum). I don't mind posting the whole exchange, for I simply have lost interest in the office politics. Consider yourself factually corrected. Now if anyone has anything actually valuable to add to this thread like missing obits or a death I've missed, let's get back on track.

Yeah, and this moron did a better job than you of running your own pool,. So what are you? (There, I've entertained you enough).

Sorry, no Jokers allowed.

While I'm about. Midgley hasn't got a fairly swift obit as yet. Bibliogryphon awaits a hit with her to boost him up the board, meantime, the chairman of the board Doug Ellis gives him a nice hit. No bonuses, leaderboard updated.

Reports indicate Parkinson's.

Twitter bods announcing that Duncan Johnson has died aged 80:

87 year old Belfast born James Greene, in things from Colditz, Mapp And Lucia, Chocky, Doctor Who, etc etc looking extremely well on Doctors this afternoon.

Makes it to 51.

Nicola Bryant is 58 today!

And Mary Midgley. Double on the same day. I'll wait for the Midge's QO to come through....

Phantom of the Midway and Captain Chorizo both turn up different coloured Jacks now that Allcock has his obit. No Bonuses, Chorizo leapfrogs Sir C into a podium place. Joey Russ had Allcock as a sub and draws Q Spades = 12 Additional Points. Leaderboard updated.

Maartin Allcock's Obit: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/2018/10/10/maartin-allcock-guitarist-fairport-convention-jethro-tull/ Update to follow shortly.

Twitter is murdering Alan Greenspan presently..... Wonder if it's true...
