Fenella a hit for me and msc by the looks of it. BBC obit inevitable....

List updated for the death of Lord Vincent of Coleshill on 8 September. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-politics-parliaments-45474156?ns_mchannel=social&ns_source=twitter&ns_campaign=bbc_live&ns_linkname=5b97c735ba8717066f211d69%26Will the UK still have to pay if the financial settlement agreement is renounced%3F%262018-09-11T13%3A56%3A37%2B00%3A00&ns_fee=0&pinned_post_locator=urn:asset:00fab0f7-83f7-47e4-8ac6-422aa807eb80&pinned_post_asset_id=5b97c735ba8717066f211d69&pinned_post_type=share

Obviously. Rules are on Page 1. Have a read. At your leisure. Post post-whoring.

Many teams thought Kulsoom Nawaz was a goner. They were right. Bonuses: FujimoriNoMorey gets a pair of 8s = 10 Additional Points. Sean hits A Clubs for 5 Additional Points and gains a Pair of As for a further 10 Additional Points = 15 Additional Points total. Skinny Kiltrunner makes a Pair of 2s = 10 Additional Points. Leaderboard updated.

Might actually be better in the already existing thread. FFS. https://forums.deathlist.net/topic/655-maniacs-say-goodbye-to-richey/ (Doubt it will be actioned anyway, perhaps @Cat O'Falk would be good enough to also post the link, then maybe it shall be done). Until whenever....

The Wizard stood and laughed banally, "'Tis time," he said "for my finale!" Turned around and then dropped trou, With that, he took his one last bow. The audience - with their glassy stares, Soulless, did not see his wares. Silent, deafening applause, Came none to cheer the actor's cause. The cards lay still upon the table, The doves, once winged, to fly unable. The assistants, once flesh, blood and veins, Immobile, now skeletal remains. His bag of tricks were all but gone, There'd be no more, come one more dawn. He viewed his patrons, with salt-wet eye, Muttered, "I was good once, wasn't I?" Wrapped his cloak about his frame, And watched the theatre erase his name. For now he's played his final scene, Knowing his act was all unseen. Then with hurried, short footfalls, He took his place within the stalls. And like his fellows without number, He joined them in their sightless slumber. The magic hat fell from his head, As he joined the legions of the dead. Some will see a spirit flit about the forum from time to time. Good luck!

Unfair to leave in the middle of an update. One final act of kindness. Deathers takes it from here.

Report of the death of long term tenor for The Blackwood Brothers, Bill Shaw.

If there were too many populist picks who got massive coverage elsewhere, it wouldn't be on Radio 4. It's incredibly British.

Giving a tribute to the late Burt Reynolds on BBC News just now. Sounds on his way back from a heavy drinking session or on his way to a stroke. Gawd love him.....

Any appropriate thread...until it's the most appropriate thread? Ha! I thought someone would beat me here tbh, which is why I went to the most appropriate thread for me, where I had created a list including Liz. There ya go. Now, if the young lady would kindly stand at the board, the magician will now risk her life and limb, life and limb, ladies and gentlemen with these incredibly sharp knives. Hup! Hup! Hup! (8)

I guess we should mark the death today of Burt Reynolds here also. Although my personal favourite performance from him was in The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas.

Oh it's not that...Poker Tourney to run, etc etc. I'll be around. How's that choon go? I.I....I..... Feeeeel Freeeeee!

Taking back my three corpse lead with Burt Reynolds. YW - 11; DL - 8.

Burt Reynolds is my first death from my team for 2018 - and he was a SUB!!!! Ha!

Burt Reynolds a hit for me here. https://www.theguardian.com/film/2018/sep/06/burt-reynolds-dead-deliverance-boogie-nights-actor-movies-career

Phew looks like I just beat everyone to it! Ha! Won't be happening again, happily...

Dead on the wires. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/burt-reynolds-dead-deliverance-boogie-nights-star-was-82-831093

Peter Benson, best known for the character of Bernie Scripps in Heartbeat, reportedly dead: IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0072611/

Fenella used the old distraction technique on us as far as Carry On stars go. One of Hancock every year..... Anyway, bringing the list forward: Ray Galton (b. 1930) Alan Simpson (b. 1929; d. 2017) Andree Melly (b. 1932) Warren Mitchell (b. 1926; d. 2015) Rolf Harris (b. 1930) Burt Kwouk (b. 1930; d. 2016) Anne Reid (b. 1935) Liz Fraser (b. 1930; d. 2018)

Liz Fraser dead: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/2018/09/06/liz-fraser-big-hearted-blonde-actress-carry-films-obituary/ What a carry on.... I'll update the list presently. (18)

A bet hedge might be a hurdle too much to overcome.... (19)
