Gulag the additional unnecessary thread.

88 today!!!!

Away in the sky, beyond the clouds, live 4 or 5 Magicians. By casting wonderful spells they turn the Most Ordinary DeathList into a Magical DeathList. If you let yourself go, the Magicians will take you away to marvellous places. Maybe you've been on a Magical DeathList without even realising it. Are you ready to go? Splendid!

Looks like Fredd Wayne is dead: Wiki.

Reports of the death of British songwriter Tony Hiller aged 91:

Anna Teluren is a unique on this pool. One team has Booked some points....

Good enough, I'll update my list tomorrow.

Ah those heady, pre-this weekend days......

Charlie Rowley is unwell: https://metro.co.uk/2018/08/26/novichok-victim-charlie-rowley-is-fighting-for-his-life-in-hospital-again-7883048/

Possibility of a sex scandal perhaps? The puppets on the advert for Wonga are asked to point to a human and say where the CEO touched them.....

Former Lord Advocate and judge of the Supreme Courts of Scotland, Lord Donald Mackay, Baron Mackay of Drumadoon, has died aged 72: http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/thetimes-uk/obituary.aspx?pid=190050625

For some reason I didn't predict Simon, so the inevitable climb back by the Committee starts here: YW - 10; DL - 8.

A few teams including me had Neil Simon as a main player, so there's some shuffling around. Bonuses: Death Impends hits a pair of 6s = 10 Additional Points and with his existing pair of 7s, that's a two pair bonus of 15 Additional Points = 25 Points added total. Sub: Toast had Simon as a sub and drew 3 Clubs = 3 Points. DI increases his lead, and leaderboard updated.

As my DDP team is on a roll, Pope Benedict. Blessings be upon me...

Many thanks for my ninth DDP hit. Sad though, the man was a giant of 20th century playwrighting. Too many to mention, but an awesome person culturally. RIP.

Did you win gcreptile? Congrats!

Another heavy hitter, John McCain was picked by everyone bar Gooseberry Crumble in some capacity. Bonuses: Sean hits an Ace = 5 Additional Points. Phantom Of The Midway makes a pair of Queens = 10 Additional Points. Those who had McCain as a Sub: Bibliogryphon drew 6 Hearts = 6 Points. Skinny Kiltrunner drew 7 Clubs = 7 Points. Leaderboard updated. Everybody is now playing, huzzah! Of course, you may need a new croupier if Bracknell dies before the end of the month!

Many many teams' points score look a little more Presidential now that John McCain has died. Couple of teams Wildcarded him too. Note in passing that some have gambled on a McCain double....hmmm. Anyway, that will shake up the leaderboard again.

Unsurprisingly, tied with the Committee in picking McCain, so it's still 3 up to me: YW - 10; DL - 7

Valerie Harper on the Rhoda To Nowhere....

Oh and thanks for all the points.

Ok, so just got this news. Let us not forget he was a hawk, a warmonger, a trickle-down economist who expected the American people shafted by the banks to work extra hard to bail them out under all that Arizona folksiness. Nevertheless, as is usual with such folks, they realise too late when their God is opening his arms that maybe, just maybe, there's a better way. His denigration of and votes against Trump policies were probably part of that. And let us not forget that probably every game runner including myself has been put to a lot more work for little reward than Joe The Plumber was ever promised. Goodbye John, and good luck.
