Well done gcreptile, another Hall of Fame entry for you. Thank you to Wormfarmer for hosting this. I look forward to improving on what may be my best finish in a deathpool!

Could the mods consider merging this thread into this one, please? Cheers.

Spooky!

The Casino will be dimming its lights tonight in memory of Smith Hart, who became the Poker Tournament's first ever hit a year ago.

Now just need a former Provost of Dundee to fall down and we'll have a set.

Sad news. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-44679446 I remember well cutting about Kings Park, at the height of their fame, in my first pair of platform soles and being given a tartan rosette by my folks. Not their biggest hit, but in this heat it's worth posting their UK #3 Summerlove Sensation:

So it's a Happy Birthday to two Spitting Image legends. Ken Clarke is 78 today. David Owen is 80 today.

Ballerina and choreographer Dame Gillian Lynne announced to have today on her Twitter feed: IBDB: https://www.ibdb.com/broadway-cast-staff/gillian-lynne-1284 IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0528852/

Croatia/Denmark was a hard watch. Better team through by the skin of their teeth. Don't they know I have a heart condition*? (*It's a heart full of love for you, Cornelius, oh yes it is...)

Southgate can't bring her on now...

Ah, but there's a reason I didn't reboot Fred Trueman, Marlon Brando or Mollie Sugden....

Ah, don't take the hint then... Edit: Oops, I see it's been taken.

83 today!

So Godot was right. Almost 7 years later, Peter Firmin is dead. https://metro.co.uk/2018/07/01/bagpuss-clangers-co-creator-peter-firmin-dies-age-89-7674344/

I don't know. We used to have fire drills. We never expected an imminent fire.

Karl Malden left the streets of San Francisco forever on this day 9 years ago aged 97.

Thirteen years ago Renaldo Obie Benson died aged 69 from lung cancer and DDT started deathlisting here. Abdul "Duke" Fakir remains the only surviving original member of The Four Tops to this day.

It's been 13 years since Luther Vandross died and DDT started Deathlisting here.

15 years ago, George Roper died aged 69. Regular on The Comedians, a show that is a must watch for our younger Listers.

So, I'm just going to pop my team up here. Good luck everybody. A. Charles Aznavour (b. 1924; d. 2018) B. Bev Bevan (Drummer) (b. 1944) C. Chevy Chase (b. 1943) D. Dave Bartholomew (b. 1918) E.

Yes, you are right! You had to play gooseberry, didn't you?

You guys. I think I'm right in saying that only me and Bibliogryphon had teams which survived from submission to close intact. Sean had 6 deaths in June. His patience in coming up with new subs was much appreciated.
