    The Hare's Death Pool

    Four teams now have a big black hole in their line-up. Far from being an event on the horizon, Stephen Hawking's death wheeled up a little too soon.

    Stephen Hawking

    Had the feeling this would be a huge clear out year, had him in almost every pool. Not the Cup though. Let's face it, he was a genius. RIP.

    Dead Screenwriters Society

    Andy Lewis, screenwriter most notably associated with, and nominated for an Oscar for, co-writing the screenplay for Klute, has died aged 92. http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/wickedlocal-concord/obituary.aspx?n=andrew-k-lewis&pid=188433937 IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0506920/?ref_=ttfc_fc_wr36 I find this quite interesting that this comes to light today, as OldWillz was watching an episode of The Avengers today with Donald Sutherland in it, and it brought to mind that Klute was the first movie I ever saw with Sutherland in it. And I didn't like it much...

    Donald J Trump

    40 - 60 odd per cent of positions unfilled since the start of his presidency. 40 odd per cent turnover of staff who work for him.

    Nazi of SS

    Zafke, Kisser and G. Sommer are all recent attempted prosecutions. Others are more distant convicts or attempted prosecutions. I have not heard of their deaths. Some I'm not sure of as I made up the list from the thread and the info available at that time. If there's any info for the thread, feel free to post.

    Derby Dead Pool 2018

    @Spade_Cooley Just noticed that the DDP has two entries for the same person. There's Ben Ferencz and Benjamin Ferencz, who I believe are one and the same.

    Crashing Companies

    Look, with all these companies closing, it really is simple. Put more money in the pockets of people and they will spend. Stick it to them with low or zero hours contracts, minimum or stagnant wages, growing inflation, high energy bills, houses they can't afford and the economy will suffer. I expect this thread will start becoming hugely active over the next few years. Unless things change.
