His son was on The Chase today. Won zip.

Leaderboard above updated for Qureshi and Bobby Heenan. JiroemonKimura still seeking a qualifying obit for Qureshi and Zsa Zsa's Leg legs it it a couple of places with a unique for Heenan. No bonuses.

Nope, some kind of facebook thing comes up and freezes the page.

Another of my Deathrace team. Sad news, but I'm sure a release for him after a long illness.

Derby winning trainer Geoff Wragg dies aged 87: https://www.racingpost.com/news/geoff-wragg-1930-2017/derby-winning-trainer-geoff-wragg-dies-at-the-age-of-87/301178 Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geoff_Wragg

Yes, yes he did.

The pace is increasing on the curve towards Christmas, and there is no Christian apology for the unique that is Nabeel Qureshi.

This is good enough for the Hare's.http://www.gospelherald.com/articles/71387/20170916/christian-apologist-nabeel-qureshi-dies-at-34.htm Joey slipping...

Above leaderboard amended for Violet Brown. Radguy and Death Impends had her as a main pick. On the bonus front, DI makes another straight having gained the 2 of Clubs, making 2-3-4-5-6 and gaining an additional 30 points. I had Violet Brown as a sub. Accordingly I asked DI to pick a card from Random, rather than do it myself and I gain 10 points having drawn the 10 Hearts. Death Impends thus regains the lead.

A Brown person dies and if true, indeed it's another unique.

Very sad news. My pick. I really thought he'd go this year, been ill for ages.

Ain't my job. Voluntary. Reason I started doing it was because some deaths were being missed and having to be caught up on, even though they had been reported. Death reports imo go in the main forum, not here (unless the person has been quoted elsewhere, like extra-curricular, had to do that a couple of times myself). There is always a suitable thread - Dead of 2017 for this year. List of the Missed can go here after being reported in main forum, preferable since I don't cover those. If someone does want to take this task on, I'm more than content to give it up. I do ask myself what the point is sometimes, every time a death gets reported here... Anyway, tis just a peeve, no problems, blah blah blah..
