My pick for this was Hugh Hefner. He's dead you know. I understand this puts me at 7th place. Pretty respectable.

Hugh Hefner is my second hit on this pool. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-41423845

Hefner is a second hit for me on this pool.

Well I picked him for just about everything...except 14th death. Ah well, swingers and roundabouts...RIP Hef.

Probably just after saying "M&S? I wouldn't be seen dead in one of their suits" and guffawing.

Ah, CNN Chile, the poor relation of Voodoo Chile...

Two teams over 30 points? Don't mind if I do... 3 months left anaw.

Gotta think of the runner. As I recall and it's not a criticism, Sean lost track of the deaths when it was 50 names per team and to be frank, so would I. I'd say it's up to him, but I'd think hard about going up to 40 or 50 again. Most of the games on here with that number of names (barring By-Election - where the updates are minimal - and the Generation Game - which runs itself really) have failed.

For this forum it is unsurprisingly The Queen Is Dead...

He's on the cover of a Smiths album. 'Nuff said...

Ah, Ruzickova (or as our player decided to spell it for this pool Rusickova) is now playing the harp rather than the harpsichord, elsewhere and pointage duly awarded.

Zuzana Ruzickova, harpsichordist, reportedly Czechs out aged 90. http://www.wsbradio.com/entertainment/czech-harpsichordist-zuzana-ruzickova-dies-age/jIAkdoD3iSLlgKJUzj7p3I/ Pick for gcreptile in the Hartlepool DP as I recall... Edit: Daily Mail: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-4926268/Czech-harpsichordist-Zuzana-Ruzickova-dies-age-90.html

I'd check him out, then, now and forever!

Ah, the generation gap.

Unexpected medical issues mean the cancellation of Aerosmith dates: http://edition.cnn.com/2017/09/26/entertainment/steven-tyler-medical-issue/index.html Let the speculation begin...

Barry Dennen (Irwin Lapsey in Shock Treatment) has died aged 79. http://www.thewrap.com/barry-dennen-jesus-christ-superstar-actor-barbra-streisand-ex-dies-79/

You do in this game...

It's all very confusing for this old croupier, yes I said croupier! How dare Dawn and Booth go so quickly! So let's sort out the leaderboard posted. BiblioG and Toast had Liz Dawn. Toast gains a bonus of 10 additional points for making a pair of 6s. Sean, Zsa Zsa's Leg, Toast, msc, The Dead Cow and Grave Danger had Tony Booth as a main pick. msc makes a pair of 3s so gains 10 additional points. Toast makes a pair of 4s, thus gaining a further 10 points for that pair and a further 15 additional points for making two pair (6s and 4s). Radguy and Joey both had Booth as a sub, but the draws were cruel. Radguy drew 3 Spades for 3 points and Joey drew 4 Spades for 4 points. Busy changes putting Toast top for now...

Liz Dawn is not all right chuck and gives two teams a lift up. Tony Booth was a hit for several teams. As a result, it's all change at the top...

My Comedy Cremations team is now doing better than my main team in number of hits.
