Hmm, Ely Tacchella, aged 81, also of the Swiss team of 1962 and 1966: https://translate.google.co.uk/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.24heures.ch%2Fsports%2Factu%2FLe-grand-defenseur-suisse-Ely-Tacchella-n-est-plus%2Fstory%2F25909464&edit-text

Bibliogryphon joins the game with Kristal's death. DI had Kristal as a sub and drew the Queen of Diamonds, giving an additional 12 points. Still waiting for Shaun of the Dead to throw down a card.

Three teams saw their way Kristal clear to picking the oldest man (verified). Leaderboard in the early hours, will there be more hits before then?

Glen Campbell, Helen Alexander, Clancy Sigal, Prunella Briance. Only 4?

Since it was brought up here, we now have 3 contenders who have received death notices but no obvious obit as yet: Jagraj Singh, Edward Allcard and now Laurie Brokenshire.

Quite right. Times Death Notice: http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/thetimes-uk/obituary.aspx?n=laurence-philip-brokenshire-laurie&pid=186341697

If he hadn't been "a fat fuck" he wouldn't have made all his money though...

Obituary for Beryl King aged 90. https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2017/aug/10/beryl-king-obituary Better known as a stage actress and teacher, she played the role of Mrs Stannard, a bitch of a governess of the school, at a meeting to discuss the alleged relationship between Fay Lucas and the teacher Mr King. This was also around the height of Zammo's drugtaking. IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1469271/

Yep, Toho Stars thread.

Can't let this one go by. American County Judge Randy Carney: http://www.kait8.com/story/36097465/mississippi-county-judge-randy-carney-dies Well, aren't they all, love?

Agreed. I've read most of the Marples/Poirots. I guess the most strange is The Big Four. Don't really have a favourite, but if pushed I might tell you...

Multiply? Anyway, leave it to our beloved game runner to sort out the niceties, I can't even begin to think about the calculations...

Glen Campbell was a Baptist and then became an adherent of Messianic Judaism.

Glen Campbell is a hit for me on this pool. I just remembered!

Don't worry. you are going where the lights are shining on you.......like a.....

Doesn't start until the 10th as I understand it, so I think your sub comes into play. Bad luck.

Word of explanation regarding the above. Ok, so with Glen Campbell's death, we have the first bonuses of the competition. gcreptile hits an Ace, giving a bonus of 5 points. RishCast makes a pair, giving a bonus of 10 points. On the non-bonus front, both The Dead Cow and Joey Russ had Campbell as a sub. The Dead Cow drew 10 Hearts, giving an additional 10 points. Joey Russ drew King Clubs, giving an additional 13 points. Toast joins the leaderboard. Shaun of the Dead and Bibliogryphon are the only non-scoring teams, but with months to go, I'm sure they will be playing soon.

Seems to have been an update which prevents me from editing my previous posts re the masterlists for the pools. Is this new or am I just having issues here? Edit: Never mind, seems to be working now.

It's all gone to Galveston with the sad demise of Glen Campbell. Several teams had him and has mixed up the leaderboard. Not a Wildcard pick for anyone, surprisingly, but plenty of them still about and ready to check out.
