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.

Glen Campbell is my 5th hit on this pool.

Valerie Harper - on the Rhoda to recovery?

A release for him at last. Having outlived a ton of his songwriters, it is sad loss for many who found country more accessible through him. Good rest, sir and thanks for your contribution. RIP.

Nobody made that case, though again she would have been ruled out on the reflected glory rule....

Connie Johnson springs to mind instantly...everybody wants her, everybody needs her, she's the most beautiful woman they know...

Safe Journey.

Why does everybody think my suggestion is about reducing FFBI types? It isn't! The wires section of the Mail is a back door entry. It only appears online and is never published (like the Independent) but hasn't been ruled out (like the Independent has for precisely this reason). Aussie types deffo have the Guardian and the Times. As for Americans, well, hey if they aren't internationally famous enough for even an article in the Mail... But hey, I'm leaving it out there...

For the record, me too, but restricting Mail Obits to Articles makes sense. I'd still keep the Telegraph/Times death notices, they are published and are notifications of death and are "better" than passing references. Remember the guy that got a QO on the BBC by a caption on a picture?!!!!!!!!!!!

Looking back over the past few round-ups, non-article obits in the Mail include Sonny West and Bill Dana. Gary DeCarlo and Darren Daulton got article obits.

I mentioned nothing about FFBI types. That is not my intention with my suggestion. FFBI types...well, it will be hell for the game runner to run...I had to exclude about 10 entries on the Poker Tourney! Up to the Spade to make a call on that one, although my views on those picks are well known.

Removing the Mail as an obit source would certainly concentrate the minds of participants. In order to compensate, bring the Independent back. While it no longer does full obits, it certainly has news stories about the dead. Edit: Rationale for this is that online postings rarely bear any resemblance to what is actually printed in the paper, but simply a cut and paste from AP, Reuters, etc etc. thus circumventing the whole point of a mention in a paper. Alternatively, insist that a Mail Obit be in an article, rather than solely in the Wires section.

I'll update the list. Sun Obit (for a change): https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/4199955/barbara-cook-dead-at-89-broadway-legend-dies-of-respiratory-failure/

Eduardo Del Rio has drawn his last and is a unique hit on this pool.

Caricaturist Eduardo Del Rio (Rius) has died aged 83. https://translate.google.co.uk/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.eluniversal.com.mx%2Farticulo%2Fnacion%2F2017%2F08%2F8%2Ffallece-el-caricaturista-eduardo-del-rio-rius&edit-text Punt in the Hare's Pool.

Justin Gatlin booed at the Athletics World Championships. George Osborne wasn't available this time.

This dead then?
