55 years since Stuart Sutcliffe could never "Get Back" into The Beatles, aged 21.

How far back do you want to go? Andrews Sisters?

I played a ladyboy in that scene of the show. High heels, leopardskin print dress. Came off stage to this: Dad: She's a bit of all right. Mum: That's your son.

My team will come in due course. Who'd have thought my only hit so far before the new season would have been Ian McCaskill? Anyway, I have to think what kind of a theme to use.

Tim Pigott-Smith played two roles in Doctor Who, Harker in The Claws of Axos and Marco in The Masque of Mandragora. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-39526103

Not been a hit here in ages. Then Don Rickles dies and turns out he might have been a first hit for ImNotHades, if only he had been in the main team and not a sub. Still waiting then...

Ok, I'll open this up in June for entries, to start July 1. Cheers, guys.

Would there be any interest in a Poker Tournament Dead Pool? Basically the idea is this. You pick 25 names. That's it. Then I would allocate a playing card from Random.org to each of your picks in the order you list them. If your pick dies within the period of the game you gain points, say, 3 for a "famous" pick, 1 for a FFBI pick. Bonuses would be awarded for poker hands as follows: High Card (i.e. an Ace) - 5 Points Pair (Two cards of same value) - 10 Points Two Pair (Two Cards of same value plus two cards of a separate value) - 15 Points Three of a Kind (Three of same value) - 20 Points Straight (5 Cards of any suit forming a sequence e.g. 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) - 30 Points Flush (5 Cards of any value of the same suit) - 40 Points Full House (Three cards of the same value, and two of another value) - 80 Points Four of a Kind (Four cards of the same value) - 100 Points Straight Flush including a Royal Flush (Five cards forming a sequence of the same suit) - 150 points. Bonuses would be cumulative. So say early on you gain say, a pair. If you subsequently gain another pair you would get the bonus for the second pair (10 points) plus the bonus for two pair (15 Points). If you made a straight, say 5-6-7-8-9, then hit a sixth death with a 10 allocated, you would gain an additional straight bonus for 6-7-8-9-10. Winner has the most points at the end of the game. DDP Obit rules in force from time to time would apply. No Jokers or Uniques rules. I'm thinking it could be 6 monthly to replace the Deathlist Cup from July to December, but I could make it a yearly one. Sounds complex but it would become apparent as the game went on and maybe I've not thought of potential problems, so any input would be appreciated. Appreciate you are in the lap of the gods with the randomness of the cards drawn, but that would add to the fun, and with 25 names you are getting almost half the pack anyway. Decided to place it here, rather than just open it, in case there's not much interest, after all there's loads of pools already.
