    Derby Dead Pool 2016

    Grand stuff, though it's a pain not being able to see the update. Where are you up to on deaths? I can start a new round-up, as the previous one is chunky to say the least.

    Dead Poets Society

    Sadly not a qualifying obit for Jock Scot, but thought I'd post it. National: http://www.thenational.scot/news/wild-man-of-poetry-jock-scot-loses-fight-with-cancer.16379 Now he has a press notice, who knows? Still awaiting a qualifying one though.

    Hymn Writers

    In the Death By Jazz thread: The Man In Black wrote: Saw that documentary and was able to match the artist with the 'Take 5' tune. I thought 'Fancy that. Really good.' Then having left the radio on on Sunday while listening to the cricket, I heard the Sunday church service from Sheffield. The opening hymn was 'Sing All the Lord's Goodness'.... 2 min 5 sec in... Written in 1949 by Ernest Sands... Ernest Sands has reportedly committed suicide: http://www.praytellblog.com/index.php/2016/04/14/ernest-sands-rip/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

    Overrated People

    Ok I'll join in, I literally have hundreds of people I gaze at in disbelief at their success. I give you Malala Yousafzai. Author, Nobel prize winner, touring chat show guest. Her talent? Getting into the UK without crossing in a boat via Turkey. Oh and saying girls should get an education. If she's that much of an advocate, she shouldn't be preaching/selling books to the converted, she should be touring Pakistan in an open topped car. Not that brave Malala? Thought so.

    Voice Actors

    And here is Arthur Anderson's qualifying obit from the Daily Mail: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3538723/Lucky-Leprechaun-voice-actor-dies-NY-age-93.html?ITO=1490&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490

    The Smiths Cover Stars

    First UK obituary I've seen for Richard Bradford, and it wouldn't have qualified for the DDP. http://www.scotsman.com/news/obituaries/obituary-richard-bradford-american-television-and-film-actor-1-4099580 Talking of which, I'm assuming there are still issues with updates as I'm not seeing one. Hope all is well.

    British Science Fiction Series

    Never watched Blakes 7. Having looked at his IMDB page, I'd probably know Gareth Thomas more from Jackanory and possibly Children Of The Stones. Rest his soul anyway. A unique on the DDP when there's a qualifying obit.

    The EU Referendum Hokey Cokey

    Are you saddened that this infighting will ruin the chances of defeating the evil EUSSR, the single most passionate political issue of your lifetime? Nah, my sigh was that I'd really like both sides to get on with their fighting, rather than have another process point delay things. We've been through all this up here with independence but at least we had two years which included time to sort out the legals. Nice of Cameron to say it's the biggest decision for several generations to come and only give us 4 months to discuss. As I may have said before, I'm undecided and may not even bother voting. Good attitude for the guy who started the thread, huh?
