I wonder how many Hispanics and Cubans will regret their vote when they are deported?

Now confirmed by US officials: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/omar-the-chechen-aka-omar-al-shishani-isis-minister-of-war-killed-in-syria-strike-us-officials-a6931511.html http://www.derbydeadpool.co.uk/deadpool2016/celebs_A.html#alshia But still not confirmed by the terrorists, which is a requirement this year.

I think you may be right about the girlfriend, and wrong about the mum's lingerie. Lord I've never had a girlfriend or gone near lingerie god forbid!!! All man and blokes, me. Thanks for the responses everyone. Interesting point.

Ron Isley is not dead, says Ron Isley: http://national.suntimes.com/national-celebrity/7/72/2759001/ron-isley-im-not-dead-no-matter-what-anyone-says

I'm interested (yes, boring me) in something I was thinking about recently, especially when describing the number of teams that may have had a DDP hit. Now, the online definition of the word 'few' differs, but it is generally described as meaning 'more than two'. However, when I looked up the definition of the word 'several', this was also described as meaning 'more than two' or 'three or more'. All of this contradicts my previous thinking on these words. I'd always thought 'few' meant between four and six, and 'several' meant seven or more - you can probably see where my thinking comes from on this. I don't think I'd ever describe three items as 'several', never mind describing eight or nine items as a 'few'. A Tues muse...

Thanks Sir C. As I understand it, TMIB requires that the other side also confirm his death before he qualifies for points. However, if TMIB wants to clarify and he qualifies on this basis, I'll add him to the next round up, but not yet. That's a tough get, relying on the other side's media, but understood. A qualifying obit is needed as well but that's obviously on it's way. Oh, the BBC have already got this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-35808738. I'll assume such folk need a qualifying obit from both the West and the Terrorists. That might seem blatantly easy to get, but the possibility is that some months down the line, the Middle East media report the confirmation from the terrorists and the Western media says, hey, we already know, we don't need to report this again. You never know....

Anita Brookner's death confirmed: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/books/authors/anita-brookner-author-of-hotel-du-lac-dies-aged-87/ And I've just seen she's too late for the update on the DDP! BiblioG and one other team picked her.

Can't find anything so may be one of those hoaxes, but rumour that Anita Brookner may have died?

His former wives include Jacqueline Pearce and Felicity Kendal. Picked for the DDP, whether an obit is likely now is doubtful.

A big one for The Living End, as none of the others at the top had him. Telegraph has it: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/celebritynews/12193493/Sir-Peter-Maxwell-Davies-dies-aged-81.html

Intriguing, I can't find a news story mentioning him going on a trip. I can find one referring to Mishaal bin Saud (b. 1940) and Mishaal bin Abdullah bin Abdullaziz bin Musa'ed (wiki gives no date of birth but it is someone other than the one mentioned above). http://english.aawsat.com/2016/03/article55348335/hrh-king-salman-arrives-to-hafr-al-batin Would they take a 90/91 year old on a trip? The original story is still up, but if there's another source, I'd like to see it.
