Report here that Eric Winkle Brown has died today at 97. https://twitter.com/beaver_paul/status/701439098796560386 Obviously awaiting the news stories to complete. Here's one, though not a qualifier: http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/world-s-greatest-aviator-eric-winkle-brown-dies-at-97-1-4035347

Just a guess - perhaps this John Baker? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/1377911/John-Baker-GC.html

Cheers msc - will the other dates fall this year? Given the big names falling, I'd expect so...

We get a go at that one soon. As I've said before, Paul Prudhomme and Richard Davies both died on 8 October 2015 and were hits. It's not a date of no death. Indeed it's mentioned.

But he doesn't have any ears. Won't listen, then. Russell Tovey has all the ears! I think if anyone could persuade me to stay in, it would be Taavi!

Why thank you, I just don't have the tech knowledge to do web pages etc, I'd be completely lost! Happy to help out - what I'm doing is probably my limit!

Does that mean Britain get half of Europe and reparation for 1000 years? Let's get the fuck out! Which half do you want? I don't fancy Poland's CD collection. I fancy Estonia's PM...just thought I'd throw that in there.

Oh well, the next hit is the 100th after all. Bugger.

*huzzah dies* On the other hand, I've been playing DDP now for nearly 14 months without one hit - a record? Possibly not, but I may even see the year out without a hit.

*diminished huzzah pending resolution of controversy*

TMIB confirms Lubbock was the 100th hit! So 2 others and I got it right? Wait...there's a steward's enquiry...

Thanks TMIB, in that case I did predict it right on the poll question thread! Huzzah!

Who was the 100th?

FTFY https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Gordon_(musician) Interesting...the wiki link was correct when I posted it and it looks like a whole new page has been set up and the original wiped from existence. Hang on... The formatting here changed the last bracket to an ordinary closed bracket (thus removing part of the link) and I didn't notice. Jeez Louise.

Blatter remains in denial as the FIFA presidential election approaches: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/35618619

I guess every second counts now...

Kim Seong-jip, South Korea's first medallist at the Olympics after their independence from Japan, has died at 97. http://english.yonhapnews.co.kr/news/2016/02/20/0200000000AEN20160220003000315.html He won bronze at both the 1948 and 1952 Olympics for weightlifting and came 5th at the 1956 Olympics in his category.

Samuel Willenberg, last survivor of the Treblinka death camp revolt, has died at 93. http://www.haaretz.com/jewish/news/.premium-1.704370 One of those unique DDP hits if there's a QO.

I'd include Robert Stigwood in there.

Wow! Two authors in 24 hours? You couldn't write this sort of stuff... BBC Obit for the DDP: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-35620368

Who gets top billing at the next DDP update? Boutros-Ghali or Harper Lee? Or will there be another hit to take precedence even over these two?

Question is if she's such a big miss, why is she not on the Crowdsourced Deathlist?
