    And anyway it's in the Daily Mail: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3397431/Former-Butler-University-basketball-star-Andrew-Smith-25-dies-two-year-cancer-battle.html I've a feeling stories only appearing in The Guardian are going to cause issues at this rate....

    Deathrace 2016

    Think it's a misprint in the story I posted MPFC. Let's rely on a broadsheet, it's the 12th: http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2016/jan/12/andrew-smith-butler-university-basketball-star and CNN: http://edition.cnn.com/2016/01/12/sport/andrew-smith-butler-basketball-player-dies/index.html Will it matter in the long run? Or short run? He he. Apologies for finding the story with the misprint!

    Derby Dead Pool 2016

    Well there's no argument about Hassan Asif now: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3394895/Pakistani-student-Hassan-Asif-died-cancer.html The masking of picks such as these must just be an extra layer of work for TMIB et al on what is already an extraordinary job. Whilst I'd commend a change in the rules of some kind going forward, I'm in total agreement with drunkasaskunk on this issue as outlined above.

    David Bowie

    I'd put Lemmy as a major death And I'd add Geoffrey Howe - the man who melted down the Iron Lady and sent her to the political scrapheap.

    Good indeed that she got verified when she did, less than a month later and she's now dead. Leaves Bill Del Monte as the only known survivor of the 1906 SF quake. Alas Bill Del Monte is now dead. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/ct-obit-1906-quake-survivor-20160111-story.html What an after shock! Edit: Hit for gcreptile on Hare's Dead Pool. Edited: msc had him last year for Deathrace 2015, not this year.

    David Bowie

    Phantom, just for my theme team, could you go out and buy this album please? Are you thinking I'll do a clean sweep of them? Having checked the listing, I'd get only five hits I think, surprisingly - Jon Anderson, Bryan Ferry, Bruce Foxton, Peter Gabriel and Chris "Merrick" Hughes. But that's 5 more than I got last year or even expect this year!
