drol

Mockford's will confirms she is dead.

I'll go with a sudden death for Adnan Pachachi.

Things we were not entitled to see during our lifetimes.

And the first blood is forum-beloved general Anh, who leaves us prematurely after a brief illness.

Well, you have to wait you impatient fuckers!

So @Ulitzer95 wins the tenth round and is now on top of the scoreboard. Masterlist to be updated and eleventh round to begin.

Yes. Obviously as the host I will wait after the first five picks. My heart is in pieces now....

He is gone. My life has no meaning now.

NO! THIS CAN NOT BE HAPPENING!

Not my fault if the average Murican can't read beyond eight lines.

So, a brief summary of leaders who are now in failing health and whose demise might not be so far: 1)Hau Pei-tsun: hospitalized in ICU since April the 1st after suffering a not specified "medical emergency". Reported to be half paralysed. 2)Prem Tinsulanonda: out and about, but always on oxygen and often using wheelchair. Multiple recent hospitalizations. 3)Le Duc Anh: hospitalized at 108 Military Hospital since February 2018. His son is posting a lot on FB about his father, so, maybe.... 4)Jean of Luxemborg: hospitalized with pulmonary infection, condition greatly deteriorated. Dead cert. 5)Lee Teng-hui: has spent more than three months in hospital after suffering fall & cerebral hemorrhage. Now frail and unable to speak. 6)Robert Mugabe: currently hospitalized in Singapore. 7)Daniel arap Moi: unable to receive mourners for the death of his son because of ill health. Recently hospitalized.

Unfortunately no one has chosen Jean of Luxembourg and Biblio who picked him during the ninth round has changed pick, so nobody will score this time. Of course, he has to be dead before saying this, but it is rather imminent...

Daniel arap Moi's son Jonathan Kiprotich has died aged 64.

Maybe my first times here. Apart from complaining about lack of deaths, when I come here I post about fucking facts, things that have really happened and not the stupid kind of banter/shit you fill the extra-curricular forum with. You can say what the hell you want, but a poster who cares about facts above all can not be a bad one. Well, we all laughed so hard at your joke. Now you can go to Richard O'Sullivan thread to write some HQ posts as you usually do.

Talk about low quality posting....

Cross posting here that Hubert Zafke died last year.

Hubert Zafke died before the game started.

Bye bye....

He was only a governor, had no real power. There was Czechoslovakia back then and had its Prime Minister (fucking immortal Lubomir Strougal ). This guy was only a name on a piece of paper.

People I knew who have died since the beginning of April. And I know fucking thousands of ill people. 21 April: Aminul Haque. Known only because he was on life support last month. 20 April: no one 19 April: no one 18 April: Lorraine Warren, because of The Conjuring. 17 April: no one. Yes, I did not know who the fuck Alan Garcia was. 16 April: Bazilije Pandic. Read his name on the Wiki centenarians list. 15 April: no one 14 April: Bibi Andersson, Giuseppe Ciarrapico, Gene Wolfe. Decent day. 13 April: Paul Greengard 12 April: Ivor Broadis. Did not know Georgia Engel, but accept she was quite famous. 11 April:no one 10 April: no one 9 April: Richard Cole, Charles Van Doren. 8 April: no one 7 April:no one 6 April: Louis Crump (centenarian list), Fritz Hollings, David Thouless. 5 April: Sydney Brenner, Ly Tong 4 April: Dong Sy Nguyen (death of the month!) 3 April: no one 2 April: Bill Heine, Mahendran (ill) 1 April: Giacomo Battaglia (only because he was ill and Italian). APRIL SUCKED!

Well, we gave 2019 a try. Can't we start with 2020 now?

Current President, General Secretary of Communist Party and politics Overlord of Vietnam Nguyen Phu Trong has been hospitalized after reportedly suffering a stroke. Articles report he is in the ward where former president Le Duc Anh is also receiving treatment for the same ailment. Mind you, he has already outlived Phan Van Khai, Tran Dai Quang, Do Muoi and Dong Sy Nguyen...

She is surely dead, but no one gives a fuck. It will take days to have a confirmation.
