That is my error, thanks for pointing it out. I have replaced him with Peter Armitage (statistician).

Not sure if mentioned in this thread but he also sold his music rights for $200 million recently. He is only 29.

Rebekah Vardy probably spreading fake news to the media.

Just messaged you again. It's certainly in my inbox/outbox history.

I submitted a team to you via DM on Sunday with a last minute fix this afternoon.

Shania Twain released this great 25 years ago today: Robbie Williams released Let Me Entertain you 25 years ago and 20 years ago performed at Knebworth in front of 375,000 over a period of three days.

BBC website pointed out that James Hong who is director of Everything Everywhere All At Once is 94 (born 1929 for those pooling).

Betty Boothroyd a hit for me. (BBC) + Black History Month bonus.

Betty Boothroyd a hit for me. BBC

Just realised all the people who I had listed that died began with B (Bill Treacher, Pope Benedict, Burt Bacharach, Betty Boothroyd). I was about to joke hoping Bernard Kalb is next but a quick Google tells me he died in January!! (Daily Mail) @Lafaucheuse - That means I have to add in two new people and Ozzy Osbourne in at 12? New subs - Rosalynn Carter and Simon Cowell (Wildlife presenter)

*sighs* I forgot to put in Betty Boothroyd for mine. At least I have her in other pools.

I had Betty Boothroyd listed everywhere else but here and Hares Death Pool *facepalm*.

I knew I had her somewhere. Just couldn't remember where. I'll give you new person after work.

With Eurovision it depends what hits we're talking about. I have a lot of songs in my favourites that didn't even win such as Keiino - Sprit in the Sky, Dami Im - Sound of Silence and Love Love, Peace Peace which wasn't even a contender but an interval song by the presenters, lol. Also the 2020 songs which got cancelled due to covid - some of them were very popular such as Iceland - Daði Freyr - Think About Things. I'm in a Eurovision Youtube deep dive so going to add Sergey Lazarev - You Are The Only One as well.
