ThereWillBeDeaths7

You're more than welcome to join next years residual game, @Bobytomi! Meanwhile in this years game, we've just had two hits in short succession, after a 7-month dry spell. The deaths of Yuriko and Olav Thon mean sad news for @tracy and @Azrael, but not for the remaining nine players in the game! 9/13 in play Viginia Halas McCaskey (ladyfiona) Gloria Whelan (Bibliogryphon) Rudolph Marcus (Steve) Ida Vitale (MariNisia) Yvonne Choquet-Bruhat (Yvonne) Vincent Ball (Grimgrass) Socorro Ramos (diego) Julie Mandel (ThereWillBeDeaths7) Tom Hughes (Summer in Transylvania) --- 10. Olav Thon (tracy) / 16 November 2024 11. Yuriko, Princess Mikasa (Azrael) / 15 November 2024 12. Márta Peterdy-Wolf (Hell) / 16 April 2024 13. Judith Hemmendinger (WEP) / 24 March 2024

Jean Marie Le Pen as my third sub please.

9/11 also being his birthdate. I can't begin to imagine what a nightmare that day must've been for him in 2001.

June Spencer was a hit for me as well. Abdoulaye Wade as my third sub please.

Jody Gormley as my new sub as well

November 5th

Wish you the best, arghton. Get well soon.

Would be a shame indeed, really popular in my wife's family and we've got some Finlayson products in our home as well. One of the most iconic Finnish companies in my opinion.

My team for this round: Jimmy Carter Dick Van Dyke David Attenborough Steve McMichael June Spencer Sonny Rollins Noam Chomsky José Mujica Georg Koch Andrew Bruce, 11th Earl of Elgin Zhu Rongji Janey Godley Esther Rantzen King Albert of Belgium Yuriko, Princess Mikasa Emmanuel Wamala Roberta Flack James Clayton Flowers Lord Nicholas Monson David Irving subs: John Cruickshank Pope Francis Duke Edward of Kent

I got a message you can't receive new messages. Just so you know

Because he's registered to vote in Georgia.

Dick Van Dyke as my new 3rd sub please.

Additional fun fact about Daniel J. Evans: Serving as governor of Washington (1965-1977), he outlived his four immediate successors, who passed away at the ages of 79, 91, 76 and 78; While his immediate predecessor as governor of Washington (1957-1965), Albert D. Rosellini (wiki), was the oldest US governor in history, passing away at the age of 101 in 2011.

Oldest US senator now is Nicholas Brady (94), better known for being treasury secretary in the administrations of Reagan and Bush Sr. Top 5 oldest U.S. senators at the moment: 1. Nicholas F. Brady (1930) (R-New Jersey, 1982) 2. Rudy Boschwitz (1930) (R-Minnesota, 1978-1991) 3. Fred R. Harris (1930) (D-Oklahoma, 1964-1973) 4. Mack Mattingly (1931) (R-Georgia ,1981-1987) 5. Alan K. Simpson (1931) (R-Wyoming, 1979-1997)

Rupert Keegan as my third sub, please

Has a new hat (Traditional hat giving to him during his visit to Papua New Guinea)

Last week, someone edited Floyd's wiki to state he died on January 9, 2021 at the age of 106. @Ulitzer95 took it down rightly because the edit was unsourced. Just in case some of our senior online researchers missed the information and could use it in finding a death date for Floyd.

Sven-Göran was also a hit for me; Frank Caprio moves up and my new sub is the Earl of Elgin.

César Yanes Urias please

I'd say Clinton will pass away in or around 2030. He's had multiple health issues in the last couple of years and loads of people pass away before their mid-eighties. I can't see him living past 83-84.

Sir Ian McKellen still recovering at home from his fall, in a neck brace and his right hand remains splinted. He also says he has relived the accident many times, and is afraid to leave his home. "I don’t go out because I get nervous in case someone bangs into me, and I’ve got agonising pains in my shoulders to do with my whole frame having been jolted." He is however still talking about taking up acting again once he recovers. I truly hope and believe he will return to the stage/set again, but I'll be checking in on his health more often than before. As many of us have said before, a fall at that age can often be the start of a slow decline.

Now that Paris 2024 nears its close, The Netherlands did a great job at the Olympics! Sixth in the end rankings which is our best result in history, even ahead of GB + North Ireland. Fifteen gold medals, breaking the record of Sydney 2000 (twelve); and 34 medals in total, only three below the record-number 37 in Tokyo 2021. It will be quite the challenge to beat this result in coming Games. Some outstanding moments/Olympians during the Games: - ofcourse the 4×400 mixed relay: with Femke Bol turning a fourth place into a gold medal in less than a round; - Bol winning a bronze and silver medal each later during the games - there are a lot of great Dutch athletes at the moment but she's just outstanding; - Both women's and men's hockey team winning gold, the first nation to do so in the history of the Olympics; - cyclist Harrie Lavreysen winning gold medals at the sprint, the team sprint and the keirin - added to his previous two medals in Tokyo, he has become the most succesful Dutch Olympian ever at the Summer Olympics; - the 3×3 basketball team, winning the finals against France in the last seconds; - Sifan Hassan winning gold at the marathon this morning, having won bronze medals at the 5000 and 10.000 meters as well. And to think The Netherlands had no medals after five days!

Former US senator from Idaho Steve Symms passed away on August 8, at the age of 86. Symms was a member of the senate from 1981-1993, and a US representative 1973-1981.

A happy birthday to you! All the best and wish you a lovely day.
