An Fear Beag

For the record, I have submitted my own team to JoeMoneypenny for safekeeping before the pool starts.

Thanks for the entry. You have not selected a Joker, so Alice Munro is your default Joker unless you would like to choose someone else.

Please don't put your team here, unless you intend to do it very soon. I will be processing teams as they arrive in, and I don't need the hassle of looking back over old posts to see if someone has edited in a team. Its only a minor inconvenience for me I know, but lots or minor inconveniences can add up to a headache. Once you have your team, just reply in the normal fashion. Please.

The Rules (Last updated 3rd Dec 2023) 1) Your Team All teams must contain 25 people with some claim to fame (See FFBI section) and a nominated Joker amongst the main 25. If no Joker is nominated, the first name on your list will automatically become your Joker. A maximum 5 subs are permitted for any picks who die before the starting line, or any picks who are disallowed by the host (These substitutes will be promoted in order if required). It is strongly recommended that a player submits subs, as the host will not bother to chase you for a sub should one or more of your players fail to make the starting line. All picks must be human beings aged over 18 on January 1st of the game year. Picks who appear at the commencement of the game to be human, but are subsequently found to be shape-shifting reptilians will still be valid (e.g. Prince Philip). Pond-scum who show only the vaguest signs of being human will also be allowed (e.g. Jacob Rees-Mogg,) They will still be subject to rule 4.2 below which prohibits the murder of picks, however tempting it might be. Death row prisoners only score if they die of other causes. Those still on trial will still score points if sentenced to execution after 0000 on January 1st. (HOWEVER, SEE RULE 5.5 ON FAME CRITERIA FOR CRIMINALS) Entries must be posted in the annual Hares Death Pool thread or PMed to the game runner. Entries sent by any other method will be completely ignored. The competition automatically opens for entries at 0001 on the 1st December and closes at 2359 on December 31st. Substitutes will be automatically promoted if a pick dies before the game commences., or if a pick is disqualified by the host. Substitutions will be allowed for the entire duration of the game until 23.59 on 31st December 2024. In the unlikely case a player uses all 5 substitutes on picks who died before January 1st, they will not be allowed to add another pick, and will start the game with one pick short should a 6th pick die. Let’s face it, if you are so bad at this game that 6 picks die before it even starts, then you deserve some sort of penalty. If someone has not provided sufficient substitutes to cover picks who died prematurely or were disqualified, then they will also play the game with a numerically disadvantaged team. Late entries are not permitted. No exceptions. Don’t even think about it. Seriously. Entries are welcomed up until the deadline of 23.59.59 on 31st December. The fine tradition of abusing players who post late on New Years Eve is not generally carried on by the current host, as he is usually too pissed to care. In another change to a previous pool tradition, absolutely no effort will be made to clarify who your picks are should there be confusion. Frankly, I do have a few better things to do with my life. The original Hare's host was always incredibly lenient on this front and seemed to take pleasure is corresponding with participants for clarification on picks. The current host does no such thing. If you do insist on picking obscure names (which are actually warmly welcomed), we recommend you put a brief description in brackets which will assist the host in assigning the correct name (see Rule 10 below). This is unnecessary for the blindingly obvious. For example, this is good: Thomas Nilsson (Swedish jockey) This is a touch excessive: Queen Elizabeth 2 – Royal If the host is not certain who a pick is (which to be fair is actually most picks), the player will be assigned the first living name that comes up on a google search, regardless of how young, healthy, or obviously-not-the-intended-pick they are. If no suitable name comes up on page 1 of a google search, the pick will be disregarded and a sub will move up. For example, if you wish to select John Smith, the former Wigan and Oldham player who is now head coach at Cornell University, then perhaps enter John Smith (Cornell Coach). If you enter John Smith with no description, then page 1 of a Google search gives the explorer of Pocahantas fame and the dead former Labour leader, and so the pick will be invalid. If you enter John Smith (football) then the first living person who comes up is the former New England Patriots kicker who will then be your (probably better) pick. If your pick is so obscure that they do not appear on page 1 of a google search, a link to a suitable article on the person is acceptable and advised. 11. The host may accept clarifications to picks made after the team has been submitted. This will be solely at the discretion of the host, and will largely depend on the hosts mood at that time. The host’s mood is usually not good, so I wouldn’t bank on it. No alterations to the master-list will be made after 00.01 on January 1st 2024 2) Scoring Rules 1. The overall points system is incredibly simple: a) 1 Point for each full day of the year that passes before your celebs death (if they die on the 10th of January you are awarded 9 points for example) up until the games close at midnight on the 31st December. b) If one of your "celebrities" dies on 31st December in that game year, they will receive a 250 point Betty Bonus, named after the hosts 3rd favourite Golden Girl, and 5th favourite Betty. (A 31st December death will score 614 points in a normal year or 615 points in a leap year rather than the 364 or 365 points it would normally accrue) c) Celebrities picked as a Joker will receive double points (i.e if they die on the 9th January you'll get 16 points, in case you don’t know what “double” means). Jokers are calculated before the 250 point bonus, meaning a 31st December joker will score 978 in a normal year and 980 in a leap year. d) In the impressive event of all 25 of your team dying you will receive a 500 point bonus 2. In the unlikely event of a tie at the end of the game, the following criteria will be used to determine a winner a. Person with LOWEST number of hits during the year wins b. If both teams level on hits, the person with the last hit of the year wins c. If both equal on b., the person with the 2nd last, 3rd last etc will win. 3. For the purposes of determining the date of death of a celebrity, the information to hand will be used to determine the points allocated to the competitors who chose the person. In the event that an exact date is unavailable a) Journalistic phrases such as 'on Wednesday, or last night/yesterday' will count as dates of death, with the date being determined by the tedious process of working it out - points will be awarded. In the event that a more vague phrase is used such as “Last week” or “recently”, the host will use his own discretion to determine a likely date of death, based on the phrase and the context used. The hosts decision on this shall be final, but is also changeable should further information subsequently become available. b) In the event that only the month of death is in the obituary, points will be awarded to the first date of the month that has been given ('the Leah Bracknell' rule) if a date is subsequently given before the closure of the competition window the remaining points will be added to the total. c) In the very unfortunate event that only the year of death is provided in the qualifying obituary, the poor bastard who picked them will be awarded points to the first day of the year that is given (which the savvy among you will have worked out is 0 points). 3) Obituary Rules Celebrities qualify if they achieve an obituary or article about their death in a local, national or even specialist newspaper, magazine or website. The article does not need to specifically relate to their death, instead just mention it. The Hare’s Pool has always been extremely lenient when it comes to accepting “obits” and that will be continued. Unlike other pools, a QO is not used as a barometer of fame – the weeding out process is carried out before the game begins. Basically, anything that convinces the host that the person is actually dead will be accepted (See Point 3). The obit may be published in any language but entrants should give the host a translation if it is not in English. (It has been a tradition for foreign dead pool players to submit local hero teams of DDP useless picks to the Hares pools on account of this and the current host heartily welcomes such entries – how else is he going to learn about Singaporean Ceramacists!) Paid for obituary sites are not specialist websites and will be not accepted as proof of death, as unscrupulous (and frankly desperate) players could pay for an obituary. The same applies to death notice sections of otherwise acceptable sources. The exception to this rule is if these sites have a celebrities death page - should the picks death notice/paid for obituary feature on their celebrity deaths page/feed the points will be awarded. Wikipedia pages are not accepted. Social media posts, personal blogs etc do not count. The cut-off period for obituaries is 2359 on the 7th January the year after the competition ends. (Death date must be recorded as 31st December at the latest). While the host will make every effort to search for obituaries before this date, it is ultimately the responsibility of the player to bring deaths and obits to the attention of the host. No death notices will be accepted after this date, even if the final scoreboard has not yet been published and a winner declared. 4) The “Don't Be A Cunt” Rules Blatant plagiarism of another person’s team (in the opinion of the host) is punishable by expulsion and a 5-year ban on entering the competition. It is also fairly pointless in this game, so why bother. Murdering your chosen "celebrities" is against the rules. While the host greatly admires dedication to dead-pooling above and beyond the call of duty, and was tempted to relax this rule as a result, the site’s lawyers have pointed out that it is actually illegal and should probably not be encouraged (not to mention it gives us a worse name than we currently have). Players are forbidden from encouraging/discouraging or actively taking part in their (or another contestants) picks assisted euthanasia. Similarly, encouraging picks to commit suicide is prohibited (as well as being a fairly shitty thing to do) Keeping alive another person’s pick against the picks will to benefit in this game is also against the rules (although again being grudgingly admired by the host). 5) The Qualifying Picks Rules Picks are not accepted if it cannot be reasonably ascertained that they are actually alive. Celebrities are disqualified if the host determines them to be famous for being ill. This includes · Famous due to impending death (hit by a car, stabbed, in ICU with Covid despite 10 vaccinations etc - you get the idea) · Famous due to illness, with not even a minor fame to claim of their own making resulting from that illness (mother with 6 months to live, man with rare genetic disorder) 3. Exceptions will be made for people with an illness who have become activists or otherwise achieved a reasonable level of fame for reasons related to, but not confined to, their illness. This will be solely at the discretion of the host, whose decisions will likely be arbitrary and mood dependant. Writing a single book about one’s illness will likely not qualify, because let’s face it, what self-respecting cancer-mum hasn’t written a book about her battle. 4. Relatives of the famous are not accepted, unless they have achieved a reasonable level of fame themselves. The threshold for this “fame” will be relatively low and may be directly related to the famous person (e.g. appearing regularly on their reality TV show), but anything not related to the celeb is generally welcomed and is more likely to have the pick accepted. The hosts decision will be final, and may appear unfair and inconsistent. That’s life (and death) folks! 5. People who are famous solely on account of criminal acts are banned, unless they meet one of the following criteria: · a. The nature of their crime(s) makes them a globally famous name (or at very least extremely famous nationally). The bar for this will be set quite high – we are looking at Myra Hindley, Peter Sutcliffe levels of fame. The host makes no apologies for any inconsistencies in this – the deciding factor may well be whether the host’s partner or kids have heard of them or not! If you are unsure whether they are famous or not to qualify, just leave them out. There are enough other genuinely famous people out there to pick. · b. They are head of a widely known criminal organisation (e.g. Mafia, major terrorist organisation, British Conservative Party) 6. If a pick is rejected, the first sub on the list will be promoted. If a team has more than 5 rejected picks, they will play with a shortened team. The most obscure accepted pick in the opinion of the host shall win the Who the Feck Are They? award. I'd be grateful if people didn't deliberately go after the Who the Feck Are They? award, as it's meant to be light-hearted fun and will be discontinued if people appear to submit substantially more fringe picks. Rejected picks will be published once the game begins, along with the players name). Players are welcome to (and indeed encouraged to) ridicule other players for their barrel-scraping antics.

Its been quite the week for celebrities croaking it, with some big names and popular picks falling as enter the home straight. I have done a google trawl through the list, so I am fairly sure I have rounded up all the fallers. This is who I have since the last update: 24th November: Chris Stone 25th November: Terry Venables 25th November: Tras Honan 27th November: Frances Sternhagen 29th November: Henry Kissinger 30th November: Shane MacGowan 1st December: Sandra Day-O'Connor So what difference has that made to the leaderboard? Well. firstly @gcreptilehas made good on his promise of another hit, with Kissinger propelling him back to the summit. Can he hold onto the leadership this time? The biggest winner from the recently flurry of activity is @Dying Probablywho managed a rapid treble of Kissinger, MacGowan and Day-O'Connor to surge through the pack. They go from barely inside the top-20, all the way up into second place. And with Jimmy Carter seemingly circling the drain and about to join Rosalynn in dropping down it, you cannot rule out an unlikely victory from behind. @wannamakerrefuses to be shaken off, and continues to track the leaders in third, still only a solitary hit away from the top. The only other player within a non-Joker hit of the leader is @Thatcherwho drops out of the lead down into 4th place. Still loads of time to snatch the lead back. Also loads of time for other players to mount a late surge, with plenty of Jokers still to be played - Dying Probably has shown that is never too late in this game. This is your last full leaderboard of the year.

He wasn't lying ...........

Tras Honan, the only woman to have held the post of Cathaoirleach (Chairperson) in the Seanad (Irish Upper House) has died aged 93. Former Seanad Cathaoirleach Tras Honan dies aged 93 (rte.ie) A pick in the Hare's pool, but yet another miss for my Irish Theme team in the DDP. Likely would not have received a QO in any case. Even in Ireland, no-one plays a blind bit of attention to the Seanad, except to occasionally talk about scrapping it.

A little more housekeeping to be done. As I was checking the scoresheets over breakfast this morning, I noticed an error in the scoring of the Johnny Ruffo hit. It would appear that after (correctly) entering the date of death on the spreadsheet for @BuffaloPhil, I suddenly went all American, and started entering the date as 11/10/23 rather than the correct 10/11/23. As a result, all other Ruffo pickers were diddled out of 30 points. That has now been corrected, and an intense session of self-flagellation will now begin. For the most part it has made only minor differences to the scoreboard. @CaptainChorizo, @Etushispushingupdaisies, @Grim Up North@The Old Crem and @Pedro67all rise by 1 place in the middle of the scoreboard. @Famous6Evarises 2 spots and @RadGuyedges a little closer to the leader. The bigger issue is the boost that it gives to @gcreptilewho is now only 27 points off the leader. Which the eagle-eyes among you may notice is less than a Steve Woodmore hit, for whom we are still awaiting a QO. I had kicked the can down the road on this one, in the hope that either it wouldn't matter, or that a QO would arise. Neither looks to be the case at present, so I will make a clear decision that what we have at present will NOT be enough. We have a facebook tribute and an entry into The Gazette, so I am sure he is dead, but neither fulfils the extremely lax criteria for this pool. Sorry GC. This is the top 2 as stands with (hopefully!) correct scores. I will be doing a thorough check of the scoreboard later, but I am fairly confident all is now correct.

It's only been 4 days since the last update, but here comes another one. So why the rush? Well firstly, because I have just noticed that @LizLemonwas never awarded points for her Tony Bennett hit on 21st July. Apologies- points have now been awarded. But surely that cannot be enough to warrant an update. Well how about @DeathByArsenicgetting their first hit of the year, meaning that every player has now entered the race. The death of Josh Ackland lifts them up into the lofty position of 5th last! These are the hits that have occurred in the past 4 days: 15th November: Daisaku Ikeda 19th November: Josh Ackland 19th November: Rosalynn Carter A fresh update for the last placed player finally getting a hit? Of course not - there is more!. Only one player in the top 10 picked Rosalynn Carter. It just so happens that they also picked Josh Ackland. As a result @Thatchermakes a leap from 9th position right back up into the lead! Can they hold onto it this time? Does@gcreptilehave a reply? Can someone else rack up a couple of quick hits to sneak into the top spot? 6 weeks to go - its heating up. This is the top 5, full leaderboard on page 1.

I did say that there was plenty of scope for a change or two at the top, and indeed that is what we have. Only a few hits to report, (feel free to point out any more obscure ones that may have been missed), but at this time of the year a few hits is all we need for a shake-up. This is who I have since the last update: 16th October: Eric Tweedale 3rd November: David Berglas 7th November: Frank Borman 10th November: Johnny Ruffo. An the big news is that we have a new leader! @gcreptilescores with a Ruffo hit to take the lead, and with only eleven down (plus non-scoring Steve Woodmore), and a Joker still in the back pocket, they are now in prime position to take the title. But a lot can, and probably will, happen in 7 weeks. The other big winner is @BuffaloPhilwho jokered with Ruffo to move up into 3rd position, only 1 hit off the lead. They have a fair few differentials from the two teams above, so a run at the top is a real possibility at this stage. @RadGuyenters the top 10 in 7th place - still needs a couple of quick hits to get to the top, but again has enough outs to start catching the leaders. Here is the top 10; the full scoreboard is as always on page 1. Gcreptile (1842 points) 11 hits [Burt Bacharach, Chris Snow, Daniel N Paul, Frederic Forrest, George Alagiah, Grant Turner, Haris Ibrahim, Johnny Ruffo, Menahem Pressler, Roland Griffiths, William Consovoy] The Unknown Man (1687 points) 8 hits [Bob Barker, Bobby Charlton, George Alagiah*, Gianluca Vialli, Giorgio Napolitano, Milan Kundera, Rolf Harris, Ted Kaczynski] Buffalo Phil (1674 points) 10 hits [Ady Barkan, Ben Ferencs, Bill Butler, Bob Barker, Gianluca Vialli, Guido Gorgatti, Hazel McCallion, Johnny Ruffo*, Lucille Randon, Tim Keller] Wannamaker (1603 points) 11 hits [Bob Barker, Frank McGarvey, George Alagiah, Giorgio Napolitano, King Constantine, Martti Ahtisaari, Milan Kundera, Pervez Musharraf, Rolf Harris, Ryiuchi Sakamoto, Ted Kaczynski] The Spinosaurus (1426 points) 7 hits [Alan Arkin, Bob Barker, King Constantine, Horst-Dieter Hottges*, John Devitt, Michael Parkinson, Tony Bennett] Death Impends (1423 points) 9 hits [Bert I Gordon, Billy Graham, Bob Barker, Ed Ames, Francoise Gilot, Jimmy Weldon, Lucille Randon, Mervin Shiner, Milan Kundera] The RadGuy (1375 points) 8 hits [Ady Barkan, Faye Fantarrow, Frank McGarvey, George Alagiah, Jango Edwards, Johnny Ruffo, Ryiuchi Sakamoto, Tim Lobinger] TQR (1373 points) 7 hits [Bobby Charlton, George Alagiah, Harry Belafonte, Michael Parkinson, Mohamed Al-Fayed, Nigel Lawson, Tony Bennett] Thatcher (1253 points) 8 hits [Federico Bahamontes, George Alagiah, Gianluca Vialli, Gina Lollobrigida, Milan Kundera, Rolf Harris*, Ted Kaczynski, Tony Bennett] Yorkshire Banker (1208 points) 7 hits [Dick Clarke, Dick Groat, Francoise Gilot, George Alagiah, Giorgio Napolitano, Hsing Yun, Winnie Ewing]

Sorry, what was that you were saying again? Got distracted.

I picked him because I cannot seem to quit my addiction to AMD/MND sufferers, even when there are more obvious terminal cancer folk to pick. Sneaks me back into the top 10. Could have been better though, had I cocked up my DDP entry a little differently than I actually did. I originally put all my picks into the spreadsheet and selected Rob Burrow who was second on my list as the Joker (see what I mean!,. I then put them in alphabetical order, but forgot to change the Joker, which then became Ady Barkan. But the rules state that the Joker is the first one on the spreadsheet (which I also forgot - I was in a rush and quite drunk) and that was Adrian Sutton. So my Joker was intended to be Rob Burrow, was submitted as Ady Barkan, and ended up being Adrian Sutton . I might actually be good at this game if I started taking it seriously!.

Well, I said only get interested when somebody hit the lead, and I am certainly interested now! It is still relatively quiet for hits, with only 5 that I am aware of since the last update on October 16th. However, at this time of year the hits tend to be significant, and that is certainly the case now. This is who I have - let me know if I have missed anyone. 16th October: Roland Griffiths 21st October: Bobby Charlton 23rd October: Mervin Shiner 1st November: Ady Barkan 2nd November: Wei Wei The demise of Bobby Charlton has given us a new leader in @The Unknown Manwho, after lurking near the leaders all year, now strikes for home. However they have an ominous looking pack lurking behind, with @gcreptilemoving up into 3rd, reigning champion @Death Impendsnow in 5th, and @TQRup into 6th. All three still have Jokers to play, so there is plenty of scope for a very quick change or two at the top. Down at the bottom, @Pedro67finally nabs a hit to enter the race proper, leaving @DeathByArsenicas the only player still to score Top 6 is as follows, full leaderboard on page 1. The Unknown Man (1687 points) 8 hits [Bob Barker, Bobby Charlton, George Alagiah*, Gianluca Vialli, Giorgio Napolitano, Milan Kundera, Rolf Harris, Ted Kaczynski] Wannamaker (1603 points) 11 hits [Bob Barker, Frank McGarvey, George Alagiah, Giorgio Napolitano, King Constantine, Martti Ahtisaari, Milan Kundera, Pervez Musharraf, Rolf Harris, Ryiuchi Sakamoto, Ted Kaczynski] Gcreptile (1559 points) 10 hits [Burt Bacharach, Chris Snow, Daniel N Paul, Frederic Forrest, George Alagiah, Grant Turner, Haris Ibrahim, Menahem Pressler, Roland Griffiths, William Consovoy] The Spinosaurus (1426 points) 7 hits [Alan Arkin, Bob Barker, King Constantine, Horst-Dieter Hottges*, John Devitt, Michael Parkinson, Tony Bennett] Death Impends (1423 points) 9 hits [Bert I Gordon, Billy Graham, Bob Barker, Ed Ames, Francoise Gilot, Jimmy Weldon, Lucille Randon, Mervin Shiner, Milan Kundera] TQR (1373 points) 7 hits [Bobby Charlton, George Alagiah, Harry Belafonte, Michael Parkinson, Mohamed Al-Fayed, Nigel Lawson, Tony Bennett]

Up into second I reckon. But you are not getting your own update for that! Hit the lead and I'll get interested.

It would appear that @BabyBluehas had a quick-fire double, with Phyllis Latour being quickly followed by Finnish ex-President Martti Ahtisaari. 7th October: Phyllis Latour 16th October: Martti Ahtisaari Only 2 hits (that I am aware of - feel free to enlighten me about any more), but they are important ones. Babyblue's double jumps them up from the lower half of the pack all the way up into 8th place, and in a strong position to make a move for the top with only 7 picks down and a Joker still to play. As I've said before - this game is only getting going! However the big winner in this mini-update is @wannamakerwho's selection of Ahtisaari has seen them take the lead. Is it too soon to be leading? Long way to go to the finish line, and all the chasers have the advantage of more potential hits. I suspect Wannamaker will need to keep a close watch on their Joker Rob Burrow if they want to still be ahead when the race is run. Here is the top-8. Full leaderboard is on page 1. Wannamaker (1603 points) 11 hits [Bob Barker, Frank McGarvey, George Alagiah, Giorgio Napolitano, King Constantine, Martti Ahtisaari, Milan Kundera, Pervez Musharraf, Rolf Harris, Ryiuchi Sakamoto, Ted Kaczynski] The Spinosaurus (1426 points) 7 hits [Alan Arkin, Bob Barker, King Constantine, Horst-Dieter Hottges*, John Devitt, Michael Parkinson, Tony Bennett] The Unknown Man (1394 points) 7 hits [Bob Barker, George Alagiah*, Gianluca Vialli, Giorgio Napolitano, Milan Kundera, Rolf Harris, Ted Kaczynski] Gcreptile (1271 points) 9 hits [Burt Bacharach, Chris Snow, Daniel N Paul, Frederic Forrest, George Alagiah, Grant Turner, Haris Ibrahim, Menahem Pressler, William Consovoy] Thatcher (1253 points) 8 hits [Federico Bahamontes, George Alagiah, Gianluca Vialli, Gina Lollobrigida, Milan Kundera, Rolf Harris*, Ted Kaczynski, Tony Bennett] Yorkshire Banker (1208 points) 7 hits [Dick Clarke, Dick Groat, Francoise Gilot, George Alagiah, Giorgio Napolitano, Hsing Yun, Winnie Ewing] WEP (1204 points) 7 hits [Augie Nieto, George Alagiah*, Jango Edwards, Mutulu Shakur, Ralf Harris, Teresa Taylor, Tim Lobinger] BabyBlue (1152 points) 7 hits [Greta Anderson, Guido Gorgatti, Helene Carrere D’Encausse, Horse-Dieter Hottges, Leonard Pietraszak, Martti Ahtisaari, Phyllis Latour]

It has all been a bit quiet around here recently, but it would appear that the tumbleweed was unwarranted. A thorough scan of the masterlist has revealed a good number of hits, some of which predated the last update. It looks like players have not been keeping an eye on their own teams . These are the hits I have come across since the last update: 10th July: Marga Minco 18th July: Ooomen Chandy 5th August: Helene Carrere D'Encausse 8th August: Vera Vasilveya 26th August: Faye Fantarrow 8th September: Stanley "Whitey" Von Nieda 16th September: Nikolai Dobronravov 20th September: Dick Clark 22nd September: Giorgio Napolitano 29th September: Diane Feinstein 30th September: Chris Snow That unpromising list has led to a major shake-up at the top of the leaderboard. @TheSpinosaurusretains the lead at the summit, buts it's all change below. @The Unknown Man moves into 2nd place, @wannamakeris up into 3rd, and @gcreptileis now in 4th. @YorkshireBankergets two hits to ascend into 6th, while the Joker hit of Giorgio Napolitano helps elevate @drolfrom the pack up into 9th. Meanwhile at the other end, @chickencobragets their first hit of the game, leaving only @DeathByArsenicand @Pedro67still languishing pointless at the bottom. As we are at the 3/4 mark, here is the full leaderboard. With the points for a hit rising all the time, it is all to play for. 6 teams are within a hit of the leader. 15 players are within 2 hits, or a Joker hit. Let the pool really commence!

Its all gone a little quiet around here, as the Reaper seems to be taking a late summer break. Hopefully somewhere not too warm. I can only see the two deaths since the last update, unless you are keeping a few obscure ones hidden away without telling me! 30th August: Mohamed Al-Fayed 5th September: Mairin Hughes Both hits have an effect at the top of the scoreboard, with both me and @TQRpassing the 1000 point mark and rising to 6th and 7th place respectively. Here are all those over 1000 points, full scoreboard is on page 1 The Spinosaurus (1426 points) 7 hits [Alan Arkin, Bob Barker, King Constantine, Horst-Dieter Hottges*, John Devitt, Michael Parkinson, Tony Bennett] Thatcher (1253 points) 8 hits [Federico Bahamontes, George Alagiah, Gianluca Vialli, Gina Lollobrigida, Milan Kundera Rolf Harris*, Ted Kaczynski, Tony Bennett] WEP (1204 points) 7 hits [Augie Nieto, George Alagiah*, Jango Edwards, Mutulu Shakur, Ralf Harris, Teresa Taylor, Tim Lobinger] The Unknown Man (1130 points) 6 hits [Bob Barker, George Alagiah*, Gianluca Vialli, Milan Kundera, Rolf Harris, Ted Kaczynski] Death Impends (1128 points) 8 hits [Bert I Gordon, Billy Graham, Bob Barker, Ed Ames, Francoise Gilot, Jimmy Weldon, Lucille Randon, Milan Kundera] An Fear Beag (1093 points) 9 hits [George Alagiah, Gianluca Vialli, Lucille Randon, Mairin Hughes, Mary Quant, Nick Hitchon, Nigel Lawson, Ryiuchi Sakamoto, Tim Keller] TQR (1080 points) 6 hits [George Alagiah, Harry Belafonte, Michael Parkinson, Mohamed Al-Fayed, Nigel Lawson, Tony Bennett] Wannamaker (1051 points) 9 hits [Bob Barker, Frank McGarvey, George Alagiah, King Constantine, Pervez Musharraf, Milan Kundera, Rolf Harris, Ryiuchi Sakamoto, Ted Kaczynski]

Realistically, only 4 of them are potential hits though, with Pete Murray, Eric Idle, Charlie Bird and Stan Boardman (wtf was I thinking?) unlikely to trouble the scorers. So I'm probably relying on all of Frank Field, Jimmy Carter, Rob Burrow and Nigel Starmer-Smith dying in the next 4 months. Not impossible, but extremely unlikely.

Personally, I find the "Kill or Save" threads far more annoying than anything that Diego posts. I'd much prefer 10 posts a day about obscure Eastern European footballers than 50 posts a day to decide the second best song from 50 years ago. At least they are about dead people. But that's just me However, both KoS and Diego are very, very far down on an extremely long list of "Things that piss me off on a daily basis", so I generally find it very easy to ignore both and get on with life.

What sort of a sick cunt of a family member would look at that poor bastard in his bed and think "I've a great idea - let's take a photo of Steve and post it on facebook/instagram/whatever". If there is anyone close to him with an ounce of compassion for the man, they should get a gun and just do the right thing. Shoot her first, and then him.

Quitter!
