Planning his 100th birthday for later this year, starting to look a bit more his age but unless he pulls a Betty White I think he'll make it through 2024.

The whole theme seems to wide in general, most popular picks could fit in to the category 'Names found in nature' depending on how much leeway you're giving yourself on the definition of nature. If it was up to me, I wouldn't have allowed it as a theme team.

Updated for Burrow and Ure, thanks @Handrejka for pointing that one out. Whilst adding those points I've noticed half a dozen picks (Tore Aleksandersen, Alexei Navalny, Jacob Rothschild, Anthony Epstein, Nikolai Ryzhkov, Duane Eddy) who have died in the past 6 months that haven't been scored yet, I'll add those points later today. If anyone spots any others, do let me know but I will be doing a full check before the end of the game.

Robbed of life 6/50 2nd June 2024 Rugby legend Rob Burrow has died following an almost five year battle with motor neurone disease. Borrow joined Leeds Rhinos rugby team in 1999 and started playing for them in 2001 and very quickly became a valued and regular member of the squad. 2004 saw him joining England’s national rugby league team, playing in 13 games nationally. His career at the Rhinos saw him appearing 492 times for the team across 16 years, scoring almost 200 tries and earning over 1000 points. He retired from the sport in 2017, with his final match seeing the Rhinos beat the Castleford Tigers in the final of Super League XXII. Sadly in December 2019 Burrow revealed he had been diagnosed with MND, a horrific disease that damages motor neurons in the muscles. Since his diagnosis, with the help of former teammate Kevin Sinfield he has raised awareness of the illness and raised millions of pounds to provide care for those afflicted. In 2021 he was appointed an MBE and in 2024 a CBE. Burrow died earlier today aged just 41. He was making his second appearance on the Crowdsourced Deathlist, this year at no.19

Erik Jensen to enter the subs bench following the death of Rob Burrow please.

Sexual offender Malcolm Fairley aka 'The Fox' who in 1984 caused one of the largest national manhunts dead aged 72.

I love Sabrina Carpenter, I've only been listening to her myself for just under a year but I'm so glad that this song is doing so well and has made more people aware of her, her most recent album is one of my favourite's at the moment, I've probably listened to it more than any other so far this year. 'Switch it up like Nintendo' is my favourite lyric from that one.

Abdoulaye Wade please, thank you for taking over hosting duties Diego.

I loved that, probably my favourite of the series so far, I agree with what others have said that it feels very Black Mirror or Inside No.9.

I was just looking at this myself, he'll be 80 a couple of weeks after the election the polls I've seen suggest he only has a 15% chance of keeping his seat. He's the type to be given a peerage in the the Dissolution honours so even if he does leave the commons, I'd expect him in the Lords this time next year.
