@Tango854 if you don't care about the difference, stop replying.

Being on the Epstein list doesn't mean that a person did anything illegal, he was a well-connected financier as well as an absolute monster. That being said, the documents do implicate certain people in certain activities and that should be investigated and in few cases, such as Andrew and I'd also say Clinton, there is more evidence pointing in the guilty direction than not. Some of these 'surprise' names I've seen mentioned like George Lucas and David Copperfield could only have been mentioned once in the entire spread of documents, in those cases I don't think 'guilty by association' works.

I only ever care about no.50 and the top ten. Every other position on the list doesn't matter to me.

BBC - On the 4 year anniversary of the 'nearly world war causing' death of Iranian general Qasem Soleimani, 50 people are said to have been killed in a bombing at his tomb, a further 60 are said to be injured.

Australian 'Indigenous' actress Lillian Crombie, dead at 66.

His death will be likely be frontpage on BBC News, and I'd say he has a fair shot at a breaking news notification as well.

Does anyone have any idea as to when the GRO index is going to be updated for 2022?

Excellent encapsulation of a record breaking year (I especially loved the nod to John Sulu). Congrats Banana.

On the names masterlist you've put Jason Mackay instead of James.

I was thinking something similar but also think it could be a sort of coding error where it copied over the data from a previous year and because it recognised the word pope and filled in the rest.

I found this

A friend of mine (who I submitted a team for last year) messaged me this morning very disappointed, realising that he'd forgotten to make a team for this year. He wasn't so bothered about not taking part but was miffed that no-one will have chosen former footballer Bennett Steele this year, who is his 'incredibly irritating' next-door neighbour.

It could just be the same as before and she's caring for a relative, but the complete silence on what's happening and with no update as to when (or if) she'll be back on Corrie makes me think that there is something more to it.

List of previously unmentioned deaths, I've only included those with an IMDb. Ian Yardley - extra, died 2020 Clay Hunter - extra Ash Wilkinson - designer John Friedlander - effects & art departments Ken Major - camera Bill Bonner - propman David Whitson - camera Bernie Green - extra Vaughan Collins - extra Lionel Wheeler - extra Robin Yarnton - extra Jennifer Hill - Mrs Peace in the Unquiet Dead John Barclay - vision mixer Jenny Doe - production assistant Ian Wingrover - VFX

Theo Burrell, Phyllida Law, Edward Duke of Kent were my subs. The only drops from my list last year that I'm worried about are Chevy Chase and Prunella Scales.

Just wanted to point out that the past 3 years have all seen cast members of the 2003 holiday hit Elf dying, in 2021 Ed Asner, in 2022 James Caan and in 2023 Michael Lerner died. Superstition makes me think that Newhart will make it a 4 year streak (either that or Will Ferrell is going to have a very bad year).

'The Death Toll is Catastrophic' 2024 team Shannen Doherty Bob Newhart Jimmy Carter James Whale Frank Field David Graham Jonnie Irwin Linda Nolan Noam Chomsky Pope Francis Darleane Hoffman Colin Thackery Esther Rantzen Andrey Lugovoy Rhod Gilbert Walter Nixon Julie Goodyear Simon Cowell James Carter Cathcart Phil Collins I'm hoping that Hoffman, Thackery and Nixon will be uniques, maybe Lugovoy but probably not. I thought I'd give some theme teams a go this year too and tried to think of concepts that no-one had done yet... 'Scooby Doo' theme team Dick Van Dyke Marion Ross Alice Hirson Alan Oppenheimer John Astin Rita Moreno Darryl Hickman Mitzi McCall Carol Burnett Jackie Joseph Takayo Fischer Ruth Buzzi Billy Dee Williams Vince McMahon Tim Curry Jamie Farr M. Emmet Walsh Morgan Freeman Hector Elizondo Frank Welker 'Have I Got News For You' theme team Rhod Gilbert William Shatner Brian Blessed Janey Godley John Prescott Michael Aspel Stanley Johnson Ken Livingston Richard Ingrams Joan Bakewell Trevor McDonald Roy Hattersley David Steel Richard Wilson Melvyn Bragg Tom Baker David Dimbleby Ian McKellan Sheila Hancock Noddy Holder

Robert Wagner is probably the one I'm least happy about. Lobbyist who was part of a scandal in the UK in the late 90s but is now most famous for being married to a TV presenter and possibly having the worst case of long-COVID in the world.

I really really like this list, Yoko Ono is the only drop I'm cautious about, I'd probably switch her for Wagner. I'm glad that this year the top 10 isn't just the ten highest ranking survivors from last years list. I'm glad they've taken a punt on someone like Walters, even if she isn't a hit in the end. Lots of forum favourites making their debuts, it feels like they've listened to us for once. and finally being incredibly drunk last night and opening my phone in a crowded pub to see who was on the list only to be met with Pope Benedict was an absolute fever-dream, when I woke up this morning I had to check I wasn't dreaming. and finally finally @arghton's joke top 4 had me laughing uncontrollably for a solid five minutes, possibly my favourite thing ever posted here.

Not the first but my god wtf is happening

.

Awful list I can't believe they dropped Jimmy Carter.

I was going to drop her for 2024, I think I'll make a last minute adjustment.

Yes because random seemingly regional comedian that most haven't heard of is on the same level as 'weeks off 100 American icon' Betty White and 'on his death bed former pope' Benedict.

Un-retires, or to be more accurate is still willing to work if the right project comes along.
