Peter Falk has Alzheimer's disease

Or EU Host is Toast

Jacques Delors, considered as the architect of the modern EU, has died. I was never good at doing these "mini" obituaries, so I'll go straight to the points. His death gives @Ulitzer95 his first points of the game with 4 days of the year remaining, better late than never! He is also a hit for @theoldlady @The Daredevil & @Hell, Hell is now in third place with 18 points.

That's all

I've already subbed everyone that had Delors btw

Ngl it sometimes did feel like this when we were doing the Number 1's. Some Beatles songs were the first being attacked when there was still so much dross made by other artists, it seemed like they were being attacked just because the Beatles made them and not because they were the worst songs in the game.

I agree, Stranger on the Shore is sooooo much better, and I say this as a Beatles fan.

First time I'm actually trying to make a good team, end up adding new names to the shortlist daily so it's getting tricky to decide who to pick.

Mack the Knife is fantastic, Louis Armstrong's version is also great.

I like some of Bobby Darin's other songs, but that one is just meh.
