Can I keep the list for 2024 unchanged?
If a person passes away and there is no obituary in English, I simply have no points.

3 hours ago, An Fear Beag said:A little over 12 hours to go for submissions, so this is your final reminder to submit a team.
A total of 57 teams in, with not much variety! I swear, if any one of Jimmy Carter, Jonnie Irwin, Roberta Flack, Rob Burrow Nigel Starmer-Smith or James Whale die in the next 12 hours, I am going to absolutely lose it. Think Michael Douglas in Falling Down, with possibly a little of Jack Nicholson in The Shining. It will not be pretty.
Still no sign of a team from
and possibly no team from WhenThe, or whatever they have changed their name to.
And of course any new players who want to try their hand at this, you are very welcome. Just chuck in 25 names and a few subs, and you are good to go,
I'm going to attend. I'm working on the list.
My apologies. It's been a tough year. But the judge sided with me and my employer lost.

Brezhnev's funeral (1982). There were only two channels on our television set. It was broadcast on both.
The funeral of Yuri Gagarin's mother (1984). The first time, a woman's portrait was carried in front of the funeral procession.
Then I remember a report on Indira Gandhi (1984). Her ashes were being poured through the open door of, I think, a helicopter and the mountains in the background.
Ustinov's funeral (1984). Instead of a coffin on a gun carriage, a rectangular box. It is bricked up in the Kremlin wall.
Also, after the railway catastrophe at Asha (1989), funeral processions for several days in a row. Policemen stop traffic to let the hearse through, while drivers in other cars honk their horns. There was a girl in my school, 2-3 classes older, she survived, only scalds.

1 hour ago, arghton said:Russian necrophiliac serial killer Mikhail Popkov (confirmed to have killed 78 people, but confessed to 83) wants to join the Wagner mercenaries.
As recently as a month ago, former conscript Ramil Shamsutdinov, who shot and killed two officers and six fellow soldiers in 2019 in Transbaikalia, asked to join the Wagner PMC. He was not taken.
... And they won't take this one either.

Russian MMA fighter Georgy Gagloev was strangled with a pillow in a Moscow-Vladikavkaz train car during a stop in Rostov-on-Don.
It is possible that his murder was connected with the fact that Georgy continued to actively search for his aunt Rimma Gagloeva, a well-known fortune-teller in the North Caucasus who went missing in Chechnya. Her relatives believe she was killed by Kadyrov's fighters.

An old Soviet joke.
Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar and Napoleon watching the parade in Red Square.
- If I had Soviet tanks, I would be invincible! - says Alexander the Great.
- If I had Soviet planes, I'd conquer the whole world! - exclaims Caesar.
- If I had a newspaper "Pravda" (Truth) the world would never have known about Waterloo! - Napoleon grinned sadly.
By the number of deaths among famous people we can indirectly judge the catastrophic situation at the lower levels and the lies of official statistics.

Film director Nikita Mikhalkov has been hospitalised in a serious condition with covid pneumonia. Information about this appeared in the telegram channel "Baza".
Nikita Mikhalkov's wife has not confirmed information about the director's serious condition. Tatiana Mikhalkova told "Readovka" that the director was being transported to Moscow, and the exact diagnosis was not yet known.
The 77-year-old filmmaker was admitted to GKB No 67, but then transferred to another hospital with the help of an intensive care team.
Internet users joked that it was the viewers of the television channel Russia-24, who had to watch Mikhalkov's authorial programme Besogon*-TV all day on 1 January, with questionable and contradictory content, popularising pseudoscientific theories and obscurantism, who had put a spell on the wealthy director.
