Toast

But not a Scavenger Hunt pick, afaics.

I got a 1999 Rugby World Cup £2 coin in my change today. Don't see those very often.

Did the booking T&C really allow that? Disgraceful. I can't believe they'd get away with that.

Maybe she's just stoned.

Alternatively, Jaime Lannister

Maths = Mathematics. Nothing wrong with that. We also say meths for methylated spirits.

That photo has the vibe of a target successfully reached.

The only other place I have him is 30/30, I think. I tend to look for picks who would attract bonuses in the HPDP, rather than safe bets, as I like to have a bit of variety. I should have picked him for alt obits, must have forgotten about him.

Surprised that I'm apparently the only one to pick Ginger Baker.

Let's try Gorbachev.

You could easily change it as the rules are so simple. There's no elaborate scoring system: picks count if they die and that's it. So making the change wouldn't affect people's selections. I think it would sustain more interest with 25 as a target.

God. Why didn't you design our teeth so that if we lose one we always grow a new one, and not just the first time?

I've never actually met any.

I do, but I try not to talk down to people.

Any chance of updating the board on page 1 to show which picks have died?

Which is? As a one-stop complete record for the year. Every notable death should be recorded in the current yearly thread, as well as in its appropriate specialised thread (where applicable).

It wouldn't be pointless if it was used properly.

Nostalgia alert! I never saw the film That Summer! but did have a copy of its legendary soundtrack on vinyl, which included Eddie & the Hot Rods' 'Do Anything You Wanna Do". I didn't even realise it was a film soundtrack until years later. Fantastic compilation album which became very sought-after, and was never afaik released on CD.

Songwriters ? But it's fine here as well, as everyone should be in here.
