Croke clubs? New one on me...

Dead

Well spotted! It seems this is a sequel to an issue I had when doing the S pictures. I noticed that some of the coding used on the database was out of synch. I sorted one part of it, but it seems I messed up the picks part (the one that links the celebs to the teams). Should be sorted by the next update. As for the "Pogson" picture - I thought I'd seen his face before!

What'd you reckon his chances of an obituary are? Pretty low, even in an American dead pool. Only Supreme Court judges get obits, and Reichbach would probably only get an obituary in local New York papers. That would be shame as his pun would be a tap in...

Mr Cumberbatch should have blacked-up like his mother did when she played one of the Khazi's wives in "Carry On Up the Khyber"...

Olic refuses to take part in the team bonding dying fly exercise...

Google their name in brackets i.e. "Les Leston" and select "pages from the UK" on the left hand side. That's what I do, and it never bloody comes up! I've just tried it now with Peter Breck... EDIT: ah, it's on page 3...

Hmmm. Maybe there's a time lag before newsfeed articles in the Guardian are archived and then made available to find on Google. If Breck gets one, then Warren Stevens will surely get one. Maybe we have to wait...

I can never find those pesky AP/Guardian obits. I search in the Guardian and there's nothing there. What's the secret?

I have to admit, the two mega death's in one day and rushing to upload the pages was quite exciting...

Well spotted! Well I was doing it at 00:30 hrs so maybe not in the best of form! As for Washington, I noticed almost as soon as I posted it, as I'd forgot the context of that Ron Washington and who he was...

The pun has changed, hasn't it?

That's as 70s as it gets...

Patty Andrews

Oh for fuck's sake, I was poised to update the DDP on Megrahi!!

Not been a great year for black singers so I've gone for Chuck Berry...

I'm sure both will be in the winner's enclosure come the summers end...

Sod's law, just as I've made the latest update on DDP! Still, 1st hit of the year...

Funny how some of the old 80s bands are coming back with new material. PIL, Dexys, now Ultravox...

Reputedly where The Smiths got their name from...

Wishing the Chelsea squad all get some kind of venereal disease before their Champions League final against Bayern Munchen...

"Whispering" Ted Lowe died a year ago today aged 90...

My mum's birthday too. David Beckham's also...

Relevant pages updated. I knew about both and had updated my database but I often wait to see if there is an initial obit before putting on the LotL. With Scarpa, I waited so long I forgot!
