Bernice Gordon, who had her first New York Times crossword published in 1952 and her last in 2014, dead at 101.

Wilfred Agbonavbare, Nigeria's backup goalkeeper in the 1994 WC, dead at 48.

Also, goddamn Jim Neidhart looks like a man currently going through a heart attack every time I see him on "Total Divas". That dude isn't making the next legends battle royale.

Perhaps topping the Milligan allegations, in the concurrent trial of Fred Talbot, Ian Brown has taken the stand and claimed that Talbot taught him how to masturbate as a child.

Although, considering it's Britwres, this could just be someone trying to pay their bookies' debt.

Orig Williams and Andre Baker both got Sun obituaries, so I'm pretty sure Drew McDonald would get one as well.

Happy first Burns Night after you bottled your independence, guys.

Otto Carius, one of the most successful tank commanders of the Third Reich, dead at 92.

Deez nuts, your chin

At least the child abuse enquiry can now literally take place over his dead body, as he requested.

Former home secretary Leon Brittan dead at 75. What an utter inconvenience for those investigating his links to child abuse. Ah well, thankfully nothing will come out in the papers about him over the coming days.

Best revelation from the trial so far has to be that Spike Milligan once tried to kill Glitter.

Is that the same blogger who has posited that Jimmy Savile is Maxine Carr's father? Top lad.

The same Wikipedia editor was also the first person to alert Wikipedia (accurately on each occasion) to the deaths of Gabrielle Blunt, Daphne Oxenford and Wendy Toye, all of whom were Denville residents. Gerald Sim is dead, Doreen Keogh is alive... we do the real hard work on the DL forums that investigative journalists are too lazy to do.

I'm sticking by my "Gerald Sim is dead" belief. In addition to what was discussed last year, the Wikipedia entry for Sim was edited on December 11th by someone who has a five-year history of accurate Wikipedia edits involving both Sheila Sim and Denville Hall. I find it hard to believe that someone would spend five years just to spread a fake death claim about the verger from To The Manor Born. Why this hasn't been picked up by the wider media yet, that I can't answer.

Yeah, I feel even with only six years in the DDP, I could pass any exam on oncology that the British Medical Board could set me.

And as offered before, T-Mib, I'm more than happy to write pen bios for picks, just give me a letter of the alphabet that needs filling in and tell me.

Dead according to darts forums and some randoms on Twitter.

Britney Spears' former Alcoholics Anonymous sponsor and boyfriend circa 2007, John Sundahl, dead after having his helicopter shot down by the Taliban.

Nothing in this game for a pair.

A$ap Yams, one of the roughly 700 members of A$ap Mob that isn't A$ap Rocky so nobody cares about them, dead at 24.

Time for some fag packet aspergers, here's people who were picked on this year's DDP by more than one of last year's top 11 teams (due to OoO's retirement): Nine Picks Sam Simon Eight Picks Kate Granger Six Picks Daisy Berkowitz Helen Fawkes Five Picks Colin Bloomfield Lauren Hill Martin Crowe Four Picks Caroline Aherne Dave Benton George H.

T-Mib the god of this shit, no debating. Amazing effort, you really are owed a pint by every player this year.
