And Airey Neave as well, who he was friends with. Have to imagine Airey Neave had very few other friends who were also members of Wiccan covens.

Ali Yafie wasn't the professor from Bagpuss, but rather one of Indonesia's top Islamic scholars. Remember DL cuppers: if you're stuck for fodder, the Immortals thread is basically "filter by free transfers" for this tournament. The coin toss had already gone in their favour, but Arghton locks up a next-round spot for certain with our first captaincy death.

Historical figures who would have been deadpoolers? Recently learned that Michael Bentine fell into a coma as a child after being injected with typhoid, and upon coming out of it developed a "skill" - he could tell when people were going to die in the next six weeks, as when he looked at them they had a skull superimposed over their face. This made his time in the Air Force during WW II particularly unnerving.

Google "Munto Finance", get a lesson in one of the most entertaining and weirdest seasons in football history (Notts Count 09/10). tbh, I'm surprised with the current craze for docudramas about news from recent history we've not got a Netflix adaptation of it yet.

As usual, we will require an individual with no stakes in the cup to receive the gamerunner's team, which I'll send two days before the deadline for everyone else, to ensure no cheating. @Joey Russ would be the obvious person here....

Stepping away from football with immediate effect due to "health concerns", is awaiting "follow-up test" results and asks for privacy at this time.

I think that leaves just Pietro Longo, Fabrizio Cicchitto and ol' Silvio B as the only (alleged) Propaganda Due members with an English-language Wikipedia page?

The categories I've already got lined up if I ever win this game are absolutely fucking horrid, so it's really in everyone's best interests that I don't take the W here.

Slim Borgudd is a hit for some plucky deadpoolers here: https://www.expreso.com.mx/estelar/musica/quien-fue-slim-borgudd/175472

Just an addendum, but it's always worth mentioning that "Dancing In The Moonlight" is probably the only top 10 single ever written about recovering from your wounds after being attacked during an actual terrorist incident where eight American tourists were shot dead.

And the Washington Post definitely counts as a QO.... Simone Segouin was the pin-up of the French resistance, the waifu of communist partisans, who rose to fame thanks to a profile in a 1944 issue of Life magazine. An iconic photo of her wielding a submachine gun while displaying what one journalist called "no trace of what is conventionally called toughness" didn't hurt her appeal either. Segouin has now chosen to mourir rather than vivre libre, and GuyFromFuture goes 4-0 up in his clash with DeathByArsenic. Just one less match to be decided by the RNG gods...

No QO yet (that I could find with 30 seconds googling) but surely there'll be something by the time the round ends....

The grave of printmaker Patrick Caulfield.

As the board's resident fourth-estater, I can let you know why: these kinds of articles are absolute manna for those "stories that appear when you load up your tablet". They're targeted at people in their 70s who got a tablet for Christmas and will click on this as soon as they see it. See also: why there is at least one story about Michael Landon's death from cancer by a major media company every week.

That Get Back documentary, although it clearly is "Paul is alive so he gets to decide the narrative" show, does absolve Yoko of multiple sins. It was more that George had absolutely no desire to still be in The Beatles and John really, really hated Paul ramming music hall flourishes into every song.

I think it's just been an unfortunate month for the cup's opening round to take place. There was no big name on the table at the month's start for everyone to get easy points, there weren't really any British local media stories about "guy who played for League 2 team has weeks to live", and a lot of the Drop 40 names this time out seem much more liable to drop later in 2023. Still, we have to play by the rules given so on, shall we say, the 23rd I will draw the provisional "winners" of each currently tied match. Therefore people will know if they need to start thinking about putting a team together.

My IPTV service has decided what I really need is a 24/7 channel of Mind Your Language, and to save my partner the despair of me repeatedly telling her "see the guy playing the teacher? He got his head caved in by a rent boy" for hours on end, I decided to see where the still-living cast members are. Nothing particularly interesting, but this is a very very rare photo of Jacki Harding (who played the German one) taken two years ago. Hasn't done any acting since MYL ended. With her is Kevork Malikyan, who played the Greek one. He had a much longer - and surely QO-worthy- career, and even turned up in an episode of Homeland a few years back.

1. A South African actor, mid-60s, who was in at least one Nelson Mandela biopic. 2. Spanish footballer and manager, late 80s, no international caps despite scoring heavily for one of La Liga's mid-tier teams like Villareal. 3. Someone from a central European nation, early 80s, who has a ridiculous list of jobs that reads something like "TV personality, war criminal, veterinarian, Minister for Culture (1993-2015)". 4. Guy with a red link who played bass/keyboards in the 80s for a band who were famous in the 70s. 5. Italian politician listed as "deputy," which you immediately misread as "deputy PM".

Well we don't need this thread in 2023 as every death is C+Pd into the main forum by a sub-500 poster.

Dreamed that I was dying the other night (slow death from cancer) and my final words were "that Antonio Cassano, he was some player."

Looks like someone ran an Instagram "aging" filter on Taylor Swift 15 times.

For those who joined in the past five years: the joke here was that as Bobbie Gentry is a hermit, it was ridiculous starting a thread about her as there'd never be any updates.

Yep, CalebH keeps kicking balls into an empty net in their match. Larry Garza was a circuit comic in the San Antonio area who has turned up in every low-requirement deadpool on this site for the past three years, but CalebH managed to field him in the month when he finally got called off the stage for the final time.
