Should probably crosspost the death of Paul Ryder here.

Michael Elgin apparently "missing" again according to Twitter talk, hasn't been seen since July 6th.

Eugenio Scalfari, Italian journalism big shot, dead at 98. Probably most famous outside of the boot for being the guy who claimed Pope Francis said hell doesn't exist a few years ago.

Yep, looks like we've avoided any possible draw situations (unless Mike Davies dies, which he probably will). Mark Fleischman was the owner of Studio 54 - not the owner of Studio 54 in its heyday, but in the early 1980s - when Paul Heyman was working as a promoter, Rick James was smoking crack in the back and you could get a blowie off a 10-year-old Drew Barrymore for three Benson. The death of disco was an ugly thing. Fleischman spent June of this year telling everyone he was off to Dignitas, and unlike most other due-date announcers that have disappointed DDPers over the past decade (Frank Van Den Bleeken is still kicking), he went through with it. Joey goes three points ahead as a result. gcreptile 9 vs Joey Russ 12

Available on Cameo and really not looking 95 at all. Could be a century punt.

If it is still a draw on July 31, any objection to - instead of a coin toss to decide the winner - we go with sudden death?

YW's coomer critiques are an underrated part of the DL experience.

Notably "troubled" as a player.

Hey: watch it Joey.

Jose Eduardo dos Santos dies, giving Dos teams points in this round. As with every other long-serving African leader of the 20th century, he was widely praised for his anti-colonialist stance and ability to transfer his country's economy, but criticised for being a corrupt pocket-filling crackpot. Scores remind tied at six-all, is John Cannan up next? gcreptile 6 vs Joey Russ 6

Didn't expect this thread to end in this way when I started it.

Three of us gets points from Jimmy Caan.

Impact has put out a video with lots of people sending their prayers to Don West. Still no sign or response from Don.

The Post-Pincher Pincer

Polish midfielder Janusz Kupcewicz dead at 66. Played in the 78 and 82 editions, and scored the winner for the Eagles in the third-place playoff against France in the latter.

And here's your QO: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2022/jul/03/novelist-and-former-guardian-journalist-susie-steiner-dies-aged-51?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

This article about "Britain's poshest retirement home" reveals the QO-worthy name of at least one resident: Swinging Sixties model and former wife of Laurence Harvey, Paulene Stone.

Already 1,000 likes in two hours, might mean we get a QO today rather than waiting for The Guardian to sort their upload out midweek.

Father of early 90s wastes-of-space Amanda and Bruiser.

THERE'S ONLY NO ANDY GORAMS! Like the 1982 European Cup final, the goalkeeper goes off early here, with the former Rangers stopper and UVF afficionado succumbing to his recent very public cancer battles. No protest(ant)s from either gcreptile or Joey Russ, with both teams off the mark. gcreptile 3 vs Joey Russ 3

Minecraft YouTubers: you ever die young enough to be the hero or live long enough to inevitably be outed as a child groomer.

Both teams now in. Will hold until midnight GMT just in case there's any late developments.
