Finally got around (read: there's finally a decent torrent out there that's not in Spanish) to watching Jackass Forever last night. The Knoxville stunt where he suffers brain damage is absolutely fucking brutal. Probably more notable for us deadpoolers though is how little Dave England and Preston Lacy contribute to the new movie - the new fat guy they have takes 95% of the stunts Lacy would normally have performed, so I assume his body's a lot more broken down than the rest of the cast.

Tim Wheeler and the lads look rough.

Ian McGarry, who probably was the first "transfer journalist" on Twitter over a decade ago, being reported dead at the age of 53.

Back to hospital.

There goes my hero(in addict).

In a month that hasn't seen much in the way of regular updates for deadpoolers, it seems strangely fitting that a key tie could be decided by the death of a blogger. Dagny Carlsson was a former seamstress who first started using a computer at the age of 99. Setting up a blog, she soon became a celebrity in her native Sweden and a pick for centenarian-chasers on the DDP for over a decade (putting Ivy Bean's lack of staying power to shame). Such was her fame she even hosted an episode of iconic Swedish radio show Sommar. Other recent Sommar hosts include Greta Thunberg and PewDiePie. YorkshireBanker steals ahead in their match with a unique hit and An Fear Baeg looks like making it two defeats in two rounds.

Reuters have him listed as "alive" at the moment, but I think we're looking at hours rather than days. This, on the other hand, looks like I proper QO and I will update the standings when I get five mins.

Holy shit, business just picked up!

Has anyone seen an English-language QO for Dagny C yet? Not an automated translated one.

Probably the nonce who definitely isn't Banksy.

^^^this. Famous for Being Old has always been allowed in places where Famous for Being Ill haven't. I don't make the rules (well, I do but still).

I think I linked this on here before, but if not: Roy North doing for Chas and Dave what lung cancer did for Chas.

Also, Captain Hemlock could still make round 3 without recording a single death. Catenaccio deadpooling?

Looks like things got a bit too spicy for the Pepper. Yep, legendary territory-era wrestler Pepper Martin has died, and to the eternal shame of myself and the rest of the DL faithful who keenly track grappler mortality it wasn't any of us who noted he was on his last legs. Instead, alt obits guy comes flying off the turnbuckle with a stunning eight points to leave Sideik facing a 2.9 count.

I mean technically any time, I already have entries submitted last month by people who were worried they weren't going to be able to put a squad in for April. Formally it's seven days before the new round starts, but if you need to submit now...

Interview with occasionally-discussed-on-here author Jacqueline Wilson. Again reiterates she's living on "borrowed time" and regularly feels exhausted, but her 114th novel is out now. Not much to gain from that piece though, as the journo clearly wanted to get her to say either "cancel culture good" or "cancel culture bad" and she's too smart for it.

Some of America's finest pop culture moments of the 2000s happened on Maury

Recently became wedged into his seat when flying Ryanair.

Shahabuddin Ahmed was a two-time president of Bangladesh whose Wikipedia entry doesn't really have enough information for me to say anything funny about him. Actually, when he retired in 2001 he said: ""I am an angel if anything is done according to their desire, otherwise I am a devil." And he's an angel now, with his wings giving gcreptile four points for a unique hit. However, he still lags behind your gamerunner on average age of hits. Michael MacEwan I felt very able to disqualify as a pick because I found him as well, and couldn't find any reference to him online beforehand that wasn't from his church. If you want to be a qualifying hit as a reverend, you really should commit at least three acts of child abuse.

Apparently Scott Hall had fell off the wagon in recent months (no shit) and had been lying on the floor with a broken hip for two days before anyone noticed last week.

Never mentioned on here before and surely worthy of our interest: 95-year-old physiologist Giles Brindley, who... let Wikipedia explain.

As with a lot of people, I think the current best Wordle clone is the football-based "Who Are Ya?". Name the player from one of the top 5 leagues.

Sun football writer Paul Jiggins dead at 50. Was still filing pieces as recently as seven days ago so it must have been something pretty sudden. He was one of Harry Redknapp's many "sympathetic ears" in the football journo world.

Still think it's mad that the Indian doctor in Only When I Laugh used to be in a band with Freddie Mercury.

Absolute wipeout for late 70s/early 80s Britcoms at the moment.
