Hugh Hefner again this month, it might turn into a subscription

I voted Hugh Hefner. It will be the end of another era.

August 4th for me

I voted Tony Booth

So sad, he was a hero of mine when I was growing up, he lived without the use of a safety net.

If you wish you can pick your team, choose your own rules and I will apply them to all teams entered. A bit like the premiership teams playing in the League, FA Cup and League Cup in one season. That is more of a data challenge for which the original rules can be loosened but I will remain arbitrator for bias the rules. All entries to abide by original or revised rules, non applicable selections to the rules will be allocated the minimum scoring points level for an obit.

Due to popular demand and lack of entries so far, the final category is now armed forces and scientists. Knights who have subsequently become peers also count.

And finishing point 25 in order First to die at no 1 25 points Joker scores in reverse but double please designate your selection as P,E,B,S,F to confirm classification as some will undoubtedly be both. Good luck, a pdf certificate to the winner.

So Easter has gone and a Bank Holiday is approaching, teams to be in by Wednsday 6am GMT after the May Day bank holiday. DM me with your teams.

Ok comments noted, at least it stirred up a bit of interest non brits allowed.

Too many people have been given titles with little merit, the foreign ones have many designations and people have collected them a bit like olympic pins.

Excellent. I've been doing a bit of research I think it will be limited to British. Final rules to be posted after Easter, until then a chance to do some research.

I voted USA, It should have been limited to States of America, stupid, suicidal, corrupt, homophobic, intolerant and Texas.

I was going to see what interest there was and then give it a months research time, I am a busy man.

I'm new to this but I would like to see a mix of political, entertainers, business, sports and forces represented. Jokers allowed, as many of them will be, a decent time for research and an order based result points scoring system 25 points down 25 to 1, joker double points. 25 persons (Knights and Dames) so as to be politically correct, five from each of the categories. This is a starting point any suggestions welcome.

In my opinion I think he needs to think before he speaks, he is a leader of a democracy not a dictator (although he does no seem to appreciate this currently) the levels of stress that he is currently creating will hit him eventually. You can not be a leader of a major power and lead direct policy by misspelt comments on twitter. He will be judged.

I picked Valerie Harper, there seems to be a pattern forming

With my real name I have exceeded my scrabble surplus with a factor of 150%. But there again with only two names, not long or posh, the sixties had no internet or fifteen minute "celebrities" to generate such long names. We would not have heard of the deaths of half of the people that we do now, especially those of the old Eastern Bloc nations as we relied on newsprint.

Rob Knox (1989-2008) 20 points. Child actor

Johnny Wahlqvist a swedish power lifter scrabble value 46 age 43 scraped through with the v.

Dmytro Grabovskyy, 31, Ukrainian bicycle racer, heart attack with a scrabble score of 38 an ex junior world champion. The only thing that I would add to this thread is that Scrabble tiles in different countries have different distributions and values.

My father in law said who is John Hurt what was he in, so I know what he looked like. His partner said wasn't he was the one in Elephant Man to which I said I think he was wearing makeup in that one.

I voted MTM. One year I will have the time to put together a list properly.

None of the above, there has been too much this week. George Michael day at work tomorrow.
