Could it be...?

Trevor Francis has suffered a heart attack

Where can I access the rules please? Just want to know what constitutes a celebrity and such...

Misanthropic, depressive, alcoholic, chain-smoker: Aki Kaurismaki

Anne Feeney is cancer-free. http://fellow-travelers-advisory.blogspot.com/

It was mock baiting, a sort of 'Fight, fight, fight' but not meant seriously. All apologies.

Ooh!

Well done Spade, having looked at your team I reckon you're in with the best shout of winning the DDP this year

Great job Mr. Black!

As much as I'd love to claim that hit, I think Captain Chorizo picked her rather than me.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2097676/Ben-Richards-battling-cancer-Footballers-Wives-The-Bill-actor-39-reveals-Twitter.html TV actor Ben Richards has an unspecified cancer; prognosis is that it is beatable however.

Ironically succumbed to pancreatic cancer, the same thing that killed his "Road House" co-star Swayze. How ironic.

Faustino Sainz Munoz isn't a Cardinal, so you'd probably be better off looking out for the Clerics thread to rise to the top! I think a few people have picked him on the DDP this year, however I dropped him from the squad as: A) I'm too impatient and B )I discovered he was still well enough to preside over Mass in December (the story is a bit mangled by Google translate, I'm afraid). Also, I was having obit concerns. Is he as newsworthy as we might think? The Times would have been most likely to give him a write-up and now that they are no longer considered a valid obit source due to their paywall, his chances of scoring points might have been severely impeded. I'd hazard a guess that The Scotsman would be his best chance, they seem to report Catholic goings on much more than their counterparts in England, possibly due to a wider proportion of their readership being of that persuasion. He'll probably die tomorrow and get a double page Telegraph spectacular now I've written that. Aye, for some reason I had a feeling about a week in that I'd made a mistake, just going off news from a year before... Looks like him, Lee Evans and Peter Macbeth are already write-offs for me, very poor start

Everytime I see this thread updated I get excited (poor choice of words perhaps) by the though it's about Faustino! My DDP needs to get going...

60% of the time, it works everytime.

Anyone?

Seconded
