Round 2 1. Rad Vs. Yorkshire Banker OR Skinny Kiltrunner 2. Chorizo Vs. Grim Up North 3. Clorox Vs. Alt Obits Guy 4. Nantonian2013 OR Maryportfuncity Vs. The Quim Reaper OR BuffaloPhil 5. DDT Vs. Death Impends 6. The Dead Cow Vs. Deadsox 7. Charon Vs. Engineer 8. Deathray Vs. The Mad Hatter 9. Gcreptile Vs. msc 10. Joey Russ Vs. Banana 11. Sir Creep Vs. Spade Cooley 12. Torva Messor Vs Dr T 13. Master Tech OR Bibliogryphon Vs. Book 14. Gooseberry Crumble OR John Key Vs. Heef 15. Young Willz Vs. JoeMoneypenny OR Pedro 16. Wormfarmer OR The Old Lady Vs. The Unknown Man OR Boudicca. OK, I think I've reminded everyone not yet to put in a team who might need to. State of play above - teams in bold are in. If folk add FFBI picks from now - I'll just add First Sub. Penalties state Joe v Pedro Master Tech v Bibliogryphon Yorkshire Banker v Skinny Kiltrunner These penalty shootouts have been undertaken, with a two pence coin dating back to 1996 apparently, and a host with dodgy co-ordination. Short of it, I know who wins those three ties now. So three of you might want to hurry up with late winners! Results at midnight (if needed) as usual.

Chirac now only recognises 5 people (not named) Bernadette is also in increasingly bad health since the death of her daughter in 2016 for those interested in a 2 for 1 deal. (Links are in French because duh)

So glad I didn't add "Drol to discredit this in 5..4...3.." to the end of that post.

DL person discussion!!! imo the tweet is bollock, but still true on the broken clock mantra. When Lynn pulled out of thing last year just down the road from her end of last year, was signal shes on last legs imo

Given he turned out unique, he better bloody well be, or its a major Doh moment for me!

tbf, I was just about to press send, checked the rules, suddenly realised Capon and Clayton weren't eligible, looked up Google in a panic, then went fuck it and picked an obvious name. Some weeks you just don't have the inspiration...

First three to come to mind, honest. Bissessaringh stick in my mind because he KO'd me from the Cup! No chastising for drilling down to find a good name, merely defence of folks ability to do the same. Joey's African rapper was another good one off the radar of everyone else (died about 20 minutes into the month...).

Esophageal, apparently. Equally nasty. Got to love his bosses passing the blame on and giving him a warning for preventing a meltdown.

1. Barbara Hammer 2. Catherine Wreford 3. Bill Heine 4. Sally Sheridan 5. Denis Golddberg

This is all about phrasing. Someone already asked me "Can I use Telly Savalas's widow?" and I was like "err, what do you think?" But in fairness, I checked her out, and find she's an minor actress with over 30 credits to her name, including a Bond film, A Hard Day's Night and 3 episodes of Corrie (I'm not Deathray, I wouldn't know that shit!). So yeah she's above the threshold established.

Breaking news - dead.

So given I have been adamant for years he'd never see the day, somehow yesterday Ric Flair proved me wrong and turned 70. Well done him. Still think he's in injury time.

For example, Drol, few years back someone would have mentioned by now that June Brown had to miss the location filming for Dr Legg's funeral (on health grounds according to ITK folk), only appearing briefly in the Elstree set, and having large parts of her dialogue* (ie written early December for her) handed over to her who plays Sonia instead. *including important stuff for the character, given Leonard Fenton only returned to die to give June Brown a storyline. 5 years ago this would have produced 2 pages of "she's on her last legs" posts rapidly approaching that final Dead. Instead it goes unmentioned, and there's no discussion of the DL50, just birthday mentions, death notices and "are they dead yet?" mentions. Soulless stat collecting. I'm rather grumpy today.

There aren't many updates on anyone anymore. I miss those.

Nope. In theory you can sneak through on the coin toss on a 0-0 and use the exact same team.

Obligatory "Who is this guy, DL will never pick this nobody" post which looks foolish in 5 years time when they actually do.

2005 2019 You don't need the doc to say the "just turned 62" May looks tired. Strong candidate for Dead Within a Decade imo.

Yes. Yes.

Death Impends murdering the opposition is such an unusual deadpooling event!

5 grand films name-checked there so here's a 6th: Bedazzled. Not the 90s rubbish, the proper one with Peter Cook and Dudley Moore.

Was in Always Keep Them Laughing (the Bergerac that predicted Yewtree type cases) and The Intercessor, 2 faves here, among many others

Ah, damn it. (Great news for Reptile, though!)

Murderer Michael Murphy dead. 4 points to Dr T. So after all that brouhaha at the start of the month, Dr T is probably heading into Round 2 now. 1. JoeMoneyPenny Vs. Pedro 3-3 2. Nantonian 2013 Vs. Maryportfuncity 0-3 3. Gooseberry Crumble Vs. John Key 0-3 4. Spade Cooley Vs. Squonk 16-0 5. Markb4 vs Dr T 0-10 6. Banana Vs. Great Uncle Bulgaria 12-3 7. Yorkshire Banker Vs. Skinny Kiltrunner 9-9 8. Alt Obits Guy Vs. Time 13-0 9. Clorox Vs. Fixed Business 16-3 10. The Mad Hatter Vs. Exu 9-0 11. Master Tech Vs. Bibliogryphon 0-0 12. The Unknown Man Vs. Boudicca 0-3 13. Torva Messor Vs. The Old Crem 10-3 14. The Quim Reaper Vs. BuffaloPhil 6-3 15. Wormfarmer Vs. The Old Lady 6-7

So to sum up her blog update: 3 hospital stays, 2 of them over a week, in last 3 months. Bone fractures and spinal weakness caused by cancer spread. 2 falls. Struggling to breathe. Heart problem being looked into, meaning all her treatment has to currently be stopped. Traveled to France in October but caught a lung infection there and nearly sepsis, seemingly downhill since.

Midnight on the 28th. Basically, February UK time OK, March UK time too late.
