One of the only British footballers (the only?) to score in two European Cup finals.

That's not the one I find interesting, and that's all my poker face will allow me to admit. Also, @gcreptile, struck me C James would be open like that hence trying to give first names when needed. (Or, err, when I could give them off the top of my head in some cases...) Certainly think Heef is doing well, but there's lots of possible winners, including yourself. I mean, I'd have had DI as a banker Final 4 candidate, but TDC has put a lot of effort into their team - that tie is too close to call as it stands, imo.

Suisala is Joey's joker so he'd lose more points? I dunno. It's all maths to me.

Bruce as Dictator. Such a half-assed crowd, terrified by an old man.

Nevin should obit. She's a criminal with a nickname. Mail will be all over that.

Silly Brucie, that sign's for traffic!

Well, I'm sure if she ever developed a taste for homeopathy, there's a friendly family member close to hand with all the gossip.

Yeah iirc he doesn't recognise friends any more so gets upset.

Though if folk could leave their forum bans till after elimination from the Cup, it'd save me more issues in future rounds...

Aye, here's to hopefully working knees and all that.

Now that's just giving a bad name to syphilis, comparing the two like that.

Fixed a few bugs people have mentioned. As for Riggs, I did confer (with myself) which precedent to chose from February, and decided that people found to be dead the previous month (February) on the 1st of the month (March) can be swapped with a sub (as happened for Carsten Mohren in Round 1), and those discovered to be dead after - as in the case of the 5th Feb discovery by one Gcreptile - are shit out of luck. So Spade's sub moves into play.

As usual, we're taking local times after Kick Off, which means Tania counts as 1st March death**. And, under the strictest definition of the rules, is very lucky for some*, but so it goes. *by which I mean the person who got her in a team 10 mins before a death announcement. Had the news broke first, obviously they'd need a sub in play. **It's an imperfect ruling, but I'm an imperfect guy... Rad’s Die-monds in the Sky (Rad Guy) vs Bibliogryphon 0-0 The Dead Cow vs Tommy J’s Eleven to Heaven – Or Elsewhere for Nevin (Death Impends) 2-2 Heef vs Death Comes to Wembley (Garn2) 2-0 Maryportfuncity vs 101 Great Practical Jokes with Luciano Re Cecconi (Spade Cooley) 0-2 Captain Chorizo vs The GUN’11 (Grim Up North) 0-0 The Cooler Name (Switch) vs DDT 0-2 Deadsox vs Pedro67 0-0 Rover’s Rovers (Roverandout) vs “O” (gcreptile) 0-2

You did, YW, but I missed this at the time, and it seems to have missed much everyone else too. If it's from his own sons mouth, pretty true! List shall be edited.

And wham, the draw for the Quarterfinals has been made. Nothing to worry folk till later in March, but here's how the route to the Semis looks for everyone in the final 16... Quarterfinals 1. Switch or DDT vs Rad Guy or Bibliogryhon 2. Roverandout or Gcreptile vs The Dead Cow or Death Impends 3. Maryportfuncity or Spade Cooley vs Deadsox or Pedro67 4. Captain Chorizo or Grim Up North vs Heef or Garn2

Over the years I've been trying to piece together a list of Doctor Who living guest actors/producers. It'll never complete as there's always new episodes, and a lot of the bit parts from back in the day disappear without Dates of Birth or Death. However, for starters, here's the verifiable oldest and living Who guest stars, main cast, producers, directors, etc etc Earl Cameron (b. 1917) - appeared in The Tenth Planet. Arnold Yarrow (b. 1920) - appeared in Death to the Daleks. Peter Sallis (b. 1921) - you know who he is. Appeared in The Ice Warriors. Dudley Simpson (b. 1922) - composer Gordon Sterne (b. 1923) - Also in An American Werewolf in London Nicholas Parsons (b. 1923) William Russel (b. 1924) - Ian Chesterton Donald Pelmear (b. 1924) - Appeared in The Time Warrior. Geoffrey Bayldon (b. 1924) David Graham (b. 1925) - Voice of Parker and Brains from Thunderbirds. Also had memorable turns in The Gunfighters and City of Death. Bill Sellars (b. 1925) - Co-created All Creatures Great and Small. Directed The Celestial Toymaker. George A Cooper (b. 1925) Morris Perry (b. 1925) Ysanne Churchman (b. 1925) James Garbutt (b. 1925) - Genesis of the Daleks Laurie Webb (b. 1925) - Three Doctors Andre Maranne (b. 1926) - better known from The Pink Panther series of films. Also, not dead yet, despite internet rumours. Glyn Houston (b. 1926) Geoffrey Palmer (b. 1927) June Brown (b. 1927) Frank Windsor (b. 1927) Ken Dodd (b. 1927) Mark Eden (b. 1928) Terry Bale (b. 1928) Donald Tosh (b. 1928) - Hartnell era script editor Ian Frost (b. 1928) - The Ark Paddy Russell (c. 1928) - directed The Massacre, Pyramids of Mars, Invasion of the Dinosaurs and Horror of Fang Rock Moray Watson (b. 1928) - Black Orchid Peter Cellier (b. 1928) Peter Wyngarde (b. 1928) Michael Craig (b. 1928) - you can watch this underrated classic era British actor struggle through Pip and Jane Baker dialogue in Terror of the Vervoids. Georgine Anderson (b. 1928) - Gridlock Colin Jeavons (b. 1929) Steve Machin (b. 1929) - Dalek Master Plan Frank Mills (b. 1929) - Terror of the Autons Damaris Hayman (b. 1929) David Fisher (c. 1929) - wrote Stones of Blood, Androids of Tara, City of Death (first draft) and Creature from the Pit. Now in very poor health in nursing home. John Woodvine (b. 1929) Clifford Rose (b. 1929) Philip Latham (b. 1929) John Nettleton (b. 1929) Thelma Barlow (b. 1929) Anyhow, time presses so that's the confirm-ably living ones which would qualify for those 20/20 games folk like to play. When I have more time I'll look at the living 1930s folk, there's a lot more of them. Also, I'm pretty sure there's at least 20 walk on parts still living aged 87 or older, but disappeared from view. Never mind, if they turn up, they turn up, and that list is all QO certs.

3 deaths in one day. Now watch there be no deaths for weeks once midnight passes... We're only waiting for one of the 16 entrants now. Who has...2 hours and 14 mins left to enter.

Awesome, great work Ali! Be afraid Rad Guy, be very afraid! Although, Maryport is appearing ominously in the rear-view mirror.

According to Twitter, Ray Clemence is having another bout of chemo.

Good luck. You have 6 hours left!

No worries, awaiting 3 people still. Of course, 2 of them are in the same tie! (I have the runner up from one of the Round 1 matches involved send me in a team to be in a safe side, are they about become the Luckiest Losers* in tournament history?) *it's tennis terminology before anyone thinks I'm using insults.

Well now I'm just going to imagine him checking Wiki one day, and promptly expiring.

That's a Cup sub for Rad Guy.
