In the windows of an empty retail unit in the neighbouring town they put up a Queen's Platinum Jubilee display featuring drawings from local school children. This one always makes me smile

SCAVENGER HUNT BINGO DEADPOOL RULES Each player picks five selections in each of five categories (for categories see below). There are three ways to win 1. You get at least one hit in each of the five categories 2. You get all five hits in one category 3. You get three unique hits across the whole game.  There is no fixed duration you play until there is a winner. In the event of a tie number of uniques will be the next determiner followed by total number of hits across all categories. Obits will not be stringent (more akin to Deathrace requirements). However the Game Controller will be checking that picks meet the category criteria at the start of the game. A unique pick is considered unique in category. For example if two categories were Conservative MPs and Contestants on Strictly Come Dancing/Dancing with the Stars and three players picked Edwina Curry in the first category and the fourth player picked her in the second category. If she eggspired then Player 4 would get a unique bonus. When a winner is declared the selection of the next categories passes to the victor and they get to select the new categories. The winner may opt to pass or play on the organisation of the game. If they pass I will run the game based on their selections or they can take the whole thing. The Categories for the third game are: 1. Any actor (gender neutral term) to appear on screen in any Star Trek franchise (TV or Film) 2. Any player who was part of an MLB World Series Champion team 3. Distinguished Pulitzer Prize Winners (meaning no Staff Winners) 4. Summer Olympics Gold Medal Winners 5. UK Government cabinet ministers Teams must be PM’d to avoid revealing those unique picks. There will be a two week period at the beginning of June after the lists are published for disputes to be settled people whose picks are removed at this point will be allowed replacements but will not be allowed to pick another person's unique pick. Starting Date is 01 June 2021

My favourite Queen track is Don't Stop Me Now. Bowie track is probably Life on Mars Neither act will have another Seventies No.1 after these tracks and will not top the charts until Under Pressure in 1980.

If Bohemian Rhapsody and Space Oddity have been overplayed it is because they stand out from a lot of mediocre seventies music. Not only were they technically brilliant and original but they were both presented by extremely charismatic but challenging performers.

I think Devilgate Drive is a much stronger song than Can the Can but here it is amongst stiffer competition

I have replaced Rolf with Stanley Wells (in this round)

My list is done and dusted but I have just had to update it because Ned Rorem was on it

Two in a row for me brings up 40 hits. With 43 days left on the clock the scoreboard looks like this MariNisa - 8 Yvonne - 5 Bibliogryphon - 5 Grimgrass - 4 Arghton - 4 Hell - 3 Chilean Way - 3 Summer in Transylvania - 3 Doorslammer - 2 Death Impends - 1 Lady Fiona - 1 WEP - 1 Is there enough left for @MariNisia to be caught or will there name be carved on in the Deathlist Hall of Fame?

I am confused whether this is a competition or just a compilation of a huge list of names I might be tempted to play if I could understand the structure of the 'game'
