Bibliogryphon

He is quite good at what he does. It really depends on whether you like what he does. I much prefer pick of the pops now that Paul Gambachini presents it because he has more musical authority but they still try to put Blackburnesque quips in that fall totally flat

As champion @Book got to pick first and I must admit it seemed like a good pick but at this stage of life none of these will be a shock So there are now half a dozen remaining and I have found no evidence any of them have gone off radar Ben Ferencz.(Joey Russ) Ann Fortune Fitzroy (Yvonne) Loretta Ford (ThereWillBeDeaths7) Dominique Marcas (Lafaucheuse) Bill Pitman (Death Impends) Arnold Yarrow (Bibliogryphon) I will be planning a residual 1921 game at the end of 20/20+1

State of play after 35 hits Annami - 7 Chilean Way - 5 MariNisa - 5 Captain Chorizo - 5 Death Impends - 3 Bibliogryphon - 3 Daniel-san - 2 Yvonne -2 Book - 1 The Old Crem -1 WEP - 1 Is a two point lead a sufficient cushion to last another 6 weeks?

Congrats @WEP 1921 Elizabeth Kelly/Ray Lawler 1922 Ruth Bidgood/John B Goodenough 1923 Gloria Whelan/ Henry Kissinger 1924 Priscilla Pointer/Sheldon Harnick 1925 Ysanne Churchman/Pete Murray 1926 Gudrun Ure/Leonard Fenton 1927 Leotyne Price/Kenneth Anger 1928 Estelle Harris/Jean Marie Le Pen  1929 Patricia Routledge/John Woodvine  1930 Edna O'Brien/Bill Treacher

However I will probably start playing the Queen much lower down in the Inverse Deadpool from now on

I think it might be worth remembering how long it was between the Duke of Edinburgh having prolonged hospital stays and not appearing at events to his eventual demise.

That sounds like a bribe. Is it cheaper or more expensive than a Tory MP?

Wilbur Smith is hit 31 for me

Henry Woolf is a first hit here for @YorkshireBanker as we approach the one year mark for this game.

Twitter reporting the death of Roy Holder. Krelper in Caves of Androzani and Chas in Ace of Wands. He is only the second cast member of the 1995 BBC adaptation of Pride & Prejudice to die

No I am the game runner The players have to pick 50 out of the 350 and they score depending on how many people pick that person. They have five jokers and one joker must be under 65 Then they play a wildcard of someone who is not on the list as an extra bonus

I have just prepared the 350 name entry form for my 'work' game for 2022 Which is usually a prompt for the people on it to start dying

Please replace F W de Klerk with Peter Greenaway

F W de Klerk brings me up to 30

Just for the record I am HIM

B****T

Nice Or should that be niche?

Clifford Rose is hit no. 29 for me

Clifford Rose will be a hit for me here when his Guardian obituary finally appears

OK so the BBC can whack this out instantly but there is still not a proper Obit for Clifford Rose

See how it works and some changes may become obvious for the second round

I am also uneasy about teams being held back once the game has started because you can be strategic with your replacements by effectively scuppered people's uniques but if you cannot see all the teams it is not a level playing field

More likely he has been offered the Norwich job but when he was at Leicester there was an issue when the club issued a statement that he was OK.

Saving your ammunition for the next round

Three way tie for second place now
