In terms of age Toast has an advantage as four of her picks are older than the cabinet ministers but some of them will need a following wind for an obituary. In addition being professional athletes they may maintain a more healthy life style than the trough feeders Looking like a tense competition Vasily Borisov (b.1922) Irene Camber (b1926) Gordy Giovenelli (b.1925) Koji Murofushi (b.1974) Bob Richards (b.1926)

Dean Stockwell is a hit in the Star Trek category for @Perhaps bringing up a second hit in this category and a fifth overall and @Toast who gets her first hit in the Star Trek category and her fourth overall but those four hits are all in different categories so we are now in a winning position British Cabinet Ministers vs Summer Gold Medal Olympians The following ten hits will see the game end 1. Vasily Borisov (to) 2. Irene Camber (to) 3. Gordy Giovenelli (to) 4. Roy Hattersley (mc) 5. Douglas Hurd (mc) 6. Nigel Lawson (mc) 7. John Morris (mc) 8. Koji Murofushi (to) 9. Bob Richards (to) 10. Bill Rodgers (mc) Game (as they say) On!

I have John Woodvine Sorry

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) who has appeared in an official EON James Bond film between Dr No & No Time To Die ( 2. Any player who was part of a FIFA Men's World Cup Finals squad (don't have to have played in the tournament) 3. Anyone who has won a Nobel Prize in any category 4. Any human deemed to have achieved spaceflight (according to this wiki list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_astronauts_by_first_flight ) 5. Any on-stage performer for a country in a Eurovision Grand Final. Teams must be PM’d to avoid revealing those unique picks. There will be a two week period at the beginning of September 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 September 2020

Congrats to @MariNisia Second round starting today.

Dean Smith sacked by Aston Villa

I am beginning to worry about a Clifford Rose obituary

Saw him at the RSC a few times. Very sad day.

This means the Jon Pertwee writers are all gone before the Patrick Troughton writers There are a handful of Tom Baker writers left IIRC Chris Boucher Christopher H Bidmead Andrew Smith Andrew McCulloch

It will be my intention to run 20/20 + 2 which is still proving to be enormous fun for a handful of players but that is the only game I run that is a calendar year. However both my other games are one hit away from ending so we could easily be in to a Silver Screen or Scavenger Hunt preseason at the end of the year (or we could still be here in 12 months)

I work on mine throughout the year but I have recently decided to seperate out my shadow list and my predict the official list as there are a lot of names on my shadow list that I do not think the committee would consider prime example being Timothy Dudley-Smith

Name That Fune(ral)

One word, one syllable sounds like head

North Shropshire: At the last election Owen Paterson had over 60% of the vote The seat had neve left Conservative hands The low water mark was 1997 when Paterson stood for the first time. At that election which was a huge Labour landslide the Conservatives won with around 40% of the vote with a majority of less than 2200 Labour has been second in every elections since 1997 with the exception of 2010. Shropshire vote 57:43 to leave the EU in 2016

She intends to appeal so a recall petition cannot happen until the appeal has been completed. This one has been kicked into the New Year I would suggest

He was on my by-election bingo list so he is a points scorer for me This will probably be the most interesting by-election of the four

The Booker Prize was awarded yesterday and so I realised my list has not been updated since 2018 but the past winners are showing remarkable staying power Surviving Booker Prize Winners Salman Rushdie (1947) Thomas Keneally (1935) J M Coetzee (1940) Keri Hume (1947) Penelope Lively (1933) Peter Carey (1943) Kazuo Ishiguro (1954) A S Byatt (1936) Ben Okri (1959) Michael Ondaatje (1943) Roddy Doyle (1958) James Kelman (1946) Pat Barker (1943) Graham Swift (1949) Arundhati Roy (1961) Ian McEwan (1948) Margaret Atwood (1939) Yann Martel (1963) DBC Pierre (1961) Alan Hollinghurst (1954) John Banville (1945) Kiran Desai (1971) Anne Enright (1962) Aravind Adiga (1974) Hilary Mantel (1952) Howard Jacobson (1942) Julian Barnes (1946) Eleanor Catton (1985) Richard Flanagan (1961) Marlon James (1970) Paul Beatty (1962) George Saunders (1958) Anna Burns (1962) Bernadine Evaristo (1959) Douglas Stuart (1976) Damon Galgut (1963)

What happens when you are abandoned naked in London's dockland and you have to dress yourself from a bag of clothes left outside a charity shop

The pacemaker will probably give him 10+ years bar any other conditions

There were 13 MPs who did not vote for Leadsom ammendment. Many of these are Red Wall Tories so they may be considering how this would go down in those constituencies.

Anni-frid does not look well in this picture There appears to be some curvature of the spine and her smile looks unnatural

It is interesting to note the Grim Reaper seems to be working through this list in reverse order Is it time to get Peter Greenaway on a list?
