I am just checking out the opposition as most of those names are new to me

Not reacted well to these photos posting quite a snarky comment on Twitter but not sure how to get Twitter to come up on here.

If Freeman Dyson had held on for another 48 hours or so I might have started this game with a bang Lucky I put subs in

I am currently at Heathrow Airport. I will probably not get to this episode until March 12. If there are any shocks they are not going to be shocks to me are they....

This week just gets better and better. Following the death of my Auntie and my wife's Auntie. I have just had a text from my brother who has had a heart attack. However he didn't sign his text and I had not updated all my contacts to my new phone so I was desperately searching through my messages to find out who was telling me they had had a heart attack. He is under 60 and we thought in reasonable health. He is not concerned at the moment but it is a bit of a shock as I am in Madrid at the moment. On my way home though.

Are these real rumours or just ones you have started?

He is the brother of John Newman

BBC Obit for Clive Cussler https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-51644229

I know this will probably be in vain but if you take the Watanabe obituary as counting for Gustav Gerneth then whilst it will be no consolation for those that picked him in the calendar based polls but it would do me a massive favour here.

Looks like a hit for @YoungWillz with Nexhmije Hoxha not sure that Arab News is enough to deliver the point though https://www.arabnews.com/node/1633666/world

So Michael Medwin gives first hits here to @Grim Up North for The Longest Day and @Cat O'Falk for Crooks Anonymous

Michael Medwin a hit for me here I think.

Oft discussed actor Michael Medwin has died aged 96 https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-51649817

Second hit for my theme team and a unique at that Moving up my list from the bottom upwards Peter Ackroyd should be afraid

Because of the Tyson Fury fight there have been a lot of broadcast interviews with Frank Warren. I have not seen any TV footage but from the radio coverage he does not sound healthy

Keeps em guessing

It's only one step from that to Tying a Yellow Ribbon Round the Old Oak Tree

I would have sent him a telegram.

Don't everyone get excited this is not an update but I am currently in the Starbucks in Brussels airport which is where I started this thread over two years ago. As of Sunday the game will have reached the two year mark. Has anyone here had the misfortune to catch the ITV quiz show Tipping Point? That is where we are now.

Cark Like an Egyptian

Think JpdC might surprise us all.

My wife has just told me know that her Auntie has died as well. She would only be in her early eighties at most but had been in poor health but this was not expected. Her family are much younger than the corresponding relations on my side because I am the youngest child of an older parent (my Dad was 40 when I was born) Not a good time.
