Lord Laird not in the best of health, has heart problems, or so he says: http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-northern-ireland-41349379

Hmm, not really...try a different broswer? Allow some cookies?

So after one month, August 25th is still at only 5 notable deaths. It's the most deathless day in years!

Legendary butcher Marco Peerdeman has died suddenly: http://meatinfo.co.uk/news/fullstory.php/aid/21766/Industry_legend_Marco_Peerdeman_passes_away.html He was one of The Netherlands' "most prolific Butchers" and had lived in London for the past 10 years. He also was, for example, Chief of Judges at the World Steak Challenge 2017. Edit: Could he have died of heart failure?

Did Shameless pick the wrong fattie?

I actually think it's a somewhat easy feat to achieve - easier than it might seem. I think Spade could have done it, for example, if he hadn't gone for the relatively young Greg Gilbert, but, say Violet Brown, or someone like that. But we all take risks for the lower age brackets. It hurt my main team too much this year and I might take a different approach the next time. But take the eight names above (though some of them will still die), plus a couple of low-hanging fruit, Dilip Kumar, for example. Plus possible new must-haves like John McCain or José José (if he survives) and I think you get a floor of 12-13 hits. Then pick Richard Overton or the new oldest person of the world. And you get a relatively low score, but 15 hits without a lot of risk.

Reiterating my prediction that 2018 will see the first team with 20 hits.

That picture... let him die, please...

Well, I can't complain for not picking him. I got some correct inside information. But the cancer returned with a vengeance. It happens I guess... Edit: DQSP and GS are level now. Cryne and Elias are on a timer... but what about King Michael... survival mystery of the year..

I see. So for South Florida, he was the Beatles' .... rickshaw.

Thank you. So 69 club then.... Didn't someone put him into a deadpool last year and had everyone guessing? Did that person know about the stroke?

He's been hospitalized for 10 days already, but looks forward to getting home: http://cjonline.com/news/2017-09-22/former-sen-bob-dole-hospital-low-blood-pressure-hopes-sip-cosmo-home-soon
