I wonder if Liz Truss' gut bacteria are killing her.

She can't leave yet, this thread hasn't reached 200 pages.

New album, still in good shape, it seems, and quite self-depreciating: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/sep/08/ozzy-osbourne-patient-number-9-review-immortal-king-of-heavy-metal-cheats-death-again

We've had a couple of deathlist hits of 90+ year old people who, out of the blue, simply died. Feels strange if it happened to Elizabeth though, I mean, she's THE name. I've expected 2-3 years of barely hanging on, like it happened to Prince Philip. Seems everything is possible now.

Glad you survived this one.

Seriously? Just Jackin'?

Taxi Driver director Paul Schrader seems to have a serious illness but doctors are unsure what it is, either something with the lungs or with the heart: https://dailytimes.com.pk/993117/film-legend-paul-schrader-is-seriously-ill-but-on-a-roll/ However, I already posted something similar in 2020 (in another thread). So, maybe it got worse, or it's not really news.

The search function tells me that somebody here has picked Lars Vogt - can't find it right now without my Excel sheet. This player can enjoy a Guardian QO: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/sep/06/lars-vogt-royal-northern-sinfonia-trust-and-generosity-michael-odonnell Edit: By the way, here's another way of saying he died, "he slipped away in hospital". Second Edit: Seems he was just a sub for Predictor. Well, I'll check again.

An Irish poet brings us to 7 deaths for the 5th, so while it took some time we're now within the usual numbers.

Not a single "real" obit, it seems.

Think I'll wait for worse weather to give it a try. @MortalCaso I thought the final season was... okay. There's definitely a loss in quality though once the show runs out of books to cover.

Here we are again. Seems like Mr./Mrs. Death exhausted themselves with our recent big names.

Yeah, I know how you feel.... Like you, I'm second behind Banana in AltObits. And in both pools, we scored with Bill Turnbull and Banana didn't. And in both pools we should have picked Robyn Griggs. Only after it was too late did I discover that I actually had her on my longlist before you mentioned her in the Cup. I had just forgotten about it because I didn't have the time for my annual longlist check last December. Edit: While I'm at it, my prediction of the Death By Numbers winner this year though, is neither you, nor Banana (nor me), but An Fear Beag. Had the feeling from the start.

Depends if the party finds an alternative. The Republicans COULD switch away from Trump, but they know that it means losing some votes for the next 1-2 elections, short-term vs. long-term thinking. It does look like Trump is managing to keep the party dependent on him. I kind of suspect that BoJo will find his own microphone in the media.

She's going to lose massively - BoJo will be back soon. He's the new Berlusconi.

SkySports journalist Jo Wilson has been diagnosed with stage 3b cervical cancer: https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/breaking-sky-sports-jo-cancer-27908049 Not the best prognosis for this case.

Alright, where were we? Carl Kabat has indeed received the rare New York Times only obit. Well done, Salmon Mousse. It's something Mildred Kornman hasn't yet achieved for the players who have picked her. Most of the attention however goes to our three big hits of the past weeks: Mikhail Gorbachev, Tom Weiskopf and Bill Turnbull. Those names ensure that almost everybody gets some points now. But also, there was Lenny Johnrose who actually was a unique hit for Sean, well done! And this seems to be it? No Helen Grayco, Tim Page, Jerry Allison, etc.... well, if there's one name, just tell me. Edit: I see, someone had picked Robyn Griggs Wiley, as Robyn Griggs. Interesting! Scoreboard updated. The scoreboard is a little more crowded at the top now. And the lower ranks get a nice boost almost across the board. Everybody is now in the triple-digits!

Seems like a fitting comparison now. Like Deborah James, Alagiah is doing a good job keeping up appearances. Tumours seem to move with similar speed and the side effects keep accumulating. Alagiah is older than her though, so he might just run out of energy a little earlier.

Biggest misread of the year for us. But was there any way to know?

Barbara Ehrenreich, leftist-feminist-socialist activist and author, dead at 81: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/02/books/barbara-ehrenreich-dead.html Can I get "rule of three" going, next one Julia Reichert?

Belated LotL-er.... didn't realize at the time.
