Tom Parker hits back at vile troll who says that he don't survive it: https://metro.co.uk/2021/06/02/tom-parker-hits-back-at-vile-troll-who-says-he-wont-beat-brain-tumour-14696240/

I really hate to be "that guy" but Banana should have nine points? Yeah, 4 hits in a day, probably a record.

Good morning, well I congratulations both of you for a first day hit, just like this game wants it. Maybe we should modify the rules: "When the time of death cannot be established, the publishing date of QO OR first one to be posted on forum, counts".

Well, I own the Pulitzer Prize winning books by Robert Caro (on LBJ), Saul Friedländer (about the Holocaust) and David McCullough (Pres. Adams). I want to read "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy. He's also not in the best of health, it has been said.

Ujwal Thapa is no more: https://english.onlinekhabar.com/bibeksheel-nepali-founder-ujwal-thapa-no-more.html

By the way, this link says he died at 7:30 am local time: https://www.thekashmirmonitor.net/mufti-faiz-ul-waheed-passes-away/ Jammu is 4 1/2 hours ahead of London, so he died at 3:00 am game time. I always wondered how the time zone problem would work, but here, it's all good anyway.

Well, from here on, I can only go down... I find it kind of funny, that you can research your ass off, trying to get an advantage, and then, three out of four teams have such a totally obscure name such as Ujwal Thapa, or Carl Bean.

Dancer Eileen Kramer, 106 years old. Already picked on the Centenarians Pool, but now there's a BBC profile: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-57250509 However, currently she's still dancing and does not feel old.

I submitted, too, about 15 minutes ago. Good luck to all, and to the ones we picked.

Another small update, it seems we picked the wrong ones lately. Still, the one big change is at the top, where JoeyRuss passes Cpt. Chorizo because of the pick of Rachel Zoll. So we have a new leader! There was also popular pick Norman Lloyd. And strangely, that seems to be it! Two hits in 4 weeks! The biggest drought this pool has ever seen. Or did I miss anyone? But before I show the scoreboard, I want to remind you that the replacement period is on July 1st, in one month! You can replace five current names on your team by five new ones on that day. I will also replace two members of my team on the day before, as a reminder for you and a small benefit for me, the host.. I will choose two widely known names that can be expected to be on everyone's subs bench anyway. Don't feel obliged to pick my names. Last year, Derek Draper and Alessandro Zanardi - that was a bust.... And you don't need to replace anyone if you don't want to. Anyway, here are the scores: Rank Team Score 1 JoeyRuss 836 2 Cpt. Chorizo 835 3 Salmon Mousse 748 4 gcreptile 729 5 Banana 659 6 Death Impends 646 7 An Fear Beag 526 8 Book 460 9 drol 451 10 DevonDeathTrip 437 11 Wormfarmer 436 12 msc 435 13 theoldlady 396 14 Lynchian 364 15 The Unknown Man 316 16 The Daredevil 291 17 The Quim Reaper 290 18 Kenny 261 19 Annami 257 20 Joe Moneypenny 253 21 The Old Crem 247 22 chilean way 223 23 Baby Blue 220 24 markb4 205 25 Etushipushingupdaisies 190 26 Yorkshire Banker 183 27 Sean 165 28 Grand Uncle Bulgaria 160 29 mr.whit 156 30 Charles De Gaulle 119 31 Bibliogryphon 93 32 Gooseberry Crumble 75 33 etib80 68 34 Toast 53 35 Guyfromfuture 33

Ha, no. I never went. But I've seen a lot. Still, some are worse.

Yahoo Indonesia is on it: https://id.berita.yahoo.com/beauty-vlogger-korea-dawn-lee-020020850.html If Yahoo UK / Finance / Sports joins in, well.. there was a winning path that led through Sarena Li and Dawn Lee.

Dr. Georgina Morgan

6,3 Million followers - yes, he easily qualifies.

That's an interesting trivia question. Historically, the record probably goes to Alyce Fisher, daughter of the longest-married couple in history: https://gerontology.wikia.org/wiki/Herbert_Fisher,_Sr. (Karam and Kartari Chand might actually have had wrong dates, they are not Guinness Book confirmed.) Alyce Fisher died at 85, and was survived by both parents.

I'm trying! And at least I haven't yet posted about "British Tik Tok Granpa".

Edit: Meh, new article, but old news, sorry!
