My March team: 1. Edmund Capon (5 pts) 2. Eusebio Pedroza (4 pts - assuming MorbidKid already took him ;)) 3. Barbara Hammer (5 pts) 4. Stanley Crouch (5 pts) 5. Billy Clayton (5 pts)

Yay! Okay, this song by a non-UK band became a nr 1 hit in the UK almost 4 years after the release of its album. Also, obligatory:

Since I have a next one, I really, really want to solve this, so: Siouxsie and the Banshees - Arabian Knights

Just Can't Get Enough by Depeche Mode?

Ok, revealed as I have apparently killed the thread. The solution is "Being John Malkovich". Here's the quoted scene: Over to anyone who wants...

It's oh so quiet? Hit for Björk

True story: She just turned 90 a few days ago and there were articles in the german-speaking press about it, like here: https://www.schweizer-illustrierte.ch/stars/schweiz/uriella-wird-heute-90-jahre-alt-oder-doch-nicht The article mentions that she wasn't seen in public for years and suggests that she might have been dead for years. And quite suspicious timing of her death - I run with it.

Well, it's obvious who is to blame - millenials.

Like, but dislike ;)(

Ok, he was kind of gone for 25 years already, but still, it would make me very, very sad. He is/was the genius who turned Talk Talk into the first post Rock band. No Radiohead without Mark Hollis. Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock are two of the most beautiful albums ever recorded.

Harry Reid says he won't endorse until the Nevada caucuses (in about a year). He thinks he's going to make it that far? https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/431080-harry-reid-says-he-wont-make-2020-endorsement-until-after-nevada-caucus

Giuseppe Mifsud Bonnici is dead. The former Maltese Chief Justice is neither Karmenu Mifsud Bonnici who would be my second unique hit, nor Ugo Mifsud Bonnici, who would win the game for Spade: https://www.timesofmalta.com/mobile/articles/view/20190222/local/former-chief-justice-giuseppe-mifsud-bonnici-passes-away.702648

A quick and dirty update before I collapse from coughing and sneezing.. Quite the interesting bunch of hits, Stanley Donen, Peter Tork, Gordon Banks, Bruno Ganz, Michael Murphy, Paul Flynn and Jordan Dawes with the perfect score of 100. Bernice McCabe, so far, is a non-obit. Three players are waiting. Will the broadsheets pick up her name? Tanya Gendle... I will let subs come into place. Joey gets Beth Chapman, and Clorox... well, letting her get subbed is me being slightly generous, but his sub, Pauline Maroney, is not famous enough as a fringe pick. His second sub would be Steffan Lewis, which is a problem. Can I award these points kind of retroactively? I decided against it, because he never really was in the game to score. So the third sub Leah Bracknell is going to come into play. Hopefully an acceptable compromise, as there are clouds appearing on her horizon. And Michael Murphy, I know his age at time of death (66) but not the year of death. He could have been born in either 1952 or 1953. I will now award the 52 points. If you come across any proof that he was born in 1953 (and celebrated a final birthday in 2019), show it to me.

Well she would have been my joker - so...mixed news.

Thanks! Update on Sunday, I think.

A bit like Gemma Nuttall, the one with the aid of Kate Winslet. When your cancer is already advanced, immunotherapy can help to give you a few months, but not more than that at the current stage.

Thought I had him in a pool, because I suggested him - but that was years ago!

Lagerfeld died of pancreatic cancer, or so Wiki says. Explains the fast decline and the "exhaustion" I noticed last month.

I'd be optimistic. Can't deny I'm jealous, because she was the "pick I fell in love with" and rejected because of the fear of seeing more than there is.

Ooh, msc's non-obit theme team might have found its Andy Anderson of 2020.

Oh, and her brother-in-law was Baron Harkonnen, the Duke of Giedi Prime who died in a terrorist attack in 1965.

We actually do have quite a few separate threads for all these fake sports, not just Darts, but also Snooker, Chess and Cricket.

February is outpacing January - interesting.

There's a thread for him? Wow... Anyway....mid 2018 he had pancreatitis and recently, he was diagnosed with throat cancer: https://www.bild.de/unterhaltung/leute/leute/krebs-schock-tumor-im-hals-bei-ernst-august-von-hannover-60112354.bild.html (german link)
