    Maybe I should think about it again, haha! Translation: 1 - And what about you in Cologne? - On my balcony, roasting my nuts in the sun, listening to ABBA! Pleasant for the nerves! 2 - Yeah, sun! Now that it's just April! And once more no rain! The Summer is frightening me more than the virus .. - By the way, what about the two new ABBA songs they had promised? - What? 3 - No one's talking about that anymore! A new album by ABBA right now, this would keep humanity sweet! - Probably there'd be peace in Palestine! 4 - Right, as long as we've got fresh water for our diswasher, the only thing missing are two new songs by Abba! Sagat, stop it! - Somebody should talk to Björn! -Absolutely

    The 2020 Deathlist Cup

    One hit after all! Believe it or not but once I considered Bob Glanzer, Hassan Hussein, John Pine, Christophe and Abba Kyari taken up in my April-Cup-team. But then I found much better picks, which seemed to be in more critical conditions, and I chose them instead. I don't have to say more. Congratulations, Jiroemon!

    20 /20

    Ok, the last hit that counted was Javier Perez de Cuellar on March 5th. After that hit every player who wants to play within the next round (which runs up to the next hit) has the oppurtunity to send in his team. This team can be the same as last round or maybe a new one or maybe some picks are changed or snatched from other players. A hit means, that this person was within a team of current players. Current players are Bibliogryphon, YoungWillz, Death Impends and me. Others come and go, everyone is welcome! So join us, but please send in a correct team: A pick can't be used twice in one round (e.g. I have Pierre Cardin and you also picked him, but I sent my team first, so you can't pick him) and has to be the right year of birth (e.g. Vera Lynn was not born in 1920). Also, this game is called 20/20 which contains the years 1920 to 1929. Not 1930. Everything's clear now?

    @Yvonne If your team had been correct, you would have received a point now for Stirling Moss. You may want to revise your team again.

    20 /20

    Yes, no problem. Duplicate picks are not allowed in this little game, e.g. Jackie Stallone and Prince Philip are both in my team this round. And I guess that Vera Lynn is born in 1917, not 1920.

    20 /20

    Yes, but he left us all alone and didn't show up for ages. So we took over! And yeah, I only will take part up to the end of the year. But maybe other players will stay - so welcome @Yvonne

    Hopefully not. Personally I don't need new ABBA-songs. And I don't want them to disassemble themselves and their iconic status to be scratched.

    Unbelievable but true, the lovely ABBA-icon Agnetha is getting 70 today! Congratulations!

    Marianne Faithfull

    Oh no, not my Marianne! But of course, with all her health problems, she is a risk patient! I keep my fingers crossed that she gets through.
  21. Unfortunately that's often the case with the international press and the obituaries for the Germans...especially for the so called qualifying obituaries which are accepted for many death pools.
