    So sad I never got to see him alive.A great musician who had a unique style.Well done to the committee for picking him.I left him out of my DDP and Shadow list so am looking rather foolish.

    John McCain

    "I was very pleased with his progress," Graham toldCNN's Dana Bash. "He's making progress. We laughed a little bit. We cried a little bit. I admire him greatly and I'm hoping he can come back and be with us." Note how he says hopes rather than saying he will be back soon.

    Lindsey Graham went to see him at his home a few days ago.Said he was encouraged by his progress but that they "shared tears" and that he hopes to be back to the Senate soon.

    Tessa Jowell

    Just listened to the interview in full.Key points.She was diagnosed because she had a seizure and lost consciousness for several days.She has no treatment options left on the NHS but is looking into immunotherapy in Germany.She struggled with getting her words out at times and had unusually high blink rate as well as looking visibly gaunt pale and frail.I would guess it is weeks rather than months.

    It is but the head of a brain tumour charity described it as "high grade".If that had been a mistake it would have been clarified or denied.

    Fantasy Football 2017-2018

    Running this again.Doing it as the Premier League has ended and if we wait a few weeks we could miss out some deaths. Whilst looking at my longlists for the DDP it struck me just how many footballers were on it and really decent candidates.We have the Alzheimers epidemic substance abuse and mental health issues in many former footballers.So I thought let's do a death list fantasy football competition.Here are the rules: 1)Pick 15 names of current or former professional footballers from any level or era.As long as they are alive and you expect to be able to find any professional death notice/obituary. 2) You need the following set of players 2 Goalkeepers 5 Midfielders 5 Defenders 3 Strikers (As long as the player has it one point professionally worked in that position at some point in their career) 3)Out of the 15 players please designate your main team of 11 players.Any format is ok as long as you have a goalkeeper at least one striker and least 3 Defenders. 4)The game is live as of now and entries can be submitted at any time.The game will finish on the 13th May 2018. 5)The season ends at the same time the premier league does.The next season will start directly after though to avoid people potentially missing hits! 6)Scoring:a reserve will give you one point a main player 3 and a team captain will give you 6 points. 7)Most points at end of season wins. 8)You get to replace a hit whenever one dies 9)No transfer days.Too tricky for me to keep up with that amount of changes.As death by numbers showed I am crap at complex calculations. 10)Best of British luck. 11)The Sun loathes this pool so if you didn`t have a reason for etering before you do now. A reminder of last years scoreboard.An uneventful first year as it only lasted 5 months and produced two hits.Steve Sumner and Billy Simpson. msc:6 Chopped Liver :3 Shaun of the Dead:3 Here is my team for round 2 2017-2018 : My team: Shaun's Rovers Entire team:(15) Goalkeepers: Gordon Banks Peter Bonetti Midfielders: Martin Peters Nobby Stiles Paul Madeley Jimmy Conway Stan Bowles Defenders Peter Swan (born 1936) Ray Wilson Jack Charlton Billy McNeill Jimmy Armfield Strikers: Gerd Muller Jimmy Greaves Stevie Chalmers Main team:(11) Goalkeeper:Peter Bonetti Defenders:Peter Swan Jack Charlton Ray Wilson Billy McNeill Midfielders:Nobby Stiles (Captain) Martin Peters Stan Bowles Jimmy Conway Strikers:Stevie Chalmers Gerd Muller I mucked up by confusing football leagues.Apologies I am not a huge follower of Football myself.As I have given very little notice I am bringing over Chopped Liver`s and msc`s entry over from last time.If either of you want to change your team or withdraw from the competition please let me know. msc 2 Goalkeepers Gordon Banks Antonio Carbajal 5 Midfielders Nobby Stiles Hans Schafer Horst Eckel Martin Peters Tostao 5 Defenders Franz Beckenbauer George Haigh George Cohen Carlos Puyol John Terry 3 Strikers Gerd Muller Jimmy Greaves Ian St John (captain) Chopped Liver: I guess you could call this the Liver Pool. I'll get my coat Squad declaration for the Liver Pool: First team: GK: Ted Burgin DF: Tommy Banks DF: Bill Slater DF: Ray Wilson DF: Roy Bentley MF: Peter Lorimer MF: Albert Quixall MF: Fernando Ricksen (Captain) MF: Nobby Stiles ST: Jimmy Greaves ST: Ivor Broadis Subs Bench: GK: Colin McDonald DF: Franz Beckenbauer MF: Castor Cantero ST: Ian St John

    Derby Dead Pool 2018

    I stil love the game.The obit rules make it more interesting.I avoided cancer mums and most FFBI.The only FFBI out of my 60 is Noel Conway but if he overturned the the law on assisted dying would go down in history.Also I consider him an activist.
