maryportfuncity 10,657 Posted January 4, 2021 Aw, c'mon - all these marginal fame cases, all that careful research - seriously, are we gonna go a whole day without anyone scoring? 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,657 Posted January 5, 2021 So, a rampant pandemic running riot in the UK More marginal cases in dire need of local obits than the Deathrace has ever seen, and some likely hanging on with "underlying conditions" that have been overground for weeks and we've gone another scoreless day, right?

He's dead. https://revistaquem.globo.com/QUEM-News/noticia/2021/01/genival-lacerda-morre-aos-89-anos-vitima-da-covid-19.html (Portuguese language obit) Aye, so...no pressure but is there owt out there in English, only asking because it makes a difference: 9 - An "obit" in the context of the Deathrace is any news report in English from a reliable source. Such sources include - but are not limited to - UK national press, UK national broadcast organisations, foreign press and broadcast organisations with an English language thread to their communication, trade press in English, local news organisations reporting in English and coverage in specialist online sites, such as those monitoring the well-being of super-centenarians. Where dispute arises over the qualifying nature of a news source for obit purposes MPFC's decision is final. But he wants fast and furious competition and is generally very amenable to low hanging dead pool fruit of all varieties. On second thoughts, scrub that - this cnuts been dead for weeks!! https://www.time24.news/2020/12/genival-lacerda-died-this-morning-victim-of-covid-19-boato.html Carlo Tognoli now in play for Banana 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indeed GuN, one avalanche could still take you from nowt to victory. Be interesting to see whether any of these climbers are in DDP action when the big reveal takes place on that site.

maryportfuncity 10,657 Posted January 11, 2021 So Dead 9 Jan - provisionally points are on the scoreboard though the obits clocked online so far are real barrel scrapings. Likely some half-decent Canadian news source will have a report. Anyone spotting it could do us a favour and post a link. No real change at the top, though msc is now into four figures.
