Resurrectionist 6 Posted January 29, 2021 3 hours ago, Elephant said: All of these teams with a Cicely Tyson hit. All these teams are missing their Cloris Leachman hit too. Seen as grim is being so fucking polite about this. A quick glance on the front page would show you Gerry Marsden on the 3 January is the most recent hit to get an obit and the team are clearly working through the backlog - which appears to have been published last weekend. Walter Bernstein being the most recent hit to be tallied on the deaths page died on the who's dead died on the 23 January - last Saturday? It couldn't be that the committee are working on the site when they happen to have no work and family commitments, such as perhaps a Saturday or Sunday, could it? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,443 Posted January 29, 2021 Yeah, the rest of January (after the site goes up) is usually a rush to complete real life work that was put to the side in the first half of the month. Front page obits shall resume this weekend. I aimed to work on them last weekend but i felt horrendously unwell so watched The Wheel instead. Yes, Michael McIntyre, that's quite unwell! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dying Probably 578 Posted January 30, 2021 Quick question for the future - some of the picks I might steal in 2022 would probably only obit in their native country (e.g. Joyce Bamford-Addo). Would an obit from the country they lived in count? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,970 Posted February 2, 2021 Hmm, strange thing on the "Who's dead" page...it's now ordered exclusively by day, not by month also...I wonder why... Problem is, I might not be able to fix it for a few more days.... But the scores are correct. Prophet remains at fiirst place, because he also picked Captain Tom. Edit: Okay, I can fix it temporarily, but the fundamental problem remains somewhere in the code. Well, later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, he was one of the big underachievers of the DDP along with Derek Draper. Whereas Rob Burrow, Willie Nelson, Bobby Charlton and Norman Lloyd (!) all came within 3-4 teams of Drop 40 status. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted February 6, 2021 I’m bummed that 3 of my picks had only one other team pick then, 1 more had two teams. I don’t expect a ton of unique selections but it would have been nice to get a couple in there somewhere. Disappointing. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,443 Posted February 6, 2021 From what I can gather from the K2 climb, Atanas Skatov is dead but lacks a QO, and at least one of the other picks is missing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
