I see what you are doing there - just casually dropping in the names, in the hope it will spare you the abuse for pointing out the obvious . You are not fooling anyone, you know! Don't worry - the names are sufficiently off-mainstream to escape a rant. Although someone highlighting the passing of Alfred Biolek or Orlando Drummond would have been a bit more useful Update coming very soon. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
An Fear Beag 1,535 Posted August 23, 2021 I have finally recovered sufficiently from the shock of Dilip Kumar actually dying to get around to checking who else has carked it. These are the scorers since the last update. Feel free to point out if I have missed anyone. Although why the fuck you haven't done so before now I will never know!

An Fear Beag 1,535 Posted August 23, 2021 Here we go. We are just approaching the interesting time of the year where the points start getting big and so the deaths start to get more interesting. Drol has added a couple of hits to stretch out the lead at the top of the leaderboard. It looks like a decent lead for now, but as we all know, it is still very early in the year for this game. Just behind, En Passant and Wormfarmer have moved into the podium positions, and within striking distance of the lead, with Eesti and Etush also making significant moves in the right direction. At the other end Ebless has finally racked up a first hit of the year, leaving only Yorkshire Banker yet to trouble the scorers.

An Fear Beag 1,535 Posted September 10, 2021 And so onto the scoreboard. Lots of people scored a hit with Sarah Harding, and jumped up the scoreboard accordingly. Several other people made minor jumps up the leaderboard with obscure unique hits. Despite avoiding the big-name celebrities, Drol continues to power on ahead, with a team of lesser-known names. En Passant is still hot on the heels with a team of more recognizable picks. And ZZZ, the team with the most cliched picks of them all, rejoins the top 3. Quim continues to rack up the hits to stay in contention, but have they enough picks left to trouble the leaders. Meanwhile Etush lurks ominously outside the top 5, but with only 7 down, there is plenty of scope and time to make a run a the top. Deadsox is steadily building a nice score, after a disastrous start and cannot be completely ruled out, while Captain Chorizo () has lots of picks to go and is not without a chance. Usual story at the bottom. Yorkshire, no hits, etc.etc. Drol (1530 points) 11 hits [Dilip Kumar*, Dovid Soloveitchic, Emmanuel Evans-Anfom, Ernie Moss, Frank Worthington, Gerd Muller, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Mikis Theodorakis, Norman Lloyd, Toko Shinodam, Vittore Bochetta ] En Passant (1276 points) 11 hits [Beverly Cleary, Carlos Menem, Dai Davies*, Dilip Kumar, Gerd Muller, Larry King, Leon Spinks, Orlando Drummond, Prince Philip, Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Harding,] ZZZ (1222 points) 10 hits [Beverly Cleary, Dilip Kumar, Gerd Muller, Larry King, Leon Spinks, Norman Lloyd, Prince Philip, Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Harding, Yoo Sang-Chul] Eesti (1144 points) 10 hits [Bill Freehan, Dai Davies, Floyd Little, Gerd Muller, Leon Spinks, Noel Conway, Paul Westphal, Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Harding, Yoo Sang Chul] The Quim Reaper (1030 points) 11 hits [Anne Buydens, Carlos Menem, Dai Davies, Dilip Kumar, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Leon Spinks, Norman Lloyd, Prince Philip, Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Harding, Tom Moore] Etushispushingupdaisies (1016 points) 7 hits [Bill Freehan, Dai Davies, Lars Goran Petrov, Michael Cullen Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Harding, Yoo Sang Chul] Wormfarmer (996 points) 7 hits [Alcee Hastings, Bill Freehan, Dilip Kumar, Norman Lloyd, Renee Simonot, Tommy Lasorda, Yoo Sang Chul] Deadsox (991 points) 9 hits [Dai Davies, Floyd Little*, Paul Westphal, Prince Philip, Renee Simonot, Robert Marchand, Rush Limbaugh, Ruth Apilado, Sarah Harding] Captain Chorizo (985 points) 6 hits [Anne Buydens*, Dominic DeNucci, Jeanne Bot, Leon Spinks, Paul Westphal, Rosita Quintana, Vassos Lyssarides] Grim Up North (970 points) 10 hits [Dai Davies, Lee Noble, Leon Spinks , Michael Cullen, Paul Westphal, Prince Philip, Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Harding, Susan Bayh, Yoo Sang-Chul] CalebH (912 points) 6 hits [Andre Maranne, Gerd Muller, Gloria Henry, Johnny Ventura, Rodion Rosca, Sarah Harding] GcReptile (892 points) 10 hits [Alcee Hastings, Anne Buydens, Donna Britt, Jory Post, Josh Evans, Gerd Muller, Mike Miller, Rodion Rosca, Sarena Li, Yoo Sang-Chul] Exu (833 points) 7 hits [Alan Burgess, Ernie Moss, Gerd Muller, Leon Spinks, Prince Philip, Tom Moore, Sarah Harding] Kenny (761 points) 8 hits [Dai Davies, Gerd Muller, Kathy Shaidle, Leon Spinks, Paul Westphal, Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Harding, Yoo Sang-Chul] The Old Crem (759 points) 9 hits [Carlos Menem, Dai Davies, Floyd Little, Gerd Muller, Larry King, Leon Spinks, Prince Philip, Rush Limbaugh , Sarah Harding] Death Impends (740 points) 9 hits [Beverly Cleary, Carl J.

An Fear Beag 1,535 Posted September 29, 2021 3 hits to report since the last update. Or to rephrase it, 3 hits that I can see at a glance without googling all the obscure names yet again!. 8th September: Amy Winifred Hawkins 17th September: Abdelaziz Bouteflika 19th September: Jimmy Greaves. So why the update after a mere three weeks, and three measly hits? Because we have a new leader, that's why!. En Passant hits with AB to sneak into the lead, with just 5 points separating him/her from Drol in second. Elsewhere Exu and Death Impends both hit the magical 1000 point mark, and jump up the leaderboard into 5th and 8th place respectively, while GUB gets 2 hits out of 3 to add a little respectability to the score. Usual story at the bottom!

I'm not sure about your date of death though. The article is dated September 22nd and it says she "died Sunday at the age of 83." Unless they had a clairvoyant write the article, I am going to assume that she died the previous Sunday, which would be September 19th. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
An Fear Beag 1,535 Posted October 3, 2021 What a difference a few days can make in this game, at this time of the year. Since the last update a mere 4 days ago (take note Deathers!!),we have 2 noteworthy deaths and 1 slightly late notification. The latest hits are: Leila Meecham 19th September Greg Gilbert 30th September Bernard Tapie 3rd October. So En Passant's position at the top only lasted a couple of weeks, as Drol retakes the lead with a Greg Gilbert hit. Etush storms into second place with a Gilbert/Tapie double, and with only nine down, is in prime position to make a run for the title. CharlesDeGaulle jokered Tapie to race up the leaderboard into sixth, and we now have a dirty dozen topping the 1000 point mark who will still all be fancying their chances at this stage. The 1000 pointers are: Drol (1802 points) 12 hits [Dilip Kumar*, Dovid Soloveitchic, Emmanuel Evans-Anfom, Ernie Moss, Frank Worthington, Gerd Muller, Greg Gilbert, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Mikis Theodorakis, Norman Lloyd, Toko Shinodam, Vittore Bochetta ] Etushispushingupdaisies (1563 points) 9 hits [Bernard Tapie, Bill Freehan, Dai Davies, Greg Gilbert, Lars Goran Petrov, Michael Cullen Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Harding, Yoo Sang Chul] En Passant (1535 points) 12 hits [Abdelaziz Bouteflika, Beverly Cleary, Carlos Menem, Dai Davies*, Dilip Kumar, Gerd Muller, Larry King, Leon Spinks, Orlando Drummond, Prince Philip, Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Harding] Eesti (1416 points) 10 hits [Bill Freehan, Dai Davies, Floyd Little, Gerd Muller, Leon Spinks, Noel Conway, Paul Westphal, Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Harding, Yoo Sang Chul] ZZZ (1222 points) 10 hits [Beverly Cleary, Dilip Kumar, Gerd Muller, Larry King, Leon Spinks, Norman Lloyd, Prince Philip, Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Harding, Yoo Sang-Chul] Charles De Gaulle (1205 points) 8 hits [Bernard Tapie*, Carlos Menem, Dilip Kumar, Larry King, Leon Spinks, Prince Philip, Sarah Harding, Walter Bernstein] GcReptile (1153 points) 11 hits [Alcee Hastings, Anne Buydens, Donna Britt, Jory Post, Josh Evans, Gerd Muller, Leila Meecham, Mike Miller, Rodion Rosca, Sarena Li, Yoo Sang-Chul] An Fear Beag (1130 points) 8 hits [Bernard Tapie, Dilip Kumar, Jimmy Greaves, Larry King, Leon Spinks, Lilian Priest, Rush Limbaugh, Yoo Sang Chul] Exu (1094 points) 8 hits [Alan Burgess, Ernie Moss, Gerd Muller, Jimmy Greaves, Leon Spinks, Prince Philip, Tom Moore, Sarah Harding] Kenny (1036 points) 9 hits [Bernard Tapie, Dai Davies, Gerd Muller, Kathy Shaidle, Leon Spinks, Paul Westphal, Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Harding, Yoo Sang-Chul] The Quim Reaper (1030 points) 11 hits [Anne Buydens, Carlos Menem, Dai Davies, Dilip Kumar, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Leon Spinks, Norman Lloyd, Prince Philip, Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Harding, Tom Moore] Death Impends (1001points) 10 hits [Beverly Cleary, Carl J.

The 1000 pointers are: Drol (1802 points) 12 hits [Dilip Kumar*, Dovid Soloveitchic, Emmanuel Evans-Anfom, Ernie Moss, Frank Worthington, Gerd Muller, Greg Gilbert, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Mikis Theodorakis, Norman Lloyd, Toko Shinodam, Vittore Bochetta ] Etushispushingupdaisies (1563 points) 9 hits [Bernard Tapie, Bill Freehan, Dai Davies, Greg Gilbert, Lars Goran Petrov, Michael Cullen Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Harding, Yoo Sang Chul] En Passant (1535 points) 12 hits [Abdelaziz Bouteflika, Beverly Cleary, Carlos Menem, Dai Davies*, Dilip Kumar, Gerd Muller, Larry King, Leon Spinks, Orlando Drummond, Prince Philip, Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Harding] Eesti (1416 points) 10 hits [Bill Freehan, Dai Davies, Floyd Little, Gerd Muller, Leon Spinks, Noel Conway, Paul Westphal, Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Harding, Yoo Sang Chul] ZZZ (1222 points) 10 hits [Beverly Cleary, Dilip Kumar, Gerd Muller, Larry King, Leon Spinks, Norman Lloyd, Prince Philip, Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Harding, Yoo Sang-Chul] Charles De Gaulle (1205 points) 8 hits [Bernard Tapie*, Carlos Menem, Dilip Kumar, Larry King, Leon Spinks, Prince Philip, Sarah Harding, Walter Bernstein] GcReptile (1153 points) 11 hits [Alcee Hastings, Anne Buydens, Donna Britt, Jory Post, Josh Evans, Gerd Muller, Leila Meecham, Mike Miller, Rodion Rosca, Sarena Li, Yoo Sang-Chul] An Fear Beag (1130 points) 8 hits [Bernard Tapie, Dilip Kumar, Jimmy Greaves, Larry King, Leon Spinks, Lilian Priest, Rush Limbaugh, Yoo Sang Chul] Exu (1094 points) 8 hits [Alan Burgess, Ernie Moss, Gerd Muller, Jimmy Greaves, Leon Spinks, Prince Philip, Tom Moore, Sarah Harding] Kenny (1036 points) 9 hits [Bernard Tapie, Dai Davies, Gerd Muller, Kathy Shaidle, Leon Spinks, Paul Westphal, Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Harding, Yoo Sang-Chul] The Quim Reaper (1030 points) 11 hits [Anne Buydens, Carlos Menem, Dai Davies, Dilip Kumar, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Leon Spinks, Norman Lloyd, Prince Philip, Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Harding, Tom Moore] Death Impends (1001points) 10 hits [Beverly Cleary, Carl J.

An Fear Beag 1,535 Posted October 11, 2021 1 hour ago, markb4 said: Ruthie Tompson is a hit. Yes, indeed she is, giving a hit to 5 players. Markb4 and Torvamessor climb into a more respectable mid-table spot. Death Impends and Wormfarmer climb up into the top 6. That should have meant that they were back in contention, except that the leader Drol also scored big with Ruthie, becoming the first player to hit 2000 points, and extending the lead to over 50 points. It seems like a big lead now, but its only 2 hits at this stage of the game, so still all to play for. Here is the new top 6 - everyone else can figure out their own positions for now! Drol (2084 points) 13 hits [Dilip Kumar*, Dovid Soloveitchic, Emmanuel Evans-Anfom, Ernie Moss, Frank Worthington, Gerd Muller, Greg Gilbert, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Mikis Theodorakis, Norman Lloyd, Ruthie Tompson, Toko Shinodam, Vittore Bochetta ] Etushispushingupdaisies (1563 points) 9 hits [Bernard Tapie, Bill Freehan, Dai Davies, Greg Gilbert, Lars Goran Petrov, Michael Cullen Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Harding, Yoo Sang Chul] En Passant (1535 points) 12 hits [Abdelaziz Bouteflika, Beverly Cleary, Carlos Menem, Dai Davies*, Dilip Kumar, Gerd Muller, Larry King, Leon Spinks, Orlando Drummond, Prince Philip, Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Harding] Eesti (1416 points) 10 hits [Bill Freehan, Dai Davies, Floyd Little, Gerd Muller, Leon Spinks, Noel Conway, Paul Westphal, Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Harding, Yoo Sang Chul] Death Impends (1283 points) 11 hits [Beverly Cleary, Carl J. Shapiro, Ian St. John, Jimmy Greaves, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Norman Lloyd, Raymond Cauchetier, Renee Simonot, Ruthie Tompson, S.Prestley Blake, Tom Moore*] Wormfarmer (1278 points) 8 hits [Alcee Hastings, Bill Freehan, Dilip Kumar, Norman Lloyd, Renee Simonot, Ruthie Tompson, Tommy Lasorda, Yoo Sang Chul] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A unique hit for you and all, to climb you up into 7th place and within striking distance of everyone except the runaway leader. Although with your Joker/Wildcard and a lot of very hittable picks still hanging on, you are not without hope! Markb4 (1247 points) 8 hits [Anne Buydens, Beverly Cleary, Mort Sahl, Norman Lloyd, Renee Simonot, Prince Philip, Rush Limbaugh, Ruthie Tompson] 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will hold fire on awarding points to see if a more definite date of death appears in the coming days, which I would imagine it will. If nothing appears after a week, then I will make a judgement call on it. I do find it very interesting that there is a "charitytimes" website and that it is behind a paywall. Looking at the site highlights what a huge multi-million pound industry the whole charity sector is. I wouldn't say that it is an eye-opener as I was obviously aware of it before, but it is certainly a clear reminder. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
