So no harm in having a team prepared if I scrape through again at the last minute I've done nowt about May but I'm still leading in another will-to-live job of a contest (my specialty in this contest) I'll trawl the talent pool and chase an ambulance or two just in case. That said, Bouteflika is nowhere to be seen in my current line up. His demise would also be mine! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,228 Posted April 27, 2021 Silly Dave Cull, hospice care for pancreatic cancer is usually a very quick way out. Despite this news he ended up being a unique for Alt obits guy, which might be a bit of a consolation for his match against Banana...

Perhaps 1,423 Posted April 27, 2021 Happy for my joker, Kazi Hayat, who was supposedly in critical condition with COVID after heart surgery that also has heart disease, kidney disease, and diabetes for being discharged a few days into April. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,979 Posted April 27, 2021 7 hours ago, Banana said: "Oh I was just checking the hospice out, nothing to worry about" Yeah, he pulled a fast one on us, or himself possibly. About Kazi Hayat, well I never even saw the name in the first place. But that's what you can like or hate about this competition. You can google yourself to death on the 30th, and still lose because you didn't include information available on the 31st. Still, the match between Perhaps and me is close, and it's still 3,5 days. I think there are still 1-2 aces in Perhaps' deck. I think I have some left, too, but I won't breathe easily until the last minute. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps 1,423 Posted April 29, 2021 My pick R Balakrishna Pillai seems to be dead according to this. Weird how they wouldn't the announcement in the title itself though, so probably best to wait until something more concrete comes through as no other site is reporting it. Preferably for me, something will hopefully pop up in the next 24 hours! https://news8plus.com/r-balakrishna-pillai-in-the-intensive-care-unit/ If not dead he's still in "extremely critical condition" to tease me.

Yeah, I'm watching him, too, admittedly. That link says he died yesterday/wednesday, which is almost certainly false. But he does set up a photo finish tomorrow.
