He was accepted by Altobits which is a pretty high bar for non-Americans. N'importe. I'll take James Whale instead. Not notable enough despite an instant Telegraph obit. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/2023/05/21/jeremy-clarke-obituary-low-life-spectator-magazine/ Fortunately he would still have been in first sub position, otherwise I would have been very cross.

Great Uncle Bulgaria 881 Posted May 23 Christy Dignam new sub following Harris dying please. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toast 13,557 Posted May 23 @Lafaucheuse Well, now I am fucking cross, because it's now clear that Rolf Harris died before Jeremy Clarke, so Jeremy would have been promoted into the team and would have been another hit for me. I have no idea why you didn't accept him, his articles appeared every week in the Spectator. Low Life is a famous weekly column. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lafaucheuse 3,069 Posted May 24 Rolf in Hell ! The paedo was a popular pick ans ends up being a hit for Charles de Gaulle, ladyfiona, Summer in Transylvania, khtonia, theoldlady, wannamaker, WEP, Perhaps, handrejka, gcreptile, Torva Messor, Captain Chorizo, Sean, Book, Great Uncle in Bulgaria and me ; and a miss for @BuffaloPhil (Dignam in) @Insane Who thus need to provide a New sub. great job to everyone, one point each : when thé game started, everyone added Harris to their subs list saying he would never make thé official list : 6 months later, he’s only a miss for 2 people ! @Charles De Gaulle : Ted Turner in. It’s your last chance to submit 3 subs, if you don’t, then I’ll remove you from the Game. @ladyfiona : Frank Field in and Nolan on the sub bench @Summer in Transylvania : Esther Rantzen in and Glynis Johns as sub 3 @Khthonia : Roberta Flack in but I’m afraid Barczyk doesn’t qualify for this game. Please choose another sub. @theoldlady : Paul Hogan in and Katie Keltie in @wannamaker : Jonnie Irwin in and Michael Tilson Thomas in the waiting line @WEP : Roman Kostomarov in and Christoph Daum as new sub @Perhaps : Daniel Ellsberg in and Patrick Murray as sub 3 @gcreptile: Mike Sertich in, a sub to choose @Handrejka : Yvonne Furneaux in Roy Meadow in the waiting room @Toast : James Whale in Christy Dignam on subs list @Torva Messor : Jimmy Carter in (that was close) and Christy Dignam as sub 3 @CaptainChorizo : Carter in, Rosalynn that is, and Black Bart as sub 3 @Sean : Esther Rantzen in and Patrick Murray on the bench @Book : Nick Anderton in and Nolan as new sub @Great Uncle Bulgaria : Glynis Johns in Christy Dignam added Hope I didn’t make any mistake, I’ll update the scoreboard later as I spent one hour to sum up this on my phone ! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have no idea why you didn't accept him, his articles appeared every week in the Spectator. Low Life is a famous weekly column. I understand your frustration but it wouldn’t change anything : the date of annoucement is the only one that matters in this Game as I can’t go backward and add someone Who was on your sub list after his/her death. Don’t know if I’m explaining myself well but Clarke was announced dead before Harris so he wouldn’t have score any point. on another hand, I do agree that I should have allowed him, didn’t realize he was famous enough. For next year’s game, I may bring the obit rule as for DDP to avoid any frustration 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
