No, just one of those auto-generated "obituaries". He liked a tweet less than 24 hours ago.

For the benefit of pool runners @Death Impends and @gcreptile

 

 

 

The Peter Christian actor in my Gooseberry team  is the 75 year old Liverpool actor who played Frank Rogers in Brookside  and not another actor called Peter Christian.

In the initial information I submitted I wrongly described  Gary Tobian as a swimmer not diver in my Apricot Crumble team.

 

Cheers!

A partial punt and also based on information  I was aware of about a heavy hedonistic party lifestyle that tends to catch up with people sometimes in their fifties.

My motto is, keep doing the hedonistic party lifestyle in your fifties, then it can't catch up with you, because you never stopped!!! ;)

Good advice!!:D

My information indicated his hedonism  'hard partying ' lifestyle went way beyond his years in Five Stars peak years of fame. I decided it was long shot punt that was worth it.

2023 Main Team Entry (and some thoughts):
The Salmon Mousse
 
Rob Burrow - JOKER - his look reminds me of Marian Cisovsky's right before he went.
Rhod Gilbert - basic stage 4 pick
Kate Keltie - hate breast cancer picks but her age and the dire reports made her unavoidable
Denny Crum - certain to go in 2023, certain to only get me 6 points.  Should've changed him out but just couldn't resist the somewhat underground name.
Jonnie Irwin
Frank McGarvey - already a hit
Michael Tilson Thomas - honestly, have major doubts he'll go in 2023
Simon Cowell
Steve McMichael
Frank Field - this guy bugs me.  Surely this is his year, right?
Gianluca Vialli
Johnny Ruffo - have the same doubts about him as I do about Thomas but I'm also still feeling the sting of dropping Parker last year
Jeanette Lee - ESPN's recent 30 for 30 about her solidified this pick
Janey Godley - the last person in.  Was between her and Kerri Parker but Godley will probably Drop 40.
Steve DiMeglio - in the mid-500s with his chemo treatments, thin as a rail, but fighting.  Bit of a QO risk but given that he received well-wishes from every top pro when his cancer was announced I feel he'll find one.
George Alagiah
Ryuichi Sakamoto
David J. Linden - a major QO risk but he has been mentioned in The Guardian in the past and last year's ultra-safe lineup ended in disaster
James Whale - surely it's his year, right?
Shannen Doherty - just seems to be fading out

Re the discussion on Mark Stokes above, I've been digging for evidence of his demise (since he announced he was quitting Twitter and "the whole show" - i.e. life - on 18 December). No evidence he's departed the whole show yet. A Deathrace pick too, so likely to score well there given his current predicament.

Oh I can’t believe this - I’d half typed a ‘are they FFBI?’ Message to Committee when I saw that link that he was dead and laughed at myself and deleted it. I’m a dummy!

He’s not really famous anyway. 
 

Only really famous because he is posted that he is dying on Twitter for the likes and sympathy. He was on my list but removed him as he will hardly be a memorable pick.

Peter is part punt and partly  based on whispers in the acting fraternity in Liverpool that ended up reaching my ears.

Your Crown Court team looks decent and solid.

Surprised Dinamite hasn't got more traction, seems to be permanently in hospital with his cancer now and surely his spell at Barcelona gets him a QO no problem?

It's somewhat funny how the players are taking away the unique picks from each other, in a way that you can't rely on them at all, unless they're extremely late news or extremely risky.

Going for unique picks is ...probably... overrated, but it does come with bragging rights.
