Octopus of Odstock 2,197 Posted May 9, 2007 Huang Ju is NOT dead apparently, but like Al-Masri, there appears to be a lot of confusion if he is alive or not. That would be an unique hit for My Brain Hurts if he is dead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh right - so your still saying that your entry into a celebrity deadpool is a success? Well, so far its not too bad. 3rd out of about 420 competitors is I think a fair position at this point.

Oh right - so your still saying that your entry into a celebrity deadpool is a success? Well, so far its not too bad. 3rd out of about 420 competitors is I think a fair position at this point. Quite. My emphasis was on the word celebrity. Of course, I'm no better with my Grove choice. Then again, you chose her as well. Along with a historian whose obit probably marked her first appearance in a national newspaper, and two second class Iraqis who had an execution secured back in 2006. Hardly worth applauding your record but then I'm probably just jealous... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Octopus of Odstock 2,197 Posted May 29, 2007 Much to Notapotato's (and probably not him alone) possible disgust, a UK obit for Jörg Immendorff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canadian Paul 97 Posted June 10, 2007 Author Rudolf Arnheim, selected by two teams on the DDP, has died. Haven't seen an English obit, much less an acceptable one, but give it time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canadian Paul 97 Posted June 19, 2007 Vilma Espin Guillos has died and received a UK obit already - a unique pick for MPFC I believe. Meanwhile, neither Rudolf Arnheim nor Frank Scarrabelotti have received proper UK obits... or any UK obits for that matter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Windsor 2,233 Posted June 19, 2007 Meanwhile, neither Rudolf Arnheim nor Frank Scarrabelotti have received proper UK obits... or any UK obits for that matter. Can't think why. I looked at the link you posted and I still don't know who they are. Probably because I can't read German (or whatever that was). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I looked at the link you posted and I still don't know who they are. Probably because I can't read German (or whatever that was). Probably doesn't help that the link is dead either. Here's an English obituary if anyone's interested. Scarrabelotti was Australia's oldest man, his obit is somewhere in the world's oldest thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Windsor 2,233 Posted June 19, 2007 Probably doesn't help that the link is dead either. Did that get a UK obit? They give them out to anyone these days. Which says alot about those who chose Scarrabelotti. I can't even say his name, let alone spell it. Perhaps if he had a quirky name like 'Harry Patch' he would have got a decent UK obit. I think I've expressed my opinion on this issue...time to move on... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Octopus of Odstock 2,197 Posted June 20, 2007 Just re-reading Windsor's first post from this thread - maybe not a miracle per se but certainly a combination of luck & wisdom that got rid of Gerry Ford & put Bernard Manning in. Shame a lot of the rest of us didn't take the advice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest 11001001 Posted July 8, 2007 Six months and I still have no hit, had four last year and was quite pleased but this year, it seems my lists of geezers are only getting older, not deader. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest 11001001 Posted July 11, 2007 Six months and I still have no hit, had four last year and was quite pleased but this year, it seems my lists of geezers are only getting older, not deader. And then two days later Charles Lane dies and gives me my first hit of the year. I should have posted months ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canadian Paul 97 Posted July 12, 2007 Radio Broadcaster Stan Zemanek has died at the age of 60 from brain cancer. No UK obit yet, but it will mean 18 points for a unique joker for Going Underground if one surfaces. I looked at him for the WDP, but he was said to be getting better. Ah well, you win some, you lose some. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canadian Paul 97 Posted July 13, 2007 As the DDP Boys have already noticed, British actor Peter Tuddenham has died, but that link is the only obit that he has gotten so far. If one does surface, it'll be a unique hit for The Harbringers of Condolence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
