Just done a check up my teams...

 

Seem to have fallen a lot from earlier in the year, but still on track to do significantly better than last year.

 

Anything above 73rd, i.e a new record for me will be fine. Looks as though I'll need Jimmy Carter, Bhumibol Adulyadej and Zsa Zsa Gabor/Billy Graham

List of celebrities isn't working.

Also, I think Isao Tomita's absent from the list of the lost.

 

Try now...

 

Good spot with Tomita although I though he'd get an obit by now...

 

EDIT: Now updated with Tomita LofL...

Newsbeat? What is that a teen section? Fucking BBC 'Newsbeat'? The fact Fekete (via phony ass Newsbeat) gets an obit means we shouldn't be reluctant to include anyone. Anything I said about Magnificent magician for Michael Jackson I take back, it was a good try.

Yeah, just to point out on the Round Ups, it's generally the first available qualifying obit that goes there. It's an indicator that there is one. It doesn't bind TMIB who is perfectly entitled to use any qualifying obit he likes (which he generally does).

It's on the list. However, there wont be a Newsbeat for much longer when the BBC wields it's cuts...

Not that it matters in this instance but Newsbeat shouldn't count. It's radio 1's news page, unless we're going to count Capital's news page it's unfair to include it.

It's illogical to include something like Newsbeat when the BBC news sections of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales are excluded.
