Deathray 2,940 Posted May 17, 2016 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,051 Posted June 4, 2016 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). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deathray 2,940 Posted June 4, 2016 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toast 16,141 Posted June 5, 2016 It's illogical to include something like Newsbeat when the BBC news sections of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales are excluded. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
