YoungWillz 19,106 Posted April 1, 2016 msc had Douglas Wilmer here. Just seen Daily Express doesn't count. Hm. He was one of the most well regarded character actors of his generation. He'll get the Telegraph and Guardian obits before too long. Well, the Daily Mail will have to do: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-3519653/Sherlock-Holmes-actor-Douglas-Wilmer-dies-aged-96.html Edit: Or indeed the BBC who are late to the party: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-35948427 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,013 Posted April 4, 2016 Twelve hits. No one even CLOSE (anywhere on any game or list anywhere on this website). Two hits since last update. And as per earlier updates I fall farther behind. No idea wth is going on here but I'll check in December to see how far my 20-hit team has free-fallen in however you're keeping score. Till then I've lost interest. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grim Up North 3,565 Posted April 7, 2016 I note that a couple of people have Gary Player - I'm guessing this is based on age alone? Anyhow he got a hole in one yesterday in the Par 3 competition at Augusta so he could die but he's still pretty active. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,241 Posted April 8, 2016 This is the contest where I really have to abandon my "use every name in just one competition" rule. It's probably impossible to go for the win here with "second" choices. I should have done it like DDT and put some of my 41 hits across all teams also in this one here. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,241 Posted April 20, 2016 I get points for Dwayne "Pearl" Washington: http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2016/apr/20/dwayne-pearl-washington-syracuse-dies-52-cancer The obit came easily. But I was too unsure to choose him for the DDP. Another mistake. The Guardian has developed a preference for US basketball, see also: Andrew Smith. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You clairvoyant sonovabitch SC I knew he had a brain tumour in 2015, Death Impends probably knew, too. But I'm not sure how severe it was back then. Nevertheless, I thought he was a lock and almost picked him for the DDP, but decided against it because the obit was too risky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nevertheless, I thought he was a lock and almost picked him for the DDP, but decided against it because the obit was too risky.Brain tumours alone ain't shit, I can list a dozen easy who are running around with them just fine tyvm; still waiting for Brian Weidemeier and Bryan Murray to croak and neither seems hell bent on anything but living. Maybe I'll give more credence to brain tumours once a person hits 80, but for now I'm lumping them in with people in a coma; can't trust them to do the right thing. How's Valerie Harper these days?SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Impends 7,373 Posted April 24, 2016 I actually wasn't aware of Pearl Washington's case until circa the new year, when gcreptile posted his team here. But looking into his circumstances, I tend to think one is a goner if they're dealing with a brain cancer recurrence, which he was. Brain cancer's fatality depends on circumstances, as there are the stage 4 glioblastoma multiformes who tend to be locks and then there's the benign tumours which most memorably caused the "Lee Evans gambit" from a few DDPs back to take place. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
