Sir Creep 7,070 Posted August 16, 2017 I accidentally discovered two wonderful Shameless 3.0 entrants. Mind if I take it over LOL I abhor such entries but maybe I'll cache their names away depending on DDP rules 2018. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She doesn't (edit: didn't) blog, or fundraise for others. She was at Hallwang Clinic by the way. It's no miracle cure after all, though she outlasted her prognosis (6-12 months) by a month.

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted August 22, 2017 Well y'all would know more than I if a person who won a huge lawsuit in America would stand a chance of an obit in the U.K. I presume it's interesting news so who knows, maybe when she croaks someone will pick the story up off the wire.A Los Angeles jury on Monday ordered Johnson & Johnson to pay a record US$417 million to a woman who claimed in a lawsuit that the talc in the company’s iconic baby powder caused her ovarian cancer. The verdict in the lawsuit brought by the California woman, Eva Echeverria, marks the largest sum awarded in a series of talcum powder lawsuit verdicts against Johnson & Johnson in courts around the US.

Spade_Cooley 9,538 Posted August 30, 2017 On 18/08/2016 at 18:16, gcreptile said: A young man named Dean Eastmond writes in the Guardian about living with Ewing's sarcoma: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/aug/18/cancer-side-effect-masculinity No word on whether it has spread. Previously, he was in the news for talking about being raped: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-3352295/Teenager-reveals-raped-man.html Hmm...he really puts it all out there... Making some news headlines after getting his makeup done by former RPDR contestant Charlie Hides. Could he ride this to a QO in 2018 or will he cark it before that became a question players have to worry about? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RadGuy 1,614 Posted August 30, 2017 Fuck, he was the potential 30-point joker I was talking about. I knew gcreptile had mentioned him in 2016, but assumed since nobody picked him for 2017, he was off people's radars. Oh, well. Lesson learned not to assume any pick is a unique. He probably ain't making 2018 anyway. If anyone's wondering, the way I found him was via Kris Hallenga's Twitter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was on my mental List of People I Know Other DDPers Will Pick, in a manner of speaking... For example, Tony Beard in 2016. Knew he was ill, knew he was dying, had a reasonable (correct) gut feeling he wouldn't obit, noted for potential Deathrace use (in end I went DDP team), but also knew he'd be on a few DDP teams...

gcreptile 10,979 Posted August 30, 2017 If it's any consolation, Eastmond is on my longlist. So he would have received the Google/Twitter treatment in December. But I'm sure he'll write a couple of prominently placed articles until then, anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,070 Posted August 30, 2017 Sounds like many of you obtain valuable info from Twitter, which puts me at an even greater disadvantage cuz I absolutely and steadfastly refuse to sign up for that. Alas... SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Impends 7,992 Posted August 30, 2017 I knew about Eastmond as well and yeah, was never going to be a sneak unique pick. Figured he was the one RadGuy alluded to, given RadGuy made a "he probably won't see the new year anyway with the latest news" post a day or two after Eastmond's "probably just weeks left" tweet.

RadGuy 1,614 Posted August 30, 2017 Ha, I should have expected this to happen. Everybody had him on their shortlists. At least I found out early on in the "team-making season" and have 4 months left to find a better joker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stephanie is certainly not "famous for being ill". She will be remembered by many people in the UK as this was quite a notorious case.
