Only Famous For Being Ill And Dying

Recommended Posts

So, Noel Conway's survived the immediate aftermath of the failure of his legal case. Tony Nicklinson was gone days after something similar. I'm wondering if Conway will enjoy a last Christmas/New Year and then check out very early in 2019.

 

Bet his DDP popularity goes up a fair way.

Ooooo SirC's first 2019 obit!

An Irish woman who became a “formidable warrior” in pursuit of transparency in hospital care after she was left with terminal cervical cancer arising out of medical negligence in Holland has died. She was 58.

Adrienne Cullen, who grew up in Limerick, successfully took on the Dutch health system and campaigned for a no gagging clause policy in medical facilities right across Europe.

Inspirational cancer-suffering Purdue student Tyler Trent has died at the age of 20.

 

Deathracer for me and a few others.

 

Sad story, from near my neck of the woods too. RIP.

DDP Joker for my B team - didn't think he would get a QO - good old Mail.


That's truly amazing.  Well done GUN.  Bravery rewarded.

Deborah James doing a triathlon

 

Contrary to the headline she's more ill than I realised - think a mistake leaving her out of my B team.

 

Well, Rachael Bland did similar last January and it really helped her...

Is there an obituary vault this year?

This is the first FFBI of the year. Not really sure what to do... I'm leaning towards "not doing a frontpage write-up." However, this is the FOURTH GUN AWAY HIT OF THE YEAR FFS.

Difference between FFBI and cancer mum though.

Yeah about time someone died in my Main Team FFS.

 

3 of the 4 are In B Team because I wasn't sure they would get a QO and I thought Steffan Lewis was more likely to be a 2020 death but he was in my team last year and didn't want to drop him completely.

 

Anyhow as per msc analysis the team as a whole isn't very good so I'm sure it will disappear as the year progresses.

I've decided, cancer mums will not get frontpage obits but will have their deaths recorded onsite. FFBIs will get frontpage obits.

I think your B-Team isn't that bad actually. While it is true that now very few "locks" are left (after all, you picked three people I picked myself, Porridge, Littlefeather and Donbavand) you also have quite a few 50:50 cases and you're bound to get a few points there. Sonali Bendre narrowly missed my main team, Clive James could be a hit any day now (or 2020/21), Pete Frates could always have a downturn, and so on...

I think you can end up around 100 points with it.
