The Telegraph finally came through with an Obit for Sir Rex Richards (behind the paywall) but its all a bit pointless. Done here because he died before Stevas and he was my R pick in the ABC dead pools but he went in the closed season. Oh well.

The last hit was on September 6th with Mugabe!

Since then nobody out of the 80 chosen people has died! They are all between 89 and 99*. Insane!

 

*And JPdC will turn 100 on January 19th...
