There's been some discussion over her date and place of birth. Turns out she might have been born in 1924 in Cornwall.

Well then. I choose David Gilmour in his place. Told you the baby boomers were hard.

Well we will see if an obit comes.Once she has been dead for 3 months feel free to add another name to your list Handrejka!Also if she was born in 1924 and obits you will still need a new name.And that applies to anyone who gets a pick in the wrong generation (including morbidkid)

I like my instincts. Something told me he was going to die soon, and and I was right.

Peter Vaughan gives me another hit here, sadly. BiblioG also had him.

Looks like only Morbidkid had Heimlich.

 

Is his team valid yet?

Morbidkid is still in the game but unless he changes his list to include 60 valid picks he will never win.

I thought about disqualifying him but he hasn`t got an unfair advantage.

What has happened to Deathray?

 

Also a reminder of dates when substitutes will be valid for those non-obit scoring deaths:

 

Zara Nutley :9th January

Ilse Aichinger:11th February

 

Anyone who has these picks will need to give me two names on or after the given date if a QO doesn`t come from.Both new names have to be in the generation you assigned non-scoring picks.
