Handy hits with Wolfgang Suschitzky: https://www.theguardian.com/film/2016/oct/07/wolfgang-suschitzky-photography-cameraman-get-carter

[Joey Russ 7,119]

Congrats for everyone who have the king of Thailand on there team: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-37643326

[gcreptile 10,227]

Since he wasn't terminally ill (as far as we knew), I didn't put Bhumibol in any DDP team, he ended up being first replacement for my main team, if I recall correctly. But by the time this deadpool started, it already looked as if the end was near... 11th hit now. I'm grotesquely ahead in this game that is not about speed at all.

[YoungWillz 19,045]

Jimmy Perry lifts me off the ground floor on this pool. One hit, not like me, I normally get none. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-37743674

[Joey Russ 7,119]

First person from the baby boomer generation who was featured on a team has died: http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-37756170

[Death Impends 7,365]

Probably would have had Vee on several more on-forum pools in addition to this one had he seen the new year; recent articles on him were rather somber.

[Sean 5,997]

 

Heh, of course now that I've said that this competition is not about speed, I'm leading with 4 hits, now that SR Nathan has received a Daily Mail obit:

 

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-3753184/Singapores-longest-serving-president-S-R-Nathan-dies.html

I want to join, but I'm still thinking over on a lot of things

Feel free to put a team forward even now.

[YoungWillz 19,045]

Jimmy Young is the second hit and the second Jimmy on my list.

 

Maybe I'll just pick people called Jimmy for all my pools next year.

I can't find it now, must have deleted it from my notes. It was called something like "It's Death, Jim". Only got two or three hits afair.

[gcreptile 10,227]

Ilse Aichinger would be a hit for me if a QO appeared.

[gcreptile 10,227]

Lupita Tovar would be a hit for me if a QO appeared.

Tovar is popular this morning. I keep thinking she's already dead. Well, she is now.

You have ot Tovar.Aichlinger can be replaced after she has been dead for 3 months if a QO isn`t found.
