[Handrejka 1,840]

I'm still awaiting an obit for Zara Nutley, don't think one will be forthcoming though.

I'm still awaiting an obit for Zara Nutley, don't think one will be forthcoming though.

 

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

[Sean 5,997]

I am guessing everyone but me picked Sharon Jones?

[Sean 5,997]

The guardian and the mail are covering Jones death.Thats the second baby boomer to bite the dust.

[Joey Russ 7,119]

I am guessing everyone but me picked Sharon Jones?

Nope. Only the Dead Cow, Death Impends and the ever advancing gcreptile.

Ringo was born before 1943.

[Joey Russ 7,119]

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

[Sean 5,997]

 

I'm still awaiting an obit for Zara Nutley, don't think one will be forthcoming though.

 

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

 

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)

[Joey Russ 7,119]

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

[YoungWillz 19,046]

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

[YoungWillz 19,046]

Death Impends and drol had John Glenn. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-38257445

[Joey Russ 7,119]

Lucky me. I can claim AA Gill was a hit for me: http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-38276456

[drol 10,052]

I am guessing everyone but me picked Sharon Jones?

I notice I picked her.

[Sean 5,997]

Who had Sager?

[Joey Russ 7,119]

Many of us, including myself

[Sean 5,997]

[drol 10,052]

I had JIm Prior and Sager. Good week.

[Sean 5,997]

I had JIm Prior and Sager. Good week.

Not for them though.

[YoungWillz 19,046]

Looks like only Morbidkid had Heimlich.

 

Is his team valid yet?

[Sean 5,997]

Looks like only Morbidkid had Heimlich.

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

[Sean 5,997]

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

[YoungWillz 19,046]

Zsa Zsa's my 4th hit on this game. Few others had her too. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-38360302

[Sean 5,997]

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.

[Cat O'Falk 3,287]

What has happened to Deathray?

 

Paul banned him.
