Chorizo has 17 picks I am 90% sure will be around in 2019, so he could well run out of hits while DDT's buckets of blood reap rewards in summer.

Former Director of the CIA Stansfield Turner has died aged 94 and he was one of my picks @Phantom of the Midway

 

My first' hit' in any of my teams so far this year.

 

Just making sure I have a UK reuters article for this as per competition rules. 

https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-people-turner/ex-cia-director-stansfield-turner-dead-at-94-served-under-carter-idUKKBN1F807B  I'm sure this is not really necessary now as I have been allocated the points but just a link of a mention of Stansfield Turners death in Reuters UK thus confirming there is a qualifying obituary for this pick.

Right, so I had Cryne (as had many others) and looking for obits for Toothill and Carr. The latter being somewhat unlikely, I forgot the QO rules had been tightened up when I sent in my team! :D

Haha - I had Mark E Smith in this and didn't even realise - 50 people is A LOT - I was just throwing every name I could think of at this in the end (3 of them have died so as a strategy it seems to be working :D).

Hm, I must've missed that when making the masterlist. PM confirms Miller is in your team. I'll amend the masterlist and leaderboard.

My joker is Latham Grant, which makes me suspect I forgot to add a joker to my team.

 

EDIT - Confirmed. For some reason that's a repeat blind spot at times...

Ah the Pool that keeps on surprising - my second hit on here this year where I didn't know I'd picked them.
