I might add in Julian May and David Fisher just to make a point about anti SF snobbery. Hold off the assault on the Guardian, Wilhelm got a Mail AP obit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,978 Posted March 19, 2018 Already annoyed that Vanessa LaFaye keeps my B-team from having the full 20/20. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,536 Posted March 19, 2018 LaFaye will still be a QO if she has a final book to be published, surely? Best check Publishers' Weekly. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,058 Posted March 19, 2018 Interesting you used a BBC regional obit for Edwards @Spade_Cooley, I'm assuming that was a placeholder til the real one came along. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,228 Posted March 23, 2018 Sir Creep should know better than to pick already dead people for his team. Two people on two different teams from the same person. Next thing that happens is that Richard Haag is said to have died last year... 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted March 24, 2018 Not to re-mention I’m pretty sure two of Gris Gris entries are already dead, I said this when I turned in the list. Can’t confirm so I left em on but said they’re probably dead (105-year old rugby player, 1-legged Drummer). Sounding like I had 15 actual names lol.

Spade_Cooley 9,536 Posted March 26, 2018 The fact that every single broadsheet had a Philip Kerr bio ready to drop within 24 hours and nobody picked him on the DDP makes me believe that no current obituary writers for the UK national press play the DDP. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
