Cynthia Chalk needs to go on the LotL I think.

 

Wow, that generation thing kicked in with Ivan Mauger. Couldn't escape news coverage in the 1970s. Anyhow...

Yeah, I may have been a little tired by the end of that round-up...

Oh, I worded it wrong, didn’t I? Probably should’ve said led rather than on top. Well, I just got out of a long test today, so...

Is 29th place good for a first year team at this point? I was spendidly excited after checking my placement considering there are 300+ teams.

That’s definitely good. Looking at your team, I’d say there’s a good 7 or 8 more hits at least on your squad.

**nieces and nephews all crowded together, some sitting Indian style, others arm in arm, all listening intently**  

[Leans forward to have his feeble voice better heard...]  

“Has Uncle Creep told you about the time he was in 3rd place in the DDP in mid-March?”

(together, exasperated) “Yes, Uncle Creep.”

“Good.  Let that be a lesson to you, cuntos!”

 

(edit two weeks later -- no love from anyone?  tough crowd.)

I jointly held the top spot for the first day in 2009 thanks to Claiborne Pell.  

 

The oldest women in the world at the time then went and died on 2nd January and someone who had her as a Joker knocked me off :)

Would a letter to the Editor of the Guardian bemoaning the tragic (yet timely) death of Filipino screen legend, Spanky Manikan count as QO if it got published?  I could be a $3 postage stamp from first.

I don’t see why it shouldn’t count, but imo, you would really need some good luck with him in order to have one published for him. I’d love to see an obituary from a major news site to a highly acclaimed actor in the Philippines, but he hasn’t crossed over into the UK during his lifetime, so unlikely to happen (though he’s quite the fascinating individual, I must admit). 

If there’s one person that I had to choose to send a letter to the Guardian to write an obit for though, its Cynthia Heimel. Another fascinating character but got mentioned multiple times in the Guardian in the past, yet, apart from the now dropped Independent, received no UK coverage. Disappointing really...

Hypothetically.... if I got the site redesigned top-to-tail, made it database-run and with a CMS-based front-end (I think those are the right words), how many people hereabouts would be interested in throwing a tenner into the pot so some guy hired off Updesk from Pakistan or the Ukraine could get the job done?

I predict that there won't be more than 10 deaths this year : bracknell, mccain, Douglas and bush may not reach the year but for the other one, i don't think there will be any other good hit...
