Little Richard is a hit here. R.I.P. 
 

Most of the lists on here need to be updated a bit!

Checking my team, I don't think there was a QO for Robin Herd, so if not too late I would like to sub in Katharine, Duchess of Kent.

I have just noticed that I failed to notice I had picked Little Richard twice (14 & 25) on my team. I will belatedly replace him with Jerry Lee Lewis who as a surviving 50s rock'n'roller seems the most approprate substitute. There seems little hope of my team ever getting close to the top end of the leaderboard (only 3 dead so far) so unlikely to impact anyone.

[Toast 16,143]

Eleven of my picks have died (plus one other with NQOs).

 

For anyone unaware, there is no time limit on post editing in this forum. 

So the tidiest way of keeping your scores up to date is to go back to the post that contains your team, and cross out your picks as they fall off the perch.

[Joey Russ 7,228]

I’m nearly halfway there with my picks (the replacement for the NQO also died), but I feel like the next 16 will take a lot longer to go than the first 14...

How do you cross out the names of those who have perished? I use this website on my phone so not sure how it’s done

No idea,  I can't be doing with pissy little screens.

[theoldlady 2,305]

Dame Diana Rigg is a hit for some of us here. R.I.P. She is my 7th hit.
