gcreptile 10,972 Posted February 23, 2019 Giuseppe Mifsud Bonnici is dead. The former Maltese Chief Justice is neither Karmenu Mifsud Bonnici who would be my second unique hit, nor Ugo Mifsud Bonnici, who would win the game for Spade: https://www.timesofmalta.com/mobile/articles/view/20190222/local/former-chief-justice-giuseppe-mifsud-bonnici-passes-away.702648 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bibliogryphon 9,581 Posted February 25, 2019 It is far from my place to cast any doubt on such a worthwhile bastion of journalism. Morgan Woodward is dead. A hit for eight players in the Dallas category (most popular pick in the category) @FixedBusiness gets his first hit. Everyone is now off the mark. @time & @Grim Up North are up to three hits in three categories @Toast @Sir Creep & @msc get third hit, second in Dallas @gcreptile second hit in Dallas @Death Impends Fifth hit, third in Dallas first player to have three hit in the same category This game is my favourite of the ones I run. Noone else moves into a winning position but will these hits be important if the game drags on.

Bibliogryphon 9,581 Posted March 1, 2019 Indeed @Grim Up North and @FujimoriNoMorey get their second Grammy hit but it is @time who gets a first hit in the category but that means he is only a boxer away from victory.

I will update the winning list but looking at my boxers my lack of expertise in this area becomes apparent. I have gone for fame and recognisability rather than those known to have severe issues.
