Er, I thought Tessa Jowell was only worth 350 points for me since I had her at #4, not 450 (which is the #2 spot). Obviously I want to win, but I also want to win fairly and not win by a mistake...

...Shouldn't I be on 535 (No.2 Jowell 450 + No.15 Gibson 85)? Thanks

Mike Higgison died earlier in the month and didn't get the Australian obit I gambled on.

 

I know, right? A dead Australian the Daily Mail didn't cover!

I thought he was a cert for a NYT obit tbh, though one that doesn’t come till a few days later. Anyways, kudos to both of you picking him. What a great find...

I definitely was too cautious placing Ted Dabney dead last - though fair play to msc for putting him in pole position - as he's gotten a Sun obit.

 

I was so convinced of his obit he'd have been on my 2019 DDP team if he'd made it (and indeed, my 2018 team if I'd found out 3 weeks earlier!). Only reason he wound up here is because I'd heard down the pipeline he didn't have long left.

I had help. Did I give a "colleague said bit of work was delayed due to someone's health" hint a month or two ago? iirc I did, anyhow, it was Dabney.

 

Ah here we go!

 

 

 

And the answer to my conundrum was "Sir Creep"! Although technically me and DI went public on the Windy pool at roughly the same time. (Also, I had a list of 3 people I thought would know about it and go for it, in late January - ignore date misdirection - Sir Creep, Gcreptile and Death Impends! 2 out of 3 ain't bad.)

Cornelia Frances has died. I'm sure she'll get a QO. Tbh, I'm surprised that the only three people who picked her here were me, gcreptile, and RadGuy. The news sounded very grim since about February or so... 

EDIT: Here's the mirror.

Death Impends gets 2 hits back to back with Miyako and (assuming QO arrives) Bruce Lietzke. You’re going to win this again, aren’t you?
