Sean 6,368 Posted June 3, 2018 It seems several people in that group are in contact with Ana meaning we are likely to know he has died within hours of the event occurring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,081 Posted June 4, 2018 5 hours ago, Clorox Bleachman said: Jon Hiseman still alive as of 3 hours ago. The post goes on to repeatedly refer to him in the present tense. I don't think Ana would be adding new people to the group if Jon had just died. A German rock magazine has reported that he died on 1st June but this forum is the only source I can find for that. Not a reliable source. I'm disheartened that someone CLEARLY say my tractor pull champion John Hileman, switched a few letters around, and claimed the find as their own.

maryportfuncity 10,704 Posted June 7, 2018 Notable that June's main deaths have been the steady contenders - incl. Mary Wilson - and a lot of our conspicuous low hangers on the MMMDP are laughing in our faces a week after kick off. Let's see who's still laughing as the sun sets on the longest day 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sean 6,368 Posted June 7, 2018 Still might get third.Although I reckon Hiseman will go before Cappotelli. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Dead Cow 620 Posted June 7, 2018 The Jon Hiseman Facebook page shows no update on Hiseman's condition, however Jan Akkerman tweeted to say that Hiseman died last night. I trust Jan Akkerman. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I trust Jan Akkerman. His Facebook appreciation group with nearly two thousand members hasn't picked up on it and a man in contact with Ana said there was no change this afternoon so don't buy it.

Same deal as last time - 20 places for everyone else, I'll snag the final place and commit not to nick anyone else's pick by only declaring mine once the others are nabbed. I'll try and get the new thread up around 1 May so's we can amuse each other with pithy form guide comments Unless loads of people post below and say there are too many dead pools, or summat 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
