Don Larsen is almost up there but I think there’s a certain gap between TJones/Stern and Larsen or anyone else, in a worldly sense. Maybe this says more about me and company I keep / accounts I follow, because before Terry the only 2020 death with anywhere close buzz was Acorah Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gooseberry Crumble 5,337 Posted January 25, 2020 Influential author Clayton Christensen has passed away aged 67. He was the origin of the idea of disruptive innovation and thus people as ultimately Steve Jobs and Jeff Bezos took inspiration from his ideas and concepts.

Gooseberry Crumble 5,337 Posted January 26, 2020 I know a fair number of posters select or show interest in 'cancer mums' or terminally ill bloggers.I dont know if anybody choose or showed interest in this poor guy .But anyway a cancer blogger from Penarth South Wales called Patrick Wymer has sadly died from bowel cancer.Infact there was a charity fundraiser in his name on the night he passed away which was held with the event holders unaware he was so close to death that night. Very sad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted January 27, 2020 GAA Ulster Coach of the Year Sonia Kinsella (47) passed away at her home in Saul on Saturday, just months after learning no further treatment options were available. She was a sleeper for Cup play and a late cut for DDP (honestly should have fielded her). I see @gcreptile has her in Death By Numbers. Well done.

I thought she had a little more time. If that BBC Northern Ireland obit comes, I move to 1st in both DbN and DDP - which would be a first for my main team.

Oh well. Yeah, it was a bit risky, but still, the uniqueness is a bit of a gift. About as shocking as the unique Michael Falzon for msc. Score updates will come in the evening, so some time for folk to keep The Love Boat from no. 1, especially if your joker is Tom Smith, or you picked John Andretti.

machotrouts 828 Posted January 29, 2020 Taoist guru to the stars and early-2000s self-help fad the Barefoot Doctor (aka Stephen Russell) has died, according to posts on his social media accounts on the 26th: Doesn't seem to be reported in any news outlets yet. He had an Observer column for 5 years, though maybe they'd rather we forget that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
