Still waiting for an English language or possibly a National German obituary. I do not doubt he is dead but am waiting for confirmation before awarding the points

 

That would be a first for the SHBDP surely?! Failing to qualify on obit grounds? (Unlikely anyway since he's a Nobel Prize winner!)

His daughter has put something up on Twitter I suspect that one of the serious papers will pick something up in the next couple of days

[Bibliogryphon 8,615]

The New York Times has provided a suitable obituary for the neutrino supremo physicist Jack Steinberger.

This gives three players their second hit in the Nobel Prize category

 

@msc

@chilean wayway

@Death ImpendsImpends

 

This was the fifth hit for DI and a third hit for the other two @Grim Up North

 

Gets a fifth hit but brings his categories up to three.

 

Thanks to all the eagle eyes death spotters.

Hopefully someone will buy you a 'How to Use the @ Button' book for Christmas

It is my phone. It keeps trying to add text after the box and if you try and delete it it just gets worse.

Jeremy Bulloch a unique hit for @Toast in here! And yet another person moves one away, this time in the James Bond category - will the game last to Christmas..? 

[Bibliogryphon 8,615]

Congratulations to @Toast who gets her fifth hit with Jeremy Bulloch it is a unique but more importantly it is a fourth hit in a single category placing Robbie Coltrane's substantial frame between her and victory. The game has not yet been running four months.

[Bibliogryphon 8,615]

In the James Bond category we have had the two big hits already. There are three picks remaining with four selections (as Geoffrey Palmer had). They are 

David de Keyser

Yaphet Kotto

Andre Maranne

 

In FIFA Nobby was the big pick but Too Song Chul has 8 picks and Jimmy Greaves 7

 

Another Jimmy is the big pick in Nobel prize category Jimmy Carter with 9

 

Frank Borman leads the space fliers also with 9 but there are no hits in this category yet.

 

For Eurovision ONJ unsurprisingly leads with 9 but Niels Olsen has 8.

@Bibliogryphon Tommy Docherty is a hit for me here I believe. https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/breaking-tommy-docherty-dead-united-23245340

Yes YW this is your second hit both in separate categories.

 

Tommy Docherty was also a hit for @Grim Up North and @toast where he was the Sixth hit for both players and their second in the footballers category. 

 

These are good numbers and may be important in the end game at the moment there are no new ways to win.

I thought I remembered picking him somewhere, but assumed it must have been last year.  Forgot to look here! 

Pleased that it's in a continuing game.

I'm just pleased the game has made it to the end of the year to continue.

One for the "List of the missed" here. 

Liam Reilly dead: Bagatelle frontman and Eurovision star dies aged 65 | Metro News

 

Sang "Somewhere in Europe" to finish second in 1990. Decent enough song (by Eurovision standards). 

[gcreptile 10,211]

Tanya Roberts also a missed one - but who could have known...

Tanya Roberts not dead after all (see BBC, computer not letting me drag it across for some reason).

Which rather begs the question - given she had a QO on BBC yesterday, would she have counted?

No I would have retracted the points. It would have been a real pain if that was a 'winning' hit. Fortunately situations such as these are rare.

Point of Order Mr. Chairman...

 

At no point in the rules does it state that the selections have to be dead.

[RoverAndOut 3,396]

Colin Bell another miss in here. Have we lost our touch? (Waiting for a winning hit tomorrow now...)

[Toast 14,797]

William Thornton

* gr loses out on number of hits however that could change.

 

He isn't on 'the list' so the game goes on.

[RoverAndOut 3,396]

Doesn't end the game but puts both @Death Impends and @An Fear Beag 1 Eurovision performer away from victory. It's not going to last as long as the first two games, but the same twists and turns and race for the finish line is still on!

The finish list goes from 9 to 19

William Thornton is the first Space Fliers hit for both An Fear Beag & Death Impends.

 

It is a sixth hit for DI and a very efficient fourth hit for AF.

 

Both players have now ticked off four categories and so only need a Eurovision contestant to win. They have no duplicate picks in that category.
