The race is on: can Paul Dewar (Savage Henry) or John Cocks (Bishop Briggs) get an obituary by the end of the week?

I had Paul Dewar on my shortlist but left him off due to the obit rule.

The Daily Fail had covered Cocks' illness so he made the cut.

Week 6 Update

Harking back to the days of 2005 when the internet wasn't able to provide horror as readily as it is today, this week we have 3 Deaths 1 Update.

First up is Paul Dewar, Canadian politician who died at 56. My #cdnpoli friends from various sides seem to agree he's a loss. Being Canadian and not having the surname Ford he hasn't really made waves over here however, so @Savage Henry will no doubt be on the lookout daily for the rest of the year in the hope an qualifying obituary appears. In the meantime, have a read about what the charity he founded will do after his death: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/youth-action-now-paul-dewar-legacy-1.5010880

Second up is the New Zealand version of Nick Knowles, John Cocks who died at 52. @Bishop Briggs will be on the lookout here, but I think he stands even less chance of finding a qualifying obituary.

Our final death this week is Albert Finney at 82, a man who I don't recognise at all despite having seen him in a few films. Here he is in his last film role, teaching James Bond how to shoot. The bit where he chats up Judi Dench wasn't as readily available:

Finney was worth 43 base points, and as a Solo Shot for @Ben Twilly (it took me longer than you'd think to get that name), he gets an extra 50 worth 93 overall. Here's a nice read on him from the Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/film/2019/feb/10/albert-finney-on-his-father-male-anxiety-and-joys-of-an-actors-life

The scores this week are as follows:

1. sparky88 328
2. alta-pete 297
3. Oooooft 277
4. Ned Nederlander 262
5. DBA 236
6. chomp my root 221
7. Bishop Briggs 207
8. cdisaaccie, Lex, peasy23, The Naitch 140
9. gingette, Once a Rover always a Rover 105
10. Ben Twilly, 93

11. LoonsYouthTeam 78
12. Indale Winton, lichtgilphead, qos_75 70
13. Musketeer Gripweed, Sweaty Morph 62
14. Everyone else 0

You expect that sort of moronic idiocy from Kay Burley.

Adam Boulton's gaffe could have been deliberate. He is married to Anji Hunter. She was Tony Blair's spin doctor when he started shagging her. He literally fucked New Labour. :lol:
