Re: Celebrity Croakers 2020
It's one of those cancers that needs massive amounts of funding to try and find ways to treat it more effectively, and find ways to screen for earlier detection.
It's a silent ticking time bomb, and by the time symptoms appear, too late really.

I knew a consultant a number of years ago, and he said that if he got jaundiced over 55 years of age with no pain or fever, then he would kill himself rather that waste time etc trying to treat it. In the end he didn't need to, an airliner crash in Spain where all lives were lost was his end. He was head of Sheffield Blood Transfusion service

At least he got to see Trump defeated before he cashed out. RIP

He worked up to nearly the end. October 29 was his last day in the studio, he taped enough shows to get to Christmas Day.

Howie Meeker, old-timey iced hockey player (Leafs) and commentator died yesterday at 97, but only a half dozen of you will know who he was. He was about as wholesome as a colour commentator could be; "Gee whiz, look at that kid skate!

Alrighty, finally updated the spreadsheet.
20 points to each of Dorothy, Oakvillian, Zoe Bell, Sharkus, and moi for Alex Trebek. No one had him jokered.
Standings:
Schnooks - 76
Jingsamichty - 45
Oakvillian - 42 - snuck into third after picking Trebek only a few days ago!
DaveLovesDee - 35
I have Zoe's new pick of Judge Judy (sob); need new picks from the rest of you (I've picked Peter Sutcliffe).

Within 4 days of being picked. Is that a record?

Have the police been to interview you yet?

Re: Celebrity Croakers 2020
I feel a bit gutted. In all the years I've been doing death pools this is the the first year I've had a prediction come true - and I've had TWO!! But not a sniff of glory thanks to Schnooks, or as I call her now, the Harold Shipman of BE.

Re: Celebrity Croakers 2020
I want to know what deep dark corners of the internet Schnooks frequents to get such hot tips of people at death's door. Has she hacked into the email server of Death himself?

Re: Celebrity Croakers 2020
Hahhahahahha I just saw Peter Sutcliffe on BBC and thought "oh god BE is going to come after me..." You did not disappoint!!!
It was an ambulance chaser pick, though, as I happened to read something online that said he was clinging to life. Turns out it was true this time...! 26 points for me on that one. I'll update the spreadsheet when I'm on my laptop later.
I do tend to do a bit of strategic googling, I admit, lol.
I'll confirm my new pick in next day or so!
