ca_gere Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 Don Rickles was in my list last year... I think. zero recognition of who he was other than a) someone comedians talked about and b) a semi-celeb who might've died soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVB Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 gutted i missed the start of this poll! what a delightfully morbid thread haha just heard keyboard player Toby Smith died, cause of death is unknown but Hopefully he went Jamiroquietly in his sleep 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottyboy Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 (edited) Ayad al-Jumaili (Daesh no. 2) is dead (air strike); albeit with some outlets using the caveat "reportedly". Slight problem in that his age is not known :S From pics I'd hazard (bloody huge beards) mid-30s to mid-40s. Edit: checked the rules and saw 30-49 is a whole points band, so I think that's a safe call unless we have to have exact DoBs...

Points please? Smart move picking her. Well done. Low scorer but a unique pick. I was just reading about her a couple of weeks ago actually. @scottyboy, I've had a quick Google and I can't find even an approximate age for your Daesh guy. I don't think we can go on "well he looks about 30", I'm going to have to see something with at least a rough approximation of his age before I can award points.

scottyboy Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 The points band is 30-49 years, no?; the difference between him being 30 and 69 is only 2 points, if you want to be conservative.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted May 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 (edited) End of the road for DJ Robert Miles. Remember one or two good songs in the 90s but haven't heard of him since. http://mixmag.net/read/legacy-trance-producer-robert-miles-passes-away-at-age-47-news I loved this one back in the day. I haven't listened to it in 20 years. It's probably shite now. It was probably shite then tbh. Edited May 10, 2017 by Lemonade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
