Week 33 update
Two deaths this week, two from the past. Up first, Australian musical sensation Archie Roach: Archie Roach obituary | Australian music | The Guardian
Roach died at 66 so he's worth 59 Base Points for @Arabdownunder with a Solo Shot bonus taking that to 109.
=============
Up second, Mexican president Luis Echeverria: Luis Echeverría obituary | Mexico | The Guardian
Sounds like a complicated life. He died at 100 so he's worth 25 points to @Arabdownunder with another Solo Shot bonus taking that to 75.
=============
Up next this week was Dundee's league winning goalkeeper Pat Liney: Dundee legendary goalkeeper Pat Liney dies aged 86 - BBC Sport
The link on Dundee's website is much better: Pat Liney | 1936-2022 - Dundee Football Club - Official Website (dundeefc.co.uk)
I'm not going to quote that because it's worth clicking and reading the whole thing, whether you know anything about him or not. I did enjoy this part however:
This sounds hilarious and is the sort of thing that should happen more often. Liney died at 86 so he's worth 39 points for @chomp my root with a Solo Shot taking that to 89 points.
=============
The final death this week is Australian singing sensation Olivia Newton-John: Dame Olivia Newton-John obituary | Musicals | The Guardian
I'll say two things about her. I didn't realise she'd first been diagnosed with cancer 30 years ago. She did well.
When I was in primary school, each year the P7 class put on a performance at the end of the year. Somehow, someone watched Grease and came up with the idea of performing songs from that. Every year since I've done the Dead Pool and people have picked her I've been transported back to being 12 years old, in a leather jacket and slicked back hair singing You're The One That I Want. I don't think I've seen the film since then.
Newton-John died at 73 so she's worth 52 Base Points for @ayrunitedfw, @Cardinal Richelieu, @djchapsticks, @Enigma, @get_the_subbies_on, @gkneil, @Les Cabbage, @Lex, @lichtgilphead, @Lofarl, @mathematics, @Ned Nederlander, @psv_killie, @Raidernation, @RossBFaeDundee, @Savage Henry, @senorsoupe and @weirdcal.
There's also a Vice-Captain bonus for @microdave for 78 points.
There's also a Captain's bonus for @jimbaxters for 104 points.
