Miguel Sanchez Posted Sunday at 10:53 Author Share Posted Sunday at 10:53 Week 42 update One death this week, Palestinian Militant, Yahya Sinwar: IDF video appears to show final moments of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, throwing stick at drone | Israel-Gaza war | The Guardian Quote In the last months of his life, Sinwar, the main architect of the 7 October 2023 attack on Israel that set off the war in Gaza, appears to have stopped using telephones and other communication equipment that would have allowed Israel’s powerful intelligence services to track him down. Israeli officials said they believed he was hiding in one of the vast network of tunnels that Hamas dug beneath Gaza over the past two decades, but as more and more have been uncovered by Israeli troops, even the tunnels were no guarantee of escaping capture. Intelligence services had been searching for Sinwar for months and had been gradually restricting the area where he could operate, the military said. Dental records, fingerprints and DNA testing provided final confirmation of Sinwar’s death. I'm not going to pretend I can offer any insight into his life, death or the situation in the Middle East but he definitely, definitely seems to be dead. Sinwar died at 61 so he's worth 64 Base Points. He gets an Unnatural Causes bonus for an extra 50 which means 114 points for @Alex_14, @HK Hibee, @ICTChris, @invergowrie arab and @pawpar. =============== With this in mind I had been waiting for a week of no deaths, but this seems as good a time as any. Remember Mohammed Deif, the other Hamas guy who Israel said they'd killed? Well, Wikipedia is back to saying he's alive: Mohammed Deif - Wikipedia There doesn't seem to be any additional clarification since August when he was 'killed', and given Sinwar's death you'd expect Israel to have offered more substantial confirmation. As it stands I'm currently leaning towards not counting him as dead (and making my second update to the rules based on a @Ned Nederlander pick) but you never know, I'm sure Israel has many more bombs to drop. After that, the standings look like this: 1. Ned Nederlander 797 2. The Naitch 593 3. psv_killie 564 4. Billy Jean King 536 5. mozam76 528 6. lolls 514 7. Moomintroll 502 8. choirbairn 501 9.

Chris Hoy's news deserves better than just an inclusion on this thread. Any chance of the mods splitting them into their own thread?

scottsdad Posted Monday at 13:24 Share Posted Monday at 13:24 One GP at my practice checks my prostate every time I am in with him. "Just while you're here," he says. I usually go to someone else now. He checked it first when I was about 35. Just gets a bit tiresome going in for, say, a sore elbow and ending up with your knees up to your chest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
