Like, in the voting booth?

Thank you all! And thanks a lot Cpt. for hosting! I guess Kirsty Smitten was the winning pick. Otherwise, the team didn't exactly feel like a winning one in the end, with the nr. 1,7 and 8 not dying. Hell, even Steve McMichael is STILL alive. But I guess I have to be glad I didn't put him or Black Bart Harris higher. Carter was a shared no. 1 by almost everybody anyway. A couple of lucky survivors worked in my favour, MariNisia had James Whale at 1st (Book had him at 6th, Perhaps at 14th)., so... thank you, too, James Whale?

Theo Burrell will be abseiling for charity soon: https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/27790247/antiques-roadshow-terminal-cancer-update-theo-burrell/ Her regular scans have shown no cancer regrowth so far.

Maybe I missed it, but we never posted the cancer diagnosis of actress Olivia Williams: https://www.vogue.co.uk/arts-and-lifestyle/article/olivia-williams-pancreatic-cancer https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olivia_Williams Well, she recently revealed that it's "rare" pancreatic cancer that she still has, and that is being managed (maybe the neuroendocrine variant?): https://uk.news.yahoo.com/olivia-williams-cancer-not-cured-060000013.html Edit: Ok, Wikipedia says it's a VIPoma, i.e. yes, an endocrine cancer.

Current presidential candidate RFK Jr. was once thought to have a brain tumour, right when Ted Kennedy was dying from it, but on further inspection, it was a dead parasite: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/08/us/rfk-jr-brain-health-memory-loss.html

Boeing 2-1 Whistleblowers

Never really listened to the song before, didn't know it was a Pet Shop Boys rip off, especially It's a Sin.

It does look like those of you who submitted their teams with a warning that there weren't many super good picks around were right.... Starting on friday, I will have another absence, this time for a whole week. But it will not interfere with any deadlines. If you ask me, we can expect 2-3 hits in that time.

My first sub Kris Hallenga died just before entering the team. I'd like to nominate author Caleb Carr now.

Sounds like two of my personal favourites, Croatia and Ireland have quite the bit of momentum. Maybe I'm too mainstream?

She is probably cancer-free but the doctors don't want to call it that at this moment: https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/princess-beatrice-update-sarah-ferguson-cancer-battle/

Sudarshan Maharaj might have pulled off the - almost - impossible, for now: https://www.nhl.com/news/anaheim-goalie-coach-sudarshan-maharaj-announces-cancer-status

Well, that was extremely fast: https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/rapist-victor-farrant-who-drowned-32744947

If allowed, Kris Hallenga is a hit here: https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/breaking-coppafeel-founder-kris-hallenga-32729448

I was wondering why she wasn't on more teams after that living funeral...but I'll take it. Probably because she lasted so long, much longer than everybody thought. Good for her, but still too early though. She probably was the last living example of the OG cancer celebrities.
