This is the 2017 deathlist, right? I'm just preempting her status by the time of death.

Oh shit I actually thought Roberts was still alive. Bowie was intentional.

OK, I have updated the first post with your choices.

Mr Russell · **Joined:** 6th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 12337

Lewie, I think rules 8 and 9 disqualify you from scoring points for Bowie by the way if you want to change it.
