**STOP PRESS**

Some late drama in the Deathlist game. The Groom (who can't access his h2g2 account) has reported that we missed the death of Robert Guillaume in October. This puts The Groob into a 15 point lead with 2 days to go! Can anyone catch him?

Robert Guillaume

I'll update the homepage and scoreboard when I can (my automated pivot table malarkey's decided to stop working today)

I've also received The Groob's entry for 2018.

Icy

The Groob, not The Groom (thanks, autocorrect)

Pivot table malarkey fixed:

Home Page updated: A87883285
Scoreboard updated: A87883294

Sent my list.
I decided to remove Christopher Coke after discovering that he was arrested some time ago and is in an American jail, which should be safer than out on the streets of Jamaica. Abousamra is one of only a couple of people I could find on a quick trawl through the FBI Most Wanted Terrorists list who is under 50. A surprising number of them are in their 50s.

Got it - thanks Bob!

But Wikipedia says Abousamra died in January 2017 - please would you send me a replacement?

Replacement received now

I'm just sorting out mine for 2018.

Maybe it's because I'm in Goo, but on the 2017 scoreboard clicking on every name at the top of the table just takes me to the old Front Page. These used to be links to the news stories.

I think Classic Goo is dying a slow death

I cannot access certain pages in that skin, nor take my Scout picks - I have to switch to Brunel

Thank Coelacanth

I just discovered it doesn't work in Alabaster either. I'll take a look...

Yes, this was an error in the GML, and entirely my fault

I'd been fiddling with my spreadsheet to automate recording the new entries for 2018 and generating bits of the homepage. I added a column in my 'Celebs' table, and this affected the formula which looks up the obituary link. It was picking up a blank cell instead. h2g2 was directing you to the homepage, as it doesn't know what to do with blank links.

But it's fixed now
