While Ben was solidly in the lead, there was action behind for the 2nd place prize with Mr Anonymous out of contention. Jo Fox looked to have nabbed the prize when legendary criminal "Mad" Frankie Fraser went out with a whimper after surgery complications in November.
However to add a bit of spice, veteran Oscar winning actress Luise Rainer who'd been hanging on grimly at 104 years of age got done by pneumonia on December 30th. Apparently she had a mad one planned for NYE too so the local nightclub was gutted.
This put me and Jo neck and neck on 20 points each, but Jo ended up claiming the spoils due to a countback rule I'd completely forgotten about writing into the rules. Ho hum!
Congrats to both winners, and onward to 2015 where we have another 11 players glued to the obits for the year. Fun fun.
