    Ideas and possibilities for 2024

    I thought Phil Collins just has problems standing to perform and drumming due to back injuries. Although possibly the situation has deteriorated.

    Nah, Delon is big enough. Maybe not US big but Europe knows him. Bardot is huge. Phil has these illnesses but I went with the 80's star death trend. Didn't know Fox was that bad now. Google time.

    Last 1926 state leader standing

    Dizdarević appears to be celebrating his 97th birthday in that picture, from 2022, and other Bosnian news articles from the time seem to back this up when run through a translator. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but would this not date his birth at no later than 9th December 1925?

    Ideas and possibilities for 2024

    I'm 30 and I know BB since forever. She is like a milestone of beauty and I don't know any movie she did. She's like Marilyn Monroe but not dead yet so people don't use her pics as much. I've seen girls use her as inspiration. She's just known. Deneuve is not as famous outside France and UK. She's an actress, not a symbol of something. No hate, just beaing real. My dad who loves French cinema had to think twice to remember her. BB beats CD in fame. Deneuve is like Belmondo. Famous but not a FAMOUS. Loren is a legend.

    Derby Dead Pool 2024

    And...we're off! I want to thank the committee again for the hard work they put in each year. This is the absolute greatest Dead Pool. I have some picks for 2024, who if they get a QO, will strain @Death Impends creativity in writing a DDP obit.

    He'd have to die with 21 other people so an independent adjudicator can line up and number the coffins and do the funeral that way.

I did 19km for #1s of 98/99 on a sweltering day, because it was tolerable. I will not be listening to 69 (heh) Christmas songs on the 3rd of December in sludgy snow. If I haven't already heard them then they're not iconic enough to win.

    I think I should be on 749 points, with the death of Kissinger being worth 23.

    Probably be a wasted pick, that. This is a man who cured his cancer with positive energy and an electromagnetic contraption he got from Amazon. Nothing'll stop him.

    Hartlepool Deadlypool 2023

    IIRC DDP has accepted QOs where the only indication the person died was "the late suchandsuch" with no mention of when they died. When I open up the HPDP24 thread I can add a wee note that the date of death can be verified with non-QO sources.

    Derby Dead Pool 2024

    Yes, deadpoolers, it’s this time again. 2023 has had departures from as sad as Tina Turner to as welcomed as Henry Kissinger, but there’s still two constants in this world: The Derby Dead Pool, and us laughing at whichever poor souls fall for Superstar Billy Graham again. Erm, okay, one constant. For 2024, @Banana and I are continuing in our previous posts. As for @gcreptile's announced retirement. We all can agree he has done a bang up job for the past four years entering the celeb deaths and sorting out bugs while never losing his trademark zen. As it stands he is still in talks with a potential successor and will remain on the committee for at least another month or so to assure a smooth transition, and we will keep you updated as that progresses. Dear Jimmy - either die in the next week, or go all the way to 2024 - love, Banana THE RULES remain the same as they have for the past few years. Be warned – Ruth Langsford mother falls afoul of our FFBI criteria. IMPORTANT REMINDER: The spreadsheet method of entry that began in 2021 remains in service. The 2024 spreadsheet, identical to the 2023 one in all but filename, can be found here. It is heavily recommended to use the spreadsheet as means of entry to reduce Banana's workload as much as possible. If you are absolutely unable to work with the Excel spreadsheet, still make sure to recheck GUN's DDP entry guide thread from 2020 to make the formatting of your email as smooth as possible.
