I predict a riot. But being neither a Kaiser, nor a chief, I suspect no-one will take me seriously. On other news I predict Iceland will embugger air travel again this summer - go by boat

I always assumed it was a joke, but goddamn people really do enter a lot of already dead people in the DDP.

I predict Joe will win Strictly, a woman will win CBB and Mary Berry, Mel and Sue will do either a parody of, or the real thing of, driving off a cliff edge come October's close of Brexit negotiations.

I predict a huge amount of boredom, hatred of one's own family, jealousy, bankruptcy and general wanting to be elsewhere doing other things on the 25th December this year.

The name that I really think the DL have underestimated is Stefan Karl.The guy was part of a highly successful children's show much like John Noakes.

You shat yourself?

Ana Maria Vela Rubio, Spain's oldest person ever, has died at the age of 116.

I predicted this morning that I’d get home and take a great big dump. You’ll never guess what happened when I got home?

Max Clifford?

Me too, 2017 just wasn't the same with no Deathrace entry.

Well, you see, you can’t technically pick me in anything because I am still underaged.

Charles Laughton stopped being a witness for the prosecution on this day 55 years ago, aged 63.

Listened to In Our Time yesterday and I thought Melvyn Bragg sounded a bit breathless by the end of the show. Not the first time I have thought this.

I predict this thread will be closed. Hint, hint....

Makes sense, he hasn't posted in a few days.

Saturo Anzaki to host a going away party after being diagnosed with terminal cancer.

Serious thanks for T-Mib for his handover notes by the way, he's still going to be the MVP of DDP 2k18 even without hosting. It's like when you start a new job and the previous employee actually left a decent list of instructions for what you have to do in the gig.

Good luck everyone, but especially Spade. Currently picture you going "Free at last" like Marcus Scarman at the end of Pyramids here. Planning to do a OoO 2010, continue the tradition?

He certainly feels deathlisty, he also seems like someone who would "get" the deathlist too, but he's one of a handful of people I could never put in a dead pool because I like him too much.

Deathrace is even no. 2 for me. And I usually suck at it. Hopefully, the Deathlist Cup gave me the necessary experience to do better with the quick deaths.

I will be back with my laughable bunch of dead cert survivors. Hope it lasts a bit longer than last year.

Big 3 - no shit? I'll put together an information pack for potential sponsors. Co-op Funeral Care will want to, surely

Just letting you know I'll start working on the thread for the Deathrace in a couple of weeks and likely post it and open up for entries on or by 1 Nov Given the tonnage of deadpools hereabouts can I assume there'll be enough interest - i.e. about 12-20 teams - to make it worthwhile? Usual deal - teams of 20, points for every calendar day to go in the year when a pick dies, jokers, 18+ for team picks and fairly tolerant attitude to what exactly is a q/o and a full set of rules confirming all this so's everyone who can be arsed reading them is duly warned of what's going on.

Valerie Perrine might be worth considering.
