Go out and push it over and beat the driver to death, what's stopping you? This isn't like you at all

A red snow warning?

I I will go with this fellow

What an absolute cunt.

How did I miss this? The others have said what I wanted to extremely well but, "Gentlemen"? Here? Hein (perfect gentleman, sadly missed) Cat, YW, SC, DI, DDT, PB** some more, but they're generally, er actually I was thinking I'd list two or three but on consideration there's lots we'll not mention MK and LFN is an absolute wrong-un too. Also, you do know women are allowed on the internet now? (With the permission of their fathers or husbands of course) Drive-by ranters are rare in this day and age. Please stick around. You'd be welcome ** Complete coincidence I included my bosses there. I honestly do think they're gentleman.

The 31st of February is my least favorite day too.

Our combined contributions so far, plus my own couple. Who needs Tripadvisor? P.S. BIG UP BASILDON

Ruthie Tompson surely counts?

Somehow I had him as being born in 1910 but it seems that 1912 is correct. Thanks, I like accurate information.

As in mine, but I have him down as a young 106 years old in a fortnights time?

Dusty Springfield just didn't know what to do with herself, so she died at the age of 59 on this day 19 years ago.

Ah, that'll be because even the Basildonians have noticed how much of a toilet the town centre is now. Pound shop, Pound shop, 99p shop, Closed shop, Buffet restaurant, Another closed shop, Pound shop, Toys R Us, Burned down shop, Primark, Pound shop. Even the centrepiece mother & baby statue is cack. By 7pm, everyone'll be down the road in Festival Leisure, spilling drinks on the small pool tables in Hollywood Bowl before piling into Unit 7 nightclub and getting glassed by a fucking scrawny crack dealing Woodlands School dropout. And as for Shitsea... (Yes, I only live about 10 mins away from Bas)

It's very rural. Couldn't prove a thing. He'd easily get away with it and absolutely used to snow so I think he should do it. We'll provide alibis if needed. That sort of thing would drive me to murder too...

Tabloid speculation of impending death is fine, yet internet speculation is some nefarious deed undertaken by sociopaths. I suggest your strongly worded letter (preferably checked for spelling and grammar corrections in advance) is amended to include the Daily Mail and other newspapers who actively encourage have-a-go-heroes to take out respected members of the judiciary, rather than people who speculate about potential events that they have no hand in influencing. And yes, I must confess to some envy of Wojciech Jaruzelski. I would love to be able to sport tinted spectacles with the panache that he did. Plus, I'd love my own secret police (I'd be much better at deadpooling if I had a team of people dedicate to the task on my behalf). Also, I do enjoy a good borscht. Mmmmm. Borscht.

Adding to the towns of iniquity, I was once dragged to a party in a Social Hall in Cannock as a mate of mine thought he was in luck with a woman going to this party. It turned out the average age of the attendees was around about 16 (I think I was around 23 at the time) and it was like walking into a village of the damned. Only this village was populated by 16-year-olds with a baby in tow, ears being stretched by the largest pair of Argos hoop 'gold' earrings you're ever likely to see and demanding that you go and buy them some ciggies and White Lightning from the corner shop where they've already been banned for stealing coffee whitener. Fucking hell, never have I been happier to leave a party before getting a drink in. My mate was persona non grata for at least a month after that little excursion. When I drove back home, I made him slum it in the boot.

Rather than any analysis, just some thoughts on the popular 2018 deadpooling picks: Anzaki - went from 4 teams in Round 1 to 5 in Round 2. Bracknell - went from 14 teams in Round 1 to 4 in Round 2! Rover and some dashing chap called msc were the only 2 to keep faith with Brackers. Though an impressive 11/14 people to pick her in Round 1 went out! Blanco - A Charon unique in Round 1, a Charon unique in Round 2. Certainly a goner, maybe not this soon? Could be a very smart pick though. The Bush Couple - Went from 2 teams to 1 team, but the team with each of them in Round 1 kept them. Only this time, Rover and YWillz have unique picks, due to their Round 1 competition leaving the Cup! Cappotelli - Sean remains the only person so far backing the WWE man not to be tough enough. De Koven - Went from 3 teams to 2 teams, and that's 5 different teams in total! Ken Doddery - Still a YWillz solo pick. Goodwin - Goes from 5 teams to 8 teams. Hamilton-Byrne - With no Maryport (her champion in these parts), AHB goes from 3 teams in Round 1 to none at all in Round 2. Jose Jose Jose Jose - Went from 8 teams to 11 of the 16. Is he ill or something? Jowell - Went from 6 teams to 2, and curiously, was on a bunch of top contenders teams in Round 1, all of whom dropped her for Round 2. Instead, Sean and Chorizo, two entirely different top contenders, have nabbed her, when you'd assume she's a month closer to expiring of brain cancer? Lynott - Went from 9 teams in Round 1 to only 3 in Round 2. A clear reaction to her looking well (for someone with incurable lung cancer) at a public event in mid-Feb. McCain - 8 to 5, but with 6/8 eliminated in Round 1. Only me and Rad survived. Moss - Went from 2 teams to 4. Surprisingly low number imo. Rae - Went from 6 teams to being a unique pick for msc, somehow, incredibly. Stefansson - Was on 3 teams in Round 1, all exited the Cup. On 3 teams again, which seems incredibly low given the outlook - would have been on my team if I'd been able to send in a later team! Vervoort - Goes from 12/22 to 16/16. The most popular pick in Cup history. Going to be a LOL if she now survives the month and makes everyone look foolish! Vento - From 1 team to 4. As you'd imagine for a centenarian with pancreatic cancer! Hannigan - The only pick to jump from nowhere. No picks in Round 1. Eleven picks in Round 2. Curious as I've been monitoring her case on and off for years now - almost part of the furniture round these parts like a Vivian Campbell or Daisy Berkow...oh yeah, he died.

Yes I learned a lot about you fine folks in the EU (or not). Interesting search. I think I did too much side reading, you know...all busy learning shit....rather than focusing on the task at hand. SC

A few observations thus far: This time, there have been 190 picks over the 5 categories, compared to 192 in the last game. We have ended up with the same number of players (15) with 8 returnees (plus Biblio who ran it and didn't play first time round). At 52 picks, the Grammys category has produced more different picks than anything in the first round (Dr Who had 50 picks). James (J) A Preston appeared in both Dallas and the Kevin Bacon film 'A Few Good Men', with Grim Up North scoring a unique pick in the former and GCReptile a unique pick in the latter. 6 players in this game picked Jose Jose in their March Deathlist Cup teams (predicting him to die in the next 30 days) but only Yorkshire Banker picked him in this one (to die probably in the next year) and he's not even one of the 6 still in the Deathlist Cup! FujimoriNoMorey leads the unique picks with 15/25, with YoungWillz second on 11/25 and Biblio third on 10/25. Rotten Ali won the last game via this method. For the second game in a row, I cannot win via this method, as I only have 2 unique picks () and this time I am the only person so affected. () No, but Ken Kercheval was picked on 7 teams (nearly half) and he was virtually main cast. Most popular choice across all 5 categories was 92 year-old Morgan Woodward in this category.

Surprised Kretzmer is unique, thought he'd be a likely gcreptile pick since he was on his B Team last year. Also nice to see William Phipps (just barely qualified for the category, but I recall it being mentioned here he had health issues) and Jim Lovell (I had to go for the astronaut that fit the criteria!) uniques.

They can easily get round this by calling it Eddie Stobart.

Flintstones in Plymouth?

WTF, who the fuck are you anyway? I bet this is Joey Russ bored at home as per.

A man boarded an airplane and took his seat. As he settled in, he glanced Up and saw the most beautiful woman boarding the plane. He soon realized She was heading straight towards his seat. As fate would have it, she took The seat right beside his. Eager to strike up a conversation he blurted out, “Business trip or pleasure?” She turned, smiled and said, “Business. I’m going to the Annual Nymphomaniacs of America Convention in Boston." He swallowed hard. Here was the most gorgeous woman he had ever seen Sitting next to him, and she was going to a meeting of nymphomaniacs! Struggling to maintain his composure, he calmly asked, “What’s your Business at this convention?” “Lecturer,” she responded. “I use information that I have learned from my Personal experiences to debunk some of the popular myths about sexuality.” “Really?” he said. “And what kind of myths are there?” “Well,” she explained, “one popular myth is that African-American men are The most well-endowed of all men, when in fact it is the Native American Indian who is most likely to possess that trait. Another popular myth is That Frenchmen are the best lovers, when actually it is Scotsmen who are the best. I have also discovered that the lover with Absolutely the best stamina is the Irish Suddenly the woman became a little uncomfortable and blushed.. “I’m Sorry,” she said, “I shouldn't really be discussing all of this with you. I don’t Even know your name.” “Tonto,” the man said, “Tonto McTavish but my friends call me Paddy"
