Literally, Spade was so on top of the deaths and I wasn't in a great place (with my personal deaths), I was irrelevant. Honestly, I'm going to be in catch up mode where we are with instantaneous updates, but if I catch one I'm just gonna help out. Spade was so awesome on his updates. I saw so many unique hits and couples and triples this year, could not let my Committee down. I'll still be behind, but I'll find those little fuckers which might just pass us by. Spade never needed help. those who ask will always will find help at Hogwarts!!!

Aww, much appreciated..

tbf, a glaikit sod who might be on the DDP Cmme asked him nicely if he was still doing them. On account of being a glaikit sod and being likely to miss names once 700 a week pop their clogs. I have been warned 2020 deaths are going to be like a medical procedure by a passing Crumble...

Oh you take a two year break and start again this year, huh?
