tbh I don't know whats funnier, Prestwick having an international airport, or them chucking Glasgow on the name because no one had heard of Prestwick in America.

BBC Sports personality of the year is utter shite. It is something that would have been ok in the 50s but, decades later, it is fucking embarrassing to watch a cringe fest. It needs to be shot, burnt and then buried somewhere. Just sayin, like.

No sign on BBC website yet but Fanny Waterman was mentioned in the 8 o' clock news summary this morning Which is when I took her off first place on my provisional squads for the Deathrace and HPDP

English Singer and Musician Chad Stuart from "Chad & Jeremy" died at 79 years: http://www.chadandjeremy.net/index.html

Doesn't seem to work on my iPad. Well, the use questions come up but I can't see where to put the answers.

Good Solstice to you all.

Jerry Relph, from St. Cloud, Minnesota, was a Republican who served Senate District 14 in 2016. Relph was exposed to COVID-19 in early November and tested positive on Nov. 13. The following weekend he was evaluated at an emergency room and sent home twice. He died on Friday (Dec 18). SCunto

There is not one person in this thread famous enough for DDP. SCunto

If you read the article at the link Reptile posted, you'll find out.

Okay update time. OoO flagged hereabouts late last year that Tom Belso, the first Dane to race in Formula One, was not long for this world with the caveat of dodgy obitability. Fortune favoring the brave, maryportfuncity selected him for the Hartlepool. Belso made a speedy exit as promised, but his demise failed to reverberate beyond racing specialist media. Though throughout the year maryport's team managed to occasionally take the lead despite the handicap, as of yesterday he had been in fourth place - cruelly behind by just enough that if nothing else happened, Belso's failure to obit would cost him a win. Tom Belso seemed destined to go down in history as the Carrie Hamilton of the Hartlepool Deadlypool. maryport did cling onto hope with the BBC's annual "which sportsfolk did we lose this year?" roundup. As the fates would have it, that roundup has arrived, and the article's collators have deemed Tom Belso as worthy of mention. With that QO, Belso now delivers 40 base points and 16 uniqueness bonus points to maryport, a total of 56. Additionally, because Belso did not QO for a long time, he had no impact on subsequent point values of maryport's other hits. This means all of maryport's hits (except Qaboos, who died before Belso, and Terry Jones, who was a sub) are impacted by this new development. Paul Farnes GAINS 5 base points - new total now 28 Daniel arap Moi LOSES 5 base points - new total now 64 Genesis P-Orridge GAINS 5 base points - new total now 56 Judy Dyble GAINS 5 base points - new total now 56 Lee Kerslake GAINS 5 base points - new total now 49 And thus we have a new scoreboard. This second major December surprise sees maryport takes the lead with 11 days to go. Will it hold? No matter what happens in the waning days, it's certain this will go down as a classic season of the Hartlepool Deadlypool. 1. maryportfuncity 384 2. Toast 354 3. YorkshireBanker 330 4. Book 314 5.

You’ll do no such thing, they are absolute legends, I would be genuinely upset if one of them popped off, so if we don’t talk about it then it won’t happen.

Was having a chit chat with Nadine Dorries recently. Captain Tom Moore is a member of her local Tory association. Someone alert the leftie luvvies at the BBC. They'll instantly rescind the award then we won't have to hear about him every two bloody minutes.

Haneh Hadad (wiki), Israeli police officer and Labor politician, died back in October aged 101, but it's only just been added to his Knesset profile. Believe I'm right in saying he was the oldest living former member of the Knesset.

Looks bigger to me... (Yeah, just an excuse to post Fr Ted...)

Derek Fowlds rather than Kobe Bryant ? Caroline Flack rather than Kirk Douglas ? Peter Sutcliffe rather than Maradonna ? Windsor rather than D’estaing ? Really ?

I was going to say that'll be in my head all weekend now, but *Googling* Menem Muppets immediately brings up as the first result... Well, that's my 2021 DDP obit should he make it sorted now...

Hospitalised again due to a "significant big toe infection"...

Had a strange dream last night where Sam Simon was still alive, but still diagnosed with terminal cancer at the same time he was in reality, and never stopped being an enormously popular deadpool pick. He had just announced he was stopping treatment, leaving the forum wondering if he would make an 8th consecutive DL/Drop 40 appearance.

Is it too much to ask that a moderator changes his username to Sir Cunt for the rest of the holiday season? Cheers.

The Queen should be brought back next year.Put her near the bottom of the list.When people get to 95 a fall or chest infection can trigger a terminal decline within days or weeks.She is of course the most famous woman in the world so it would be the biggest miss in the history of DL.

Update on this, three months on - Books read/completed still none. Books previously started and progressed, one. New books started, one. Additional books bought, eight. I need to get off the internet.
