DDP 2021: Moore Time To Die - Derby Dead Pool The Year End Review. imo we should sack the co-ho...oh wait, already done. As George Michael put it, Freedom...

Zheng Min is an unique hit for @Famous6Eva CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Viktor Saneyev is a hit for me in Olympic Gold Medalists.

The other was Charles Njonjo, former Attorney General of Kenya who was the first post holder after Kenya gained independence. Before you start arguing about notability a quick search of Njonjo and you’ll see he was discussed in the 100 Club, African Despots, Immortals and Political Frailty threads, as well as being chosen in numerous pools over the years. Read the threads, do your own research and fuck off.

Hamish no More. Former Scotland player Hamish K. More has died aged 81. Played 18 first class matches & toured with the MCC in '78-79. He still holds the Scottish record for catches in a match, 7 vs Pakistan, taken in 1971.

Sorry once your team is in unless the picks die before the starting line or are disallowed then your team is your team - even in those situations it just falls back on your subs bench. Otherwise I'd have a lot of requests to swap their jokers for Gary Burgess.

Helps to do a search, first. lol

Stephen J. Lawrence, who composed over 300 songs for Sesame Street, has died. He was 82. https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/stephen-j-lawrence-dead-1235015151/

I forget how young a lot of you are.

December 31st.

Just won TWO fantasy football championships tonight.

Yep, that's the North Norfolk coast road. Though to be fair there's a couple of places that's suitable - Stiffkey and Cley. I was in a school trip in a borrowed minibus and we scraped up the side due to an idiot going too fast. Tractors I don't mind. People tend to quickly realise they will lose any argument when they meet something large and agricultural in their path.

It didn't make any sense for her to keep narrating the episodes after Jessica Raine left.

New up to date video message from Joan Collins so deadpoolers can judge and consider for themselves how she is.

Bibliogryphon 3.9 I will make sure to check the masterlist again at some point, to see if I missed any hits. And yes, I know the teams on the masterlist are not fully up to date, but they are all up to date in my Excel file. I might have to do something where I only update the masterlists to mark who is dead, rather than how it moves other names scores up and down, to work it with my busier life.

Right all teams fully loaded up - just under 500 this year. Still about 360 celeb new misspelt not recognised celebs to check (565 already done) and lots of other checking to do but always a nice milestone to have all the teams on. No review of dodgy picks has taken place yet as names not 'released' to reptile and DI yet. That will happen over the next week. I am now at the point where I no longer have to write '(footballer)' in front of Pele which I feel like I have done about 250 times but I'll find out later how many. No more squeezing Emeritus into the Pope's name. No more adding the dash in to Oliver Newton-John. No more adding the . to Michael J. Fox No more rewriting Queen Elizabeth II or just adding II. etc etc etc

Reminds me while I was running the crowdsourced list a few years back I actually accidentally marked down Godard as Jean Luc Picard

Richard Leakey, Kenyan paleoanthropologist, conservationist and politician, has died aged 77. 2 notable Kenyans in one day. Obituaries: The Independent, Daily Mail, The Guardian, The Telegraph, The Times, BBC

I wonder if Seinfeld is one of those committee-friendly shows, ala how much they liked using names from the Dick Van Dyke/Mary Tyler Moore-sphere. I guess if Liz Sheridan ever appeared that would confirm it.

- George's mom on Seinfeld (Frank's wife) - Mrs Potato Head in the Toy Story movies - Did a lot of voice acting in TV shows

or "Grimey," as she liked to be called
