If he stays on I think the tories will get a shocking rude awakening and brutal slap in the face from the public at the local elections in May .

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/uknews/17308225/bbc-reporter-john-stevenson-dead-partner-mystery/ The exact circumstances and cause of death of BBC reporter John Stevenson and his partner will likely remain forever a mystery according to a delayed inquest.

Saw James Whale trending on twitter and thought my prediction of a third January hit had come true but alas no. He was trending because of comments he made about not wanting to be treated by unvaccinated NHS staff causing some controversy.

Mea Culpa just realised Bob Falkenburg was my sub who hadn't moved up into the main team . I got confused with the twisted pool. Just realised when I went to the paper copies of my teams to circle Bob Falkenburg in red as a 'hit' to realise my embarrassing mistake. Apologies @gcreptile

Douglas Ross, leader of the Scottish tories calls on Boris Johnson to resign.

Can't wait to find out how many of my picks are unique! I'm surprised the number of new picks has modestly declined. I for one have certainly tried to maximum the unique pick incentive for all its worth!

An excellent post! What I will say today is there won't be a huge gap between hit or plop 2 and hit or plop 3. My enema vibrations are indicating to me don't be shocked if there is a third January hit . The runners of the DeathList should expect to be kept pretty busy for the first 3 or 4 months of 2022.

Nope He was one of my painful drops I guesses there was a good chance he wouldn't remain unique so moved him. Might have been a mistake!

Cheers Will !

Bob Falkenburg a 'hit' for me here once a qualifying obituary emerges.

https://www.theintelligencer.com/sports/article/Bob-Falkenburg-tennis-star-who-gave-Brazil-fast-16765318.php US tennis player Bob Falkenburg a' hit' for me in this pool. Please replace him with Mardi Gra bomber Edgar Pearce @Lafaucheuse

I too am keen and interested in the drop 40 and which picks are unique, who has been picked by what team but I think we have just a little while still to wait to find out as the DDP runners have an enormous task in getting everything sorted and typed up.

Both the Bushes died in the same year

Optimism is such an attractive trait...!

At least twice a week! A mirror in the hall would also suffice.

Ooh a kindred spirit!

Oh I will be kind and gracious and just settle for you telling me how magnificent and fantastic I am if the prediction comes true and if it doesn't come true my good self reiterating that due to my underestimating people's lack of faith in the enema. That I didn't appreciate that 2022 like 2021 performed below my expectations because the enema punished us collectively for our ungrateful and arrogant lack of faith in it despite it delivering for us spectacularly in 2020 and refused to play ball. Keep your faith strong and you'll keep the enema strong... or something like that!! Think of some of the biblical stories were lack of faith in God and his power was punished by God ... and that's how best to understand what's happening with the enema @msc @Lafaucheuse !

Sticking with Jacques Delors.

Don't be surprised if 2022 matches or surpasses 2020! In terms of the Derby Dead Pool let me put it this way, if you were still on that pools committee in 2022 you'd experience repetitive strain injury in your hands more severe than the world's biggest porn addict!! So Count your blessings as @Death Impends and @gcreptile are going to be spending most of this year furiously tugging and rubbing away with little break!! Not sure what I can offer you as a betting wager? But I bet in the future 2022 will be looked back upon as a brilliant golden and successful year in deadpooling.

Nor was the enema which tends to be associated with the other!

Two deathlist hits in less than 5 days!! No one can persuade me the enema isn't gearing up for a massive year in 2022. The plops keep coming!!

You seem to be doing rather well this year so far!

Thomas Markle known to have multiple health issues, in his late seventies but would he qualify for many of the deadpools on here?

God loves a trier!
