    Thoughts On The 2024 List

    Despite what I feel are a few silly misses like Julie Goodyear I think upon reflection and and a few days alcohol free this is an excellent list. As I said elsewhere I think it's possible the committee could have a hit total as high as 28. The early success with Glynis Johns is a good sign the enema means business!

    Derby Dead Pool 2024

    Thanks for your kind compliments! 55 + uniques I'll take that! I took a risk by keeping hold of a few from last year to avoid there being a high total in list of the Missed because as @YoungWillz pointed out I seemed a bit jinxed on that front this year! If the small number of used again names reduce my unique tally so be it. Deadpooling is no fun with no risk taking in my opinion. Pleased to hear I influenced one of your picks. No offence to the lady concerned but I'd love it to be a hit for you! Angry Anderson sang the charted wedding song to Charlene Ramsay and Scott Robinsons nuptials. Oh it takes me back to a world and age when life and Kylie Minogue was much more innocent and tame before she became a saucey madam of the dance floor!

    I'm so glad you picked Christina Crawford! I'd hate her to go on the list of the Missed if she died.

    Queen Margrethe II of Denmark

    Personally i would like to see a few more working royals in the years ahead to replace the Kents and Gloucesters when they retire, reduce their workload or die.But people who have chosen to live abroad( and their offspring ) be publicly antagonistic towards the institution of monarchy should not have titles in my opinion.It makes no sense to have royal titles and live long term in America.

    Derby Dead Pool 2024

    Isnt the deadline already gone? I dont want to put my potential uniques at risk!! Those are some very intriguing teams you have posted.I will google the names I dont know a bit later but no surprise that Jim Silliars is there again!

    Thoughts On The 2024 List

    I'm not in a state to be objective and fair at this moment,I have consumed alcohol and I'm in shock Yoko Ono has been dropped and I am stunned and smarting that Julie Goodyear is not on the list. However once I have consumed some Pepsi Max and passed some time typing up my Derby Dead Pool teams I am sure I will then be able to see that despite the two things that stunned me that it is a good list!

    Pleased to receive my emails confirming that all my DDP picks have been accepted and entered into the game. I have always managed to stay within the games eligibility rules for picks despite being a bit zany, out there and left field. Thanks for your hard work @Banana
