Yesss! I'm in!

That reminds me - who have you not been able to fit in to your Dead Pop Stars broadcast this year?

Ted Edgar, British showjumper (married to Liz Edgar) and initial mentor to Nick Skelton, dead at 85. http://www.britishshowjumping.co.uk/news/TED-EDGAR-10-September-1933--30-December-2018

Larry Cunningham is back in the hospital. Dare you pick him? https://www.soultracks.com/story-larry-cunningham-ill

Word of advice if I run this again. Set your team Joey, then take all your subs and put them in your main team! Anyway, this is looking like the closest damn run thing I ever did see! Timerman's QO means that Phantom of the Midway and Captain Chorizo hit. Bonuses ensue for the Captain: Straight - 6,7,8,9,10 = 30 Points; 7,8,9,10, J =30 Points. Total Additional Points: 60. Sub: Joey Russ draws 5 Hearts = 5 Points. Captain Chorizo barges his way back into second place, having substantially cut DI's lead. Is it too late? Will there be a Hogmanay duel? Will Joey get the Flush he's been threatening to get for months? Can anyone stop the defending champ? Leaderboard updated.

Marianna Toli, part of the quartet of singers of Greece's 1977 entry, has died: http://esctoday.com/170680/greece-marianna-toli-1977-participant-passes-away/ Mathima Solfege finished in 5th place.

Erm, Ricketts be dead.

Welcome, soldier!

2 more sleeps. Let's face it, nobody's asleep early hours of 2019. Now if my remaining picks for next year would be good enough to remain breathing until at least 2nd January, I'll be eternally grateful.

Nobody had June Whitfield, not even me. However, 4 teams had a bad case of Ricketts, and Simon says points are awarded to msc, Torva Messor, Sean and Phantom of the Midway. Bonuses: Torva Messor: Pair of 6s = 10 Additional Points. Phantom of the Midway: A Diamonds = 5 Additional Points. msc leapfrogs Captain Chorizo for second, and the Midway Phantom moves into 4th at the top. Leaderboard updated.

The massacre might actually happen. I had June Whitfield on my 2019 team, @Deathray, so could you please substitute in my first sub Paul Darrow for her? Many thanks.

June Whitfield brings me to 5 hits on my Comedy Cremations Theme Team. I'm upgrading my score for that to a B-, and edited my post above.

Well, June Whitfield was on my list, so that's 15 hits for me, and yes I will say so far. Can't see me getting beat by the Committee this year. YW - 15; DL - 12.

Jinxed her.....
