Well, I pop off for my tea and this happens! I guess I should brace myself for a loss from my TOTP Theme team next. And I think she was on all my lists for next year, so I'll PM/post where necessary. Goodbye fair June, it's a shame you could not carry on. RIP.

I've now seen about 3 or 4 sources which I'd describe as reliable. However, we await. I've got the News Channel channeling....but now they've gone to fucking Sportsday!

As always with these things, when Lizo Mzimba's twitter comes in, that's when I'll ab fabelieve it!

Fuck! Another sub needed, this time for my Comedy Cremations team 2019 @Spade_Cooley if this is correct. Also, points for me for this year, if correct!

Very dead according to this:

Cheers, sorry to see Ruth go 2 days before it starts, I had hoped she would have at least seen the New Year. Gawd rest her soul.

Me as well. Submitted my team ages ago, every freaking year I get at least one faller. Well, I guess I'm not giving anything away, Ruth's place is taken by....Olivia Newton-John!

Told you, if you can't beat them, then have a go at beating them!

Also, the Inverse Pool. Pick those who will live for the whole of 2019. Starts in January, you select 25 names from 50 most popular picks in the DDP.

Well, as expected, that's my first faller from the DDP Main team 2019. Better e-mail @Spade_Cooley.

He's 90 today! From Wombles to Wilfrid, a legend.

Actually, having read it now, there's at least three imo who are getting it on a "Ken Dodd, Last Nod" basis....

Wait a minute, the freaking list is out already?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-46693826

Not sure they should take it out on Betty. The Establishment, however it is established, is quite content for people to know their place and do whatever is necessary to uphold the system that keeps the Establishment established. Tezza May's word on the doorstep of Number 10 when she took office were essentially a steal from Thatcher's. And empty words indeed for she cares naught for aspiration or enterprise, unless it comes out of the class and colour to which she was born. And let's face it, the "lower classes" as they would have it, lap that shit up. Happy to serve their country and lose limbs and life in the process against those privileged few drinking champagne at the Lord Mayor's Dinner each year, whispering their gratefulness for your sad loss. Happy to have their nameless name that nobody knows on an Invictus medal, so that Harry and his ilk can have some good PR. Happy to take reduced NHS services so that Starbucks, Amazon and Sport Direct can employ their children on what is laughingly termed "a living wage". Happy not to be able to afford a home until their 40s and have their extra bedrooms taxed so that the Cabinet can knock about Chequers, playing chequers with their great-grandkids future. "We are all in it together" they say. But remember, we doesn't include them. They will be fine. It's not hypocrisy, unless you include the hypocrisy of those who eat the bowl of shit they are served, tip their forelock and say thank you guv'nor. Yours, an interested observer.

I recall she was a pick for Death Impends in the Hare's Pool either last year, this year or both. Anyway, the name stuck and when she copped it, an obvious post.

Guardian Obit: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2018/dec/28/honey-lantree-obituary Feel safe posting this, with Savile intro:

I guess all it needs is to multiply and add all the bonuses rather than divide and subtract. Ah, well.

Running this again?

I actually got two e-mails initially, responded to one, got my acknowledgement my teams were in, and the reminder. So it was all working for Hotmail...

Cheers, @Deathray, but with three days to go, I'm fairly sure my team will be ok with 4 subs still standing. If there's a New Year's Eve massacre, I'll PM you.

You can, and conversely can't, see his helmet!

Fate has indeed been tempted! They think it's all Overton - it might be now! Hits for @Death Impends, @Joey Russ; @YorkshireBanker and @Bibliogryphon. Out of these, only one player gets any bonuses. It's that man again....extending his lead.... Death Impends: Pair of 9s = 10 Points; Two Pair of 9s and 6s = 15 Points; Two Pair of 9s and 7s = 15 Points. Total Additional Points: 40. Leaderboard Updated.

So, now we need: A QO. The name of the oldest WWII vet US. America's oldest man.
