Where's the Quim Reaper when you need early 2010s music knowledge?

Yep, Joker at the Top then 19 additions with up to 3 subs. I like to get in early, avoid it perhaps getting lost or delayed in a massive New Year outage or possible downtime due to heavy load. I'd say normally because I'm confident my picks will live til the New Year (only a fortnight!) but for 2019 I'm not as confident. My subs will save any bother hopefully.

Trump Foundation to be dissolved following allegations it was used for his personal and business benefit: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2018/dec/18/michael-flynn-sentencing-donald-trump-latest-live-updates

Well yes, I've even had my teams acknowledged as accepted. Very efficient! mailto:ddp@derbydeadpool.co.uk

15/20. 75%. Which is better than most of my deadpooling, so go me!

75 today!

Tulsi Giri, former Nepalese PM and DDP pick, dead according to this: https://thehimalayantimes.com/nepal/former-pm-giri-no-more/

Joan still banging on about the consent culture killing off the art of seduction: https://www.itv.com/news/2018-12-17/dame-joan-collins-fears-consent-culture-will-stamp-out-traditional-seduction/ Wait? There's an art to it?

Stud and Stable. Now that's what I want from a Government!

I'll add that The Witch Finder was as near a perfect Doctor Who as I have seen. The wholesale theft of The Green Death to make Arachnids In The UK was unforgivable. Surely we know more than ever about environmental issues that something better and original could have taken that one's place.

Difficult. I like the move away from an oblique story arc extending over a whole series. Quite simply, I remain entirely baffled by the Time War, Bad Wolf, who fits in where and why jigsaw efforts of Davies and Moffatt. Why they still can't do a longer series with more double headers I don't know. They are still fitting the denouement into about 6 or 7 minutes at the end with little time for proper set-up - and therefore character sympathy is dripped in like a soap opera over several episodes, watering it down. The Doctor? No quirks or eccentricities, little "alien" content, thus making her indistinguishable from say, Maggie Philbin on Swap Shop. (Jeez, what a reference!). I like the idea of getting off Earth more and also historicals. (Why the Tardis didn't inform them they were back in the Witch Finder times I have no idea...Doctor seemed lost and perplexed about what time zone they were in without any need for it.) Historicals can encourage watchers to find out about real events - least they did when I was a kid. And I never believed the Terreleptils started the Great Fire of London, ha! More of a lead into the next episode after rounding off the one you've just watched - again, a welcome back for that. It's become a little worthy in its messaging, and seemingly aimed at a very young age group. Even OldWillz started watching again when Capaldi was on, he's given up on this one. Come on, imagination isn't just for kids! Needs a juicy baddie!

Well, there's an open goal! She will survive. GOAAAALLLLLLL!

The Facebook article seems to have been posted on 26 June, and the video says he died about "a week ago". Good enough for me to say he died prior to the start.

Ok @gcreptile, there is no time limit on the rule that if a person has died prior to the start of the game, a sub will be inserted for that person if it is discovered subsequently. Crikey, not even I with all my double checking noticed! So I'll promote Sir Owen Glenn into Quinlan's place, leaving you 4 surviving subs. Ain't I a gent?

Whoops!

Back int' hospital: https://abc7amarillo.com/news/local/richard-overton-nations-oldest-living-wwii-vet-back-in-the-hospital-with-pneumonia

So, in summary, from then 'til now: Tezza: Brexit Means Brexit. We're going to make a success of it. (Sub-text - I always wanted to be PM). Jezza: The people have spoken. We shall honour their wishes. (Sub-text - Unless the Parliamentary Party speaks and says it doesn't have confidence in me - then we go to a People's Vote). Tezza: My Brexit Secretary is doing a fine job negotiating Brexit. (Sub-text - My first Brexit Secretary is doing a crap job. I'm re-negotiating everything behind his back). Jezza: Any deal must meet our six tests, including having the same benefits as the UK has now. That is what the Government promised and we shall hold them to that. (Sub-text - Our six tests are fucking impossible to meet, Christ even we couldn't negotiate that deal. Mwahahahahaha). Tezza: I'm opposing Parliament having a meaningful vote on any deal. (Sub-text - I'm a control freak). Jezza: Parliament has voted for a meaningful vote on any deal. (Sub-text - we won a vote. Zoinks!) Tezza: I've held a meeting at Chequers and the Cabinet are fully agreed on the way forward. (Sub-text - My Lancaster House and Mansionhouse speeches were a pile of shit. I've come up with something equally ridiculous). Davva Davies: Fuck that. (Sub-text - Fuck that). Bojo: Wibble-wobble wiff waff pingu flounce. (Sub-text - Fuck that). "On the" Raaaaaab: I'm off to Brussels to negotiate the best deal for the country. (Sub-text - I'm new here. I have no idea how this works). Tezza: No you're not Dominic, I'm taking control. (Sub-text - I'M A CONTROL FREAK). Jezza: The deal the PM has brought back doesn't meet our six tests and we shall not be voting for it. (Sub-text - Told you it was fucking impossible. Didn't I say that?) "On the" Raaaaaab: Fuck this. (Sub-text - I just found out how this works. Fuck this). Tezza: I am withdrawing the motion on a meaningful vote after 3 full days of debate. I'm off to Brussels to get reassurances from our partners. (Sub-text - I'm not losing, I'm not losing, you're losing and I'M A FUCKING CONTROL FREAK). Jezza: This is disgraceful, But go to Brussels and see how you go. (Sub-text - She's losing. Why am I not winning? Oh, my name's Jeremy, that has never helped really...) 3rd Brexit Secretary: I'll stay in London. I wasn't doing anything before I got this job. (Sub-text - Wait, I don't have a cheery nickname, like Tezza, Jezza or BoJo? What's up with that?) Tezza: Well, I'm back from Brussels and they're listening. (Sub-text - I HAD A FUCKING ROW WITH JUNCKER, BLOODY FOREIGNERS IT'S BAD ENOUGH WE STILL HAVE THEM IN THIS COUNTRY. I THOUGHT SENDNG THE RACIST VANS OUT WOULD HAVE WORKED BY NOW!) Jezza: Vote Of No Confidence in you PM. (Sub-text - If her party won't vote for it, maybe Parliament will. Mind you, it's taken me so long, I've had to type the bloody thing out again!) Tezza: I'm not allowing time for your vote. (Sub-text - the only vote that matters is the People's Vote of 2016! That's the only reason I'm PM. And I have always wanted the job). Jezza: Looks like I'm going to have to table a VoNC in the Government. (Sub-text - Shit, shit shit!) Merry Christmas!

Grammy Award Winner and pick on this pool, Galt MacDermot, dead at 89: http://www.playbill.com/article/galt-macdermot-composer-of-hair-dead-at-89

Ah, turns out I have some information on that one, if it's the one I'm thinking of. I'll let others have a shot, while I look away.

I'd never have got it Deathers. Think it was still a live question, just taking Toast's suggestion up that we have more than one question running. In honour of you, I shall listen to the choon... And I think you should have another go.

*hurries off to my 1985 theme team possibles list*

Happy Birthday? I believe congratulations are in order. Correct.

Which early 1980s song was the charting follow up to the single released with a title the same as a thread on the forum? Edited.
