Gone for Kirk Douglas. Still won't get this...

@Phantom of the Midway The YoungWillz Numerical Necromancy Team 2018 has been sent to you by PM. Hope you got this ok.

Nope. Close this thread. Another bloody Tory pseudonym, another bloody load of hard work...fuck them.

It's Seany's show, do do do do..... Huzzah for the young fellow...

He was another on my Deathrace team rather than this. I'll look over the entries and do the necessary towards the next update...

Nup, struck out again ha!

King Michael takes me to 12 out of 50 for 2017. Looking forward to participating next year, still getting my team together...

Another hit for my main DDP team. I was so sure he'd go, he's not on any of my draft lists so far. Let the succession battle commence...

Right so Phantom of the Midway ... I tried to PM you my team but it says you can't receive messages, so your inbox is probably full? @Phantom of the Midway

Bunny May, aged 77, supporting actor known for most UK sitcoms including Butterflies, Some Mothers Do Have 'Em, Duty Free, The Liver Birds, etc etc. http://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/deaths/219445/bunny-may Also played Jim Pickup in Coronation Street and a couple of roles in Emergency Ward 10 in the 60s.

Death Impends extends his lead and looks more presidential than John Anderson ever did. No bonuses, leaderboard updated.

NI will become the EU's back door to the UK. The DUP really are insane - yes we must leave, we must have the same as the UK (forget abortion, etc) but no border. We shall see goods and people coming in via Eire. Unless Tezza institutes border checks on the mainland. It is time to

Gotta be a caption competition for that one!

Nice of Xbox to invite me to join the Old Age Gamers Club. So I can rage about the days of Pong?

They are only after an extra Christmas present, which could be chlamydia...I say stay out of it...

Added in as discussed. Keep 'em coming, playas...

Cheers, it's been fun. And hey, this is not over for anyone...I'd say 8 hits without reply and I storm to the top....

So started drafting my 1982 Top of the Pops theme team. Without looking up health issues or searching at all, I have 12 definites already! So I need to find another 8 plus subs to make up my team. Might not be such a chore after all...

I think the above is becoming pertinent. I think the opening for entries for next year normally happens around this week. I'm finalising my teams and would like to get them in before the festive. Not terribly urgent for me (I normally punt the teams in around mid-December) but if folk like Phantom of the Midway are off on holiday or away, the situation might be a little more keen, especially if there are to be changes to the rules. Anyway, good luck to TMIB in his last few weeks and to Spade who has to deal with the forthcoming deluge....

I remember picking Peter Hall for this last year...so off the radar, blah blah blah. Although I didn't win, suddenly he appeared on a host of DP teams...and did go within the year. Newhart is just a feeling (cue Bad Manners post), just like Hall was last year. But who knows? I'm not out to win, I'm out to see what happens...
