    DL Prediction Game

    I'm up to 9 hits after Peter Hall's demise. Might outperform last year's total of 11/50 at this rate.

    Derby Dead Pool 2017

    Ain't my job. Voluntary. Reason I started doing it was because some deaths were being missed and having to be caught up on, even though they had been reported. Death reports imo go in the main forum, not here (unless the person has been quoted elsewhere, like extra-curricular, had to do that a couple of times myself). There is always a suitable thread - Dead of 2017 for this year. List of the Missed can go here after being reported in main forum, preferable since I don't cover those. If someone does want to take this task on, I'm more than content to give it up. I do ask myself what the point is sometimes, every time a death gets reported here... Anyway, tis just a peeve, no problems, blah blah blah..

    A Joke

    A friend died at sea. It took us ages to put him together. His head was in the wrong shark, his legs were in the wrong whale, his hair was even in the wrong mullet! Ah well, at least his heart was in the right plaice...

    I'll need another birthday present like Arnold Palmer last year to haul me out of the play off zone... Or maybe another ten would be nice, I don't mind...

    Not much of a change to the above with only one hit in the last fortnight. But...as David Essex once sang - The nights are colder now....
