    DDP 2018 Town Hall

    Bit unfair, ha ha! I'll put forward Diane Torr as an example. There seemed to be some debate for days about whether the death occurred on the 31st or the 1st. On the website it was the 31st. Once a formal obit was forthcoming, that was confirmed. So if say Clive James dies overnight on New Year's Eve, you may have blood letting on your hands!

    DDP 2018 Town Hall

    On death notices, it really is going to affect deaths toward the end of the year of some of the more esoteric picks. While they may gain a death notice, the obituary may follow some days later over the festive. As there is a pretty sharp cut off for the DDP and light of this change, I'd suggest extending the period for winding up the DDP by about a week.

    DDP 2018 Town Hall

    As I recall, Kathleen Fryer and Douglas Reeman got pretty swift death notices, but eventually got a full Telegraph and Times Obituary respectively in due course. Perham got a full Telegraph obit. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/2017/04/19/right-reverend-michael-perham-bishop-gloucester-obituary/

    The Grammy Dead Pool

    Fair dos. I, on the other hand, am not restricted by the simple fact that musicians might be ill or indeed dying. As is evidenced by my more general "I'll be sorry to see them go" or "Thank god they've gone" picks for other pools. Literally thousands of artists to choose from, so why not have a laugh with this one? I'll post a team soon.

    And the Deathlist Poker Tournament, and the Hare's Pool! (). Hey, I don't think there's a rule saying you have to post on the thread before the deadline. Why don't we agree that entries be PM'ed to ZZL? ZZL can then let us know if any of our picks don't qualify, then a masterlist can be produced shortly after the entry deadline. Assuming ZZL is cool with that of course.

    You mean we have to have a favourite? I'll pick Ennio Morricone, then. Gawd bless him.

    The Hare's Death Pool

    So Shaun Of The Dead dropped June Foray from his 2016 team and drol only had her as a reserve. She's a swing and a miss for this pool.

    The Grammy Dead Pool

    What counts as a qualifying obit? DDP rules or other? Also, do your picks have to be unique, i.e. if they have already been picked you can't pick them? In that case we'd need to know your subs. If not, hey everyone's fair game....

    The Fringes Of Fame/family Of The Famous

    Browsing the DDP (as you do) and came across the entry for Teresa Mills, the birth mother of Jamie Baulch. Now in an article in Wales Online http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/i-think-whole-wales-crying-8324235 she was alternatively named Teresa Patey. So I went off on a search and discovered she died in September 2016. https://www.gofundme.com/2rx8tq55 Pic with JB included.

    Donald J Trump

    No transgender in the US Military. Do you think he grabbed someone by the testicles by mistake and never got over it?

    So .. What Do You Watch On TV?

    OldWillz does like watching old show re-runs on the telly. If he's seen every Columbo at least 10 times, that might be an understatement. Anyway, he's into Quincy at the moment. Klugman as the main character does do an awful lot of shouting and arguing I've noticed, even with his colleagues. They couldn't fire him though, his name was in the title.

    Donald J Trump

    Interesting point. Given they are watching every butt kissing loyal Trumpist being hung out to dry every 5 minutes, that has to stick, surely? Spicey gone, Sessions on the verge, Flynn gone....he'd sell Barron to a Thai boy brothel if it meant he'd stay in power, grabbing some sweet intern pussy.... I'm just guessing...
