    The Deathlist Poker Tournament 2024

    Tokyo Rose deflowered! Well, I can't work it all out. All these clans and marriages, they baffle me! All I know is Yuriko, Princess Mikasa of Japan has died aged 101, picking up a Mail obit. Marrying one's second cousin might be a grand idea, but it's not for me, personally. Joe Moneypenny was the only player to pick the Big In Japan dame, and scores with a hit and also picks up a Black Joker bonus (more on that soon) and soars up the table, making many other players appear like serfs. Leaderboard updated.

    Band Aid

    If you scroll through Marilyn's recent Twitter/X feed, he's having a tough old time adjusting to his mother's death. Mentions of medication and the like. Of course, the DDP have previously named him as Peter Robinson, which is just confusing to me, but hey.

    Band Aid

    Certainly I had blanked out the 1989 version - until compiling my TOTP theme team list for next year. As I said, I don't see the purpose of this except perhaps doing an anniversary. There are great Christmas songs, there are very poor Christmas songs - the joy of the UK Charts over the decades. I'd call this a middling song. I detest Last Christmas with a vengeance - I despised it on its release and still do to this day. Oh and most stuff from Cliff.

    Band Aid

    They are bringing Do They Know It's Christmas? back. A remix of all three previous versions is to be released. Not sure the purpose of this, however, it does remind us all that this thread only caters for the original (and the OP is out of date @ebless!).

    The Deathlist Poker Tournament 2024

    June Spencer of Ye Olde BBC radio drama The Archers has been summoned out of life. The Road To Ambridge was littered with hits hither and thither. Dum te dum to dum te dum, as you will hum before retiring to bed. Those benefiting were Bibliogryphon, ladyfiona, TQR and Buffalo Phil. A bonus for hitting a pair of sixes (cricket being a favourite pasttime on the radio show) to Buffalo Phil for 10 additional points. Those leaving June languishing on the subs bench were Perhaps (drawing 10 Diamonds for 10 added points) and wannamaker (drawing Q Spades for 12 added points). Leaderboard updated and will be brought forward on the next hit.
