He also updated it a few posts later

He probably would have had the news not come so late in the year.

Thank you for doubling down on your stupidity You may be a little on the older side so your cognition may not be what it used to be so I'll spell it out for ya Step 1: go to the page where you'd be able to see all picks Step 2: do as I previously mentioned Step 3: Ta-da! And since I'm in such a good mood (and since Spade doesn't seem to have much issue with it) here's the link http://www.derbydeadpool.co.uk/deadpool2019/teams.html

Doesn't take a genius to change a single character in a web address

Well, remains to be seen

I guess it's time to post my main team Banana's Peel Slippers George Alagiah Fatima Ali John Andretti Bruce Anstey Sonali Bendre Kathleen Blanco Leah Bracknell Billy Clayton Noel Conway Christy Dignam Tony Drewitt-Barlow (given 18 months to live 9 months ago) *correction: 11 months ago Darren Easton Natasha England (somehow ended up being a unique pick, has "year-to-live" with terminal cancer) DeWayne Johnson Lee Kerslake Steffan Lewis (obit punt) Manohar Parrikar (obit punt) Fernando Ricksen Arash Sadeghi Marieke Vervoort Made some pretty bad decisions that I'm disappointed in myself with, mainly not including Andrew Fairlie. I focused more-so on him having battled the cancer since 2005 so felt that he could still probably last year, but missed the fact that he ceased treatment. Also thought he was too obscure to be D40, but I guess not. Huge miss on my part.

Well I guess I'll make a team assuming the rules are reverted back Niki Lauda Edmund Capon Jacci Woodcock Fernando Ricksen Johann Rehbogen

That seems plausible and possible.

Making it a requirement that picks must have a Wikipedia page COMPLETELY changes the rules of the game and isn’t a suitable solution. Also @Spade_Cooley, I do believe £400 would be an achievable goal for a fundraiser and I do also believe such a change would drastically reduce the stress of running the game. Could also put a donation advert on the homepage of the site for the meantime. I’d pledge 20 loonies along with Pedro’s British coin to get it rolling and I do I would assume there’s be many others who are also willing as well.

Francis Byrne is a hit for Death Impends & GC. 363 pts.

I still don't understand how a fall is unnatural. The cause of a fall would be from weakness and/or failing balance. It's not unnatural for a 96-year-old or whatever to die from a fall when the direct cause for the fall is natural.

I’m in

Upon second glance, I made a great mistake

If you’re referring to Ian Stewart, the Australia Rules Footballer you may want a double check on that as he was accepted for me

Look I know, Hulka knows. This was my first time joining and I was trying to get an idea to see who would be accepted or not. I’d rather not not include someone who may have been accepted and you could argue that these people are nobodies but some of them did have notability at the national level. You could at least argue for some of these that they would be acceptable and I do understand that I probably should have strayed from sending in the famous for dying types, that was my error and I’m sorry if that offended you.

My full list of rejected picks (* - denoted as having a wiki page) Juliet Ace * Fatima Ali Gerard Basset * Spencer Bohren * Jim Button Beth Chapman Billy Clayton Noel Conway Keith Cullen Steve Davis Louise Downing Tony Drewitt-Barlow Glenn Fabry * Andrew Fairlie * Hayato Fujita * Anne Graham Lotz * Bill Heine * Jamil Jivani * DeWayne Johnson * Steffan Lewis * Wade MacLeod * Anne Parsons Vicky Phelan Princess Christina (of the Netherlands) Arash Sadeghi * Stephen Schulman Jimmy Spicer * Julie Strain * Thuy Thanh Truong * Marieke Vervoort * Catherine Wreford *

He was literally less than an hour away from dying in 2019 GMT

I had a literal princess that wasn’t accepted

Being reported as dead, but his son is denying the rumours
