Steve

Many many congratulations on the birth of your son and his continued growth. I hope your wife continues to recover well and you forever stay a healthy happy close family unit.

I thought the DDP total last year was 312? So if we are at hit 297 surely there are only 16 hits to go.

Sorry @msc I must have skimmed past that post. Yes good choices.

@msc you normally have sone good ideas, fancy sharing? I am going suggest Ricky Tomlinson. 86 next year and has always looked unhealthy and a heart attack waiting to happen.

I hope @Ulitzer95 provides a list of suggestions as I think they will be excellent choices.

I am going make a case for Richard Wilson to be added due to heart issues in the past.

Thank you so much for hosting this pool this year @arghton.

Even I am now starting to feel depressed about these miracles after miracles.

Please accept my sincerest condolences @drol. May she finally have found peace after such terrible health battles.

Please let Le Pen be the 17th hit.

Congratulations @DoorSlammer for Ursula Haverbeck I believe.

I really hope @Pop_Zeus and @Hell return again to this forum in the not too distant future. I appreciated their contributions and miss them.

Here's hoping @Bibliogryphon will run a 20/20+5 edition of this pool of course.

Many condolences on your loss @Gisooo. Remember you have plenty of friends on here who thinks really highly of you including myself so we will support and comfort you anyway we can my good friend.

@Summer in Transylvania I have just been reading about Alan K. Simpson and it would appear he was born in 1931 instead of 1930.

I echo you @DCI Frank Burnside please please please let this be his time.

Congrats to @WEP for Roy Haynes

Thanks @Summer in Transylvania. Yes he his a cert to stay on imho.

I'm assuming @dimreaper that Tebbit is the one in the wheelchair/scooter? If so he his definitely a must to keep on the 2025 list as he looks awful and looks like it's a miracle he his still alive.

@Summer in Transylvania when I saw you had posted you really had my hopes up for a moment there.

I believe that the DDP 2024 has now moved into the silver placed position with 281 hits.

Oh and of course @gcreptile must be included in this too!

May I just say @Gisooo I am so thrilled you are staying with us and posting. Hope you are here for a long time to come as your postings are a joy to read. Like @arghton, @drol and @Ulitzer95 you provide so much detailed research and help the rest of us on this forum to learn so much.

Many more vacations to come for @Gooseberry Crumble senior I am sure!
