eejit

I know, I shouldn't have believed the early hype though. My mother is going to be devastated now.

Can't be bothered going to the NOTW site or listening to Goody. Can you give us a "yay" or "nay" summation from what you saw?

I'm so nervous that I can't eat or sleep. Raskolnikov has a fantastic team, so I think that my moment in the spotlight may be already over.

hmmm, don't see his name in yonder list.

His iDeath isn't far away.

BELIEVE me, if there is one thing that deadpool players know, it is that Welcome though, sign up and post away.

Swayze

She may have been an "unknown local woman" to you, but to many of us she was the new Queen of Hearts. God bless you Joanne! *sniffs*

Sir Dai Llewellyn was picked by quite a few. I was pretty confident in my selections this year, but 4 hits by Jan 13th?

Well, even if her body doesn't, you are right - her name will live forever. Much in the same way that Genghis Khan's has.

Good on Bill, he was a generous soul. Swayze is looking good to make a fourth hit in Jan if he reprises his role in Ghost.

Here is my team: Henry Allingham Patriarch Pavle Alfonso Antoniozzi Wendy Richard Susan Atkins Bobby Robson James Bevel Bill Stone Fidel Castro Nyanasamvara Suvaddhana Maria de Jesus Patrick Swayze Joanne Evans * joker Tomoji Tanabe Ted Kennedy John Tate Dai Llewellyn Nicholas Winton Robert Novak Norman Wisdom I feel confident in only 12 of them and the rest are just old. Last year I had 7 hits by June, then only one more for the rest of the year

How does that work then? Obviously Google are scum - but they do have some cool tools and this is just one of them: http://www.google.com/alerts Here is a snippet of mine. You can customize your alerts to come from just news stories, blogs, newsgroups, or anywhere. I almost got the champagne out of the fridge in error last week when I got multiple alerts regarding my "Margaret Thatcher dies" alert. It was due to this kind of report: "Sir Alan Walters, key economic adviser to former British PM Margaret Thatcher, dies at 82" Never mind, one day it'll be true.

I even have a Google Alert set to email me the moment anything get's posted about Joanne Evans anywhere in the world

yes, very good

If she ends up with anything amputated then "Are you being severed?" is waiting in the wings.

The media are scum, virtually every daily in Britain was all over her back in October and not one of the pricks can be bothered to let the nation know that she has now passed away.

Looks like he's entering endgame now all right. You have to wonder if God will checkmate before Swayze's new show airs on the 15th.

We've had the Plymouth Evening Herald as listed earlier. Now she's in the dizzy heights of The Cornish Times Can only be a matter of time before it's a front page of The Times with a black border.

Yes, frantically searching the major media, nothing showing up. Just about to email the news desks of various papers - is that cheating?

Bloody Hell, that was a good start Thanks for adding me MPFC, I totally missed this thread. Should we get double points for jokers in this game too? I wonder if it's too weighted to someone with an early joker hit. If that is the consensus, then I'd be happy to have some points removed - perhaps only 50/100 point bonus for a joker success? Dunno...

Yay!, the pages are being populated. Some people on 9 points already

Gutted that I didn't put him in my team this year. The statement released today has just made me even more suspicious.

Thanks for that link DDT, that is a truly remarkable read

That is fantastic Godot, more proof that we have too much time on our hands these days.
