    Long shot:

    Danny Baker - been off his daily Radio London afternoon show for the last few weeks. Came back this afternoon and said that he has been sick and will have a patchwork quilt of appearances over the next year. Christian O'Connell has been asked to take over his Saturday morning Radio 5Live show until Christmas.

     

    Whatever he has, it's long term.

    Entering my 5th year in DDP and still trying to break the top 40. It may just have happened last year if the pesky Daily Mail would have followed up the Joanne Evans cancer story with her death. No amount of obituary request letters i sent managed to change their mind.

     

    Wow, you and me both. She was my joker. 'twas a bad year :(

    Gutted to see that link. There was a different interview where he and his wife seemed to suggest he was in his last few weeks. Anyway, whenever you go Simon, I will never forget you in that bizarre 80's show Manimal. Good times :)

    And very very very late is was too!! 11:57pm is when I got the email...

     

    lol - yeah, bloody family stuff got in the way - can't they get their priorities right? Anyway, was so short of time that I was contemplating not entering, but I've been doing it for five consecutive years I think, so quickly threw in names 14-20 and hit send. Therefore this is going to be a poor year I think.

    I look like finishing 15th in the deadpool this year with 14 hits - a good result (though I missed my joker Joanne Evans who didn't get an obit). The leader has 12 hits at the moment, so although I agree with rewarding younger picks, the random additional points annoy me - dying on the 13th, unnatural, etc.
