    Just from the DDP thread alone it looks like Trintignant, Blanco, Alagiah and Kerslake all have Drop 40 potential.

     

    I am sure that Trintignant ja Kerslake are in D40, probably Alagiah too, but doubts with Blanco.

    Thanks for the kind messages.  There was certainly a good deal of luck involved primarily with avoiding Marieke Vervoort.  If I had seen one particular story I would've selected her as my joker with all the others. Being Australian was no disadvantage, the Jessica Falkholt tragedy was front page news in the lead-up to new year's and Vanessa Goodwin was a tap in.

     

    Of course it was the selection of SKS as joker which gave me the advantage. At some times during the year I thought this was a master stroke at others a mistake, but come about April it looked like bad news for him. I was saddened by his death, he seemed like he had a lot of good in him. I was also surprised and saddened by the death of Simon Ricketts, his Twitter feed showed that his good humour lasted till the end. 

     

    I never thought I was much of a chance of winning until Spade posted that he considered Pity Da Foolz favourite assuming Vervoort decided to live (and so it proved). Mrs T is busy bragging to her friends about her husband's achievement and only 95% of it is tongue in cheek. I have entered PDF again for 2019 but while I expect to be vaguely competitive I have included a couple of somewhat left field local picks which will give me a bit of difference to the other contenders. 

     

    Thanks to Spade for all his hard work during the year (especially the very frequent updates). My mind boggles at how long it must take to keep it all running.  Perhaps I should also thank him for not entering DQSP which obviously makes it that much easier to win. 

     

    Good luck to all for DDP2019.

     

    Cheers Dr T

    Fair enough. In Estonia we have the same kind of restaurants. But they are called Diner here.
