First team head count is 540!

Yes, I remember that being early in the year...

I'm sure he did that out of spite. Rules are the rules though, no points for 2011...

Former Liverpool and Everton defender Gary Ablett has died aged 46...

Mucho wanto no no biggo stiffo whilo doingo ddpo this weeko...

Hugo Chavez (J) Robin Gibb Peter Gilmore Simon Hoggart General Jaruzelski Derek "Red Robbo" Robinson Jean-Claude Duvalier Nile Rodgers Michael Hurll (TV producer) Andy Green (World land speed record holder) Clive James Margaret Thatcher Dick Cheney John Freeman Stefano Borgonovo Abdelbaset Al Megrahi Jimmy Hill Leslie Phillips Sonia Gandhi Barry Hines Good luck in 2012...

Patti Andrews

If Etta James is still alive on 31st December 2012, there'll be a fair few pissed off deadpoolers, that's for sure!

I suppose technically you can do The Dead of 2012 as they are already into the new year in Australia etc...

So he was 'the man who turned down the Beatles'. What a fool I thought that was Dick Rowe?

...and he's only gone and bloody got it with hours to go! Well done to Gobbing on Life,,,

That's not bad considering that the press can be notoriously quiet about their own people's health, unless they blab about it like Sue Carroll did!

Less than 4 days to get an obit and it's worth 28 points!

That's another one seen off...

Merry Christmas everybody...

Indeed, Kim Jong-Il was at number 11 with 98 picks...

A proper British obit will see Gray Panthers re-take the lead of the Theme Team League by a single point...

As there are likely to be more theme teams than ever before, is there any chance of a separate scoreboard for them? That's all I'm entering and I'd much rather see myself up there in 43rd than down there in 443rd. What, like this? Yes. Exactly like that, without the SFA font. Mea culpa, mea caecus. Actually, the font is a swipe from the Human League

Prince Phillip in hospital...

I agree Van Lennep is a dodgy pick. I did have a look at Van Rossem, for reasons of being fat, a bloke, 68 and (for me) well known for his shouting "Vive la République d'Europe! Vive Lahaut!" at the coronation of Baudouin of Belgium. I wasn't aware of his F1 "carreer". I wonder if his death will be noted in the English speaking world. BTW, I have a few more candidates whom I won't discuss, as I have high hopes for unique picks. Oh, TMIB, if I choose the same pick on both my team and my theme team and nobody else does, it's not a unique pick, right? regards, Hein Er... yes. If team A is a normal team and B is a theme team from the same person, they're still different teams...

At this rate I'll still be loading teams in February...

Ooh, that must have hurt!

Yes, women don't like saying that...

Christ Alive! They're dropping like flies at the moment. I know, it's all go a the moment! 11 months without a hit and now three in four days and a decent chance of the DDP player of the month prize!
