It's probably because I've used an older version of the HTML editor which has unique hits scoring 1 point. Well spotted!

When did you sent it?

Oh bollocks, I knew there'd be one... Edit: You're up now, Vinegar, you can breathe again!

The Teams are Up! The emails to follow shortly...

Not such a good willy...

This is a pretty major one, that appears to have slipped under the radar. Did anyone have her on their list? No...

Just 6 more to do. It's been a 'mare I can tell you. Virgin Media have given the elbow, 3G in its place.. Next time, I'm going to get a couple more days off over the festive period. Funnily enough there less teams (467) this year but loads more celebs thanks to a phalanx of theme teams, over 50 this time....

Protest too much?

Dead. That's DDP hit number 7...

Folks, there will be a delay in the publishing of the teams until Thursday at the earliest due to problems with my ISP.

The King is back!

Would be a 6th DDP hit in 5 days if the right obit comes up...

Not sure at this stage. Could be a miss..

That'll do, Dick. That'll do. Bloody hell, this is relentless. 5 DDP hits in 5 days. What start!

Come in Mr. Hughton, your time is now...

2 hits already! Early lead Vinegar Tits, just 360 days to hang on... Oh this is getting ridiculous. That's going to ramp up the pressure on me getting the list of teams up! I spent best part of three hours wrestling with a German-speaking theme team! On the plus side it's an overdue hit for yours truly! Sorry about that. If it makes you feel any better, Eva Strittmatter whom I rejected at the last minute has just died oh and my other idea for a theme team was people named checked in song and Anne Francis would have been one of them. It's not yours. It's another German-speaking theme team. I haven't got round to yours yet...

Same here. But in my defense, I had never heard of him. He was one of Scotland's most successful songwriters. I suppose you're too young to remember him...

There's a slight difference between the two teams. You're still the original though...

Was only thinking of Baker Street today an' all. Mind you, Baker Street has been stuck somewhere in my head since I was 2 years old...and It'll never leave. RIP Gerry What a cracking start to DDP 2011 we have already. 3 deaths in 3 days! Right, back to work...

How do you mean MIB? Someone has got nearly the same picks as me? Surely all 20 cant be duplicated in one team. The odds on that !!!! Thought my mates could be winding me up but i didnt reveal my picks to them until after the deadline. Nah. Same name.

Deserves a posthumous knighthood for keeping previously thought missing episodes of Hancock's Half Hour and some audio recordings of Not Only But Also...and goodness what else. Fascinating documentary.

Say it 'aint so...
