You've got a twin team competing with you this year... I'm also fairly sure that there's another noticable absence from this year's DDP. A former host..

This bloke...

Should get an obit and it will be the second DDP hit of 2011...

Well, from what I've been looking at so far, it could be that Mr Postlethwaite may be a unique pick, but I can't confirm yet as I still have over 300 teams to process. Gmail is a git an' all. It seems to tag loads of seemingly unconnected emails together, so I have to pick through each of them to see each individual email within... Since you are one of the contenders, you could emulate what a couple of winners have done in the past, first hit then win the thing! Incidentially, looks like we have a major absentee in this year's DDP, unless his email has fallen down the back of the armchair... Not Football Fan? Banshees? Let's just say, he's a former champion..

That's a shock. I didn't even know he was ill. Great actor. Can anyone remember a series he was in in the 1980s called The Tales of Sherwood Forest? Strange show that was...

Also, if I could discreetly slip this in your question queue... because Im sure youre very busy and I dont want to bother you MiB, but I didnt get a confirmation for my main team. I got one for my theme team, so I guess its alright? I just wanna be sure. Yes.

Yes, 159 puns takes up a lot of thinking time. Great fun mind... :-)

Hello everyone. I've got a daunting amount of entries to load in over the next week as I didn't get enough time to really work on it during the Christmas period. Hopefully my team this year will improve on a poor 116th place: Christopher Hitchens (Joker) Stefano Borgonovo Michael Douglas Ariel Sharon Kim Jong-Il Paul Virilio (French thinker) Zohra Segal (Indian actress) Judith Kerr (Mog author/ widow of Nigel Kneale) Reginald Turnill (BBC Space age reporter) Geoff Strong (Liverpool player, now has Alzheimer's) James Prior David Bailey (I thought he looked worse than Brian Duffy in that documentary last year..) Mick Karn Dick Cheney Boris Spassky Harlan Ellison Robert Mugabe Margaret Thatcher Donald Neilson Anthony Armstrong-Jones Good luck everyone

Yes. Well done OoO. I was going to text you but I lost my mobile a couple of weeks ago. All hail the DDP 2010 champion!

A decent list although Hitchens is a miss. Still, leaves the path clear for me punwise... ;-)

They have untill 11am GMT 1st January (Midnight at Midway!) and even then, I'll have to be in a good mood to let them in Of course, Deathlist automatically enter their team at the stroke of midnight with the top twenty of tonights 50 syphoned off...

I'm pretty sure my team will do pretty pants this year - not that this years team was a raging success. I was thinking about entering a theme team, but was unsure if there was a specific way of entering. Same method as your regular team, but let TMIB know its a theme team - at least thats what I did! Yes, let me know if you are entering a theme team as I'm devising a spin off league in 2011. The teams will still be part of the overall picture, but there will be a page devoted to theme teams... I'm putting you all in the picture as to the next few days: Next email will come on January 2nd or so to close off 2010 and reveal the winner (OoO is crossing fingers!) Don't expect anything out of me for another week as I'll be piling through the entries. Not sure if there'll be a record year but with 24 hours to go, the signs are that there'll be as many. So I have a lot of work to do in the next 10 days. I haven't had as much time as I did last year so I have a lot to do, so no "when's the lists coming up" business on something like January 4th! But by 'eck there are some interesting picks, where do you all get them from? In the meantime, have a Happy New Year!

Time to go Roy, time to go...

Funny that. You did at one point. I bet Paul Smith never gets this shirty...

Well, it'll be hardly there, wouldn't it?

I don't think you're alone in your theory. Does anyone else find the dad a bit creepy or is that just me? He was quite keen to be 'relieved' that they found her body. I think it might be the acquaintance theory. We all have secrets. And its funny all this has happened while the cat was away...

http://www.deathlist.net/forums/index.php?...ic=2487&hl= Silly me, fancy not spotting a thread that hasn't been accessed for 2 years. I did search but with 66quintillion posters quoting RA's list in its entirety, I'm afraid I never got beyond the "Unexpected Deaths of 2010" thread. Sorry n all that. It's almost always some sneaky bastard 'guest' from pedantsville that points it out as well. If they're such fucking experts on the forum, why don't they show themselves? Advice for moderators/admin - restrict the search function to signed up members. That'll learn the cunts.

Former Venezuela president Carlos Perez died on Christmas Day aged 88. He was a miss, having been picked in 2009...

Let's pray for him.... ....to enter the pearly gates! No Dick can be a dick like Dick Cheney is. He wont be heading for the pearly gates, he'll be heading south...

Wish it'd been Waddell and the tongue had to go, can't stand the bloke. The ultimate Marmite commentator, along with Alan Green (who I also can't stand). Thinking about it, nobody likes Alan Green do they. Freddie Flintoff was guest commentating on the darts yesterday. Enthusiastic, but pretty shit. Can't wait to hear Phil "The Power" Taylor on TMS then...

I still haven't got my invitation yet. Have a look in your junk mail. Your email was in the same batch as mine and I received it. I've re-sent yesterday's email to the same batch so keep your eyes peeled... Okay, i've entered my team, but i still haven't got the full confirmation yet. You might have a bit of a problem. I sent an email confirming I had recieved your entry on 19th December and another confirming your team the next day... (Don't worry, yer in!) Thanks, TMIB. Actually it is my problem after all. That bastard Outlook outgoing emails aren't working I've decided to set up a gmail DDP account and will re-send the emails, which will boounce into the outbox and go NOWHERE! From there, I will cut 'n' paste into gmail emails...

Yes.

I didn't receive one, although I often forget to submit an entry What is your team name?
