Boggle-eyed comedian Marty Feldman died today in 1982...

I already have a main team in as a matter of course. If I get round to it, I may scrabble together a theme team...

Love that orange glow!

We're open for business!

Yes. It seems it doesn't register as a unique pick if it's just the one word. If you look at the notes as well, the consistency is all over the place as regards the use of quotation marks and in what context etc (not a surprise when you've had 4 hosts with different approaches). I'm going to try and create a consistent style, but's its settling on one will be the tricky bit. Not sure about 'features' as such, but since it'll be the 15th anniversary in 2011 and a likely 1000th death. I'm sure I'll come up with something... If you run out of subs, tough tits...

Situationist Guy Debord died today in 1994...

Some chap called Archibald Leach died today in 1986...

Yep...

You would have be a bit unlucky if more than a couple of your picks snuff it before Dec 31. What I don't need is radical changes that will waste a bit of my time. I'm fairly flexible, I just don't need to be messed around that's all. I'm doing the inputting differently this year and will try avoid some of the frustrating errors in the data transfer which happened in 2009. I shall recieve each submission and then check out the spelling of names, who they are, whether the're still alive etc. All submissions will be compiled on an excel spreadsheet. Then in batches of 50 or so, I will cut and paste the teams into text files and then load them in. This will occur at the end of the year/beginning of 2011, so you will all recieve those confirmation emails at a later time if you are submitting earlier than Christmas week.
