Anyway, away frm the recent controversy and on to toe next in our list of The Dying of 2010 And at Number 7 it's... Ariel Sharon The famously comatose ex-Irsraeli PM remains a popular choice and moves up from 9 to 7 from last year even though he's been chosen by slightly less. Four years prone, will he hang on for another year?

This puts me in a bit of a spot, I shall have to sleep on this...

You think? It's all gone a bit farcical today. I decided to open up the entries a little longer (don't ask me why, caprice I think) and I get two emails crammed with my uniques! Funny they zeroed in on my picks. But's that's better than them taking other people's uniques I suppose... ...which is why I've decided...to withdraw my team. I feel compromised putting in my own team and was uncomfortable with the idea that it might win (it probably won't but you never know). So for this year at least I'm going to be host and host only. So those two 'lucky loser' teams will have between them 7 uniques of my chosing.... I can give you a late entry on the NDP, if you want? Because you gave me the space to change my DDP entry after I had send him in. Why thanks Vaagheid. I was so busy with DDP I didn't have time to think up a team for the NDP... I'll read the rules and send in a team pronto, shall I PM you? (Oh and I won't look at anyone's teams!)

Some have but they're not any of the 'biggies'... I don't know what's happened to some of the contenders from last year. Godot we all know about. He has retired from dead pools and the like. Ethnic Cleansing, Heaven Knows, No Noose also no shows... Still, opens things up, doesn't it? I should think "Scottish Squid Bricklaying Alamo Volunteers" is one of us... I'm sure Godot is still taking part, TMIB Actually, I think Ethnic Cleansing will be in DDP 2010 as I've uncovered another couple of emails. They were late, but within my absolute deadline of 11am 01/01... Deathlist will be there too, as there is a 'gentlemans' agreement... In fact, bollocks to it, deadline or no deadline, I'm going to put in the ones who came in after 01/01 as well, because I have knickers in a twist over this one... Spead the word, I'm open to entries until midnight tonight. After that, then definitely, definitely no more.... Twelvetrees...yer in! Right that is that. I'm entering no more teams....

That's a bit odd. I've checked the database and it seems OK. It might work when I've re-generated the pages, which I'll need to with all the extra teams/best positions/ corrections stuff which I have to add. In fact, for a brief period while my entry curfew is lifted, I'm going to take the pages down again, in case anyone has a sneaky peak while making up teams....

I can't take the credit for that...but there are some smashing new write-ups from me as there a lot of new celebs...

Yes but the Outlook server is doing it's usual thing of not sending it out! Later on I'll copy the message and send it through Yahoo, but first, I must add another team which I over looked in the loading process *sigh*...

I have to say I was surprised to find 7 uniques in my team - I would have assumed that Snowdon, Holm and Hoggart would have picked by others, but there you have it...

Just my little joke, Lard on account of you often writing off your chances.. Takes a bit of time updating 465 teams y'know...

I dont know what happened, somehow one of the teams didnt enter! To make it worse, it was the better one! What were names of the teams and when did you send the email?

Terry-Thomas died 20 years ago today...

Well his career might have done... I don't want to give too much away before the big reveal (sometime tonight folks!) In the meantime, let's revisit The Dying of 2010 - the top ten deadpooling candidates as chosen by the great unwashed: And at Number 8 is... Billy Graham Wherein lies your answer as for who as taken the title of 'Must Die' for 2010...

Right, make that two deaths to start the year! Just a couple of tweaks (well, probably more than that) and then hopefully, we should be up and running by tomorrow night...

DDP 2010 should be on it's way in the next 24 hours or so. Just tidying up a few database issues.. In the meantime I'll continue the countdown with the ten most popular picks.. The Dying of 2010 And at number 9 it's... Elizabeth Taylor A similar pattern in terms of failed marriages, but a somewhat more illustrious career in acting than Ms Gabor. Nevertheless, the one thing they really have in common is that a lot of people think they're going to croak it this year...

Excellent. I wonder if you'll have it up by the 7th? On Zsa Zsa Gabor: I think she'll keep Von Anhalt married for a while. Should think so. Mind you I have a little problem generating the pages which I've just emailed Octopus about. Hopefully it'll be a minor problem...

Yes, I thought it was a bit presumptious meself....

464 teams are loaded and almost ready to play. The big reveal is almost at hand... The Dying of 2010 are the ten most popular DDP picks and we start off with Number 10 who is... Zsa Zsa Gabor The Hungarian, multi-married mistress turns 93 in just a few weeks, so plenty of time to get another wedding in!

No he wasn't...

We're starting to get it here in the Midlands...

King Edward the Confessor, died today in 1066...

She's no unique pick, Or at least she could be for someone else, DDT...

That's two Daly's in a week, it's a not a job lot is it? (Hopefully death don't come in 3's as I have an uncle with that surname...)
