    About 23 years longer than he expected... A tidbit that may or may not interest you - Supermac was technically the first DL success. He was chosen for the 1987 list (and was my 'Nap of the Year' ), but fell just two days short of eligibility. He wasn't replaced, as that kind of thing didn't happen in days of yore. So the number of candidates have been rounded up to, er....32?

    Very nearly costing me DDP victory - luckily for me he couldn't hold out that extra few hours which would have got him Christmas bonus points and left me in second place. Tut tut tut, self, self, self and at this time of year an' all....

    "You know what a diddler is don't yer?" Jack Douglas died on December 18th 2008 and now Marianne Stone on December 21st 2009. Will Carry On deaths become the new Christmas tradition?

    Brittany Murphy

    So basically, hardly anyone's heard of her despite being in loads of films. Conclusion: She didn't exactly exude 'star quality' - a Michelle Pfeiffer/Kim Basinger she aint.. ..no wonder her career went down the tubes...

    What is this DDP game you play? How can I get in for 2010?? See The Derby Dead Pool and there'll also be a thread or two around here discussing things DDP-related. The time's fast approaching to get your entry in though, so get your skates on. Just remember that its just UK obits. He's got it...

    The Dead Of 2009

    He was a serious consideration for my DDP2009 team, although I didn't really consider him for DDP2010. Perhaps I knew he was a goner and it would be too late...
