Quelle surprise...

To be fair he was only in the lead for just the six days last year. Needs more of a run at it this time round...

My first hit on the DDP! Where have those ten years gone?

We'll need to wait to see whether he dropped in '15 or '16. One team has him in the DDP...

It'll get BBC obit no probs...

Right, here we go again. First the Rules & Scoring:

Now, now, don't be bitter.... Anyway, here's the final update for 2015 which is officially closed off...

To misquote Brian Clough, a strong start is your forte but the finish is your speciality!

Comedian Dick Emery died today in 1983 aged 67...

Both Sally and Jason if they are dead have less than 12 hours to bag an obit or they"ll slip through the crack of deadpool time...

My message board has been cleared so's you know...

It seems to be the trend these days to reveal teams before the New Year deadline. In some respects it can be a shrewd tactic - show off your squad and say to the rest "here, beat that!" Whereas before it was much more cat and mouse...

Regional bbc pages (England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland) will no longer count as legit UK obits, so the above examples would not qualify, although the latter almost certainly got a legit obit elsewhere. UK overall however would, such as this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-33082773 Fair enough, you can legitimately describe Northern Ireland as a region, but England, Scotland and Wales! They are countries, to describe them as regions is retarded. OK they are not regions. Northern Ireland is a province, Wales a principality. And you are and always have been a snide, misanthropic cunt of no use or ornament to this forum...Now piss off.

Confirmed: http://www.theguardian.com/music/2015/dec/29/guru-josh-rave-star-dies-aged-51 No longer time for the Guru...

Latest update...

Either will do... I couldn't PM you, don't know if your box is full or if you've blocked me I've sent an e-mail anyway. Probably the former. I never clear it out!

I'm surprised Lemmy was picked by just the 1 team in 2015 as he was in a few for 2016. They had a better handle on his health than he did!

A better hit rate than in 2015...

Either will do...

Well, here we are at last! Let the games begin. I've noticed a few itchy fingers so here are the rules: Good luck everybody...

No dispute this time. Now its time to run the clock down, Spade and the hattrick is yours....

Funny coincidence as I think Dr Z's sentiments are similar to mine when Solksjaer knocked it in off his knee in 1999...

Interesting. You can see why these obits are getting canned from next yaer...

For now...
