wow. If there was ever a case to NOT link a qualifying DDP pick to a WIki entry then this is it.

Great work guys, amazing you got this all done in just over 2 weeks, That has to be a modern-day record.
So my unique hope didn't make it. Daniel Hersl is my incarcerated pick this year. I am hoping to make it 4 in a row.
2021 - Peter "Wiseguy, brother of John" Gotti
2022 - Russell "Babes in the Woods Killer" Bishop
2023 - Ted "Unabomber" Kaczynski
On the subject of Hersl. Try and give the crime drama mini-series "We Own This City" a watch. It tells the story of the rise and fall of the infamous Baltimore PD's GTTF (Gun Trace Task Force). Of which Hersl was a major player.

Ahh for gods sake. I made exactly the same mistake last year. Forgot to remove her from my possibles list.
Ah well. Andy Taylor comes. He's an outsider at best

I was worried about my Maxwell pick but I saw Spade and Pan Breed has picked him too. A bit more confident now.
Hersl hopefully is unique, but a QO is dodgy even if he does happen to cark it.

That is pretty formidable deadpooling. Best I've seen in my 18 years.

Crumble-Meister
I am seriously impressed you managed to pick 58/60 unique.
Torben Ulrich and Polly Perkins the only pair letting you down.
In your honor, I may submit a cake & dessert-based theme team for next year. Perhaps called "I can't go back to savory now "
After a very quick recon mission, the first on the list will be Tony "The Viper" Eccles. Darts player and convicted nonce.

Other than Frank McGarvey LOL

I imagine there were teams already submitted that included all of Pope, Babs Walters and Pele.
If another of their low hanging fruit falls off the tree before midnight, I wonder if they will be give a 4th sub?
-
Ok, team "Going Underground" submitted for my 17th attempt at this ace game. About 16 hours earlier than usual this year.
Now I sit and wait until around about this time tomorrow, when it becomes evidently clear I have yet again missed a Gary Burgess type open goal sitter.
Thanks in advance for all the effort I know goes into running this thing.

Bloody Hell. Didn't realize Natty Wailer left us a few weeks ago.
Although a minor part of Bob Marley's legacy I'm really surprised he didn't get some kind of UK obit. Ah well. Wouldn't be the same without one of my lads making the "List of the lost"

1 hour ago, Death Impends said:It's how you hang the people who really deserve it, IMO. Just factually state their life without much editorial commentary to give the "he was a cunt" bit all the more sting.
Will shamelessly admit to nicking that motif from some of msc's past obits (I remember Phil Spector and Larry Flynt having that same general "he was very important in his field. he was also a cunt" line) but some gags are too effective not to recycle!
Bravo. You're the only DI I've ever had any time for.
I sincerely hope David Duckenfield is afforded the same DDP coppers send off and I'm around to read it.

Surely it's Sidney Cooke's year too?
Unless the old nonce is immortal.

ah fuck there goes Mike Mora too
Hello Tony Jacklin

13 minutes ago, The Old Crem said:Pretty sure going by earlier posts Amy Price will be DQ.
Ah well... so be it. Think I've got Merlin, the first dates barman guy as my first sub
Although Amy Price mother was known to the public before she got "ill". Not opening a can of worms as the organizers have enough to deal with. It is what it is

Ok here we go for year 17
Seems like I've missed a sitter in Gary Burgess but who knows.

Im still annoyed Derek Draper didn’t even make Drop 40. Tracey Emin was always a bad pick.Trace was on Newsnight last night. Always strikes me as someone with the weight of the world on her shoulders and could flip anytime.

I only changed my avatar pic to Pete Gotti the other day.
I feel strangely guilty.

If the Olympic games goes ahead in the summer we might be in luck and he gets a mention somewhere.

Congrats Reppers. (Can I call you that?)
You pissed it, in the end.

I'm actually glad Julian Fiano is an ineligible pick
That means I get Peter Gotti as my first sub (hopefully)
Always like at least one bad-ass Wiseguy in my team.
