"SPADE OUT" banners being waved by Deathlist ultras, ugly scenes.

Bit quiet in here.

Didn't think he'd lose a "first person who used to suck their own cock to entertain the boys in the dressing room to die" race to Virgil, but there you go.

National holiday for barely literate Nigerians with Casemiro avis on Twitter.

Ciara is still having top 20 singles, absolutely no way she dies and it doesn't get reported for 24 hours. He's talking about Jackie Murphy, who was (or is if she's not dead)  the former art director for Sony/Jive.

I allowed him as a pick as I think the chances of him being found in the next few days are slim-to-none, and the chances of him scoring any points are effectively zero. Same as I'd have allowed Jimmy Hoffa or Richey Edwards as picks.

Always surprised that Hans Blix never appeared on the DL, but again maybe he falls foul of the "nobody who found fame after 1992" rule.

OK every team but one in, and as they haven't posted since January 15th I think we may be seeing one bye. Got everything else formatted and ready to go, so I should have the teams and line-ups posted before work starts tomorrow morning GMT.

Nine-hour reminder to the six teams who haven't submitted yet. @MortalCaso @ladyfiona @diego @Il Magneto @Dying Probably @TheSpinosaurus

And it looks like we have a sponsor for the next round of the DL Cup: Paperchase falls into administration.

Just received a message from Hell that worked, weird. Edit: I know what the issue was. Try now, it'll work.

Try again?

Sorry about that, just deleted about 20 messages so you should be able to message me again.
