Weird, considering your DDP line-up I thought you'd be pretty handy at copy-pasting stuff other people have already done.

Little joke for the young'uns there.

People talk about his radical poetry of the 1960s that fused the Beat Generation with black militancy, but I'll always remember Ameri best for his R&B smash hit "1 Thing".

He'll be back threatening women at gunpoint and being complicit in drug rapes before you know it.

Four uniques. Surprised nobody else went with Yosra El-Essawy, glad I was able to be the only ones to bag Chen Ziming and Marlise Munoz.

Word around the Twitter campfire is that, tonight, Baraka is spinning around dazed as the words "FINISH HIM" flash above his head.

Plus it means I can usually find at least one Pointless answer if it's a category I know something about. Nothing more annoying than watching two guys on screen blankly staring at Alexander Armstrong while you're shouting "George Burley you fucking idiots" over and over.

Never got the joy of being proud that you're ignorant of anything, tbh. I mean, I have fuck all interest in, say, the politics of Central America or professional squash or modern country music, but I still know who Daniel Ortega, Jahangir Khan and Jason Aldean are.

Well you've spelled "Ian MacNeice" wrong for one.

Trestin Meacham is on hunger strike until gay marriage is outlawed in the state of Utah. Good idea, get his weight down from chubby papa bear mode and reinvent himself as a lithe power bottom twink.

Can I get my user title changed to "Rich Homie Quantick"? Thought I'd make it an even more obscure music reference than it currently is.

Eaton's made my starting line-up for 2014, the guy sure does love a cake and has been ambling about just waiting for a diabetic coma for the past five years. If you're already back in hospital for health issues just three months after havinga pacemaker fitted, you're fucked. Unless he just gets his legs chopped off like Kamala.

Seven ate nine.

If you weren't alive in the UK back in the late 90s, you wouldn't know how famous this guy was at the time. He was on the fucking news every third episode, he was the kind of guy mediocre satirists would do gags about in their TV shows. RT this if you're a 90s baby.

NGL, Andrew Millwall is easily one of the least famous people to ever qualify for DDP points. When I put my team together I thought (incorrectly) that Steve Bunce still had a column in the Independent so he'd get a mention in a "the week in British boxing news" roundup. Shout out Murdoch for coming through for me though. (For the uninitiated/uninterested, Millwall ran a boxing prediction competition online that included among its players many British boxers, trainers and promoters, including at one point Tyson Fury).

Might set my followers on Quantick tomorrow if I get bored at work, we'll see.

Lawyer/international terrorist and DQSP's starting player for 2014 Lynne Stewart has been released from prison due to "very limited life expectancy". edition.cnn.com/2013/12/31/justice/lynne-stewart-compassionate-release/

Reverend for the listmakers.

This list feels like the DL compilers have gone fully professional, the era of Corinthian spirit deadpooling is over.

Some of the other late drops from my team that haven't been mentioned so far. Eileen Davies, mother of post-emocore kiddyfiddler Ian Watkins, has some significant health issues with her kidney or something. Anna Hazare, Indian social activist who is actually a guy with a stupid name. Generic "ill-health" rumours swimming around. That guy who got married while in hospital over Christmas and Sharon Osbourne gave him some money. This year's Jo Bryant, surely?

Thanks. It's all downhill from here.
