Me cam fa'murda ya pussyole

Scott Thorson only has stage II cancer, btw. Happy new year!

Go on then, here's David Quantick's Showbiz Pals 2013 Joker (Pick 1): Sandy Jardine Pick 2: Alice Munro Pick 3: Andrew Millwall Pick 4: Anne Williams Pick 5: Bonnie Franklin Pick 6: Bruno Metsu Pick 7: Giulio Andreotti Pick 8: Henry Cecil Pick 9: Jack Pardee Pick 10: James R Young Pick 11: John Glover Pick 12: Lisa Lynch Pick 13: Mark Crispin Pick 14: Mickey Duff Pick 15: Mikhail Kalashnikov Pick 16: Pran Pick 17: Ray Price Pick 18: Reg Presley Pick 19: Ryan Buell Pick 20: Van Cliburn

if he dies on the 31st (Cuban time) he will be a hit on the 2012 list won't he? It's a thorny issue. The deadline for obits is more rigid than for entries to the following years competition. If Chavez does die on NYE but it is announced on NYD, then we're double fucked. A not too disimilar thing happened in 2010/11 with Ronald Searle. I went long on him, so this is my ideal situation.

It's kind of a show of deadpooling might. "I'm so good at this I can pick a team consisting solely of people from Ottley and still get over 50 points".

7th. Bricked it on Jim Stynes, blew it with Lisa Lynch. As us lower league fans are wont to say, there's always next year.

So... how many of us were considering Amanat as a possible 2013 pick before she died? None of us because we all have good upstanding morals, right?

As a big treat for you all, here's my 2013 theme team. They're called The 1922 Committee. Can you guess the theme? Joker (Pick 1): Anker Jørgensen Pick 2: Árpád Göncz Pick 3: Bill Macy Pick 4: Christopher Lee Pick 5: Coleen Gray Pick 6: Denis Norden Pick 7: Doris Day Pick 8: Eileen Ford Pick 9: Eleanor Parker Pick 10: George Blake Pick 11: Lou Duva Pick 12: Luis Echeverría Álvarez Pick 13: Lyndon LaRouche Pick 14: Marty Allen Pick 15: Otto Carius Pick 16: Patrick Macnee Pick 17: Pierre Cardin Pick 18: Ralph H. Baer Pick 19: Sid Caesar Pick 20: Tom Finney

Bam, there it is.

Call off the horses...

Only four female members of my line-up. I think deadpooling needs to check its privilege.

PM'd entries are acceptable for those of us who don't want to give away their DDP lineup in public just yet, right?

No need to revoke "Sir" Irvine Patnick's knighthood any more...

Think... think I've settled on a 20 now. No Bush Sr, no Mandela. Controversial.

Two different types of fatty though. Lewis looks like the hectoring sales manager you had at your first summer job as an 17-year-old. MVG looks like the retarded son of an Eastern European gangland don.

In his first interview since he fisted that bloke to death, Michael Barrymore denies fisting a bloke to death.

I have it as my home page...

It's decided over a pint or eight tonight. Will there be a live webcam stream? Minute-by-minute livetweeting? A camera crew filming a documentary about the occasion?

Tony Greig vs Pythagoras

I'll be damned if I fall for the 'Lee Evans gambit' again but this seems to be legitimate...but you wouldn't reveal it if he was one of your picks surely...

Well that saves TMIB having to think of a rape-based pun for her obit.

Liberace's former partner Scott Thorson, who also claims to have slept with Michael Jackson, has anal cancer. Make your own jokes.

Vaclav Drobny, who spent a completely unmemorable season at Aston Villa during the dregs of the O'Leary era, has died while bobsledding.

General Norman Schwarzkopf is storming out of here aged 78.
