    The Generation Game

    You know its going to be a long game when "only 10 hits behind" is a promising spot!

    Think we had 8 so far?

    No, they're really not.

    Badly timed deaths

    Bit of a thing for Radio Times interviewees, then. Back in 1996, Jon "God" Pertwee was interviewed by them, stating that he was looking forward to his next big acting role but "at my age, Venusian aikido might be a tall ask!" By the time I read that in the then current issue, he'd been dead for a few days!

    Last Word

    Chap saved baby, got shot. Woman shagged Ian Fleming. Bruce forsyth hated his life, Strictly and was miserable about his lack of success. Brian Aldiss thought he was Dickens. Woeful episode, really.
  6. Why watch it on PPV? Wake up Sunday morning (it's tomorrow, right?), come on this forum, and Charon will have the entire match in youtube (ok, gif) posted on here, no doubt, for everyone to enjoy.
  7. It was a get around iirc - lots of dodgy folk with money invested in it, veiled threats and all that. Either that, or the carny out carny'd everyone.

    Badly timed deaths

    People say that Mother Theresa (meh) was overshadowed by Diana (boo) but both overshadowed poor old Burgess Meredith, who died a few days later. So much so, I didn't find out he had died for another four months! Meredith wins out easily over those 2 in my book. True story, we were near Stuttgart (on route to Italy) when news of Theresa's death hit. There was a picture in the local paper of the Pope, on the floor, crying over the news, but the main headline was about a case where a bullfighter had been gored badly (killed) by a bull. The headline? Finally the bull wins!

    Elizabethan Deadpool

    Sounds expensive. I'd wait for the Moderately Priced Or Preferably Cheap Piano instead.

    Think of the joy he'll have when they're losing to APOEL Nicosia.

    Wrestlers/actors

    Fucking hell, he's taken the Chyna baton and making her look sane in comparison.
  12. Yes, it has been very interesting, especially to see teams rise and fall as the year passes. And certainly, you can learn things from this years DDP. If Pan Breed returns in 2018, I'll have certainly be rethinking any strategy I use.

    Jay Thomas from Cheers (Carla's husband), 69.

    Doesn't look too bad, considering.

    Journalists

    Doesn't really come across as the smartest killer in the room, really.

    By-Election Bingo 2017-22

    That was two elections ago now. No Galloway at the last election, and her majority shot upwards (which was well after her first bout of controversies). Suggests the sorry voters of Bradford West like her. And it's not possible to be as bad as George Galloway. Even the likes of Nicholas Soames look good when compared to Rula's cat.

    Derby Dead Pool 2017

    Ricketts will piss an obit, it's just he's almost certainly a late 2018/early 2019 pick at this point. As for Rico, wrestlers, eh? When they go "I am ill", skeptical. It's when others guy "X is ill" one pays attention. So, Superstar says he is ill, and has since 2010. The doctors said Snuka was ill. Yet I still thought he was taking the piss. Shows what I know! I've never picked a winning wrestler, even when I knew they're gold, like Smith Hart, or Mulligan. That Nick Bockwinkel not getting an obit really astounded me.

    Hooroo, Mate.

    So by battle, they mean Charge of the Light Brigade then.
  19. I was looking for that earlier but couldn't find it.
  20. Is this a boxing match or MMA shit?

    Ideas And Possibilities For 2018

    Bill Frankland is a genius, quite frankly. Not a household name, perhaps, but he ought to be.

    Do You Actually Research?

    Was watching random shit on Channel 5 a few weeks ago, when one of the talking heads on a documentary was actually on my shortlist at one point last year! I'd turned her down early on due to obit concerns, and here she was talking about snogging a famous guy! Feck it, critical research failure, I thought. Went to look her up. In remission for 7 months. Phew! Only I've just discovered she's relapsed, so man, lots of swearing from Glasgow might be incoming soon!

    Javier Perez De Cuellar

    98. Is actually a tree, which was accidentally made Secretary General of the UN. The role being so important to modern life, no one noticed throughout its tenure.

    Ever suddenly had the realisation who is going to be the decisive hit in the 2017 DDP?
