    Football Manager Sacking Bingo 2

    Harsh in the last 18 months won FA Cup, Community Shield and reached a plastic European Semi-Final Compare that with a randomly selected other Premier League club like say Spurs............

    At least Bournmouth sacking Scott Parker means that Brendan Rodgers isn't the first PL casualty of the season

    Deadpool Detective Work

    Great work but we probably wouldn't waste the time if A listers ( or people on the DL) were actually turning their toes up.

    The Happy Birthday Thread

    Another unique pick for my DDP theme team who regularly fails to cough up the points

    Queen Camilla

    Surely the entire aristocracy must be closer than the limit of the Green area. The inbred bastards

    Political Frailty

    Lord Ashcroft takes out an advert on Twitter trying to influence the result of the 2023 Deathlist selection

    Queen Camilla

    That is a misleading article then it stated that his mother was a cousin to Camilla

    Queen Elizabeth II

    The flying conditions in the Highlands can be treacherous. It would be terrible if the helicopter transporting the PM to Balmoral crashed in mysterious circumstances.........

    New Here And Just Saying Hello

    Hi JJ There are some pools that are not calendar based that you can join anytime 20/20+2 is one as each round is new but the scoring is based off the year you would be playing on catch up (as dear old Henry Kelly used to say) but you could get in some useful practice for the 20/20+3 game that will start in January I addition the Scavenger Hunt Bingo Dead Pool could end any day now (or in 7 months time) and this one is really wild as you can't always play the usual suspects Welcome aboard

    The Happy Birthday Thread

    Dear old Antonia, a unique DDP pick for my theme team which had a good first half of the year

    World's Oldest

    I do not think a sample size of four against the several billion people who have lived will give us a very good degree of confidence about that 100% prediction

    World's Oldest

    If Lucile Randon dies before her next birthday she will be the only verified person to die aged 118. The previous three that got past 117 made it to 119

    Death Anniversary Thread

    It was a rare year where I had actually seen 4 out of the five nominated films at the cinema. I would have given the Oscar to any of them above Braveheart even Il Postino (the one I didn't see) Apollo 13 was very good as well

    Quotations

    N: You're having so many good ideas you should be careful your foot doesn't fall off Q: Is that what happens then when you have lots of good ideas? N: Yes, My brother had the good idea of cutting his toenails with a scythe and his foot fell off

    Death Anniversary Thread

    The biggest crime Braveheart committed was that it robbed Babe of the best picture Oscar that year

    Ideas and possibilities for 2023

    Good spot - I have amended my masterlist But at the current rate we could lose another 7 of the crowdsourced list
  25. Bibliogryphon

    Ideas and possibilities for 2023

    Those 19 in full 1. Frank Field - Was flavour of the month for picking at the end of 2021 but how ill is it. A lot of speculation based on one statement on his behalf in the British parliament. 2. Pope Benedict XVI - The only pick that has appeared on 7 Crowdsourced lists that is not on the main list 3. George Alagiah - Was No.1 pick on DDP teams in 2022. This must count for something 4. Glynis Johns - Is 2023 her time for a DL Debut? 5. Jerry Lee Lewis - Second highest New entry on the list 6. James Whale - Doesn't seem to be as ill as all that 7. Linda Nolan - Suggestions she is fading have recently surfaced 8. Joanne Woodward - A huge miss if she goes this year 9. Shannen Doherty - I am split on whether she should be included 10. Milos Zeman - Might not be the sort of name that makes the list 11. Yoko Ono - Dropped eight places since last year but still very DL type name who should be on the list 12. James Watson - First appearance on the Crowdsourced list but I think he is ready for the main list 13. Barbara Walters - A name that I was unfamiliar with until she started being discussed here. The discussion seems to outweigh her actual health condition 14. Francoise Hardy - Does the DL need a liitle more continental appeal? 15. Norman Lear - Old but healthy. Over 100 on debut, is that looked down upon? 16. Jiang Zemin - Could be a good pick for 2023 17. Jake 'The Snake' Roberts - No thank you from the campaign for no wrestlers on the Death List 18. Jean Marsh - Reportedly in ill health for a while. High time for her on the main list 19. David Graham - A big yes from me (but what else did you expect) has continued to work though
