    Hopefully it will be dead before the New Year.

    Derby Dead Pool 2018

    Nicholas Roeg was my third unique hit for Unusual Suspects. My hits now look like a series of The South Bank Show

    Another elderly actor worthy of consideration is Frank Windsor

    Hugh Laurie looked a bit gaunt when getting his CBE from Prince Charles.

    The 4th Crowdsource Deathlist (2019 edition)

    I reckon the name on all the lists is probably Kirk Douglas.

    I am sure in 2049 Dua Lipa will be on someone's DDP team.

    1. Don't pick up the phone he only ever calls you when he's drunk or alone.

    Inverse Survivor Dead Pool I

    If you think this is confusing try getting your head around the UEFA Nations League.

    Inverse Survivor Dead Pool I

    Wow. Saved by the rollover rule. My drafted team for November which didn't get to be used had Devin Lima in the top spot. Phew.

    The Bill (And Other Cop Shows)

    I remember him as the randy caretaker in the forgotton Stephen Pacey comedy vehicle Troubles and Strife.

    The EU Referendum Hokey Cokey

    The Chairman of the 1922 Committee has to be an honest broker. Even if they don't make it public back benchers would talk and if the Chairman was found not to be representing the back benchers then the whole system would disintegrate. He doesn't have 48. I would suggest he has low thirties.

    I was waiting until I had access to my spreadsheet to play my new line up. There are four regulars. I have at least four possibilities in each category. I think Sean said he would decide when to call this a day. Maybe at the end of 2019 but this is one of my favourite pools.

    The 4th Crowdsource Deathlist (2019 edition)

    Crowdsourced Candidate #9 - Ben Aaronovitch. I don't like doing this but I think this guy needs to be on the radar. He has said that he will continue to write his Peter Grant books until either no one buys them or he dies. This does not look like the physique of a man who will reach retirement age. Unfortunately I am a fan and would be sad.
