I am thinking of a spin-off that might not be a fucking 40 year long exercise.

4 pre-start deaths and fuck all in the 100 days since we started. Bit unlucky all round really.

I'll pick Nigel Farage, David Cameron, Boris Johnson, Michael Gove & Dominic Cummings.

En Passant’s DOUBLE DUKAKIS has taken a wallop. He takes the lead. RIP Olympia, and thank you.

A Bunch of Punts, our DDP team, also gets a hit, for 6 lovely points, taking us to joint 354th! :party:

Donald Rumsfeld is a hit for me.... so for me he was a known unknown, or something like that.

God this thing takes up all my free time, for fuck sake. 1 Rumsfeld coming up. You might join me in not being upset in the slightest at the loss of this old twat.

Wake up, little Punt Pool, wake up.


Don Everly, off of brothers, (these ones below, in fact) is dead. My nan’s corpse is deeply upset.

Forgot that I had Everly here. Now all I need to win is for Connie Francis to go on a permanent V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N, Brenda Lee to turn into Sweet Nothins, Frankie Avalon to head to Venus, and Paul Anka to die of embarrassment after remembering he did "You're Having My Baby." Foolproof plan :)

I've had a good laugh reading through the thread though - very entertaining. :D

Despite being such a picture of health, Sir Frank Williams off of Williams has died aged 79.

Shit! I must’ve been out when he died. Completely passed me by.

 

So yes, to clarify, this is also a dead.

With a month to go, let’s talk briefly about the DDP.

 

This year’s current effort has, as expected, taken the 26th Derby Dead Pool by storm, beating literally some teams with this sterling effort:

With 6 points, we are currently joint-415th! :champagne:


 

Tough act to follow, but here is the official Punt Pool 2022 DDP entry, comprised of (nearly) an alphabet of pleasing punt picks from our masterlist, and who we can thank for them:

 

Art Garfunkel (msc)

Brigitte Bardot (time, Caleb)

Chubby Checker (Dying Probably)

David Lynch (Handy)

Edmund White (Book)

Joe Pesci (Rover)

Katharine, Duchess of Kent (Biblio, Toast)

Len Goodman (GUB)

Michelle Phillips (Handy)

Norman Tebbit (GUB, Rover)

Paul Anka (Death Impends)

Roman Polanski (QTips)

Steve Buscemi (msc)

Tom Baker (Biblio)

Ursula Andress (Old Lady)

Willie Nelson (Banana, Roey, Engineer)

 

RESERVES:

Sixix Ninine (Don’t Fear The Reaper, Roey)

Ah, Steve Buscemi. He seems OK just now (afaik) but he was working as a fireman in NY after September 11th, sad cancer news at some point wouldn't surprise.

Ah yes, sorry. It was such an uninspiring pick it slipped me by. Anyway, let’s have a look at the absolute dreamboat.

What it means, though, is we have a new leader. The Engineer is 40% complete! See, mid-2023 we’ll be done. Piss easy, this game. 

 

The Pant-Wettingly Exciting Scoreboard:

Engineer - 2

En Passant - 1

gcreptile - 1

Death Impends - 1

RoverAndOut - 1

Banana - 1

Charles d’Irlande - 1

Newjack - 1

Joemoneypenny - 1

Every other fucker - 0

I’m shocked, frankly, that nobody had Meat Loaf here, so I’ve just bumped this thread to annoy you all.
