gcreptile 10,964 Posted December 27, 2021 Every site still showing a Tim Bilton "obit" shouldn't count for any deadpool whatsoever. These ones are the worst kind of copy/paste with no own journalistic effort. I saw them during the Cup much too often, and was angry at them giving an english "obit" for the most marginal people. "Usdaynews", "memesrandom", "topinfoguide", and so on and on. None of these are worth anything. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On 23/12/2021 at 03:44, Joey Russ said: Yes, because shockingly she did not receive a single mention in a QO On 26/12/2021 at 14:29, Ulitzer95 said: Yes, him or the oldest person in the UK title holder. That was another surprise. I have for the past few years included 'oldest people' in my HPDP teams, precisely because they are (were!) assured of a QO and therefore points; considering the press coverage she got when she reached 112, and later when she had her Covid jab, a real surprise that there's no mention of her death outside the 'specialist' websites. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ulitzer95 12,577 Posted December 29, 2021 Ashley and Madden take us to 270. 8 needed. Unless we have a crazy couple of days, that record isn't going to be smashed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gooseberry Crumble 5,337 Posted December 29, 2021 April Ashley, Harry Reid, John Madden. Three DDP deaths today. If the same happens for the next three days and or q/o come through for other names earlier in the year then we surpass last years total. What do you say?!! @msc @gcreptile Doable!

Ulitzer95 12,577 Posted December 29, 2021 This is the photo on John Prescott's listing on the DDP. Am I missing the joke here? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh, we had two John Prescotts, and it seems the wrong photo survived... meh. This one is a "Tom Jones Impersonator". It can be corrected next year though. By the way, we now have 271 hits. 7 left to tie, 8 hits left to break the record. So we need some more year-end list obits. If you find any QOs, let me know. We are close. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TQR 14,385 Posted December 31, 2021 If nothing changes in the next couple of hours, I'll have finished 28th. I'll take that for a debut. And a respectable, erm, 431st for A Bunch Of Punts. My 2022 teams are in my shiny new signature. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
