gcreptile 10,088 Posted January 10, 2022 With all the hospice cases, err... out of the way... and the most critical COVID cases either dead or recovering, I thought maybe it's now possible to sneak to a win, with names like Vicky Phelan or Catherine Wybourne, but I notice An Fear Beag has Vicky Phelan, too. I think she has maybe 2-3 weeks left: https://www.rsvplive.ie/news/celebs/vicky-phelan-says-its-been-25894949 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They need three picks (or 2 with a Joker) to see them over the line, and I'm afraid that could take some time Frank Field dying soon would be even worse from your perspective. Narrows the field down to myself and Banana, so even less chance of a quick finish. I'll stand by my prediction, either Banana finishes this quickly, or we are a few weeks away from the end you crave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll stand by my prediction, either Banana finishes this quickly, or we are a few weeks away from the end you crave The rate at which Banana seems likely to win this one, and you did last year, is really putting a dent into my theory that the Deathrace is best won by being a jammy fucking git! Which is entirely what I owe both titles to. In fact, the first one, I pipped @Death Impends at the post, and she responded by kicking my ass in pretty much every single deadpool in the last 6 years as revenge! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As a race-horse trainer, you would have thought he would understand the importance of waiting until the starter had dropped the flag to begin the race, instead of jumping the gun like that. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banana 853 Posted January 10, 2022 I think if I end up losing it'll come down to Vicky Phelan. I meant to have her but completely forgot somehow. Like Gc I don't think she has much longer left. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Worth noting, Chorizo is holding a good fifth place whilst Frank Field (joker on cc's team) still holds onto a pulse.

That said, as Field's value drops cc does better off the double joker points available. The nail-biting excitement has clearly perked up Lawrence Brooks, just look at that cheerful smile An Fear Beag - 1810 Banana - 1810 Captain Chorizo – 1442 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 9,939 Posted January 11, 2022 The state of play after Drol eases onto the podium with a unique pick Drol's joker is Frank Field - also on the two teams above, but Field would send Drol sailing to victory.

Although there is a strong line of thought among Bond fans that Roger Moore should have retired at 55 after filming Octopussy which was a more fitting farewell (and made more of the fact he was clearly an older Bond), rather than come back again for the disappointing View to a Kill.
