Aye, the strange power of posting a tumbleweed, eh? So, how's about this then (heh heh) I'll award provisional points on the back of a Spanish report that easily offered me an English translation, you and/or Banana confirm with a proper English obit -and everyone else piles on if you or Bananan are in serious danger of winning and a proper English obit hasn't appeared.

maryportfuncity 9,992 Posted January 3, 2023 I'm assuming there'll be keen interest in the existence or otherwise of an English qo for the Spanish influencer once it becomes obvious that it's had a profound impact on the battle to win the prestigious and generous prize, or summat An Fear Beag - 1459 Banana - 1456 Drol - 1095 Hell - 1095 Book - 1094 msc - 1094 The Old Crem - 1094 SummerinTransilvania - 1094 Captain Chorizo - 1093 RadGuy - 1093 gcreptile - 1092 Speaking of English obits, I'm minded to allow this: https://newsrebeat.com/world-news/132217.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 9,992 Posted January 6, 2023 So - Vialli's date of death is nowhere yet but it's either today or yesterday and his impact on the scoreboard will be seismic - Banana snags over 700 points and sails past the winning total - his few point deficit to AFB at the moment being a minor consideration. The total will appear once the date is confirmed but feel free to pile on the congratulations now Gianlucca Vialli – af, ba*, bb, bk, cc, ch, db*, dg, di, dr, et, gf, gr, hl, jm, jr, mn, mp, ms, na*, rg*,su, tc, to, tq, tt, tw* An Fear Beag - 1459 Banana - 1456 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 9,992 Posted January 6, 2023 Discussion on DDP thread that Princess Bajrakitiyabha is dead, though no confirmation - can't see it changing the winner - Toast being the main beneficiary if she proves to have gone before Vialli and Toast being way more than 700 points off a winning total. If more than one person goes over the line at the same time the winner is the highest overall points score and Banana has her, An Fear Beag doesn't. Might go and attend to the day job for a few hours and let the evidence present itself.

On a sidenote - dunno and I'm not enough of an anorak to check but I don't think this pool covered itself in glory the year it allowed Death Row on board.

maryportfuncity 9,992 Posted January 6, 2023 My pleasure comes from doing my job in the best possible way. Whether it is at Chelsea or Juventus or Watford, or delivering the goods for back-to-back Banana wins in the Deathrace, it does not really matter. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 9,992 Posted January 6, 2023 Reet - he died 6 Jan, may have been beaten by a Thai princess, which makes a difference to the scoreboard. Away for a curry and beer - final reckoning will follow, feel free to post any relevant deaths missed so far - I'm assuming Banana has won regardless.
