An Fear Beag

HARE'S DEATH POOL 2023

Recommended Posts

The clock is ticking - just under 24 hours left to get a team in.

Apologies that I have not been replying to PMs - a bit busy at work and home over the past few days. I have been taking note of all the teams submitted, but have not sifted through them yet

 

So far, we have the grand total of 42 entries:

An Fear Beag

Arghton

Baby Blue

Bibliogryphon

BookBuffaloPhil

CalebH

Charles DeGaulle

DeathBecomesThem

DeathByArsenic

DeathImpends

Diego

TheSpinosaurus

The Unknown Man

TQR

WEP

WhenThe

Wormfarmer

YorkshireBanker

YoungOne

 

A fair few new faces there, which is always great to see. A large number of old familiars missing, but hopefully the next 24hrs will bring some of them in.

From last year, we are missing @CalebH, @CaptainChorizo, @Doulton, @Hell, @ImNotHades, @Joey Russ, @Kenny, @Pedro67, @Sean, @Thatcher, @The Old Crem, @Torva Messor and @WhoamI.

And if anyone knows of the whereabouts of a Mr. D.Ray, perhaps they could facilitate the entry of a team.

Edit: Swapped the places of Roberta Flack and Rafiq Nishonov as I put them in the wrong order

Thanks for the entry @arghton, quite the eclectic bunch!. Today I learned that there is such thing as a grand-master of tea - I'm fairly sure my Gran was one of those before she died!

 

I also learned that 2 of your picks Kaikala Satyanarayanayanayanayana (I know how to spell it, I just don't know when to stop) and Subroto have failed to make the starting line. They are replaced by the rather more prosaic Gianluca Vialli and Linda Nolan

Como o Papa Bento XVI e Pelé tropeçaram e caíram no aquecimento, seus dois primeiros submarinos subirão para cima. Vou dar-lhe até a meia-noite GMT para escolher um novo Coringa. Se você não fizer isso, o primeiro nome da sua lista (Brigitte Bardot) se tornará seu Coringa.

I have just recovered from several weeks of illness (two nasty viruses) and won't be submitting any entries this year.

I've never entered this before, but it occurred to me I had the makings of a team already picked out from my "Randoms who Might" DDP team which has turned into "Randoms who Didn't", so I thought just add a couple of extra names, find a couple of subs just in case, and send it in here!

 

So here it is:

Ann Hamilton    from Morecambe & Wise
Ann Haydon-Jones    tenniser aka Ann Jones
Arthur Cox    Football Manager
Billy Mills    US 10k Olympic winner aka Tamakoce Te'Hila
Bob Langley    Pebble Miller
Bobbie Gentry    of Ode to Billie Joe
Bonnie Bramlett    of Delaney & Bonnie
Chita Rivera    From Broadway
Clarence Carter    Patches
Dyan Cannon    Alice Actress
Frank Blunstone    Ex-Footballer, earliest surviving England International
Gordon Lee    Football Manager
Graham Kerr    Galloping Gourmet
James Cosmo    Go-to Scots actor
Jean-Claude Killy    Skier
Jeanette Charles    The Queen    <<<<<<<<<<<<<<JOKER/WILDCARD
John Gorman    Scaffolder/Tiswas
Kris Kristofferson    Convoy
Laurence Fox    Ex-actor, now just a guy with a massive chip on his shoulder
Louis Mellis    Sexy Beast
Peter Shelley    Not the Buzzcock, the Coo-ca-choo writer
Rita Moreno    From the films
Roger McGough    Scaffolder/poet
Terry Cox    Pentangle-ist
Yves Saint-Martin    French Jockey
    
Subs    
Jimmy Melia    Football Manager, took Brighton to FA Cup Final

No idea where the cunt is. Managed to find his forum. All that’s left of it is an angry incel and a bitter convict having a hate-wank together, and neither of them are Deathray; he appears to have abandoned it ages ago.

 

My guess is he’s either checked into a rehab facility or been consumed by a cult, so I wouldn’t bank on him entering.

Sounds like both of them are Deathray, to be honest.

I got your team. I am currently processing the teams when I am (a) Sober and (b) Not Hungover. That leaves a very short window in each day, so it might be some time before I get to yours. At first glance it looks ok.
