YoungWillz 21,034 Posted January 22, 2023 I'm going to suggest that George Dunn https://www.derbydeadpool.co.uk/deadpool2023/celebs_D.html#dunn99g021was born 21 September 1922 in Whitstable, Kent, as per this news report? https://www.theargus.co.uk/news/22312961.raf-pilot-saltdean-celebrating-100th-birthday-tomorrow/ Also, that report says he was in the Home Guard during the Battle of Britain, so his bio is a bit off - he does have other wartime records of some note though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grim Up North 3,725 Posted January 22, 2023 15 minutes ago, Perhaps said: I did add a wiki link to his page in my submission so it was clear which John Scott it was. Maybe I should have put (politician) John Scott in my entry? If it's my fault that I didn't include that information, it's totally fine. I explain this every year but it's worth explaining again because I suspect there will be quite a few Simon Cowell's that have come through incorrectly. When entering the names if the database picks up a coding for the name then it is not reviewed - there are about 1500 - 2000 where the coding is not picked up so it's just not possible to check every name back to the info provided and check the coding is picking up the right name. However where the extra info you provided comes in handy is to help if we can't identify the celebrity or in cases like this where the database has picked incorrectly due to multiple names and you can raise it, like you have, and we (the Committee ***) can sort it out. This is much faster for the committee (mainly banana in this case) than checking every single name (most of which will be correct) as he enters the teams. Cheers, GUN ***I'm not adjusting well to retirement PS See you on 1st March in The Cup. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,966 Posted January 22, 2023 Wrong names will be corrected, provided we have enough info. I am currently changing all the Prince Edwards and most of the Simon Cowells. Don't worry, everything will be done. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vinegar Tits 606 Posted January 22, 2023 I haven't got time to search this thread but Lucile Randon doesn't seem to have been included in the DDP list. I know both my teams picked her but is showing other old French person Andre Soeur instead. Very odd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

justonecornetto 949 Posted January 22, 2023 Great work by all concerned. I have checked all the listings for the names in my teams and just the one correction required - Theme Team - Kiwi fruit sundae (New Zealanders) Jim Bolger is shown as the Irish racehorse breeder but should be the former NZ Prime Minister Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marinade 18 Posted January 22, 2023 Hello. Many thanks to the DDP admins. Some housekeeping: SPORTSPEOPLE I THINK MIGHT DIE IN 2023: Bill Gates is the former Middlesbrough footballer and not the vaccine-microchipping computer illuminatus. Dave Watson is the former England international (b. 10/46) and not the goalkeeping coach. Dick Savitt is completely correct, I'm just bringing him up because I got a unique hit. PEOPLE I THINK MIGHT DIE IN 2023: Michael Fish is the designer of the kipper tie and my lone recurring unique and not the weatherchap. Salut! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lafaucheuse 4,045 Posted January 22, 2023 two question : • why is it written on the drop 40 page : "total dropped in 2023...02!" ? Is it the two celebs that didn't make the drop 40 from last year ? • also, what does this stat mean ? are the "total hits" the total of point for that person or the total of hits the person had since being in the DDP ? Same question with the total teams Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
