290 with Ryan O’Neal now.

It'd be interesting if Carter is the 300th hit.

oh my ! didn't even think it was still possible ! not even a personal pick but I thought she was an interesting one

[Evil Grimace 359]

The delayed November estimate, and last one for the 2023 DDP, shows that is has been the slowest in the year with only 20 total hits, with 19 in November (including a delayed Colette Maze obit) and an obit for R R Griffiths from 16 October.  This gives a slight decrease in the estimated total of 306 (see table).

 

At the time of writing, the hits stand at 290, already a new record.

 

The final total estimate still breaks the 300 barrier.  Each hit will make a new record, but with 20 days left, it requires a rate for the remaining days of 0.75 hits/day to get to ~305.  Could be a reach given November's low performance.

Month	Hits	Predicted Total
November	20	306
October	29	307
September	24	299
August	26	296
July	24	292
Jan-June	161	290

I know by whom grrrrrrr

[The Old Crem 3,608]

It has really slowed down at the moment. At this pace we will struggle to hit 300.

[YoungWillz 21,067]

Steve Halliwell QO: https://www.itv.com/news/calendar/2023-12-15/emmerdale-actor-steve-halliwell-dies-aged-77

 

Should be noted he is being reported as having died aged 77, so the dob on the DDP is incorrect - it should be 1946, not 1954.

[The Old Crem 3,608]

8 more hits till we reach 300. Need an hit on average every other day from now on. Going to be pretty tight. Might miss by a couple. 

[msc 18,480]

We have to go back to 2010 to find the last time there were fewer than 8 hits in the final 16 days of the year.

Only seven needed now to get to 300.

Once again we have a bio on the DDP which suggests she was born in 1947. She wasn't. Everywhere confirms a dob of 1936 and all the obits confirm a death age of 87.

He QO-ed anyway, but Adrian Street's omission from that list is unforgiveable.
