Perhaps 1,423 Posted May 21, 2023 MMMDP Form Guide #20 Ruth Langford’s Mother You may have heard from a certain mysterious avatar-less account (Eamonn Holmes?) that Joan Langsford may be a hot pick for deadpools going forward. With Joan Langsford currently in her 90’s and in a carehome with dementia, perhaps it’s time to start taking the ramblings of user Deathrow66 seriously. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Competition opens on 1 June with the aim of getting a winner by midsummer's day. This is Maryport’s Midsummer Madness Dead Pool 2023 (That’ll be MMMDP to you lot!) MMMDP 2022 - That masterlist in full (can you tell what it is yet?) MMMDP Hall of Fame: 2016 – Spade Cooley (Jerome Lewis) 2 June 2017 - CaptainChorizo (Errol Christie) 11 June 2018 – The Dead Cow (Irene Jones) 1 June 2019 - Clorox Bleachman (Ani Yudhoyono) 1 June 2020 – Toast (Willie Thorne) 17 June 2021 –Perhaps (Nacho Laun) 1 June 2022 – Drol (Zeta Emilianidou) 6 June Just copying the first post on this thread so's you can all see we've deposed the deceased Rolf Harris as MC of this pool and his replacement is having a final make up and costime session before taking over. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clearly your heart goes out...though fortunately no police were injured and doubtless their efficient response has drawn praise and possible lucrative offers of work from the likes of Vladimir Putin and Bashar (heh heh) al-Assad. Claire's family fear her treatment has left her fighting for her life. Possibly one or two hereabouts fear others will beat them to posting her as a pick as this pool goes live on 31 May. Claire Nowland doesn't make the start line: https://www.9news.com.au/national/kristian-white-police-officer-who-tasered-clare-nowland-charged-with-grievous-bodily-harm/ac2f768a-2ac6-4263-9afe-3f2f99735bc3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted May 30, 2023 A timely reminder that entries go live this time tomorrow, they're limited to 20 (at which point I'll blag the final place on the basis of running the thing). and three of the seven previous competitions have ended on day one, another finished a day later. Dunno why, but I'm thinking this may go longer. Just don't see the obvious totterer in the talent pool who is nailed on. Anyway, as our second pick on the form guide might say, get in there fast and go with yer best pick because, sadly, we can't Alwen (arf!) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted May 31, 2023 OOHHHH, we're gettin' there and loads of talent previously unmentioned in the form guide has suddenly appeared, in the hope it'll rapidly disappear in the seconds after midnight! Don't all rush at once, or owt, but as of this post there are four more places up for grabs before I wade in and complete the 21 trying to win it in 21 days! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
