Yes, deadpoolers, it’s this time again. 2023 has had departures from as sad as Tina Turner to as welcomed as Henry Kissinger, but there’s still two constants in this world: The Derby Dead Pool, and us laughing at whichever poor souls fall for Superstar Billy Graham again.

 

Erm, okay, one constant.

 

For 2024, @Banana and I are continuing in our previous posts. As for @gcreptile's announced retirement. We all can agree he has done a bang up job for the past four years entering the celeb deaths and sorting out bugs while never losing his trademark zen. As it stands he is still in talks with a potential successor and will remain on the committee for at least another month or so to assure a smooth transition, and we will keep you updated as that progresses.

Dear Jimmy - either die in the next week, or go all the way to 2024 - love, Banana

 

THE RULES remain the same as they have for the past few years. Be warned – Ruth Langsford mother falls afoul of our FFBI criteria.

 

IMPORTANT REMINDER:

 

The spreadsheet method of entry that began in 2021 remains in service. The 2024 spreadsheet, identical to the 2023 one in all but filename, can be found here. It is heavily recommended to use the spreadsheet as means of entry to reduce Banana's workload as much as possible.

 

If you are absolutely unable to work with the Excel spreadsheet, still make sure to recheck GUN's DDP entry guide thread from 2020 to make the formatting of your email as smooth as possible.

It is not a case of not being able to work with the excel spreadsheet I can't open it

Dw misspelling celebrity names and your own team names are much bigger faux pas

My three crumbles baked and entered into the competition! No more  back and forth  indecision about who  to include who to not. It's done and once you press send it feels very freeing. The burden of decision is over and its a relief! I think its a decent effort and I hope for the best but it's now out of my hands and that feels great!

Hope you enjoy some tasty slices when they are  served on the 1st of January!

I’ve put my entry in, but I haven’t received confirmation yet.  A new thing?

Only if they produce the same effect as an enema.

I suppose I am the Nigel Farage of the DeathList forum and Derby Deadpool -very little actual official wins but plenty of colourful influence, scene setting  and mood music!!

300+ hits will be a tough ask in 2024 IMO.

GUN Fishing is in - thanks to all the Committee - ongoing and past members.

 

I probably won't play all the other stuff this year but enjoy.

 

Cheers.

Just entered my two teams.

 

My main team, hoping to do better after an abject 2023. At one stage, if Tongo had got a suitable obit, I was in the lead. He didn't and then pretty much everyone recovered or were never ill (Eric Lamaze and Kate Keltie, I'm looking at you here)

 

My theme team is a sports team which, all in all, I consider almost as strong as the main team. I certainly had more angst who to drop.

Does an obit in Yahoo.uk just show up as Yahoo.com here in the States?  Inquiring minds want to know.  I was certain it would say UK, but now I’m not sure.

Am I right in presuming "people I really don't want to die" isn't a legitimate theme team?

Windsor the Troll and Windsor’s OBE submitted this morning! 
 

I fear for the future of my OBE theme team as I note the Order’s Grand Master position has been left vacant since Prince Philip died in 2021. It may be that they are finally going to get rid of the British Empire bit due to the amount of (black/Welsh) people turning down the honour.

Doubt it. Probably just haven’t bothered to give it to Camila/William/Catherine/Anne yet.

in all other instances the vacancy was filled within a year. 
 

I think this will be used as their “I’m not a racist” thing.

I can’t see the Tories axing something over being named the British empire.
