Yvonne 360 Posted December 27, 2023 On 03/12/2023 at 17:12, Death Impends said: 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 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JustPassingThrough 148 Posted December 27, 2023 I've submitted two teams for 2024. I've entered a main team for the second year in a row and will also run a theme team for the first time. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gooseberry Crumble 5,342 Posted December 27, 2023 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! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Octopus of Odstock 2,195 Posted December 28, 2023 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,070 Posted December 28, 2023 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Salmon Mousse 473 Posted December 30, 2023 Am I right in presuming "people I really don't want to die" isn't a legitimate theme team? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Windsor 2,233 Posted December 30, 2023 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
