Fun team.  I will be annoyed if Purple Aki dies this year as I left him off my Scouse/Merseysider team.

He's never been on DDP. I can see why, as he's a complicated figure, but he's getting up there in years. I had an aunt who was similarly... complicated... who was found behind the door of her flat at around that age.

Hi was on my scouse team a few years ago under Akinwale Arobieke. I can't see him making 65 to be honest.

I'm proud to present my theme (and only) team, Lil Tay Is Not Dead but Alive With Soul. It's named after David Gest's aged-like-milk tour. 

 

For the benefit of those of us who have no idea what "David Gest's aged-like-milk tour" means, can you elaborate?

 

Thanks

David Gest planned a tour called 'David Gest Is Not Dead...But Alive With Soul'. He died before it started.

 

Phil Collins did a tour the same year called 'Not Dead Yet'. He's a brave, brave man.

Gest named it after this unfortunate incident in the series of Celebrity Big Brother he was part of.

I think there’s a chance that my team might be leading right now in the DDP with Draper joker and Beckenbauer and I wasn’t even trying lmao

[JQW 316]

That's two hits for my team already this year - last year's entry only managed to acheive three.

Beckenbauer the third faller on the preliminary Drop 40. 32 plumped for Der Kaiser.

[Sly Ronnie 979]

And there was me thinking that the DDP was getting off to an ambling start!

[Perhaps 1,492]

Don’t know what was going through my head when I demoted Franz to my B team. Ffs.

J P R Williams

I don’t think he has ever been selected before. 

[Joey Russ 7,338]

This doesn’t need to turn into a dumping ground for random celebs. 

[Death Impends 8,385]

He actually was picked as recently as 2013. So I believe the second 2024 LotM alum.

[Eesti 159]

Rashid Khan is surely a hit for someone

No one picked him.

[gcreptile 11,426]

Dirty secret: India is not really covered by Yahoo. So picking an Indian here is very risky. Oommen Chandy and Jayanta Mahapatra were two QO misses last year.

Edit: Actually, Chandy was unpicked. He didn't get the QOs for the Death By Numbers, though.

[Eesti 159]

I considered Rashid Khan... has he got obit already?

Was just trawling obits for the man - he's hit the woefully low standards of Deathrace q/o and helped one team cash in a joker, seen nowt of DDP worthiness yet.
