The Old Crem 3,707 Posted December 31, 2024 Johnnie Walker a Unique hit this year. I wonder how many teams he would have been on next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My Daughters team had him, She's gutted he wasn't the record breaking hit. Close though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A dead cert for the Drop 40 carking it just as we get to the bells with one team bagging the points? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dying Probably 647 Posted December 31, 2024 Right, looks like my teams are done. And unsurprisingly they haven't done well! Dying Probably’s Twitter Page - 0 points (well... an expected shit result. Equalled #142 in TTL, Equalled #472 in DDP) OAPs - 25 points (honestly, what was I drinking when I made this team?! I got lucky with Inhofe but... Collins? Gosar? Trump? A better result than it deserved. Equalled #85 in TTL, equalled 288 in DDP) Ah, the ol' team - 36 points (annoying that Manolic didn't QO, only getting an obit in the Washington Post. otherwise a team plagued by a lot of hold-ons like Saint, Scales, DVD, Marsh Doll. worst picks probably Russell (recovered from cancer pretty well) and Wexton (too early to be good, but inevitably a staple in my future teams). looks like plenty of these will go in 2025 or shortly after. Equalled #229 in DDP) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Hemlock 770 Posted December 31, 2024 I decided to look at all the teams that scored 0 (wooden spoon) including my theme team Rolls Off The Tongue. I would say the unluckiest of these teams was I Couldn’t Eat Another Bite. They had a pretty good list of 20. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drunkasaskunk 210 Posted January 1 Assuming no more QOs in the next wee while I am please with a very respectable joint 21st position. Onwards and upwards and here is to doing a wee bit better in 2025 Thanks to all the organisers. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Death Impends 8,184 Posted Wednesday at 19:05 Had a well-earned lazy morning today. Now it's time for deadpool wrapping up. Just added Ida Reams and Antero Laukkannen to the LotL. Are there any other names that should be on either the List of the Lost or Missed? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sugar Pie De Santo had picked my me in the past but doesn't seem to have a QO so don't know if she counts as Lost or Missed? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they die and aren't a DDP pick, they're List of the Missed regardless of obit status. Cheers, updated both, I had actually mistakenly listed Leigh-Hunt in the "those we never picked" section on my year in review funny enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wannamaker 1,490 Posted Thursday at 13:50 John Capodice was a 2024 DDP pick, does he still count as a hit? https://metro.co.uk/2025/01/02/ace-ventura-general-hospital-actor-john-capodice-dies-83-22280555/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is a very small period of grace for late obits, afaik. He died 30 December so points may be harvested. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is when all of the major "news" agencies are short staffed and only put out the MAJOR stories (and shit about The Traitors and who is shagging who) leaving other news till ATER the holidays.

The Old Crem 3,707 Posted Thursday at 15:43 I think is why for 2026 the rules should move the end till a few days later. At least give one full office working day for obits. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
