It also means January 2018 is now officially the biggest month in DDP history (38 deaths). I waited 345 days for Nigel Sims in 2018, so I hope they might be a bit quicker with Colin Withers. Already submitted in my 2021 entry so a sub will come into play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
