Canadian Paul 97 Posted January 1, 2009 Nice list as always FF... I'm a bit worried that Dunne won't make the obit, but what do I know? Also, pardon my ignorance, but I can't find anything on Joanne Evans. Who is she? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Handrejka 1,903 Posted January 1, 2009 I'm eager to announce that Master Mind 2009 was entered a few days ago. I stand very confident in my teams performance and I'm aiming at my first DDP championship. I would also be the first modern American to win the competition. I'm anticipating the quality in other teams that my rivals have created and I look forward to seeing what they got. I think past winners Fallen Sparrow and the late MT Graves were "modern Americans". I'm pretty sure Otis, You want a treat? was American too. I think you're the first British winner since deathlist.net in 2004 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Octopus of Odstock 2,186 Posted January 1, 2009 Hi, Just got back from NY celebrations/stay-over - I've got 150 teams to sort out today, so RA, Deathlist, TMIB, MPFC - I'll be as quick as I can with the submissions. Some very interesting teams, I must admit... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, pardon my ignorance, but I can't find anything on Joanne Evans. Who is she? Joanne Evans is a young British woman (age 24) who is reported to be terminally ill with inoperperable cancer and a prognosis of only having weeks to live. She is definitely in the famous for being sick category, but I thought that she was one of those low hanging fruits worthy of a try. Here is the link to her story Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here is the link to her story It was initially my suggestion back in October and she's as obscure as it gets. I labeled her as valuable at the time but it didn't take very long for that story to fade away. It's a gamble with a cost. It's 27 if it works out and I'm hoping she turns out to be a weapon in my favour... Good Luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Windsor 2,233 Posted January 2, 2009 Iain McColl Pishflaps! Thought he might be a unique pick for my team. I don't actually know how ill he is. Last news I had on him there was a warrant for his arrest after he failed to appear in court. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Last news I had on him there was a warrant for his arrest after he failed to appear in court. He'll survive Winnie, dyed in the wool 'weegie' alcoholic actor, it's a bit of a cliché, but I'd be very surprised if he goes this year, people like him defy death, unless you are talking about another 'Iain McColl' .

I'm on about the comedian guy (Rab C Nesbit fame). He has some sort of cancer. It could be that he is following the trend of Pinochet (although his charges are not quite as bad as mass murder).

Yep same guy I was thinking of, also did 'City Lights', 'Hamish McBeth' and appeared in the TV adaptation of Iain Banks's 'The Crow Road' he is a familiar face in a lot of BBC Scotland productions, mostly the ones by the comedy unit, but I don't think he will go this year, may be a better bet for 2010 0r 2011?

Octopus of Odstock 2,186 Posted January 7, 2009 If anyone wants a sneak preview of this year's competitions - the scores, teams, who's dead & celeb pages are up: HOWEVER: Due to a submission problem, there are still around 40 or so teams who are to be added on at the next update. A lot of the 2008/2009 crossover needs finishing, the front page needs changing & the team placings need confirming & changing too. Time is at a premium between now & Tuesday, but I will endeavour, having got this far, to finish off the whole initial process on Tuesday, and then it's onto pics/hyperlinks/bios the usual...

Handrejka 1,903 Posted January 7, 2009 Kirk Douglas. Will we recognise the personal pick when we see it or will you let us know when all teams are in? Well, the pick is unique, so I better keep shtum for now. But yes, you will recognise the name They've not picked you have they? They bloody well have. Genius.

Guest Guest Posted January 7, 2009 I wonder who Armitage Shanks will have as the favourite for this most particular of races. Over to you Harry... Well well well Mr Black, I'm afraid I must refer you to my previous thoughts on the matter of gambling on a poor fellow's life. However, it appears that I was on to a winner when suggesting Mr End might triumph in 2008. I hope you all waded in at your local Ladbrokes. Not wanting to put the mockers on anyone I shall refrain from a selection this time, but good luck to you all in your bloodthirsty pursuit. A bientot, AP Shanks.

Well, if I was a bookie, The Living End would have to be the favourite, followed by Meet Your Maker. Godot (in his new moniker), Master Mind and Wormer are contenders...
