Tomb raider 9 Posted February 11, 2010 Go on then MIB who is number 2? I think we all know who number 1 is. Chris Eubank? All my money was on al-Megrahi (2nd) or Biggs (3rd). I really don't know who turned out no. 1. Were there thát many DDP'ers who picked Rubinstein? The top 10 (according to MIB) thus far: 1. ???????????????????????? 2. Abdelbaset al-Megrahi 3. Ronnie Biggs 4. Fidel Castro 5. Sir Norman Wisdom 6. Kirk Douglas 7. Ariel Sharon 8. Billy Graham 9. Elizabeth Taylor 10. Zsa Zsa Gabor Edit: I cheated and checked on the DDP... but it's up to MIB to open the winners envelope. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't think of any other of the usual suspects who has not yet been mentioned, except maybe Michael Foot. My money is still on the milk snatcher though.

I'm aware that i'm getting sligh;ly impatient here but c'mon its nearly may! Running the DDP is a colossal task and TMIB has to balance a life into the equation too. I didn't get the Inane Analysis done until April last year, and that included a holiday to allow some time to devote to it. There's a never ending list of jobs to do and with so many picks and teams now, it takes so much time. Besides, hardly anyone reads it judging by the feedback. I told TMIB to do it last as he still has photos, the history and everything to update, as well as a busy year death-wise. You need to thank him that he was willing to take it over, otherwise there might not even be a DDP. It will all be done in time, and there's 8 months left of the year, so be patient. Considering you can't even take the time to spell correctly or write proper sentences, I'm not surprised you're impatient.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Inane analysis can actually be done if I get a few hours to do it. As for the History - blame me for being ambitious.

Only a quarter of the way through, but I am keeping track of the all the deaths so far in 2010 on a speadsheet. But you are going to have to wait for a bit longer.

Haven't found one thus far... Edit: the 8 points would make me shared no. 14 in the DDP! I'm so excited! Hmm, no obit yet. His funeral was yesterday, the pope himself attended the service, so I'm sure that at least one serious British news agency should have noticed... I found obits in American, French, Italian, Dutch, German, Australian and Arab Emirates (?!) media, where is the British one?
