Spade_Cooley 9,527 Posted June 2, 2010 Also Matt Smith was in my sixth form psychology class and while I can just about cope with him earning millions on a TV show I've never watched, seeing him as your avatar brings on a fit of self-loathing depression in me.

Well, while we're name-dropping I used to work in a chip shop with a total knob that was once an extra in Casualty. Beat that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
888-333 12 Posted June 14, 2010 Urr... Sorry but is it time you have updated the history section? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
themaninblack 2,112 Posted June 14, 2010 Urr... Sorry but is it time you have updated the history section? All in good time. I'm on the verge of completing my review of the entire scoring history of the DDP, covering 14 years and over a thousand teams. When I'm satisfied over it's versimilitude, then I shall bring forth the update. Then I'll look at doing the inane analysis... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toast 16,140 Posted June 14, 2010 I see you have Egon Ronay as dying in Bray. He is reported to have died at his home, which would be Yattendon, West Berkshire (the nicer end of the county). I did consider putting him in my team as I was aware he was very frail, but I do try to avoid the 90+ candidates. Did not expect him to be a unique pick, and he wasn't. He will be missed.

I was struggling to find out where he actually died, so Bray was an educated guess. I'm not sure where Andy Ripley died either... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Estuarian Float 97 Posted July 3, 2010 Just curious for the opinion of someone whos been in the deathpool community much longer...By looking at my current DDP team and standing, what would you say I could expect for the second half of the year? 1.

Octopus of Odstock 2,197 Posted July 4, 2010 Times obit for Margaret Delacourt-Smith just in case it's been missed. It's probably also been mentioned somewhere else but Guillet has an obit from the Telegraph. (1st July edition) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Estuarian Float 97 Posted July 28, 2010 Almost ALL of my deadpool hits have come at a day in the late-20s of a month. Zelda Rubinstein -Jan 27 Gary Coleman -May 28 Dennis Hopper -May 29 Algirdas Brazauskas -Jun 26 So, Im hoping for one right about now... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tomb raider 9 Posted August 5, 2010 As mentioned in the oscar-winners-thread: Robert F. Boyle died. A unique pick and 7 points for me! I did not yet manage to find a proper UK obit, but I'm sure one will show up shortly. Any reference to the death of Paul cardinal Mayer in a UK national newssource would be appreciated as well. It would bring me into the top-50 and it would prove my life to be worth living. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rotten Ali 600 Posted August 12, 2010 It's been a long time in coming but the Inane Analysis is finally been brought forth to you all... Very good - but it must take you a load of time to undertake this task, let alone the rest of the pool. How about making it necessary next year - if a pick being put forward in the contestants team (to try and use the unique bonus) is not already noted in the previous years competition, that entry also should have supporting data (such as Date of Birth, Nationality, Occupation & simple photo supplied with the entry.
