Derby Dead Pool 2010

He changed it to Nelson Mandela Must Die in 2008, but he didn't & then they didn't compete in 2009 (probably in a huff because of it). Not sure if they are back for 2010, but I know when I was still running it, then were emailing to say they were interested in the 2010 game...

Any early indications of '????? Must die' entering a team this year?

 

Hope it's 'Jonathan Ross must die'. Not got him in my DP but i just wish he would die.

Well his career might have done... :)

 

I don't want to give too much away before the big reveal (sometime tonight folks!)

 

In the meantime, let's revisit The Dying of 2010 - the top ten deadpooling candidates as chosen by the great unwashed:

 

And at Number 8 is...

Billy Graham

 

Wherein lies your answer as for who as taken the title of 'Must Die' for 2010...

Another year of disappointment for Lard? How dare you sir!

 

Just to be pedantic, it says on my team that my best performance was 138th in 2007 - I actually MULLERED that position last year by hitting the dizzy heights of 101st. Do keep up :)

Just my little joke, Lard on account of you often writing off your chances..;)

 

Takes a bit of time updating 465 teams y'know...

Well done TMIB :) - I'm pleased with five unique picks, hopefully at least one of them will come up with the goods. Mrs DDT is mortified that someone else has picked Anthea Turner, she's convinced her number will be up this year.

A wonderful job, MIB! I'm quite happy with my three unique picks ánd of course with my joker (Jean of Luxembourg).

I have to say I was surprised to find 7 uniques in my team - I would have assumed that Snowdon, Holm and Hoggart would have picked by others, but there you have it...;)

I'm quietly confident this year that I will be top ten.......well, actually, let's be honest - I've got more chance of getting scuttled by Daniel O'Donnell. But I got one unique pick!

Likewise, I believe I finished just outside the top 20 last year .... don't expect to do as well this time so it will be nice to see that achievement marked.

 

But jolly well done for getting it all on so quick.

Well done, TMiB.

 

My team's got four unique picks, I'm surprised to learn.

 

Nice write-up on Miep Gies. DL, it's not just entertainment...

 

Will you be needing assistance in finding pretty pictures of new picks?

 

regards,

Hein

Horribly, I seem (by a mixture of holidays, illness, BT internet and lack of flexibility) to have missed DDP this year by 40 minutes. However FYI, my choices that would have been 'Wake Up and Smell the Coffin' this year are;

 

1 - Joker - Abdelbaset al Megrahi

2 - Colin Dexter

3 - Rev Billy Graham

4 - Ronnie Biggs

5 - Licia Albanese

6 - George Whitman

7 - Yunus-Bek Yevkurov

8 - Kim-jong il

9 - Peter Ackroyd

10 - Wayne Thiebaud

11 - Hans Werner Henze

12 - James Grout

13 - Reg Simpson

14 - Trevor Bailey

15 - Roy Tattersall

16 - Inge Borkh

17 - Lisa Della Casa

18 - Doke Umarov

19 - Thwan Shwe

20 - Blanche Thebom

 

I wouldn't have won, and all the best to whoever does.

Bravo MIB for such efficient posting up of the teams. The fact that I have such a large number of unique picks doesn't surprise me in the least as most of them will probably still be alive in 30 years' time.

Yes but the Outlook server is doing it's usual thing of not sending it out! :)

 

Later on I'll copy the message and send it through Yahoo, but first, I must add another team which I over looked in the loading process *sigh*...

Guest Hmm ..

There are some very impressive teams this year. But still, they probably won't be able to outmatch DL's finest.

 

It seems that quite a few teams from last year are missing. Do you know of any teams who have changed their names?

Some have but they're not any of the 'biggies'...

 

I don't know what's happened to some of the contenders from last year. Godot we all know about. He has retired from dead pools

and the like.

 

Ethnic Cleansing, Heaven Knows, No Noose also no shows...

 

Still, opens things up, doesn't it? :)

Not to mention the actual DeathList.net entry...

 

Anyway, a fair few theme teams this year. "Wretched Hive Of Scum And Villainy" is the pick of them I think. On that subject, TMIB, for your records, it could be a massive coincidence but I'm fairly sure "Can't Sleep, Clown Will Eat Them" is a Simpsons theme team.

I should think "Scottish Squid Bricklaying Alamo Volunteers" is one of us...

 

I'm sure Godot is still taking part, TMIB

Actually, I think Ethnic Cleansing will be in DDP 2010 as I've uncovered another couple of emails. They were late, but within my absolute deadline of 11am 01/01...

 

Deathlist will be there too, as there is a 'gentlemans' agreement...

 

In fact, bollocks to it, deadline or no deadline, I'm going to put in the ones who came in after 01/01 as well, because I have knickers in a twist over this one...

 

Spead the word, I'm open to entries until midnight tonight. After that, then definitely, definitely no more....

 

Twelvetrees...yer in! ;)
