Octopus of Odstock 2,187 Posted January 1, 2012 Now its safe from any US based late entries my DDP 20 are: Rex Barrett, Wilfred Benitez, Anthony Bevilacqua, Sir Rhodes Boyson, Dora Bryan, Glafcos Clerides, Lee Evans, Robin Gibb, Etta James (JOKER), Wojejch Jaruzelski, Anker Joergensen, Winnie Johnson, John McDowall, Dom Mintoff, Roschus Misch, Mesrob Mutafyan II, Mike Porcaro, Roy Salvadori, Yitzhak Shamir, Dame Lesley Strathie Just looking at the teams so far, there's possibly a few unique picks there. I gave up with Al Megrahi and I'll have to see if that costs me. But let us also congratulate Devon Death Trip on a deserved victory. I am hopeful this year that I have a team capable of performing well. I feel like I've got a lot to prove. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
