Pistol Knight 49 Posted May 25, 2014 Bugger...never any good at sweep stakes....had him down for D Day 6th-June. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Steve Posted May 25, 2014 Good on you, brilliant DL Committee members for including Jaruzelski last year, but excluding him this year. Instead you chose to include total unknowns like Wilko Johnson, Chris Woodhead and Joost van der Westhuizen. How about we remove some DL Committee members?

Guest Guest Posted May 25, 2014 Oh well at least now he's finally dead we don't have to rely on those dodgy Polish news sites that google translate can't make head or tails of ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Instead you chose to include total unknowns like Wilko Johnson, Chris Woodhead and Joost van der Westhuizen. How about we remove some DL Committee members? Now now.......... (and by that I mean, yes, now, let's do it now) No, this is a setback or something....... actually I'll let them make their own excuses. But there's still lots of quality names on there. Remember everyone in October last year thought we were destined to end up with only 8 or 9 or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Remember everyone in October last year thought we were destined to end up with only 8 or 9 or something. I always look to 2003 for inspiration. Took till march for the first hit, didn't get the 4th hit till mid june, but ended up on a record breaking 14. Billy Graham can't last much longer surely ,and it's all gone really quiet on the Nancy Reagan front so she must be on her last legs.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean 6,365 Posted May 25, 2014 Third hit of the DDP not a bad first year so far ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phantom 2,550 Posted May 25, 2014 3rd hit in the DDP and I guessed the correct date he'll go. I picked May 25th for two reasons, 1. I was going on how long it took people like Suharto to go once their health went into a steep decline and 2. May 25th was the only date close enough that hadn't been taken yet. I almost picked the 24th Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toast 16,232 Posted May 25, 2014 I dropped him from my DDP team after he turned 90. Just a personal rule. I think I may have him on some other teams though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
