Derby Dead Pool 2013

[Phantom 2,533]

Just sent mine in.

[Phantom 2,533]

Just sent mine in.

 

and I forgot to include any subs in the list. *grrrr*

[Lard Bazaar 3,799]

Done mine.

[Going Underground 74]

Not sent mine to TMIB yet but Tony Greig needs to come off my list.

 

Gutted

[Octopus of Odstock 2,186]

I've entered both my teams, one main, one theme. I was going to do it on New Year's Eve but have decided that I'll sit and relax and enjoy a lager than go on Google News all night and refresh every 10 minutes "terminally ill", "hospice" and "near death"

 

I am sure I am going to regret this but providing none of the 20 submitted die in the next 2 days, I've droped Bernie Nolan, Jaruzelski and at the very, very last minute, after changing my mind twice and eventually going with my gut feeling, Jalal Talabani. Time will tell if Pick 20 on my entry list pays dividends.

[Bert Trautmann 58]

Still haven't had confirmation for my theme team? Not fussed about that, just worried might my main team won't go through when I send it tomorrow...

 

EDIT: Nevermind, my fault, fixed it and main team and theme team sent off....cautiously optimistic about next year!

[Spade_Cooley 9,515]

Think... think I've settled on a 20 now. No Bush Sr, no Mandela. Controversial.

[Madame Defarge 21]

I sent mine in, using my own mail service, not Outlook. The team is Deadfellas.

[DevonDeathTrip 2,358]

I was planning to give my team some consideration this evening, but instead opted to drink much gin and construct a large goose from Lego.

 

I'll give it some more thought in the morning. Something isn't right with the beak.

[Death Impends 7,957]

Submitted my theme. My main roster'll be coming in tomorrow. (well, from where I am... guess the accurate perspective from the UK would be later today)

[Spade_Cooley 9,515]

Only four female members of my line-up. I think deadpooling needs to check its privilege.

[maryportfuncity 10,644]

Reet, I'm in. One main team, two theme teams, and I've sent yers a couple of pictures of new picks this year.

[Whitehouse 872]

Just sent in my team. Also not that many women. At least one of them in my list is the Joker.

 

First time ever. Is there a prize for rookies?

[CaptainChorizo 1,977]

Just sent in my main team and theme team.While my 2012 team was full of people from all over the globe and netted me hits from 8 people of 8 different countries, my main team in 2013 has 17 of the 20 from either the Usa or British Isles.

[Whitehouse 872]

Just sent in another list, this time theme team.

[Garn2 34]

Right, that's enough over-analysing and last-minute changes I'll probably regret. All in.

 

No Mandela, Misch or Biggs and I've probably fallen for some Lee Evans gambits, but in the words of Bush Jr.: "Fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again."

 

And thanks to TMIB for all the hard work; much appreciated.

[DevonDeathTrip 2,358]

My was submitted last night after I'd sobered up a bit. At the precise moment I pressed "send", the moon disappeared behind a cloud and I heard a dog howling in the distance. Spooky.

[Spade_Cooley 9,515]

[Rotten Ali 600]

I've just pulled Jim Garner and Billy Graham - you know what happens next...

 

I've just put them back in!

 

In fact a whole re-jig.

Theme team now only world leaders... I know it's being done by someone else but I've pulled all of them out of my main team...

Why?

I don't know?

Dumb thing to do!

[Toast 16,131]

I've just pulled Jim Garner and Billy Graham - you know what happens next...

 

[Death Impends 7,957]

My list has been submitted. Only two people older than 80. Decided not to go with Anne Williams in the end on the merit that there's enough ill people I'm more comfortable with picking. Also dropped Bernie Nolan at the last moment, instead putting her as my first alternate.

[welshman 31]

My team is in.

[Handrejka 1,903]

Mine are too, ever since the Suzman incident my teams remain unchanged apart from replacing those who snuffed it.

[deadsox 894]

I didn't get a confirming email when I submitted my team. Is there a problem or am I just paranoid?
