themaninblack 2,112 Posted January 24, 2013 Yes it needs to be the co.uk website to qualify... Well technically it is a co.uk obit. Note the URL. couldn't see the link as I was on my smartphone. Well the rules don't have to say its in English does it? I think thats a hit on a technicality. Good thinking, Batman! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Predictor 1,018 Posted February 8, 2013 Getting worried now....There's still no picture nor information about Earl Cameron on the site. lf he really is that unknown (despite recieving a CBE), then he will probably not get an obit from a newspaper.....

No, it's just that I haven't got round to doing it yet. Busy man at the moment so time to do these things is relatively short. But you can help by sending me a pic and precis and he'll be up in no time! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Octopus of Odstock 2,103 Posted February 17, 2013 Also in terms of former DDP picks now dead, I don't think Richard Artschwager was put in the List of the Missed. He was part of an art theme team when I ran it, so it would be c. 2009 I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Octopus of Odstock 2,103 Posted February 23, 2013 Lisa Maree O'Hara, picked by one team, died on the 5th January 2013 - http://tributes.heraldsun.com.au/obituaries/heraldsun-au/obituary.aspx?pid=162207357#fbLoggedOut - should be listed under "O". No valid UK obituary yet, and judging by the time now passed, probably isn't going to get one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Impends 7,811 Posted February 23, 2013 Since this thread's just been posted in I might as well make mention that two theme teams weren't attributed as such: The Pope (cardinals) and Kentucky Fried Genocide (like in years past, oldest Oscar nominees) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rotten Ali 600 Posted March 1, 2013 If everyone can keep up with their current pace from the first 2 months it means I will have 24 hits and finish tied for 10th place at the end of the year. After adding Cliburns death to the equation Bad maths... How can you score 24 out of 20? But my bad maths says that there is just less than a one in a million chance that more than one team can get a full house list of twenty dead DDP. Then it will come down to points tally that favours the team with younger picks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lard Bazaar 3,782 Posted March 6, 2013 I totally fucking hate her - however, a few years ago, it was my sister's 40th birthday, so I asked her if she could do anything for her 40th what would it be, and she said 'to go and see a West End show and stay in a hotel and all that' - so I booked us tickets to go and see Chicago and stay over in London. It wasn't until a short while before we went that I realised that Bonnie Langford was playing the role of Roxie Hart. That, coupled with the fact that I really am not a musicals person, made me think oh for fuck's sake why can't I just go to the pub while my sister watches the show - but actually I really enjoyed it and Bonnie Langford was really good. In that. Nothing else. I still hate the ginger bitch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rotten Ali 600 Posted March 9, 2013 Nice to have the points update however my own vertigo is suppressed by the dumb removal of world leaders from my main team and the all too predictable death of Chavez. OoO really looks too strong, even from here, to me all his remaining live team members are deep in mire health wise and he is to garner just too many more to make in virtually impossible to match that level of Deadpool play.
