2013 DDP Dumping Ground And Salvage Lot

Recommended Posts

Clive James because I saw his cancer was in remission. And he seems to be a fighter. Whitlam and Finney wound up in sub spots.

 

I hummed and hawwed over Mick McManus (that doc and them finding his match almost guarantees him an obit if he wasn't already sure of one) but in the end I went against him: he's old, and no one knows exactly what his illness is.

 

Lee, Coase, Worsthorne, Garner, Noriega, Wilson, Philips and Rainer were dropped from the 2012 team, so most of them will probably wind up dying now.

I dropped Big Ron Atkinson & our local MP, 'Tricky' Richard Shepherd.

 

Big Ron has been doing a lot of media recently, & seems as spritely as ever. Tricky has been knighted in the New Years honours list, & although does look like death warmed up in the flesh, he'll be soldiering on for many years yet.

I stuck Jaruzelski, Stanley Baxter and Dick Van Dyke on the reserves bench, so they may be promoted onto one of my teams for 2014. Unless something happens to them in the meantime.

I had been pondering Mick McManus and Richard Davies (Welsh actor off of Please Sir and Bottle Boys) but completely forgot about them when compiling the final lists. Again, maybe next time...

I'd been pondering over Richard Davies too but like you, when it came down to submitting a team I forgot about him. I did the same last year with banjo Barney, who duly died in April.

Stanley Baxter looked very well on the programme about him last night. Wise to leave him off I think.

I don't think he's the "man in his 80s" going doolally in the Priory...

How could you be sure Handy?

He has spent the bulk of his career dressing up as other people.

Are you sure he wasnt made up to look like somebody who was old but well? :)

I can't believe I didn't pick Chavez as my joker.

 

Took him as captain in one 'pool, and after listening to a r4 prog this morning the whole of the Fukushima 50 workers might be worth a thread of their own.

Not just after the high radiation doses suffered, but they are almost shunned by society now, which combined with overwhelming guilt and the Japanese fondness for suicide, could lead to rich pickings in the future.

With the sense of loyalty/association with their Companies, they have guilt over the incident, and landlords etc are turning them down for houses etc because of the association.

Last year I picked Asil Nadir on the assumption that he'd returned to face the music as he was on the way out. Clearly this wasn't the case, so he was unceremoniously dropped in favour of Bernard Haitink;

 

Tony Book was dropped because he seems too well, in favour of the 2nd Countess Mountbatten of Burma, Patricia Knatchbull.

Last minute agones for me with regard to Evelyn Ward (David Cassidy's mum), knew she was nailed-on and posted as much last year but unsure about anything obit worthy. Good call as it turned out because she died on 23 December and it took us a while to realise.

 

Also worrying to the last about Shane MacGowan and Hans Christian Rausing, both of whom I do believe are self-destructive to the point of being public suicides but not, neccessarily, nailed-on for 2013. MacGowan and Christine Ray were down to near-enough a coin toss for me, and she won. She looks certain death for 2013 but the obit chances are marginal.

Legendary english actor Earl Cameron was a last minute drop for me. Turns 96 this August but i have a hunch he will be around for a couple more years.

I never even considered that. I notice he lives in Berkshire.

Chip Hawkes, The Tremeloes' lead singer after Brian Poole and, more importantly, father of Chesney, has had to pull out of those SOUNDS OF THE 60S tours that fill up provincial theatres nationwide, as he's been battling a form of blood cancer. He seems optimistic, though.

And, whilst researching some other candidates for updates also cancer free are Ben Richards, Ron Hynes and Scott Thompson.

I will explode if Zhuang Zedong dies... Now that he's off my team and a unique for DDT. I dropped him because I read that his treatment was going very well.

Please, there really is no need to combust on my account. Try to remain calm at all times. :)

 

I read that ZZ wasn't doing too well last September, so I thought I'd give him a run out in my team. I'm a bit worried about his obit chances though.

I decided against Ryan Buell and Ethan Zohn (although I did keep Zohn onboard as an alt) because of age and obit chances (the latter being more true for Buell). I decided against Castro because I didn't feel that his chances of dying this year were all that high. I feel like I should have gotten Patty Andrews though- I feel like I should have switched out somebody like Ali or Mary Tyler Moore for her. I also somewhat regret not making Chavez my joker, as I do feel like he's going to croak this year.

...I guess we read different articles... I still think he would pull the obit.

 

 

 

and ps. SchindlerHaughton... last time I checked Ethan seems to be doing fine. Unless he's just lying. Which I dont really think he'd do though.
