Spade_Cooley 9,542 Posted September 9, 2013 Think I made my first dead pool team when I was... 15? I know that Bill Maynard was on it because he was in the papers for being ill at the time. Fifteen years later and the cunt's still with us. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bibliogryphon 9,592 Posted October 23, 2013 This is a fascinating interview from yesterdays Independent with someone who could be described as a professional deadpooler. Lucky bastard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,658 Posted August 11, 2016 OK. Is there anyone on this forum who would describe their ethnic heritage as anything but white? I'm an unholy collision of every down-trodden white heritage from my part of the world (skint Ulstermen who thought west Cumbria an improvement, farm labourers etc.) So I might describe it as "shite" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,483 Posted August 11, 2016 Who deadpools? From what I was once told, seemingly lots of MPs, advisors, types like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't see why ethnicity would play a part in whether someone dead pools I don't think it does but from what I can gather there is no-one on here who doesn't come from a Judeo-christian Caucasian background. I am not saying that there is a causal link but I wanted to know if I was mistaken. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If TMIB is up for it sending out a survey to each entrant for next year's DDP to get demographic stats could be interesting. It'd be far more accurate than asking on here.

maryportfuncity 10,658 Posted August 11, 2016 By and large, dead poolers would probably score higher than the national average for IQ and level of qualifications. Probs more male than female too IMHO anyway 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,658 Posted August 11, 2016 Most of us are just list fanatics with a interest in celebrity culture, let's be honest? Oddly, I'm neither of those. More someone who finds the humour hereabouts cathartic and useful and - as for dead pooling - I got hooked because I did okay in the first ones I entered and enjoyed the collision of hard headed logic and guesswork. My fellow inmates at Broadmoor like it more because they can vividly picture the final moments of those they select 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,542 Posted August 11, 2016 Not so much an interest in celebrity culture as an interest in post-celebrity culture. If you find the fact that Frankie Lymon and Bobby Driscoll died within a month of each other worthy of note, then you'll probably find comfort in this hobby. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,483 Posted August 11, 2016 When I was much younger I read a book of urban legends from the library which mentioned the whole Academie francaise betting on which of their members would be the next to snuff it legend. (I paraphrase from memory, this was a long time ago.) Naturally, and curiously, I wrote a list of really old famous people I thought would be likely to die soon after. The only names I remember from that list were Alec Guinness and Verity Lambert, neither of whom died that year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
