Sharon will kick us off big style soon Going from the masterlist it looks like you got 365 for Baldwin in this.

Rotten Ali 600 Posted January 6, 2014 Big thanks going out to OoO, with the tip off that Brian Hart was very ill. Full credit to Brian for being a top notch engineer. I well remember the amount of stretch his firm took on back in 1981/82 trying to get Brian Henton and Derek Warwick onto the start grid with the straight 4 turbo engine. It was like David and Goliath, going up against Renault and Ferrari and he had lots of guts but only a tiny budget to work with. Not sure if I make it 360 or 361?

msc 18,476 Posted January 7, 2014 Run Run Shaw has died, which mean I've extremely uncharacteristically scored some points in this game. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted January 7, 2014 No date of death for Shaw yet, but I'm assuming today since we go on local time for date of death and it's been 7th January in Hong Kong for quite a while now. Points and scorers starting to stack up, eh? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bibliogryphon 9,586 Posted January 7, 2014 Hi I am going to replace Ronnie Biggs with the former MP John Freeman. I am also going to play a sub as I will be out of circulation over Christmas and you might need another replacement to make sure that I have a full team for the starting tape. That someone is snooker player Ali Carter. He was given the all clear for his testicular cancer yonks ago and his chrohns is not going to kill him any time soon. Weird/stupid choice. Thanks for the info. I had missed that update. But it is also irrelevent cos he wasn't needed to complete my starting line up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted January 11, 2014 We're smouldering rather than blazing away at the moment, just added Sharon's points. The most fancied joker is Billy Graham who has until Wednesday to deliver the big 700 point cash in. Still had a few carkers in the opening 11 days, so scoring at this rate we're well in the frame for someone to get a winning points total. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted January 12, 2014 Apologies to Ali, in the turmoil of totting up the teams I got Sharon listed twice. Ali surges into an early lead with 713 points, a third of the way to a winning total in 11 days! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted January 17, 2014 All gone quiet since the last post, and that mononous feel akin to the early jogging laps of another Mo Farah victory. So no 700 point jokers to cash in this year, then. Surely, we're due a points bonanza/biggie any day now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted January 25, 2014 Am I missing owt, or have we just had a totally pointless week? I can only apologise for the failure to deliver promised "fast, furious and f****** good fun festival of death usually provided by this competition. Maybe if it snows soon...

And now I've got my second hit with former tennis player Louise Brough Clapp... Can't find evidence of her death (yet) but since I'm gannin' out for a curry tonight I've assumed she's still cooling (5th Feb death) and provisionally added the points. Can someone post a url as soon as a decent online source reports the death, thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted February 9, 2014 All hail Uschi whose deft picking of an aged biddy who boffed a few tennis balls back in the day has provided the one moment of triumph in the totthering turgidity of the present competition. FFS, we've had winners around this time of year in previous deathraces. C'mon talent on the masterlist, get carking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted February 16, 2014 A deathless week in a dull dull race. A serious question to keep us amused for a bit. With 318 points on offer today (and the total dropping by one a day), will anyone actually hit the magic 2014 pts for the year? We've called winners before 16 Feb in previous Deathrace competitions. Current scoreboard: Maryportfuncity - 718 Rotten Ali - 713 Uschi - 669 MSC - 358 Toast - 358 Damon Killian - 354 Death Impends - 348 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
