Dr. Zorders 1,271 Posted August 22, 2014 Although it would've been much better if she had been a unique pick but oh well... Yeah those sodding theme teams'll get ya, there should be a rule change about that, people deliberately pick obscure people for theme teams... it is only 3 points at the end of the day though.

Rotten Ali 600 Posted August 23, 2014 My theme team for 2015 is going to be "people who I think will die but won't get obituaries". Very brave, best of luck with that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deathray 2,941 Posted August 23, 2014 My theme team for 2015 is going to be "people who I think will die but won't get obituaries". That sounds like a sure fire winner; almost as sure-fire as my Serving Heads of State team; which at this rate will be a roll over with a altered name.

Banshees Scream 110 Posted August 24, 2014 I'm sitting back and thinking about the inevitiable here .. I'm livid. I'm sweating profusely and I don't know what the fuck to think here. I''ll probably end up screaming in my sleep but even if my team doesn't reappear I'll be here. The world today in 2014 .. has anything changed? If it has, I thought it was like that a few years ago. "You're fine as long as you ain't dead" so keep the forum alive and stay lively folks. Mary knows what it's about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deathray 2,941 Posted August 24, 2014 "All this depite being death from the age of eight. She died aged 101." Kathleen Ollerenshaw must have been a busy grim reaper with all that time in service, who's replacing her? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bibliogryphon 9,592 Posted September 4, 2014 One of my DDP picks is appearing in this year's Strictly Come Dancing. Sam Simon? It is actaully Steve Backshall and whilst he is poncing around with a fake tan he won't be heading off into the wilderness of Steve Irwin land. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Zorders 1,271 Posted September 5, 2014 re: former DDP pick Donatas Banionis who died yesterday, I was gonna say "That's one you can stick on the list of the lost right away" but then I realised he wasn't picked again this year. Probably doesn't even warrant an article on the Film4 website nevermind BBC or whatever. Although he did get one from the Onion's A.V. Club in the US. Shocking the people some expect to get qualifying obits sometimes... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deathray 2,941 Posted September 5, 2014 Any progress on your replacement yet tmib? it seems were creeping up ever closer to the run up to the next year to settle in you indicated in your departing missive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainChorizo 1,986 Posted September 5, 2014 Right now it looks certain for a record number of hits this year . At the same time 1st place could end up being a sub 100 point total thanks to the stubbornness of Valerie Harper,Wilko Johnson,Sam Simon and Rev Billy Graham.

Dr. Zorders 1,271 Posted September 5, 2014 We're up again... Your headline & caption for Attenborough really made me laugh. And I forgot he helped launched Channel 4, that's a lot more than BBC's shitty half-arsed TV report told me. (Obviously, muttered comments about whether that's a good thing or not will inevitably follow given what C4's been like over the last few years.) Also, I still think it's possible we could lose nearly half of the Drop Forty by the end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Book 3,561 Posted September 11, 2014 German showmaster and actor Joachim Fuchsberger died today at age 87.
