Grim Up North 3,725 Posted December 21, 2017 43 minutes ago, YoungWillz said: Deaths which might change everything: Leslie Phillips, Leah Bracknell; Ted Mack; Simon Ricketts. Of course, if Stephen Hawking dies on 31 December, you are probably unbeatable without someone else hitting two or three before then... I can do better than that - if we are only talking one death (and it isn't on 31st December) then only the following deaths win it for Sean Diana Athill, Jacques Chirac, Olivia de Havilland, Paul Gascoigne, Rev Billy Graham, Douglas Hurd, Terry Jones, Leslie Phillips. TUM Leah Bracknell, George HW Bush, Javier Perez de Cuellar, Valerie Harper, Glynis Johns, Yasuhiro Nakasone, Isabel Peron, Ian St John, Dick van Dyke. Death Impends Ted Mack - but only if he dies after Christmas So I have a very special list of 18 people (plus family, friends,colleague, fellow death listers obviously) who I'm hoping will see 2018. I'm fine with Simon Ricketts dying provided he doesn't do it on 31st of December and he is the only death. If it is on 31st or there are multiple deaths then scrub all the above.

YoungWillz 21,037 Posted December 23, 2017 I'll have a look at this and add to the Masterlist. You'll need to nominate a Joker who will earn double points on their demise. If I have any queries, I'll come back to you. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,037 Posted December 23, 2017 Ok, that's 11 entries so far. With the expected value of the pound to drop after the Brexit negotiations late in 2018, charity isn't going to benefit by very much, but I know more are on their way, so lemme have them.

YoungWillz 21,037 Posted December 24, 2017 Another reminder. With a week to go, teams can still be submitted up to the deadline of 23:59 GMT on 31 December. Is Grim Up North ill? Haven't had his countdown for a day or two... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is Grim Up North ill? Haven't had his countdown for a day or two... No although my 'leading a dead pool' twitch is getting worse by the day. i thought the countdown was becoming tiresome so stopped however we're down to 8 days and counting now - it's very distracting! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,439 Posted December 27, 2017 No wrath here, you're the boss. Besides, by removing Fringes players before sending you it, I'd already made the decision not to see if [name for DDP] was acceptable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
