Thanks Book, I'll have a trawl through and add to the Masterlist. If I have any queries, I'll let you know.

 

Astonishingly, there is one name on there that's on my DDP team. I never thought I'd see it mentioned. You know the drill, if YW has picked them, they will live.

Bad luck Book, Rose Marie bites the dust and becomes the second submitted entrant to die overall before the start.

Who was the 1st submitted entrant to die?

[Grim Up North 3,725]

Less than 3 days to go - moving in to Fergie time...

 

Time to release my 2018 leverets - team coming shortly.

 

EDIT: Now submitted

One team had King Michael.

[YoungWillz 21,037]

And now a shedload of work removing the Carmen Francos....

[msc 18,439]

Given I had her in the Hares Pool but not in the Hartlepool or Deathrace, shows what my prognosis of her chances were 24 hours ago. That was a sudden down turn. Like that dictator last Christmas, I forget his name now.

Good luck everyone!

I've raised some queries and eyebrows at your team gcreptile!

 

I'll wait hearing back from you...

[Grim Up North 3,725]

Tut, tut :-)

 

In the year Roger Moore died I appropriately got away with only one raised eyebrow.

[YoungWillz 21,037]

Right, I've sorted things out with gcreptile so 26 entries in.

 

This is looking like it's going to cost me come 2018/19!

 

More entries welcome, and the penultimate leaderboard will be posted around midnight GMT, just to heighten the excitement!

Sue Grafton died 28th Dec 2017 - not that I think many, if any, had her on their list. Bit of a shock to see she was 77 yrs old.
