Spade_Cooley 9,536 Posted December 29, 2015 Problem is that it's not just Brave Inspirational Cancer Battlers who message to have their details removed... who was that opera tenor who complained to the DDP a few years back and insisted T-Mib add a line to his bio saying that he did not have cancer and wasn't dying?

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted December 29, 2015 I'm surprised Lemmy was picked by just the 1 team in 2015 as he was in a few for 2016. They had a better handle on his health than he did! Well there's been chatter about Lemmy before. You can't exactly expect someone to drop dead two days after diagnosis though. I too am surprised in DDP only one team had him though, with theme teams and all that beg just to fill up a roster. Not sure if there's a bass players theme team but would there have been Lemmy would have been Joker. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Death Impends 7,979 Posted January 1, 2016 Granted DDT was the one who lost the lead at the last minute, so I was braced for not winning for a few months now. TBH just the fact that I managed to enter DDT/Spade territory is enough for me, my research has been less vigorous it feels so doubt I'll be as much a challenge for '16 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lard Bazaar 3,799 Posted January 1, 2016 Top work as ever Spade. But I think you'll agree it's time to pass the mantle on. To me. I never won anything at primary school. I came second in the obstacle race when I was 7. That was my greatest achievement until our secondary school leavers awards, where I won Biggest Hair (I had a particularly attractive pineapple style - short back and sides and very long and spiky on top à la Robert Smith) and scooped a joint award for Loudest Mouth with my best friend Sarah. She's still my best friend. And we still have big mouths. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,978 Posted January 1, 2016 Congratulations to the winners, especially Spade. A truly impressive feat, even if he got a little lucky. But you've still got to get to a position where luck makes a difference first. I would have liked to see Death Impends win, for diversity. But it wssn't meant to be. I did like Spade's riskier choices though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Windsor 2,233 Posted January 3, 2016 The real winner of 2015 was Going Underground, on account of the fact that whoever they are they are not a cheating bastard by making low-hanging, unfamous, young, cancer-stricken, tragedy magnets their joker.

YoungWillz 21,055 Posted January 3, 2016 Now the competition is officially closed, I would like to add my congratulations to Spade and also to Theme Team winner Red Flag. As a first time entrant last year, I expected nothing less than equal last, and my expectations were fully realised! Thanks again to TMIB for front page entertainment all year, and I do hope that the change in domain is not going to affect the competition adversely in 2016. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
