CaptainChorizo 1,908 Posted October 22, 2015 In order to avoid accusations of post whoring I decided to post this here as this is an issue for the DDP other wise I would have started The Names the Same thread. These are people who are on my radar who may be confused with each other. Frank Williams - Formula 1 team owner (b.1942) or Vicar from Dad's Army (b. 1931) Kenneth Baker/Kenny Baker - Conservative Politician/ R2-D2 both born 1934 Rosemary Harris - Children's writer b.1923/ Actress who played Spiderman's Auntie b. 1927/ American mystery writer Mary Wilson/Mari Wilson - Harold Wilson's widow b.1916/Former Supreme b.1944/British singer (Telephone Man) b.1954 Terrence Dicks/Terry Dicks - Former Doctor Who script editor and novelist (b.1935)/Former Conservative MP (b. 1937) Bob Harris/Robert Harris - Whispering DJ (b.1946)/ Novelist - Fatherland (b.1957) Michael Moore - Hectoring Canadian film maker (b.1954)/ LD politician (b.1965) Angus Deayton/Angus Deaton - Cocaine taking, whoring television presenter (b.1956)/Nobel Prize winning economist (b.1945) There are probably loads more but these are the ones on my radar. William Perry is both a former secretary of Defense under Bill Clinton and also in the Usa well known former football player called William "The Refridgerator" Perry. Both seem highly likely to be picked one because he is in 80s the other because of obesity and other health problems Nathan Williams is an American musician in the Indy Rock band Wavves and a Welsh Rugby Player albeit both of them are pretty young and seem unlikely picks Then there is Joe Jackson singer of 80's hits" Stepping Out"" Breaking Us In Two" etc and also Michael Jackson's dad Also Tony Bennett the well known easy listening singer and also Tony Bennett the college basketball Coach at Virginia Richard Williams (Tennis Player Venus and Serena's dad) and also animator who won 2 Oscars for Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

Dr. Zorders 1,269 Posted October 31, 2015 How about actually removing her from the game and doing the same if similar picks get requests, therefore discouraging people to cause you trouble by choosing them in the first place? Is this the 1st time you or another host has removed picks or not, I can't recall. Either way it's about time we had some sensible measures for fuck's sake. All these little bottom-feeding Spade wannabes... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 19,183 Posted November 10, 2015 ^^Least of your worries TMIB, I'm sure. New rules, next competition entries about to come in, scoreboards etc. I forgot to pick a celebrity death. At least I'm not alone down there on "nul points", now hoping a few weeks out from the next competition that I keep the clean sheet. First year, joint last - a share of the wooden spoon - that'll do for me, one less team to worry about compiling next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
