Derby Dead Pool 2006

Recommended Posts

Korchnoi is quite mad...however wouldn't rate him as a likely death .

I certainly wouldn't pick Timman (unless you have insider info...aids ? ) ....I actually saw him (Brighton I think) in early 80s at the British Champs (we were both spectating ) . He had 2 groupies with him (1 on each arm) ...and clearly was enjoying a full and active life in those days .

Benko is knocking on a bit tho isn't he ? Might be worth keeping an eye on him...

Mr Grobler,

 

Was 1. g4 named after you?

 

Oh, and how's your health?

 

:rip:

Mad, well, perhaps. In any case Korchnoi is a chess maniac. Several years ago my home town organised simuls against six or so grandmasters, one of them Korchnoi. He finished more than an hour after the other simuls were done, with a score of 40 out of 40.

 

He's 74 and still active, so I don't expect him to cark it anytime soon, but he won't last forever, will he?

Again I don't expect Timman to die in the near future, but he seems to be aging rapidly. Also his life style isn't particularly healthy.

Benko is knocking on a bit tho isn't he ? Might be worth keeping an eye on him...

He's 77 and no longer active in the game.

 

regards,

Hein

No it wasn't...though I do play it often on the internet...

my health is not good...lots of medication to control blood pressure and high cholestrol

Gave up running in 2000 after nearly suffering brain aneurism....

 

and I've got a touch of a sore throat.... :rip:

changing tack...is there a thread to discuss Shane McGowan ?

If he REALLY is going into Celebrity BB in 36 mins time...

1. I wanna watch it cos he will be brill...

2.How will he survive not drinking?...Shurely there's some possibilities here in the coming days (as long as we keep voting for him ! )

McGowan is one of my picks in Handrejka's PoolofDeath,

 

I hope he's in celeb BB, he'd be worth watching.

 

Of course the show would need subtitles otherwise nobody will have a clue what he's saying.

Here is my team - named The Living End

 

Henry Allingham

Abu Musab al-Zarqawi

Ronnie Biggs

Ross Davidson

Nick Du Toit (joker)

Michael Foot

Gerald Ford

Zsa Zsa Gabor

Stephen Hawking

Saddam Hussein

Lady Bird Johnson

Jean-Marie Le Pen

Jerry Lee Lewis

Jim Molyneaux

Prince Philip

Ferenc Puskas

Yves St Laurent

Jeremy Thorpe

King Taufa'ahau Tupou IV

Chad Varah

 

I can't believe I'm the only one who picked Nick Du Toit, he's wasting away and been denied any healthcare.

 

I was going to pick Ellen McArthur just out of spite, but went for Zsa Zsa Gabor at the last minute. I will be most annoyed if Miss MacArthur choses this year to fall out of a boat in the Stormy South Seas

I'm getting a horrible sinking feeling that having missed Sharon & Rawls AND declining to pick Rees, that my 17th place last year might return to mid-table obscurity this year - we shall see.

 

What a DDP day though - 5 in a day - that's a record, surely? (Squire, Skate, Rawls, Rees & Miura (to come))

Lou Rawls was picked by a total of 34 teams, of which 17 of them, including deathlist.net, had him as their joker.

One hit for me, not the joker though.

 

I'm sure Mr. Pinter will oblige the honour that I and a few others have given him soon enough though...

Lou Rawls was my DDP joker,

 

An excellent start, now if only some of my oldies will oblige as well.

I was planning on putting Lou as my joker, but forgot to change it since it automatically selects the first one. I ended up with Tammy Faye as my joker, hopefully the lung cancer will take care of her just like it did with Mr. Rawls.

Shall I be the one to tell you that not only has Charlie Watts' cancer gone into remission, but that he has resumed touring with the Stones? ;)

Tempus don't say Cat or Kat in any shape or form. It brings me down

sometimes because not only did the DL miss Shelly Winters but I miss

my friend Kat dearly.

 

It's all my fault I think. :lol:

She was one of mine as well. Along with Lou Rawls. This could be a good year...
