gcreptile 10,305 Posted February 14, 2016 Rowena Kincaid talks about... no... to her cancer: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/brave-woman-battling-terminal-cancer-7371438 It sounds as if her current chemo cycle will be her last, and then she's going to be waiting for death, because it looks like nothing can be done anymore. But she's defiant and of a similar age to Joey Feek. So she may be around for a couple of months yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,075 Posted February 19, 2016 Anyone on here select Harper Lee? Surely, but I didn't. Just had a look at all my main dead pool teams and realised it's a curse of running a dead pool that you're over-burdened with work at the key selection time. On reflection she'd have been a decent HPDP punt and probs more likely to cash in than Kate Granger, say. I mean, obviously, she has cashed in, but you get my drift. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 19,417 Posted February 20, 2016 Eric Lubbock... Thanks TMIB, in that case I did predict it right on the poll question thread! Huzzah! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 17,861 Posted February 20, 2016 If my maths is correct, Lord Avebury is 99th, not 100. I did a count up of 2006-2013 to make sure it hit 79, which it did. He's then had 20 hits since January 1st 2014 Lynda Bellingham Katherine Crowe Sally Farmiloe Felix Glenny Jaruzelski Gerard Mortier Anas al-liby Ben Benmosche Colin Bloomfield Jim Ed Brown Francis George Michael C Gross Lauren Hill Denise Marshall Sam Simon Ion Trewin Rene Angelil Phil Gartside Aden Hailu Eric Lubbock Which takes him to 99.

msc 17,861 Posted February 20, 2016 On less obsessive compulsive territory, 5th place, 5 hits and 10 points off Spade in February? I'm going to pretend I'm in a title race here.. while I can. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

themaninblack 2,112 Posted February 20, 2016 Hmmm, I could have sworn he was on 96 before 2016 began and he's had 4 hits since. Indeed somebody told me he had 96... I think I know where I went wrong. dammed jr commas, that's what! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
themaninblack 2,112 Posted February 20, 2016 I've checked - it was 95 before the start of 2016. The big event will have to wait. Strike it from the record... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
themaninblack 2,112 Posted February 20, 2016 Ironically enough I only added that accolade in the last minute when I realised what I thought was his 100th hit would pass unnoticed. The wait goes on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 19,417 Posted February 20, 2016 *huzzah dies* On the other hand, I've been playing DDP now for nearly 14 months without one hit - a record? Possibly not, but I may even see the year out without a hit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
