gcreptile 11,118 Posted March 1, 2016 Interesting (?) how George Kennedy, Frank Kelly and Louise Plowright avoided February 29th... Wasn't Plowright getting treatment in Singapore? Thumbs up from me for the Scandinavian Theme Team "Ikea Nokia Lego" that I just discovered Also, someone already picked Athol Fugard... I wanted to get a unique hit with him in the future.

Spade_Cooley 9,641 Posted March 3, 2016 After Plowright and Crowe's departures, can anyone fagpacket who's the current DDP leader? Is it The Living End? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deathray 2,942 Posted March 3, 2016 Martin Crowe is my third hit, not bad for February given I only had 4 hits last year in total. Joker goes for a second year in a row as well. All rather different to the near hitless 485th place in my debut year which scored 4 points with Chapman Pincher a lone hit. Never going to trouble the top of the board, but nobody solely famous for being ill is something I take pride in. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deathray 2,942 Posted March 3, 2016 Question for TMB: If a theme team was to keep the same name but slightly broaden the scope for picks, for example if I took Cobbles to a Coffin from Actors to anybody whose worked on the show - would the years in DDP for it be reset or remain the same?

msc 18,565 Posted March 3, 2016 After Plowright and Crowe's departures, can anyone fagpacket who's the current DDP leader? Is it The Living End? Roughly Quantick 62 Sir Creep 61 Heading Nowhere 58 Thomas Jefferson 55 The Living End 54 Shameless 54 Pan Breed 52 I feel vain adding myself there, but if Joey Feek does go imminently as reports suggest, the joker bonus will see myself, DDT and Tommy Jefferson catch up on you and Sir Creep.

Spade_Cooley 9,641 Posted March 3, 2016 Ah that was it, I'd already processed Feek as dead in my head for some reason. Long work hours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,565 Posted March 3, 2016 If Feek goes next, TJI will be the new leader. All of the above have Jenny Diski (bar Shameless of course) so she wont change much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Impends 8,066 Posted March 3, 2016 Chorizo is ahead of me by a few points and has Feek in the joker slot as well, so he'd be the new leader with a prospective Feek demise I believe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
