Sir Creep 7,070 Posted January 17, 2016 Wow!! What a a achievement I bow to you. I can confirm Hassan Asif was 25 as according to articles in November and January he was stated as 24 then 25 so let's say Dec 1 or so was his birthday. Anyway you got it right at 25. SC Edit: TMIB heads up you have separate listings for Eddie Edwards and Edwin Edwards but it's the same guy. Guvnuh uv Loozeeann SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lard Bazaar 3,799 Posted January 17, 2016 Top work as ever MIB. Annoyed to see that Edward Ashmore was not a unique, I was convinced my insider knowledge had done me a favour on that one!

Lard Bazaar 3,799 Posted January 17, 2016 It's amazing what you can learn when trawling through other teams - for instance, whilst I did know that Gina Yashere is not very funny and mentions her Nigerian mother quite a lot, I had no idea she's a tuppence licker. Every day's a school day with the Derby Dead Pool! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Garn2 34 Posted January 17, 2016 Whole In Won get the Diana Rots memorial trophy for this season. What? Diana Rots was a team a few years ago made up pretty much entirely of unique/obscure survivors from the previous year's top 10. Whole in Won appears to have a team entirely of survivors from Spade, DDT and Death Impends' teams from last year. Great work as always TMIB. One thing I saw, I think Kentucky Fried Genocide and Lullabye-bye of Broadway both meant Rosemary Harris the actress, not the author. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,964 Posted January 17, 2016 Thanks for the update, great work! Aahh... the lead for me, lol! I know it won't get much better than this for me this year. At some point my theme team will run out of obitable people, because the later they die, the unlikelier the obit. But my little provocation worked! I guess I need two more hits for the theme team crown. Doable, but not a sure thing. No previous theme team winner reached 60 points, so I guess that's what is needed, but then again, this year will be an absolute record year so who knows...

gcreptile 10,964 Posted January 17, 2016 Also, yay! Pierre Boulez a unique hit! If Michel Delpech gets his obit that could turn out to be a very significant boost. Top 10 was my goal. But yeah, I'd really like a top 5 position. I see someone else picked Jackie Storrar. Boo! Though, of course, the obit is dicey, again. On the other hand, I did not expect the Joey Feek story to explode that much as the year went on. So who knows what's in store for Storrar. Somehow I have 3 female country singers in my main team, funny, at least for me... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,964 Posted January 17, 2016 My B team has 6 uniques, more than I expected. Noone else picked Ross Hannaford? Here, the obit is relatively likely. And Jim McLean, let's see how significant a one-sentence note about how he is relatively ill these days turns out to be... Similarly, Roh Tae-Woo. When the other South Korean president died, one article noted his absence from the public for 10 years. Could be significant, or not... Nikolaus Harnoncourt also a unique hit. People don't like to pick classical musicians it seems, even though their obits are 100% certain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,437 Posted January 17, 2016 All we need is Joey Feek to head to Jesus, and a Delpech obit, and Spade will have 62 points in January. I'd just like to point out that Pan Breed has had its greatest ever start (19 points with Angelil and Smith), as both hits have come faster than my previous fastest ever success, Etta James in 2012. (Not counting Rafferty and Lubbock in 2011, as they were ineligible...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Book 3,551 Posted January 17, 2016 Thank you very much TMIB, great work! And thanks for the nice comments at my teams. I hope you will be right! But again it will be difficult for all my theme team picks to obit in the UK. Last year they were no obits for Wiedemann and Bossi, this year starts with no obit for Leuwerik Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
