Death Impends 7,991 Posted May 26, 2016 Death Slam Form Guide #26 Sumner Redstone The brash Viacom honcho, 93 before the Death Slam commences, has led a checkered life including surviving a hotel blaze before starting his media empire. Though he's often boasted that he'll live forever, the past year has been marked by family squabbling over his fortunes while the doddery, feeding-tube-bound Sumner keeps grunting for more steak. With the insane riches, the unnatural hair tinge, and the disparaging comments about exes, he could also be regarded as a sneak peek of what Donald Trump will resemble in 20 years time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,657 Posted May 30, 2016 Reet gang Work is insanely busy at the moment but I guarantee I'll be back in action hereabouts on 31 May to compile a masterlist. 9-00 BST that day entries open. Hopefully the bandwidth will take the onslaught. Basically, first come first served until 20 people have bagged one unique pick each and battle commences in the first seconds of June - BST See yers then Does this mean you won't have time to enter SHBDP? :-( Nope, but the thought of running that in the unlikely event I win wasn't grabbing me. So might give it a swerve until I see how the land lies after the first run through Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grim Up North 3,727 Posted May 30, 2016 Mary - are you allowed to post a reserve in case someone gets in first with your pick? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,657 Posted May 30, 2016 Mary - are you allowed to post a reserve in case someone gets in first with your pick? Nope, if you were it'd be in the rules. It's done in real time so I'm expecting a brief posting frenzy (apologies to the mods if it's more than the site can handle). If you posted two or three names there'd be outright confusion and cries of foul by someone who's reserve beat someone else's legit pick of the same toppler. Post one, or one at a time if your pick gets posted fractionally ahead of your call. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grim Up North 3,727 Posted May 30, 2016 That's what I thought - enjoy the frenzy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
