This rather excellent dead pool is one of my favourites so I hope Shaun manages to keep it up to date this year. At the beach today as it goes.Cracking weather for it.

YoungWillz 19,100 Posted June 17, 2017 Coming up to the swap deadline I believe. If players decide to proceed with that option, is it to be done on 30th June (BST)? I presume the swaps are only effective 1st July onwards too. Be good to get an up to date scoreboard before then too. Anyway, enjoying this one, my most successful pool to date.

RadGuy 1,605 Posted June 30, 2017 I made some terrible choices back in December. A lot of people who were not very likely to die but would be worth a lot of points. OUT: Kenneth Cope 1931 Shannen Doherty 1971 Val Kilmer 1959 Dilip Kumar 1922 John Newman 1990 IN: Rayya Elias 1960 Pete Frates 1984 Smith Hart 1948 Gemma Nuttall 1988 Liu Xiaobo 1955 Now, I wonder who I took out will pull an Aherne and die July 2nd... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
