Those with a * were on the top 20 last year. 14. Derek Walcott Poet b.1930 To be fair none died in my top list last year. I came very close to putting him in my DDP team, but thought he was a better bet for my hares team, which is where he ended up. Surprised Boht and Soper have been so ignored tbh. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,472 Posted February 17, 2017 5/20 (1 obit outstanding), about 7 certs left and another 6 wobbling on the 2017/2018 line. I thought a certain pick had turned out a bad gamble, but I had a sense of deja vu about the most recent news about her. Turns out, she's in much the same condition Jules Bianchi was in February 2015. Time will tell if history repeats itself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,472 Posted February 17, 2017 TJS is still my pick to win - much of the points difference will be wiped out when his joker dies. Bert's started very well, but there's some big names not on his team which may see others get closer if they snuff it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

themaninblack 2,112 Posted February 18, 2017 Tony Davis? I tend to wait a little bit to see if they get an obit, particularly when I reckon they'll get one eventually. Next update he'll either get his obit, or it's the List of the Lost for him... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
