Makes no odds Joey Rules is rules and ridicule duly follows Though in terms of discussing etiquette I would point out that I LOVE teams already ordered alphabetically and the odd team has acquired a joker by default having nominated nobody and then ignored my reasonable requests to identify one (in that instance the person in first place gets the nod regardless of how likely to die s/he is) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,683 Posted November 25, 2017 Death Race Form Guide #40 Carmen Franco Unrepententend apologist for her civil war winning father and decorated with enough Spanish civil honours to give the obtituarists a challenge in getting the upper case letters in the order (even if they can't explain WTF each gong was awarded for). This class of 26 graduate is now in serious health trouble and stumbling our way with enough media interest to allow some of the usual half-accurate/half-hopeful prognosticating from armchair experts on death prediction. Long-list bait for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indeed - it's only her current obscurity in the UK and US that'd keep her out of Drop 40 contention in the DDP (IMHO at least), but I'm working on it.

maryportfuncity 10,683 Posted November 25, 2017 Deathlist Form Guide #41 Martin Peters Former footballer who made a significant contribution to the early games of Gorleston's run to the Norfolk Senior Cup in their memorable 1983-84 season. We asked about other games he might have played in but Martin seemed a bit hazy on the details and at one point claimed to be actor Peter Falk and swore blind he'd recorded a song called Could it be Forever. We're all agreed it won't be forever, or even that much longer. But as always with the Deathrace the real question is when. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,683 Posted November 26, 2017 Deathrace Form Guide #42 Norman Dewis 97 year racing driver and test-driving legend who put in the miles that made Jaguar cars a classic. Dewis was close enough to the worst motor racing accident of all time - Le Mans 1955 - to count his future hold on life as something of a bonus; particularly since his racing days co-incided with a carnival of carnage. His steady progress to a century of years has of late been marked by the establishing of his own website and appearances at classic car events - especially when they concern the Jaguar brand. He's old school enough - likely - to be horrified at the nature of our interest and - therefore - may well spite us with a no show in the 2018 results. But, he is 97.

Teams of 20 topplers posted on this thread or PM'd to MPFC will be collected into a masterlist to provide a carnival of carnage, the counting of which goes live in the first second of 2018. Points aplenty pour into the scoreboard until someone snags the stupendous total of 2018, at which point the event that used to be the fastest deadpool in common useage (until MPFC started something faster!) slams on the brakes and the lucky winner is duly given metaphorical back-slaps and allowed to claim a prize worth about a tenner (though tradition thus far dictates this turns into a charitable donation)*. Closing date for entries is midnight on 30 December 2017. · Bear in mind an alternative to the charitable donation is a double measure of spirts or a couple of pints bought at a DL Con and such an event is scheduled for 24 March! And here's that list of entrants in full: Bibliogryphon - bg FixedBusiness - fb After our previous MC - David Cassidy - withdrew at the last minute it wasn't lung (heh heh) before L'Elvis Francais stepped in to greet the guests at our annual shebang! Reigning champion: Death Impends And those former champions in full: 2009 - Raskolnikov 2010 - Nobody, I mean f***in' nobody, reached the winning points total 2011 - DDT 2012 - Spade Cooley 2013 - DDT 2014 - Death Impends 2015 - MSC 2016 - DDT 2017 - Death Impends Just noticed the new MC.

msc 18,536 Posted November 28, 2017 I like the story about George Harrison on holiday in France. In a hotel, when he hears the familiar shrieks of teenage fans, and got worried. Then into the hotel walked Johnny Hallyday, and the shy Beatle breathed a sigh of relief. EDIT - Actually, trying to think where I first heard that, and come to think of, it might well have MPFC on here? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,186 Posted November 28, 2017 I do know what an MC is...although the preferred option for me would be "emcee". Ah, so that's Hallyday...*shrug* not really a pick for me, Aznavour's more my style... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
