MMMDP 2018

Recommended Posts

It seems several people in that group are in contact with Ana meaning we are likely to know he has died within hours of the event occurring.

Jon Hiseman still alive as of 3 hours ago.

 

 

The post goes on to repeatedly refer to him in the present tense. I don't think Ana would be adding new people to the group if Jon had just died. A German rock magazine has reported that he died on 1st June but this forum is the only source I can find for that. Not a reliable source.

I'm disheartened that someone CLEARLY say my tractor pull champion John Hileman, switched a few letters around, and claimed the find as their own.

Have we seriously got to the dawn of day six with only one stiff? 

 

C'mon people - are we dead poolers or what?

If everything's gone to plan, Fu Da-Ren will be dead in a few minutes.

Ren's execution date confirmed for tomorrow, at 11 a.m. in Switzerland. Will get my silver.

Notable that June's main deaths have been the steady contenders - incl. Mary Wilson - and a lot of our conspicuous low hangers on the MMMDP are laughing in our faces a week after kick off. 

 

Let's see who's still laughing as the sun sets on the longest day

The Jon Hiseman Facebook page shows no update on Hiseman's condition, however Jan Akkerman tweeted to say that Hiseman died last night. I trust Jan Akkerman.

His Facebook appreciation group with nearly two thousand members hasn't picked up on it and a man in contact with Ana said there was no change this afternoon so don't buy it.

His death must be imminent by now comatose with no food for a week now.

So, on this evidence Akkerman is still "out there" then, cheers for that

 

Actually saw Focus last year - "eccentric" barely does their current gigs justice.

Jon Hiseman definitely dead now.

 

German obit

 

 

Doubtless all the obits will praise his expert sense of timing and Death Impends will beg to disagree!

Couple more closing in.  Nawaz for instance, and Jose.  Like to think they won't see U.S. Labor Day.

In good time to revive this thread and drag the list of talent to the top, again

 

Some of whom may see 2019 action. I note my pick remains alive

So let's drag this back to the top for a second

 

Everyone's up for a MMMDP in 2019, more or less the same rules etc.

 

Right?

Ready if you are. Thanks for running.  We could do with some fast and furious action.

Well...aye, I'm up for running it.

 

Same deal as last time - 20 places for everyone else, I'll snag the final place and commit not to nick anyone else's pick by only declaring mine once the others are nabbed.

 

I'll try and get the new thread up around 1 May so's we can amuse each other with pithy form guide comments

 

Unless loads of people post below and say there are too many dead pools, or summat
