Banana 859 Posted January 17, 2020 An obituary for Jenis Grindstaff has been released. Dead on the 13th. Guess we'll have to wait until tomorrow to see if he gets any QO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,964 Posted January 17, 2020 Yeah, thought he might die off the radar. I would now be surprised if something comes up. Too much stuff has happened since the baptism. Such people have to die fast, or they will be forgotten. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,644 Posted January 17, 2020 So, the podium - Banana is one death from victory - and he's got some serious totterers on the surviving team Banana - 1801 GC Reptile - 1436 The Old Crem - 1085 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,220 Posted January 17, 2020 Can confirm that won’t be an acceptable QO once the cup starts up in February. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Too much stuff has happened since the baptism. Such people have to die fast, or they will be forgotten. The stewards are with you on that GC and it pains me to report that the only confirmation I can find is on funeral sites - it pains me because I'd picked the fucker too. Points removed (temporarily at least). So Banana remains two deaths away from victory Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still no sign of a q/o for Grindstaff that'd put the afterburners on Banana's bid for glory Banana - 1449 The Old Crem - 1431 GC Reptile - 1086 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deathray 2,940 Posted January 19, 2020 Oh for the love of god, I put the wrong Bethan from my longlist on my team then.... Bethan Close - on my team - is the relatively health cancer mum who thanked a MacMillan nurse with an xmas present. Bethan Murie is the now dead 23 year old Perth based cancer activist who got dropped in ^^'s favour.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,964 Posted January 19, 2020 Banana has two people without q/o now....so yeah, it could have been over. Well, I had Qaboos and David Stern on other deadpools. I could do a whole lot better, too (Grindstaff for me, too). This year, we all were just a little poor with the "fringe famous about to die" people. So now we must wait for the "standard" picks in ill health, you know, Tobin, Arap-Moi and so on... Main disappointments for me: Warren Strain and John "Bam" Carney, probably.

maryportfuncity 10,644 Posted January 22, 2020 Terry Jones' death mainly jiggles the peleton positions and brings a couple of zero scoring teams into play However, it also gives Rad Guy a podium position Banana - 1449 The Old Crem - 1431 Rad Guy - 1410 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
