Yep, Grim is taking a well earned Christmas break* so confirmations will be in a few days, probably. *Genuinely, you should see the amount of work hes put into the DDP already. He's doing brill. Even though I can't see the emails, my teams are in early (and forum polis man Cat of the Yard has copies in case anyone thinks I'd try and pull a fast one on them...) 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers, GUN Yes, the email is ddp(at)derbydeadpool.co.uk, but the website has it as TOddp(at)derbydeadpool.co.uk.

Merry Christmas, DDT, Banali's lead singer got the full BBC obit back in 2007 when there were much less DDP obit chasing from the likes of the Mail. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Impends 8,071 Posted December 28, 2019 Another tip re Banali: his diagnosis made the headlines of the Yahoo frontpage here in the states, which I've found to be a reliable indicator of folk that the Mail will pick up on. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While digesting my dinner and the family was all talking , I was thinking of little Richard and I don't mean my penis. First time I entered the DDP, I had journalist Sue Carroll set as my joker. I was secretly checking the news on my phone at the family Boxing Day dinner at grans when I saw that she'd died, and let out an involuntary "FUCKING DAMN IT!" in front of everyone. Managed to cover it by pretending I'd hit my knee against the table! 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
