Derby Dead Pool 2020

Recommended Posts

Not that it is a big deal or matters very much but Alan Stephenson Boyd  from my Blueberry Crumble  team is a confirmed death without a qualifying obituary  so belongs on the  list of the lost list for DDP 2020.

Awaiting the last chance saloon that is the BBC News site's round up of "people we lost in 2020".

Colin Withers died yesterday, reported in local press & AVFC website as in Time Added thread.

Awaiting QO - hopefully quicker than Nigel Sims in 2018 that took all year.  The BBC round up with be helpful here too.

Due to non-obits, still one short of the 275 hit rate for 2020.

 

Colin Withers, Arnold Wolfendale and I think one other could still come through. Tantalus clutching at low hanging fruit.

Ah, okay. Makes sense.

 

Guess we won’t hit the magic number then. :(

Indeed.

 

I still feel there's a "straight to BBC" obit about to be announced...had that just before Cardin's death. But they are feelings, nothing more than feelings….

We need the qualifying obits, and have today and tomorrow to find them.

Colin Withers, Arnold Wolfendale, Geoffrey Robinson, now Ronnie Atkins.

Going to have my inaugral crack at this for 2021, after three years of not getting my arse into gear.

 

Love the scoring system, makes for more thought than just the usual 'pick really old people and Stage 4 unfortunates'.

On it. AP is a fairly reliable source for a quick and dirty obit.

We still have the whole day of tomorrow for obits. At this rate, you know, one notable death per hour, we might look at 30 more obits.

Thanks!!

I am out of reactions to give, but I appreciate it.

 

Yes, someone needs to get at least 3 late hits now, or Joker Tom Smith + XYZ. It's not going to happen.
