maryportfuncity 10,660 Posted May 31, 2020 Ooh DOUBLED the previous tally but at this rate we'll have a winner before we have a full field of entrants. Also, one entry held up in pre-moderation, apparently - not summat there's a rule to deal with. The closest I can find is that to enter you have to post here so once the mods have cleared it...it's in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No reason at all - still five places - either this is a wave of complete apathy regarding obitable death or a conspiracy to avoid there being 20 entrants and make sure I can't - therefore - grab 21st place.

Tension mounts, or summat I nearly didn't bother because I assumed there would be a flood of extremely obscure people at death's door, and since I don't know of anybody like that it didn't seem worth my while. But at least I'm familiar with some of the entries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miracle Aligner 249 Posted May 31, 2020 Does anyone have a subscription to the Geelong Advertiser. They've uploaded a new article about Glenn Keast's condition, but it's paywalled. They also seem about the only place that will deliver his obit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted June 1, 2020 I never get into this pool because it’s start time is elusive. Clearly says June 1. Everyone entered 14+ hours ago. June 1 only started 7 hours ago GMT. Same will happen next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Entry can only be made by posting the name of a candidate on the MMMDP thread on the Deathlist. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nobody dead, or owt. Bit disappointing really, I've always imagined the MMMDP winner as a dedicated sort crouched outside an intensive care unit with a phone in hand just ready to call it the second they hear a doctor say "time of death..." 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
