Is is bad I thought of this thread when I heard the Duke was in hospital?!

Not really, but it would be less bad if you enter a team, because you would at least have some skin in the game...

No pal, seen her cancer had metastasised  to her liver the other day 

Just kidding, I'm having to chase someone down in this comp for the first time, so I noticed its the 3rd one you brought in that I already had, but they are all picks that have been in the news

Hahaha, funny you should say that, was just gonna post a shout to the Colonel, as he originally picked Christopher Lee, who died 5 years ago! I at least spotted that one, forgot George Snr had already died 

Hey, @Colonel Kurtz, you need to replace Bush!

I had Rush, but don't worry, I won't replace him with Aldridge...

Yes, but I was too lazy to re type it when your inbox rejected it, such is life.

 

Captain Tom was number one though.

You're in, and have 10 points on the board. You need to replace Captain Tom

You may notice in the table I have a question mark for Vlad.

I had Cloris Leachmann last week. I better get my points or I'll curse you with the plague of a million locusts.

He did indeed have Cloris Leachmann. I know that the comp hadn't officially started, but I am minded to give the points, he sent it in 3 days before she passed, and she died of natural causes at home, so it wasn't like a pick where someone has just gone into hospital and was all over the news and a reaction to that.

But, you know, it was before the start date, so thought I would check that you guys are ok with that?

You shouldn't,I didn't get any when Jimmy Snuka carked it hours before the game started a few years back!

 

Mind you,one of my picks this year almost didn't make it to the 1st of Feb.

And I see you didn't get some points in a similar situation, but I was not the one running it then. I'd have argued to give you the points too!

That's a bit small, innit

Scores on the doors

Double check your teams to make sure I didn't make a mistake

You've posted a lot about him dying, but I don't think you've actually replaced him...?!

We are not supposed to reveal our list publicly. According to my conversations in my inbox,The Woolster hadn't even read my list. I think he might have his hands tied at the moment and Mrs Woolster is playing dominatrix.

Ha, missed this. Not far wrong, metaphorically speaking!

Yeah, but my team was late, no points if anyone dies in the first week... 

I've got just a few more teams to go through,  will do this evening

Leon spinks gone. And yes I did have him. 3 in less than a week

Had him since last year,  couldn't he wait a week longer!

I think a pun for Christopher's death would plum to new depths...

My list is as follows

Shannen Doherty

Jimmy Greaves

Jimmy Carter

Linda Nolan

Tracey Emin

Paul Canoville

Grace Victory

Renee Simonot

Tom Parker

Leon Spinks

I'll put everyone's teams together, hopefully this evening

I also had Larry King in my list, so I guess someone did actually beat me... 

Right, confession time, I sat down Sunday night to put my picks together for this year, but then I realised I had not submitted my Self-Assessment tax return, and it was deadline day!

So I haven't picked my team yet... good thing I brought in the new rule about late entries then! I haven't opened anyone's PMs yet (can't remember if you can see if messages have been read or not on this forum), so I will get my team picked and then post it on here, and then I will get everyone's lists together. Of course under the new rules, if any of my picks die within a week, I won't get the points.

Sounds like @littletedwest is off to a flier though, so I better pick well!
