She copped it not long afterwards! Of course ... as written in the Laws of Dead Pool: On 01/01/2019 at 14:05, Ned Nederlander said: So anyhoo, Laws of dead pool: Once the lists are revealed there will be an absolutely fucking obvious pick you missed. Your nailed-on banker for a solo shot will have been picked by about ten other folk. Someone you thought was obvious will be a surprise solo shot. You'll share a deadly duo with a P&Ber you've never even feckin heard of before. About two days into the year it will become clear that one (or more) of your picks is absolutely fitting fit and will see out the next two decades let alone the next year. Someone you dropped from last years list will depart early doors. Someone you nearly picked will depart early on. Someone you thought was already dead will die. Folk will pick folk that are already dead. The Duke of Edinburgh will be the most picked in 2021. The Duke of Edinburgh will be the most picked in 2022. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The following year she took that trip to Switzerland, bloody captain for a couple years before too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you stick to a theme team made up of former UK journalists, editors, newsreaders and the like, I suspect you're assured of a qualifying obituary every time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bishop Briggs Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 (edited) ETA - I'd forgotten that I had retained Paul Westphal on my list. He was 70, and had a glioblastoma (very deadly) - https://www.espn.co.uk/football/nba/story?id=30638260&_slug_=paul-westphal-member-naismith-memorial-basketball-hall-fame-dies-age-70. If this is a qualifying obit, he's my first hit of the year and qualifies for a first blood bonus.
