Arbroathlegend36-0 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I noticed 7 picks for chef Tim Bilton. I avoided picking him as seen an article that he had past away a couple of weeks ago. Although I believe this article to be utter nonsense now and he’s still alive. Good luck to the 7 pickers. https://usdaynews.com/celebrities/celebrity-death/tim-bilton-death-cause/amp/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its ok to gush over them when they go of course but to speculate on their deaths...... Ist Verboten ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: To make it even easier, you can check out your own section of the 'Players' sheet and column J. I might remove it later if it makes the sheet too slow. Thanks for doing the spreadsheet mate. Looks like there are quite a few of us who have 'dared to be different' and pick a lot of solo shots. As the resident stato (and if you know) is there a higher proportion of solo shots this year than in the past. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the resident stato (and if you know) is there a higher proportion of solo shots this year than in the past. Not significantly. About 2/3 of the picks are solo shots, and that's been constant (64-66%) since 2020, and each player has on average just under 4 solo shots (3.75 in 2021, 3.9 in 2020 and 2022). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the time that Benny Hill expressed his sadness at Frankie Howerd's death, despite being dead at the time. And that time Lonnie Donegan signed a petition clamouring for even longer copyright terms, despite being dead for four years. Which sortof makes sense. If you can sign petitions when you're dead, you can maybe collect royalty cheques. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted January 3, 2022 Author Share Posted January 3, 2022 Honestly I'm choking for some intern at the Record to find this thread and try to make a name for themselves. It's also worth pointing out that the DeathList site seems to have scored 12 hits out of 50 last year. A terrible hit rate compared to several of our contestants. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debut season, initially delighted at having two solo shots, but now gutted to see I have three trios and three quads. Nae luck me 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amnarab Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 If the actors I chose in my deadpool list were actual characters that they played in real life, then my top 3 which are from the film Three Amigos would be Dusty Bottoms and Lucky Day plus Martin Short's character which is my Captain. I have to publicly state that I wish no death in real life to anyone who actually have the same names as these characters and although if these actors die in real life I wish the very best in life to anyone to have the same characters name to have a healthy and prosperous New Year and personal congratulations to Ned Nederlander! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spotted that and mentioned him, but put my team in too early to benefit from it. It's a VC solo shot for someone, if a proper obit shows up.

TxRover Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Question, would Aoife Beary have been an acceptable pick under P&B Deadpool Rules? Just wondering if she was enough of a celeb to count, since I’d never heard of her before. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10362593/Irish-student-survived-2015-Berkeley-balcony-collapse-dies-age-27.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
