I never thought of that, what a cùnt.

[10menwent2mow]

Is it gmt or local time that counts?

 

Eta, just read the rules. b*****d.

[microdave]

Finally on the board!

[The Master]

That’s my second one away. 

I’m having a good year by my standards. 

[Zen Archer (Raconteur)]

Cremation for burning Bush.

[lichtgilphead]

It was especially good to note that he held off dying until 1st December (UK time)

The former president died at 22:10 local time on Friday (04:10 GMT Saturday)

Under the Sir Edmund Hilary rule, that means a deadly december bonus 

Points (plus bonus) please!

EDITED TO ADD: When did the rules change??? b*****ds.

[Spain]

In my final year of the running the Dead Pool (stay tuned) another of the long term big-ticket participants has decided to leave his mark on the competition with a numerical quirk, George Bush Snr donates 31 points to 31 players. To clarify the scoring, as per the rules George Bush Snr does not earn a Deadly December bonus.

To clarify dates for ages and bonuses, other than the entry, start and end times for the games, local dates and times will apply to deaths. If a person dies in Australia in the early hours of the morning for example, their death will appear in their obituary as occurring on that local date regardless if it was still the night before UK time.

Some place changes in the top 10 over the last few months, including my best ever year to date with Stephen Hillenburg propelling me up into 6th. @Gypsy Joe Swanton remains at the top of the pile, with @Ned Nederlander and @Sherrif John Bunnell closing out the podium positions.

With Deadly December and the Last Gasp bonuses in play one single death (especially of a young captain) could easily propel any of the top 10 into the lead still at this late stage and equally those as low as 50th could still sneak a top 10 so it's all to play for.

I should be at the top of the 31s. 

[Melanius Mullarkey]

Ha ha losers.

[Blootoon87]

3rd of the year for me. Hopefully the rest of the team are inspired by that.

Your picks not so much.

[pawpar]

Knew at the start of this year with my picks I would either win this or get zero points.

 

Zero points it is then.

3rd year in the DP, second consecutive year with the same lineup and still not a point. How long is an apprenticeship in this game?

It’s a long straight road that has no turning. Pick ‘em all again next year.

 

Edit: perhaps you should offer up a prayer or stick pins in effigies of your team.
