Yeah I know , just had a couple hours spare at work and thought I'd try my hand at it . Probably gonna be too busy over the next few weeks to keep an ear out for fresh terminal diagnoses ! If I get a couple of hits on my first year I'll be happy ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chomp my root Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Got a pretty solid (well hopefully infirm) 10 on the list, need a few to hold on for a couple more weeks but hard going whittling down the extensive subs bench. Some of this season's failures will be getting moved on, they need to take a long hard look at themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Putting the final touches to my team. Just waiting to see if this chilly weather claims any more of my 2017 lot before submitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The DA Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Spent the day whittling it down to 17. Possibly the most depressing Sunday afternoon I can remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundays are when I do most my research, watching football with a few vitamin T's and trawling the internet looking for the stragglers in the human herd. Learned all sorts of random crap reading up on the obit worthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieStevenson Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 New year's eve is always a great day. Going through the shortlist that has been building throughout the year to narrow it down to my new team. Luckily It's one of the few days I have off over the festive period (the other being Christmas Day). 2017 has been my best year, death wise and I'm nowhere near the top of the table, insane.

I too have been delighted devastated by the number of deaths this year, with my team already smashing their personal best with six wonderful tragic departures. I take a great deal of joy no joy at all, obviously, from my team's 450 odd points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 This year has been my personal best yet I'm mikes behind, such is life (or not). Anyway I'm working quite a bit at Xmas and new year so my list will be going in a bit prematurely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HI HAT Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 As a matter of curiosity,what's the record for number of hits that any contestant has had in any years competition. Just wondering like. Ta in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karpaty Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Normally struggle to get 15 names but this time I've a couple of reserves. No doubt there's at least one blatently obvious I miss out though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blootoon87 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I've got 12 survivors from this year plus a shortlist of about a dozen. Also got a potential bit of insider info yesterday about someone who may or may not make my team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross. Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 My list is submitted. Took out the 2 from my 2017 list who have died and replaced them with 2 fairly solid, but probably widely used picks. Hopefully none(I'd accept all but nothing less) of my other existing picks don't kick the bucket before the new year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richey Edwards Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I am currently in the process of contacting all of my candidates and asking their permission to include them. I have had a couple of knock backs but won't be deterred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 That's the PM sent as offski after Christmas, hopefully they all survive the next 11 days (or if they don't let's hope it's one of those in this year's too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazdons Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 What happens if I pick someone for next years team, and it is confirmed next year they are dead, but they died this year? Would I get points or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spain Posted December 21, 2017 Author Share Posted December 21, 2017 You would get points in P&B:2017 if they were in your team for it and if it's still going when it's announced. Otherwise, no you wouldn't get points in P&B:2018. A lot of posters submit reserve picks though in case some of their team don't make it to the bells, in which case I fill the team back up to 15 again from there.
