Thanks for everybody's thanks. And thanks to a few tweaks in the actual format of recording teams and their picks, this has been by far the smoothest nomination period yet. And partly that is due to teams actually been sent in properly, so I'm thanking all you guys for making my task a little easier!

The Teams are up!

Congratulations to Thomas Hitzlsperger. It cant be easy admitting to everyone that you used to play for West Ham.

What a mega effort? Looking good and cooking with gas. Respect. As an aside, only two uniques in my theme team. Sad that Jasper Carrott was said to have been ill of late and I've yet to see that he is back, out and about. Some time ago I checked out the Water Rats for some old timer inside info and who did I find to be King Rat? Melvyn Hayes. Now Windsor Davies gets picked many times over but Hayes is a just a hunch of mine without knowing of any illness.

Yeah, he's had more downgrades over the last week or so than the US economy. It's getting ridiculous. It's like they put out a new alert every time his face turns a different shade of beige or something. Just shut up and tell us when he's dead you tedious, melodramatic Middle East fucks!

Looking frail, makes his first public appearance in nearly a year at the opening of a Havana art studio.

Well done TMIB, excellent job. The glut of deaths at the start of 2014 can't have helped proceedings.

Think it's about time to organise a whip-round, to buy Guest an overnight stay in Switzerland...

Hate to break this to you, but I suspect you'll find that one of them is actually Norwegian.

No, I'm actually being serious. Several of these people are not familiar to me, and they are not household names in Sweden. Or anyhere outside of Uk. Is this really an issue? Well, anyways, I think longterm, which means that my knowledge of things keeps growing for every day. I'm only 20. No need to get all worked up and question my education that I work hard for at college level. Thanks! To be fair I can probably name less than 10 famous Swedes and four of them have names beginning with the first two letters of the alphabet.
