Every team left has multiple unique picks or names picked by 1 or 2 other people,so a lot ground can be made up by anyone. Let me know if I missed any names or made a scoring error.

<pedantry> Needs to be said - neither the planet nor the apes were extraterrestrial. </pendantry>

The odd couple?

I beg to disagree.

Well me too. I mean clearly I've never seen planet of the apes for a start....

To be fair, I'm clutching at straws, I don't think I've manged to work out any of these films so far.

Ah, might have helped had I ever seen it all the way through, rather than in the background some place years ago. My error. It's stretching my brain to think of questions that can't be googled, now you want accuracy as well? Ptui.

Not at all. I appreciate poolers like you that follow the scoring and help keep it straight. You had credit in Jan, and somehow in my translation to the Feb table it got vaporized. All fixed now, nothing personal.

Looks like some of this got sprinkled about, @Boudicca. Well done on keeping up with the Jones’s SC

Tanya Gendle is dead according to Facebook. Facebook page now titled "Remembering Tanya Gendle" Business Facebook page showing it as permanently closed Her website is shut down A Facebook page chronicling those who've died from metastatic breast cancer has posted about her death on January 25th

Do you remember Walter playing cricket in the thunder and the rain? Do you remember Walter smoking cigarettes behind your garden gate? Yes, Walter was my mate. But Walter, my old friend, where are you now? The answer, Ray, is dead. And on his birthday too. Walter Jones, that is. So Banana and Clorox get their Jokers in, and now have command of their ties. Skinny Kiltrunner's Joker too - unfortunately for him, it's also the Bankers! Will anything separate those two? Spade also scores on the US politician, and at this point I think poor old Squonk might be suffering for the sins of Rover... Two other teams got points. Wormfarmer increases his lead over The Old Lady, and forum mainstay Boudicca scores her first deadpool points after a deadpooling hiatus of over a decade. She has the lead against The Unknown Man. This leaves Biblio/Tech as the only goalless draw so far. 1. JoeMoneyPenny Vs. Pedro 3-3 2. Nantonian 2013 Vs. Maryportfuncity 0-3 3. Gooseberry Crumble Vs. John Key 0-3 4. Spade Cooley Vs. Squonk 12-0 5. Markb4 vs Dr T 0-6 6. Banana Vs. Great Uncle Bulgaria 12-0 7. Yorkshire Banker Vs. Skinny Kiltrunner 9-9 8. Alt Obits Guy Vs. Time 13-0 9. Clorox Vs. Fixed Business 16-3 10. The Mad Hatter Vs. Exu 9-0 11. Master Tech Vs. Bibliogryphon 0-0 12. The Unknown Man Vs. Boudicca 0-3 13. Torva Messor Vs. The Old Crem 10-0 14. The Quim Reaper Vs. BuffaloPhil 3-3 15. Wormfarmer Vs.

Hard to say, but I know I wouldn’t want to be Feelin That Way.

So you're saying that he and his gallbladder are going their separate ways?

Ick. That's going to taste of Nurofen.

Survey says: NO Sounds like liquid creamsicle.

I swear I saw Henry Kissinger outside the keycutting place in Balham Station last night.

How to win at Rick-Rolling: why, get the Foo Fighters involved of course!

So my young African American trainee had this playing on his song list yesterday (mostly urban or rap stuff, so this a complete outlier). Hadn’t heard it before. Today it’s playing overhead at Twin Peaks. Had to look up who it was. Always thought the band shite, but this is a catchy tune.

The bastard is 78 today.

4 million Zimbabwean Dollars? Isn't that like 5,99£?

Recent news about the battle between wife and daughter for conservatorship: https://mynewsla.com/hollywood/2019/02/05/attorney-conway-daughter-wife-may-settle-conservatorship-spat/ I'm not sure if there is anything new in there. He is bedridden and cannot speak, but apparently understands what is being said to him. Well, a heavy stroke can kill your speech entirely.
