God this thread is depressing

Yet another time where Big Job has to be shamed into doing the right thing, but it’s really quite a crushing feeling that we now are forced as a nation to put across a moral argument for feeding children. So he doesn’t just look like a prick, he looks like a limp, impotent prick.

Score table early on page 1 is updated through Jerry Stiller, who was our last hit over 30 days ago. This drought also triggers the games early demise. I have been distracted to the point of not checking in to the site regularly lately while a family member is going through some health issues and will probably be off for a while anyway, so although this is an unsatisfying early end to my pool, maybe its for the best right now. Hope to be checking in regularly again soon, maybe the obits will pick up by then as well. Peace everyone!

Half the month gone (near as makes no odds), then - 21 prime picks still the right side of the last rites. Hmmm We no longer have the tumbleweed graphic to hand, right?

The flesh coloured ball appears to be lying on the bottom cushion. PS This photo is from earlier in the year.

Eileen Atkins is 86 today, pushing ever closer to Cmme consideration age. Damaris Hayman, a favourite of many on here, is 91! And somehow 90s ECW fan fave The Sandman is 57.

She was looking a bit frail by her standards on Pointless few weeks ago but then she might be one of these people who just lose weight as they get older.

One of the best pool games on the forum in my opinion!

I enjoyed it a lot, it's very likeable. I think Charlotte Ritchie is a great actress, but I find Katy Wix a bit tiresome, thankfully as it's an ensemble piece so it doesn't matter too much.

Gawd it's quiet. Too quiet. By half.

Well, trading is available today if anyone wants to trade. Also posting to remind @Toast that's a possibility.

Game is on - 12 entries received. Bibliogryphon needs a replacement for a duplicate name - George Alagiah. UPDATE: After 4 hits in the first month, things turned ice cold and we have gone over 30 days without a single hit. Soooo. . . Game Over. The format did not produce the long term game that I had imagined. I am surprised that such a list of 76 aged and infirm folk can all survive a month and put an early end to this game. My personal situation has gotten complicated with an illness in the household so I have not been a very active participant on the site and maybe this is for the best for me right now anyway. The hardest nut to swallow is that our Champion is Joey (random) Russ, with 72 points. Not that I don't love the guy, but his entry was just a random generated list. Time should have let the cream of the crop rise to the top, but a couple of lucky high scores right off the bat gave the lead to Joey's box of tea leaves and then the current derth of death conspired to allow him to hang on to it. That's the way the banana drops sometimes, I guess. Nobody scored more than 2 hits, and there were no solos, duos, or even trios. Congrats to Joey, and I am sorry that this did not turn out to be a more exciting contest. 2nd place goes to Chilean Way, with 62, and 3rd goes to Bibliogryphon, at 38 pts.
