Well how about that. 27 days, that's like 1.2 days per entry, and they're STILL Fd up lol. I see I skipped a couple names, so don't fret, I have your PMs and will put the names in. THEN we will get down to the business of marking some scores.

I'm trying to work out if you knew something we didn't, but as far as I can see no big publicity health issues, just an old astronaut? In which case, that's bloody bad luck - a unique on day 1 would have been quite a start! I am still intending to enter a team by Monday - I'm just hoping some inspiration strikes me to pick the right random names from the lists I can't pick decent bets for. Experience in this deadpool has taught me that just picking 5 old guys (or gals) is a mug's game.

She's my Q in the ABC pool.

Lovely. She clearly makes people around her happy too.

A contender for possibly the most pleasant sounding death of anyone ever reported on this forum. Still had his marbles at 92, had his breakfast and then dozed off in a comfy chair watching one of his favourite comedy shows and never woke up.

The James Bond research is easily the most boring of the categories. Just run through every film's list of cast and try and pick random names.

After 194 years of operation, Lord & Taylor going out of business.

Yeah, but it ain't like she does a lot, or has done a lot since becoming a widow. Unlike Dame Vera who was summat of a public figure until the last few years.
