As it seems a little unlikely now that one of my picks will drop off in the next hour, may I offer Book my congratulations on a well deserved victory. I knew it wasn't going to be easy when I saw the draw, and so it proved. Best of luck for the rest of the Cup. Thanks again Joey for running such a great pool (even though your decision ultimately proved so costly- may the ghost of Anne Marie Panzarelli haunt you forever )

Susan Boyle is 60, a classic example of being in the right place at the right time but with the wrong face but as of 2021, Boyle has sold 19 million records, and has an estimated net worth of £22 million so musn't grumble.

Oh, I think this will be quite the spectacular round. @Perhaps I think your team is quite good. Gene Champagne was my first sub sub (i.e. addition to the subs bench after I lost those two picks mentioned above). Angelicoussis was also a pick I had on my mind. Good luck to all! @BabyBlue I hope for better luck for you next time! A shame your joker wasn't dying as quickly as many of us, me included, thought.

I'm really sorry, actually you should have won, you lost 2 picks so close to the start ... and winning because of the age bonus doesn't feel right either! Good luck to both of us! Let's hope for a profitable round! And yeah, of course, thank you Joey!!!

@Annami well played, 9 points would normally be enough to get through to the next round so bad luck. Really hope you stick around in DL and have another go next year

Sarah Palin has it

Paul Feinman has died after a legal career in which he became the first openly gay judge to serve on New York’s highest court. Feinman was 61 and died shortly after stepping down from the Court of Appeals due to an unspecified health issue. SC

Thanks for the compliments. Wish I’d had your savvy to invest in DaCosta. A tense matchup but the better list won out. Congrats to you, Clorox, and best of luck in the following rounds.

Oh yeah, and the final 8 draw. You don’t want to know next matches draw. maryportfuncity or Bibliogryphon vs Spade_Cooley or Clorox Bleachman Banana or alt obits guy vs Quim Reaper or deadsox DevonDeathTrip or CaptainChorizo vs Perhaps or Gcreptile DeathByArsenic or CalebH vs msc or Book

I remember this character well from the movies. I wonder if the parrot is still alive (as the parrot actually talked instead of the man and I'd say had a larger role in those movies. And if it was only one parrot)

Hmm, noticing the avatars gone, is @Ulitzer95 away? Been a bit busy this month but I was enjoying the discovery of hidden gems among the aging acting lot.

Another veteran actor still alive Denys Graham b 29th June 1926. Not much on his wikipedia page but IMDB list parts in Dambusters Zulu Armchair Theatre Dixon of Dock Green. and latterly played the part of Bigelow in series 1 of Lovejoy

Some kudos to you both for managing to pick 5 Bond cast members and not get a hit! As an Inverse Pool that would have been a tough one this last 7 months.

Biljana Plavsic discharged. Yeah, she was improving.

Called it you cunts.

It just all seems to me to have been planned from the start. She hadn't been around more than about five minutes before she flounced. He seems to have an agenda about his mother too. He's a chip off the old block, but not as clever as she was.

I’ve always thought of Death List as a haven for shockingly bad taste in a woke world so let’s see if this passes the test.
