Whatever the 1970's equivalent of exclaiming "CHOON!" is.

In fact, it was probably the murder of Blair Peach and the attitude of the police, including the tasty racism of McNee and his cohorts, which led to this from Not The Nine O'Clock News:

Anyone who remembers the horrid actions of the cops re Blair Peach can wish him well in hell.

Hi Wormy - following the meaningless death of The Kingdom Duke we're heading towards another month with no points. So I presume if no point scoring deaths in next 4 days that a) 3 people will go out in May b) We can choose if we continue to remain with the same team OR submit a new team. c) No late penalties for not submitting a new team, just your existing team defaults in. In May if only one player scores points then presumably for June a) 3 people will go out (1 for June plus 2 carried over from May) b) Everyone has to submit a new team. c) Late penalties would apply to all. It strikes me that there is an inconsistency in the rules between a month where there are no deaths where there are no eliminations and a month where there is a hit and people get the same score. In this second situation then past hits come into consideration as the tie breaker. Could this not also apply in a month with no hits? Hence the person entering the round with the highest countback score would know their head was on the block if there were no deaths in the month. This would help to prevent this roll up situation. Cheers, GUN
