If you hadn't dropped her, Biblio…...

Cuban ballerina and DDP Pick Alicia Alonso now finally, really dead rather than the Wiki rumour earlier in the year: https://www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-world/world/americas/cuba/article236359533.html

Only a few short months ago, Bawjaws Johnson as a backbencher was sitting down at the DUP Party Conference, breaking bread with Arlene Foster and her ilk. Now there's an announcement that the UK and the EU have a deal which sells out the DUP. Many of the ERG won't support a deal which the DUP are against. So tactic by Bawjaws? Says he has got a deal which won't pass muster, so he can then blame Parliament for hindering his "great statesmanship"? Problem with that is it looks like he is prepared to sell out his allies - and many within his own party will turn on him. What does he do then? Expel some of his most ardent supporters from the Tory Party? Man's a tool.

Now we can start the Trump conspiracy theories. Been following the US proceedings and given he was in charge of one of the most powerful Committees of Congress looking into Trump, this is a major US death. Wow. Well done to the team who picked him for the DDP, looked as strong as an ox to me.

Think it should be 12th croaker in the poll. Poitier. In the heat of the night.

Oh look she still isn't in the thread you want her in because you couldn't be arsed cross-posting in amongst your criticism. Valid here, and still technically correct here anaw.

It's the lesbian kiss of death for Leah Bracknell. 10 Players had her as principal hits. Bonuses: msc: A Spades - 5 Additional Points. Fixed Business - A Clubs - 5 Points; Pair of As - 10 Points - Total: 15 Additional Points RadGuy - 8 Clubs - Pair of 8s - 10 Additional Points Grim Up North - 9 Hearts - Pair of 9s - 10 Points; Two Pair (Qs and 9s) - 15 Points - Total: 25 Additional Points Joey Russ - 7 Diamonds - Straight (4,5,6,7,8 with 8 Clubs) - 30 Points; Straight (4,5,6,7,8 with 8 Diamonds) - 30 Points - Total: 60 Additional Points Captain Chorizo - 7 Clubs - Pair of 7s - 10 Points; Straight (6,7,8,9,10) - 30 Points - Total: 40 Additional Points. Also Banana had Bracknell as a sub and draws the A Spades for 14 Points added. Leaderboard updated.

Bracknell is my 7th hit only here. Assuming this is still running.

I just can't catch up, seemingly. Tied for Brackers. YW - 9; DL - 11

Bracknell for me, after Ricksen she was second on my list. My fifth hit, I think.

Brackers for me and loads of others I assume.

The Express published a health update on 25 September, however that referred to an appearance earlier in September. Hmm. It's not desperately needed for the Poker Pool, I'll use 29th and it can be updated if it's firmed up.

Anyone have Brackers?

Do we have a date of death? Asking for a casino owner....

Ron Ely's wife is killed and murder suspect shot dead: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7579209/Deputies-shot-dead-suspect-killed-elderly-woman-home-Tarzan-actor-Ron-Ely.html DDP Pick Ron is safe though.

Well then again that is a racist assumption, that the entirety of the supporters would simply up and leave rather than stay and cheer on the other home nations. Edit: Should probably make it clear that rugby supporters are a very different breed from footy supporters. I assume the very old trope joke is derived from the thousands of footy barbs, which simply doesn't translate to rugby. I really had to chuckle at the outrage shown in the UK press about the behaviour of the Bulgarians in the footy as well. Given the history of a minority of English fans abroad, according to the outcome desired by said media, England would have been playing their internationals behind closed doors for over 30 years.

Yeah, it was the mindless racist tropes I was getting at. When a fifth of your team is English, it hardly behoves the English to make sneering jokes about it, instead of supporting them as a home nation. Which adds grist to Sturgeon's mill, I guess.

I'm afraid this is rather unthinking and misleading. Almost half the squad weren't born in Scotland: Berghan; Thomson; Maitland - New Zealand Dell; Nel - South Africa Toolis; Johnson - Australia Barclay - Hong Kong Watson; Wilson; Price; Pyrgos; Harris; Taylor - England Seymour - United States I guess when your team is fullof also rans from other countries, thy team's results shall be also rans.

Sturgeon's rather keen on getting this going again. Very keen. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-50036176
