Death Impends and drol go head to head with a Smith Hart takedown.

*checks on Samantha Bond's health...*

I really don't think he'll last the month by the looks of it. Loads of folk have him, I'm dreading him and Reverend Billy going, those are massive updates.

Christmas?!! I can't wait.

Flushes are more likely to gain the chunky points. Say you get 3, 8, 9, K and A of Clubs getting the flush bonus. Then you hit 6 Clubs. You get the additional flush bonuses for the following: 6, 8, 9, K, A. 3, 6, 9, K, A. 3, 6, 8, K, A. 3, 6, 8, 9, A. 3, 6, 8, 9, K.

Who new Who?

Hope you didn't place that bet...

Prescient. Shame I'm not as good when playing the pools....

BiblioGryphon has nothing to critique with his unique for Barry Norman.

Ah, but I got here first, it's now a trilogy of posts, in the style of Star Wars or Back To The Future. Now, turning to Werner Herzog...

Sure thing. It's all up in the air. I'm about 20 hits in September away from winning this thing!

Basically I picked about 12 and then stuck my mouse over the remaining 38!

Right, so we enter the second half of 2017. Time for those with a surplus of potential hits to get those points to hurtle up the leaderboard. Speaking of which...

Congrats deadsox and indeed to all who played. I had a great time sitting back for 6 months, now I'm running two pools!

Teams are up. Clock is ticking. As I think I said to everybody, good luck and thanks for playing!

My team on the other hand...well... 2 hours to go, no late entries. If you haven't received a card allocation, you are not in the game. 15 teams about to sit down so far...

Joffe, Bond, Gilligan, Fendi and Avildsen.

It's all about the bonuses in this game. Two people could have exactly the same picks die, but the cards would dictate who gets the better deal. Fluffing myself about this idea....

Hmm, makes me think how many of the newsreaders/performers in the Morecambe and Wise "Nothing Like A Dame" sketch are living...

Sorry to hear that msc.

Last few hours before the game starts.
