    I hate to be a complainer, but are we really allowing a dude who is only notable for planting flags?

    If you don’t like « the flag man » then I guess you are really not going to like « The sooty man »:D

    If there’s one thing the Cup does on opening day is enlighten you as to your deficiencies as a researcher.
     

    Amen to that.

    Very disheartening when you spend hours googling for good names,  then  you see names on the master list that 5 or 6 people have picked and you have never heard of them.

    Skinny v Sir Creep in R1 a tough one, winner meets JK. Hard three way to call there.

    Old Crem might be hanging that quote up on the dressing room wall before the first round match - you are obviously not giving him/her much chance against JK

     

    I've been doing my scouting on MarkB4 - a first round exit last year gives me some hope. happy to have avoided some established forum names in the first round. However the "reward" is to face Alt Obits guy in the second round - that's a toughie for whoever gets through.

    David Graham, the former Irish Cricketer, is listed on three teams, including the theme teams #1 Hits and I Hear Voices. Two different David Grahams (and given that the third team Worm Fodder are all household names, I suspect they meant a different David Graham as well.)

     

    Incidentally , if it is considered bad form to point out errors, please say stop before I piss people off.

    Thanks Clorox. Somehow I had completely missed your post on 24th December, so I had no idea I was in the lead. It came as quite a pleasant surprise today when I saw that I had won it.

    I am still completely bewildered by the scoring system in this game, so I don't really know HOW I won it, but I'll happily take it!!

    Thanks for running the game - it seems like a lot of hard work for little reward.

    Congratulations DI on a fantastic victory - never in doubt for the last few months. We were all playing for the minor places.

    Well done Dr.T for a valiant defence of the title.

    I'm pretty chuffed with my 3rd place finish- very much beginners luck. I suspect though that I will spend the next 10 years fruitlessly trying to match it.

     

    Thanks Spade for hosting - I can only begin to imagine the amount of work that went into it.

    I'd like to enter too please.

    I suspect that my research skills are insufficient to pick up the obscure Ecuadorian  town councillors or Lithuanian backgammon players that are necessary to do well in this competition, but I might as well give it a go. About three quarter of the entrants so far seem convinced that they will be knocked out in the first round, so with a good draw maybe the dizzy heights of the second round are within reach.

    Once You Go Black move up to third, one of the best debut seasons on record.... remind me again who they are on here?

     

    They seek him here, they seek him there...……

     

    Once You Go Black is my main team. Been lurking around here for a while but only signed up this year. Haven't posted much, mainly because I keep forgetting my password!

    Could I make an appeal for points for Grace Catherine Jones (died 7th June).

    She is on my list as Catherine Grace Jones, which might be because I submitted my team with the surnames first, or might simply be because I made a balls of it and got her name mixed up.

    Either way, that’s who I intended (honestly!).

    It's not fucking necessary to fucking shoot a pair of fucking lions to get to a fucking DEAD man.  They knew he was dead (he had been mauled). 

    SC

    Especially not if, as stated in the article, the lions were kept in separate pens. Shooting one may have been necessary, but why the need for the other? 

    And has no-one there ever heard of tranquilizer guns?
