Great Uncle Bulgaria

Thanks. After your first reply saying basically 'follow the committee' s rules' I submitted an entry doing so. Then I read your second reply above :-). Never mind, I shall take my customary place in the 4th quartile. Thanks for running.

Thanks. I agree that makes it more exciting but it doesn't explicitly say as much in the OP and given that few of us are likely to get all of the '14 survivors to be dropped' correct clearly a good strategy would be to keep almost all of them if that was allowed, so was just making sure.

Can someone remind me whether we have to limit our 50s to 25 from the current list or can we (theoretically at least) use all of the survivors from this year? Thanks.

Don't`Look Up (Netflix) is worth a watch, Meryl Streep and Leonardo di Caprio are good. Jennifer Lawrence is less wooden than usual. I know it's naff and belongs in the 1970s but usually watch Blankety Blank, Christmas edition was OK apart from Tom Allen's constant attention-seeking

Not a pick of mine but Robin Le Mesurier has died. Was briefly in The Wombles but was kicked out after being done for possession. Was clearly wombling a bit too freely at the time.

Have entered a team. I try to avoid 'the other thread' wherever possible so had a pleasant time choosing 19 women of child-bearing age with whom I wouldn't mind procreating. And Scarlett Moffatt, who will do anything for publicity.

I'm out. Went round Sainsburys happily enough to the strains of Wizzard, the Waitresses and Shakey, then got the single whammy at the checkout....another minute and I'd have been clear.

Ok thanks, I'll put the ones I pulled after SM's intervention back in then. I like picking ex-Tory cabinet ministers, allows you to mix business wth pleasure.

No, this game continues until someone gets a full house of 20 departed managers. Current leader has 4 to go, the rest of us have half a dozen or so.

Ryan Lowe is a hit for me, leaves Plymouth to take over at Preston.

Would have predicted Dole to be the No. 1 of 2022. Now I also think it will be Betty White. A woman at the top would be nice. Surely the Queen would be more appropriate. 95 year old head of state of the DL's home country. Excuse the xenophobic sentiment, but to me Betty White is just some old woman who was in a US sitcom 60-odd years ago. If not the Queen, then Jimmy Carter.

Linda Nolan in for Dole please.

Congrats Biblio!

Replace unimaginatively with Pope Benedict please

I had Gupilil here as no doubt did many others

Just realised Roger Hunt was my 5th hit here.

Does your chewing gum lose its flavour on the bedpost overnight?

Bob Barker

Whoooo are you, oo oo oo oo?

Sorry, should say Jerry Lee Lewis before any smart-alec helpfully points out Dean Martin's former partner has been dead for years.

Jerry lewis replaces Gulpilil as per earlier submission, thanks.

Maybe not famous unless you are a deadpooler or an early music afficoniado. Until I looked her up 5 minutes ago I had always assumed she was a marginally famous relative of Eric.

They're out of the relegation zone on goal difference, which isn't that OK. Admittedly they have won their last 2, which has slightly increased the radius of his circle around the drain.
