Ryan O'Neal is on a few teams including mine.

I'd prefer not.

Don't like Torn.

Same here with Mystic Meg! There were several where I wasn't 100% positive but was immediately drawn to the answers, so I guess I subconsciously knew them.

"Megacon"! Expect to get ripped off there big time.

I got 13, with a couple of guesses. Slipped up on Perry (never watched Friends) and Darling (never taken much interest in politics).

No, that wasn't what I was thinking What I take from that is that the best Christmas songs did not reach No. 1.

I know Duran Duran, but not the single musicians. I think it falls into the same category as "Oh, that guy" actors. When you are aware of a person but couldn't necessarily put a name to them. John Wetton was another example, having been in several bands that people know.

I know an easy solution to that.

I must be the only person here who had no idea who this old dude was. But I don't watch any American TV.

You're usually wrong though.

Insults are daily currency here.

I had a theme team "Toast Of The Turf" in the DDP for a few years.

This thread should be merged with the immortals thread.

I'll be playing again too, but I won't post my list until the game begins. And here it is Andrew Ranken Anouk Aimée 18 Jun Cindy Birdsong Clive Brittain Dave Myers [joker] 28 Feb David Attenborough Dennis Skinner Esther Rantzen Françoise Hardy 11 Jun Frank Field 23 Apr Gerald Harper Glynis Johns 4 Jan James Dewey Watson James Whale Jean Marsh Joanne Woodward Jonnie Irwin 2 Feb Liza Minnelli Patrick Murray Rob Burrow 2 Jun Ron Jeremy Rupert Murdoch Theo Burrell Toby Keith 5 Feb Yoko Ono Subs Ted Turner Ethel Kennedy Steve McMichael Norman Tebbit Chris Evert

The point is whether we like a song or not. I've never liked Slade's songs, and my previous voting bears witness to that.
