So it was common knowledge? I just think the BBC should report the news, not play detectives.

I'd be up for Round 2.

I can't find the BBC thread, but I consider this to be in some way political. Should the BBC be spending licence money on detective work exposing a sleazy sex scandal that frankly has little importance to the wider world? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-66889779

Yes, I like Justify My Love too. As for Pavarotti, it's a nostalgia trip back to Italia 90 for those of us d'un certain age.

Nuez Daiquiri Rum, walnut liqueur, lime, apple juice Disappointed with this. Agree with the person who left the comment - the nocello doesn't go well with the sharpness of the lime juice. In future I shall stick to creamy cocktails for my nocello. Incidentally the nocello (walnut liqueur) is home-made from green walnuts. It has taken about six years for it to become really drinkable, as it had a bitter aftertaste which receded year by year. It was my own fault for putting in too many walnuts. Less is sometimes more. It's delicious now though, and worth the wait.

Blame Dido.

So why didn't you give one minus point each to the other six?

No point in numbering the team on the pitch. I shall just update them in alphabetical order by surname. David Attenborough Clive Brittain Theo Burrell Jimmy Carter Bernadette Chirac Noam Chomsky Stephen Darby George Lazenby Judy Loe Jean Marsh Liza Minnelli Steve McMichael Rupert Murdoch Linda Nolan Yoko Ono Dennis Skinner Sly Stone Johnnie Walker James Whale Joanne Woodward subs 1. Sophie Kinsella 2. Ted Turner 3.

Many years ago IT was the first Stephen King book I read, or attempted to read. It just didn't grab me and I gave up and took it back to the library (I read faster in those days! ) It was quite a while before I picked up another SK book, and annoyingly I can't remember which one it was, but I enjoyed it and have read a lot more since. I find he's quite uneven. Some are really good, some are page-turners that I wouldn't read again, others i've abandoned early on. I like the short stories and novellas best.

Olympic Cognac, orange curacao, orange juice, orange bitters Subbed in Grand Marnier for the curacao, should probably have gone for Triple Sec. A bit drier than I was expecting, but nice.

Yes, and do not veto picks because you haven't heard of them "they are not notable enough". (Jeremy Clarke) Let them sink or swim by obit.

Sat 30 Sep 22 Eurythmics — Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) +4 20 A-Ha — Take On Me 06 Tears For Fears — Everybody Wants To Rule The World -6

That was counter-productive, because I had to stop and see if you'd ninjaed me.

We're not just continuing in this thread, are we? A new thread for the new game would be tidier as all the teams and scoring would be on the first page and easy to find. I'd like to make some changes to my team. Dianne Feinstein was my no 3 sub, so hardly worth replacing at this late stage, but just in case, Steve McMichael.

If it was me, I'd cancel his scores. You made your opinion very clear.

Magnificent. Surely written with Charlie in mind.

Fri 29 Sep 40 Eurythmics — Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) +4 26 Tears For Fears — Everybody Wants To Rule The World -4 26 A-Ha — Take On Me -2 Not really bothered, tbh. They're all very good, but there were some I like better.

Michael Gambon for me and a few others.
