    I am not in a glass house.  And don't put words in my mouth.   It makes you look ignorant.  Prove your point on the merits.  I didn't make a comment with the word basketball in it, now did I?  

     

    No, but you did once pick a basketball player in the Hartlepool DP. 

    And then got all shirty because you hadn't read the rules & scoring, which state that US baseball and basketball players score negative points. :D

    John who now?

     

    England Test cricketer, a familiar name in my childhood.  Had cancer some years ago, but said to have hit it for six with mistletoe treatment.

    I red about Eduard Von Falz Fein who died on the 17th of november 2018 at the age of 106. He didn’t die because of his age but because of a fire accident in his housse. I find it quit impressive to see that his age is not the  reason of his death. Do you know some old celebrities who died because or something else than their age or illness ?

    Buddy Holly..... Plane crash

    Paul Walker.......car crash

    etc, etc, etc. 

     

    Or am I not understanding your question? 

     

    I think you need to read it again.

    I wanted to say that he's the man, who created this bomber. He was an aviation engineer.

     

    I'm glad you didn't, as Time's reply gave me the biggest laugh I've had in a while.

    By the way, it was clear what you meant,  nothing wrong with the phrase you used.  It just has two meanings, literal and metaphorical.

    I like that the start of this pool avoids the end-of-year rush, but I wish it ran for a year.  It all seems to be over so quick.

    Would be nice but gawd, the chances of more cards being hit and the calculations of bonuses...it's fun as it is I think, if it were to run for a year I'd have to re-jig the thing to keep it interesting.

     

    Well, that's the thing really.  I never feel I've had enough time to get the most out of the cards I had.
