    I will try to repost soon on page 1.

     

    There's no time limit on editing, so you can do a few at a time and add more when convenient.  No need to do them all at once.

    Gave a rare interview to the BBC where she talked about tennis. She looked fine but she was caked in makeup. Although she was seated her shoulders seemed very frail. Had no trouble recalling her encounter with Jana Novotna and even made a joke about being a royal. I'd be very surprised if she did go this year.

     

    Why wouldn't she remember that?  As far as I'm aware there's been no suggestion that there's anything mentally amiss with her.  She's had a number of health issues in the past though, and seems quite fragile.

    Jeff Sunderland, a decades-long Australian radio personality, has died while on the job.

     

     

    It might be better to say "died while at work", since on this side of the pond "on the job" has a different colloquial meaning ;)

    Any luck yet?

     

    As there's only an hour and a quarter to go, might want just to post your team in the thread...I dunno...

     

    Yes, that's what I was thinking, YW.  Although Wormfarmer didn't specify a time zone for closing.

    Oh well, here goes - I'll put it in spoiler tags.

    How did you manage that?  Mine still shows up as "not receiving messages".
