Incidentally, Alan Simpson was the 1,550th hit I have reported on since I became host...

Too late to be included in the latest update which is now up...

Yes, I was thinking earlier that the "daft useless bimbos"* thread was her spiritual home. * for the benefit of n00bs, that was the former subtitle of this thread, or something similar I think they should bring back the original subtitle of this thread, to also include the male-version of bimbo (what is the male equivelant to bimbo in English by the way?) Himbo...

Schieder was probably my greatest individual hit and 2008 my best year (although I finished in 6th, one place below my debut year in 2006). That was pure research snagging him. I was proud of the Rowan Ayers pick as I was a big fan of his son, Kevin...I never returned to that kind of form again.

Sent.

An update is due this week, so I may work on the pics first before tacking the biog info...

You could do a couple of the less taxing letters, while I tackle the bigger beasts...

Thanks for reminding me. I was going to a list of what's been done so far. They are: 0-9 A F G H I J L O P Q R V Y Z D, K & S are currently being worked on. That leaves N (18), T (26), F (31), C (52), W ( M (74) & B (80) still to do...

Chas out of Chas and Dave has been diagnosed with cancer of the oesophagus. Too much rabbit?

No, it's just I forgot to indicate that you were a theme team on my database! Easy to fix for the next update...

Every year I think this is going to be the the year the Scots will win the Six Nations and every year I'm left disappointed even though I'm a plastic paddy!

Latest update covering the rest of January...

The rules were not circumvented as you suggested the change before the deadline in the same way that a team can be sent in with duplicate celebs or missing celebs which are quickly rectified by the entrant. Campbell (and your team) will remain in the competition. I think entry procedures should be made clearer for 2018...

Let's face it Corbyn is as much in favour of Brexit than Farage, just for different reasons...

That makes it 36 hits in January 2017, matching the record set last January...

Don't they know there are other months in the year to die?

Did you PM me the teams? Did you send an email?

You might be right...

Former Chairman of the BBC Board of Governors, Christopher Bland, has died aged 78. No links yet.

Do your own dead pool then. I'm sick of this fucking moan, moan fucking moan. I've worked by balls off for EIGHT FUCKING YEARS and all I get it "Mi Mi Mi Mi Mi!" If you don't like the rules, don't fucking enter. Simple as fucking that. That's it. 2017 is MY LAST YEAR. PERIOD. Someone else can fucking do it. I'm sick of my time being wasted like this. Someone else can take up the fucking cudgel and spend hour after hour, entering teams, making updates etc etc and having to put up with moaning minnies every fucking year. I've taken it as far as i can go. No more. and Paul Lambert can fuck off an' all...

No.

Absolutely superb actor. He will be sadly missed...

Latest update. Joeyruss's contribution and YoungWillz's 2nd are not loaded into the database yet...

Rules are up now...
