Damn, I thought I took him out!

Here's an example of what needs to be updated: She's gone through another marriage since then!

Whilst looking under "C", I've noticed there should be 2 Brian Cox's - the actor and the TV physicist...

Actually I did make an addition to it last year, but didn't change the master database so it's the old one again. Let's put it under irony...

The existing bios are well overdue for an update. The QE2 one was probably written way back in 2003!

Graham Taylor's recent passing means that both managers of the 1984 FA Cup final have died (the other being Howard Kendall). So who remains in the dugout from the other finals of that decade? 1980: West Ham United v Arsenal John Lyall (d. 2006) & Terry Neil (b. 1942) 1981: Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester City Keith Burkinshaw (b. 1935) & John Bond (d. 2012) 1982: Tottenham Hotspur v Queens Park Rangers Terry Venables (b. 1943) 1983: Manchester United v Brighton & Hove Albion Ron Atkinson (b. 1939) & Jimmy Melia (b. 1937) 1984: Everton v Watford Howard Kendall (d. 2015) & Graham Taylor (d. 2017) 1985: Manchester United v Everton 1986: Liverpool v Everton Kenny Dalglish (b. 1951) 1987: Coventry City v Tottenham Hotspur John Sillett (b. 1936) / George Curtis (b. 1939) & David Pleat (b. 1945) 1988: Wimbledon v Liverpool Bobby Gould (b. 1946) 1989: Liverpool v Everton Colin Harvey (b. 1944)

I don't think the database/hta could cope with no entry for the team name at all...

All I can say is that it's really worth looking though the List of the Lost before entering your team...

Actually, after a re-count there's is no change in the personnel of the Drop 40, just in a slightly different order. No new additions...

I see. How odd...

Right, some news. This morning I received a couple of emails, the upshot of which 4 teams will be added to the roster, meaning we will have 541 teams. This has had a knock-on effect on the Drop 40, so that's being re-jigged. Watch this space...

I don't think he's missing in the "missing" sense, merely gone to ground...TJS may better explain why he was included though.

Neither!

It's a duplicate...

Amber Snailham. Tricky. By chance she could have her birthday in December. If we could verify her birth date then I would remove/retain her place. But if it's unverifiable then she'd have to go...

It's a nice thing that Montero was picked by another team. I can just delete the duplicate and link the original code to the Western theme team!

Yeah. The Ivanka/Ivana mix-up was me misreading the two as one, so I had to hastily put in Ivanka, but of course I did it to the wrong team!

There are also a couple of teams that have really gone for broke with the not-so-famous sick ones...

I think another one has as well - Death-o-mater?

My favourite new team names: Heads of Fate, His and Hearse, Grief Encounter, Dead Kennedys & Fat kids always win at seesaw!

Not up yet. Still needs work. I haven't looked at the new theme teams yet. No List of the Lost either because there's no one in it yet!

Might have to change the skull icons on the scorecard though. he new scheme throws them into relief a bit, but that's a minor quibble...

Can anyone else not see the new update? F5 it like a bastard!

One thing I noticed when inputting the teams is that as far as the leading contenders are concerned (and I reckon up to a couple of dozen teams have a chance) is that the age of the unique pick is over...

We're up!
