    Well done Death Impends, and like ladyfiona, thanks to An Fear Beag for running the pool. For an Aussie from convict blood, who can't add up or read rules correctly, I am pleased that I was in the top 10 for the 1st time ever. Yeah me! Good luck to all for the new year.

    Christ on a fucking bike, WhoamI. You've been playing this pool literally from Day 1, and still Rule 1.1 eludes you:

     

    1) Your Team

    1. All teams must contain 25 people

    All 5 subs move up to the main team, and you can count yourself lucky that I guessed you meant Ray Lawler.

     

    (But thanks for playing again and best of luck, from a cold, wet and miserable Ireland).

    You're a good man, despite what others say!!!! Thanks mate.

    How many points does someone get for Pope Benedict? Asking for a friend.

      250 point bonus if one of your "celebrities" dies on 31st December in that game year (i.e a 31st death will score 614 points in a normal year or 615 points in a leap year rather than the 364 or 365 points it would normally accrue)

    Thanks for the entry WhoamI. 

     

    Two things I have learned this morning:

    1. You can ski in Australia - who knew?

    2. After 2 years of doing this pool, I have just realised that the last letter of your name is an I and it spells Who am I. For two years I thought it was a lower case L and couldn't figure out what the name meant!

    I have 2 degrees you know, one at Masters level. And yet I am still as thick as pigshit at times :facepalm:

     

    You would almost qualify for an Aussie. We all are bit thick this time of year. Cricket & beer responsible.
