Grim Up North

I’m sure he’s on a lot of our lists for later rounds if we should be fortunate enough to make it. can someone do me a favour please - my work system won’t let me access the site and on my phone I don’t get all the teams even on landscape - the last column I can see is the one containing my team - could someone please post my opponents team. many thanks in advance

Been listening to that buzzing sound for last 48 hours. I’m in

Graham Caveney still on the go

BBC article I only link to this because towards the end of the article it says this ’Princess Anne and Princess Andrew were mong…’ i think a proof reader is required.

My current team of 4 are going to need most of that to find sone hopefully very short term friends to play with.

First time my joker has ever died in the Hare’s so I’ll take it as a positive. (And I still think this should more correctly be the Tortoise’s Death Pool but years of history etc)

It’s always a difficult excuse to make isn’t it when you’re in hospital with an ill relative - sorry I’ll need to spend a few hours away from the hospital today as I’ve got to pick 11 really ill hospitalised people with a modicum of notability who might die in the next month.

Would that be a seeded draw?

Okay if I’m number 5 seed I’d better enter

When he finally dies I don’t think it will be a big funeral - they’ll probably spend peanuts on it.

Random resurrection of old thread but my wife took me to see One Life last night (because she likes Johnny Flynn) but I came on here to learn some more. The film was slightly dull but successfully had me crying at the That’s Life reunion and also made me aware of the story which was heroic.

I would have thought the names in the wrong order and with a comma between them would have been the main pisser in that entry.

Now submitted. I am excited to see what magical things may occur upon reaching 60 teams!

GUN Fishing is in - thanks to all the Committee - ongoing and past members. I probably won't play all the other stuff this year but enjoy. Cheers.

Just so there are no similar mistakes today we have already achieved our 3 kills.

Sorry that’s wrong The Crystals and Dean Martin were both already killed yesterday (Eartha hater).
