General Election 2024?
Grim Up North replied to maryportfuncity's topic in DeathList extra-curricular
There were jokes? I think I missed them. My main amusement of the hour was my wife’s bemusement at batch cooking being quoted as a sign of financial hardship. -
Very sad indeed. RIP Rob. we should remember that he had a wonderful yet horribly short adult life prior to his diagnosis where he was a sporting legend with hero status doing something he loved and from what I have seen on the documentaries married a wonderful person too and had a fabulous friend in Kevin Sinfield. None of this changes the horrible way he died but there is a life there to be celebrated too - he should not be defined by MND.

In 1994 the equivalent would be who? Oasis?

So for all the terminally thick people except Willz?

25% of cowboys were black. who knew from watching the old Hollywood films? is it important to know that? No idea? But when you watch a modern western it’s easy to think they have put black actors in where they don’t belong for woke reasons which is incorrect - it’s actually the righting of the historical inaccuracy in the old western movies.

Just to make you feel not alone this is an amazing feat that I have been enjoying reading about today - she ran the Lakes in a Day a couple of years ago when I did it which is a mere 51.5 miles and 13,000 feet climbing from north to south of Lake District - she finished about 3.5 hours ahead of me that day (roughly 10:20 to 13:50 hours) - but I think she did it as a training jog whereas it nearly killed me! She is quite something. -
The question easier to explain is why is de Gaulle under G and de Niro under D. It depends whether the person setting up the name in the database chooses the surname as De Gaulle or Gaulle and De would effectively become a middle name. There is so little consistency over the site already on this that there is little point setting up a rule at this point. So answer to your question is that Gaulle has been selected as surname and McCourt has been selected as surname.

But is that not a photo of Rohit Sharma, India Test captain? -

I preferred the Sophia Loren team!

Which just demonstrates how much work is required for hosts policing the FFBI rules - nearly everyone wants them but in a pool like this a lot of us are trying to run the line.

I’d be in mourning if she died any month of the year

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

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)
