    haha - and (just like Tom Henry) I’m not going to make later rounds.
  2. 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?

    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

    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.

    HARE'S DEATH POOL 2024

    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.

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

    Sir Nicholas Winton

    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.
