    Ha I thought you had your head in the clouds but it was wedged elsewhere.

    The EU Referendum Hokey Cokey

    Yeah that would work too but less Bercow action with your option so I prefer mine. Or or even better they could have a Brexit options World Cup with the top 32 possibilities all drawn into 8 groups of 4 and playing off against each other in a series of round robin votes with top 2 in each group going through to last 16 and it being straight knockout from there through to final. Ooooh the drama.............

    The EU Referendum Hokey Cokey

    I’m sure there must be a reason why this approach is not being used but it seems quite easy to solve the current deadlock. Start with 10 options - all MPs vote - option with least votes drops out. Vote again with only the 9 options - option with least votes drops out. Voting stops when one option has clear majority. If final vote is tied PM has casting vote. If winning vote is not Mrs May’s deal then they would have to go back to EU but at least they would have sorted their shit out.

    Yeah me too. The last time there were no deaths in a month we all simply kept the same teams for the next month and two teams were eliminated at end of the month. So I think that was theoldlady question that you responded to with a 'correct'. But then you go on to totally contradict this by stating that msc and you have submitted teams and you are going to publish the April summary table when most of April teams are in??? Based on your first answer I'm not planning to submit an April team because it's my March team rolled over???

    Clive James

    He won't die until final episode of GOT has aired - he's been hanging on for it. So 5 weeks from 14th/15th April (after 20th May) then he could die any time. Winter is here.

    The 2019 Deathlist Cup

    Well done Captain Chorizo - last time I won on a coin toss, this time you won on your joker pick - so I think that over two ties we've had exactly same selections die! Good luck in next round. Cheers, GUN.

    Steady on - I'm just working a bit late and having a spicy chilli with some chocolate and sea salt and black pepper cashews.

    Lot of sense in this speech from the AfD leader in the Bundestag Not that anyone will listen.

    May may not make May or maybe stay to early May or she may make late May.

    Tommy Donbavand isn’t going to die this month. So My Cup hopes probably rest with John Starling.

    Why are the Scottish Nationals so desperate to be a part of the Union but so desperate to be apart from the Union?

    The 2019 Deathlist Cup

    Respect to Joey and Banana For Banana to have 6 dead out of 11 in 18 days and still not be sure they are going to win is just ridiculous. For Joey to have 5 dead out of 11 in 18 days and still need at least 2 more to even have an outside chance is outrageous.

    The 2019 Deathlist Cup

    Yes (although it had nothing to do with the host bit).

    The 2019 Deathlist Cup

    Well if that were true that would be fine but I don't think that is the case. Barbara Hammer, as far as I can see, was first posted on the forum on 25th Feb so admittedly available to all to see at that point. msc submitted his team on 19th Feb to YW The conversation took place before then. So one of msc, gcr or Joey brought up the name to the other two or they could not have discussed. Anyhow I can't stop private conversations whether I think they are right or not so I'm either in with the rules as I now understand them or I'm out. Whichever though I do think it's a bit disappointing.

    The 2019 Deathlist Cup

    Yeah he was in my team as a highlighted definite until yesterday when I got up to 15 highlighted and had to start picking some out - he was a bad one to choose obviously! EDIT: If only I'd had someone to discuss it with..............

    Not that distracting as you, Joey and gcr all picked him

    The 2019 Deathlist Cup

    Well we know as a minimum that Reptile, msc and Joey are in the cooperative. Be interesting to hear from everyone else in the last 32 who is actually trying to compete on their own. I am obviously.

    The 2019 Deathlist Cup

    Well if we had been collaborating you wouldn't have missed Starling and I wouldn't have missed Bat. I thought pms were just used for team submissions and maybe general chat but sharing potential picks just smells a bit pissy. And if it smells like piss......

    The 2019 Deathlist Cup

    Well wtf? I thought it was every man for himself. So we need to gather allegiances like in GOT? Ha - how naive am I? This changes everything.
