Made the radio 2 news summary at 2pm

Not a fan. I have only read two of his books and I regretted persevering with both of them. A couple of times I have picked up Helliconia Spring and failed to get beyond the first 30 pages

Brian Aldiss used to be like that. The Today programme must have had him on speed dial because whenever an SF writer died he would pop up and say they were good but not as good as me.

I once sat about three seats away from Isla Blair at The Other Place in Statford while her husband Julian Glover was performing his one man show of Beowulf

Hi I will replace Anthony Sher with Timothy Dudley-Smith Thanks

Wow. This is over quite quickly. Thank you to all for the congratulations. I feared this may be coming from the tone of the RSC statement they originally made. I was torn between Frank Field and Anthony Sher but I logged on during a comfort break in a meeting I was in an saw Frank had already been taken. Anthony Sher is a more me pick anyway I saw him play Macbeth in Stratford several years ago. Very sad but I will take the long-awaited win. By casual players do you mean people who play diligently but are crap?

They are not near death but I thought it was worth publishing anyway Arnold Rimmer and the bank manager who just turned down your last overdraft extension kidnap a laborer from a local building site to kidnap Simon Webbe from 2001

He was interviewed last week on the Today programme Lucid and with it

The Baseball thread was one that I used to skim over now I am all invested whenever I see it has been updated. Bobby is a popular pick

Yeah that works for me now but my entry is already in because I got it from the e-mail

Some younger posters may not even have heard of Santana and so would not make the connection To be fair some of the lucky ones may not have heard of Jon Bon Jovi

I have just put mine in as separate tabs on one sheet Hope it all works out Usual three teams are in

yes it does Just let me get this clear - do we attach the spreadsheet to an e-mail and can we put all three teams on the same sheet or should we do one for each?

same problem

John Goodenough - Chemistry Lech Walesa - Peace Alice Munro - Literature James Watson - Medicine Peter Higgs - Physics William Sharpe - Economics

Well @YoungWillz breaks his duck with the fifth unique hit of the game with Don Demeter Three of the five players who have unique hits only have their unique hit - myself included There are currently four players who have yet to hit a home run in this game @arghton @MariNisia @DeathByArsenic @YorkshireBanker Hoping this game manages to last into the New Year because I think things will be busy until The New Year

Sir Anthony Sher

David Gulpilil is a hit for @An Fear Beag with The Right Stuff which means that they are now in a winning position only needing Tom Dahlgren for the victory

Stephen Sondheim going Into the Wood delivers me my 33 hit

Bernard Cribbins has been confirmed as a guest for the DWAS Convention to be held in London in April 2022 I know this doesn't mean too much but at this current time his assessment of his own health means he thinks it is a reasonable thing to commit to

December 18

It's not well covered on Radio 4

The longer the game goes on the more significant hits like this are. When others share the same winning picks, uniques and total number of hits give you the edge

@drol Not a bad assessment but I am firmly in the No Wrestlers On The Deathlist grouping so I would take issue with one of your picks
