Congrats @MariNisia 1924 Russell M.

If Carter is still alive on 1st Jan 2025 there is no way he is not going to be on the list. If he dies before hand we will just remove him from this game and only need to eliminate 19. I did wonder whether committing to this game might start an avalanche of hits. Two of my Deathrace picks have gone already

If you use a placeholder please edit the placeholder post and not post the list in a separate post

I agree, my main use of this one is to acknowledge my own mistakes when they are pointed out.

Around this time there would always be a copy of NME in the lab office and Suede were the darlings of the music press. I listened to them expecting great things but am completely unmoved. If they were not doing so well I would probably leave them alone but I do not think they are worthy finalists

At least now we can't have our hopes continually dashed for four years Starmer is constantly disappointing us because he doesn't seem to be moving fast enough to dismantle the damage 14 years of Conservative rule have inflicted on the country but if your expectations are zero you won't be disappointed
