@Summer in Transylvania stole Jimmy Carter

I am convinced that the Musk/Zuckerberg rivalry is largely just for show what seems to be happening here is a veritable Tower of Babel To paraphrase The people of the earths decided to build a tower to reach for heaven but God saw that this challenged him and therefore sent his angels amongst the people so they all began speaking in different tongues This could easily be seen as a parable for a situation that you see where social media has allowed activism and ideas to rapidly be exchanged and communicated which may be considered as a challenge to the establishment (God) and the best way to dilute those voices is to send them all to spearate platforms, Threads, Mastodon, Blue Sky. I am staying on Twitter until it no longer functions or demands money off me

We just need seven people to down vote Jeepster

Clearly there has been a concerted effort to work together to bring this down

I like the idea of this game and I am making the suggestions below entirely free from judgement I do not say they would enhance the game but might make it more competitive However as game runner it is your decision what you include for the second round (whenever we get round to that) Should the central name be a unique on a first come first served basis? - this would be an incentive to go in early and public Should there be rules about the years? such as must be from separate decades or be at least five years apart Just thoughts

FTFY How many competitive matches has he played for Spurs - The exact same number as times Spurs have won the Premier League

and was the mother of Zaphod Beeblebrox - Mark Wing Davey

Congrats @ladyfiona you get your point for Arnaldo Forlani but premature entries before the English Obit are a step too far @Summer in Transylvania ha stolen Jimmy Carter and I will leave it to other players to determine if they are going to cause you more headaches 1923 Vic Seixas/Gloria Whelan  1924 William Russell/Eve Marie Saint 1925 Pete Murray/Ysanne Churchman 1926 Timothy Dudley-Smith/Doreen Mantle 1927 Sandy Gall/Leontyne Price 1928 Tom Lehrer/Queen Ratna of Nepal 1929 John Woodvine/K.M.Peyton 1930 Douglas Hurd/Edna O'Brien  1931 Ken Bates/Leslie Caron 1932 Roy Hattersley/Prunella Scales

Just had a review of my team. I deliberately went for those that I felt could last at least six months but I think I have been unlucky not to pick up a single hit. I will be patient* * and probably watch about half a dozen of them die in January 2024

@Wormfarmer Can I have writers as a claim to fame?

There are probably half a dozen I want to see the back of. It does seem No.2 does not suffer from the horrendous novelty tracks we had in No.1s
