I would politely request you do not because I think we are getting down to some really tough choices to decide who goes through. Difficult to call. -

IIRC the middle group of the 70's No.1s was a struggle. This is why punk had to happen -

Most of the people they chose to show said that. We don't know how many people they talked to set "get the bastards out asap" -

I am reasonably happy with the Top 11 but I think Olly Murs might be just a little too light weight to last long when we have lost what has sunk to the bottom of the table -

I thought that was the better of the two Tinie Tempah songs in contention -
Because I was born in the year of decimilisation my mum saved one of the first 50p coins she got. She also used to organise Christian Aid envelope collections so when she counted up if she found any foreign coins she would swap them with what appeared to be the closest UK denomination and put the rest in my collection. It is all in the loft now but there are some Edward VII coins in there

They can vary somewhat. My wife has some Lesley Anne Ivory cat plates and my late Mother-in-law had a complete set of Queen Mother's favourite flower plates which do look quite nice when displayed together but I will admit there are some shockers

You're Welcome -
You will note that two of my pools are long term pools which can last up to 2 years each and can often go for months without needing an update. This is the exception and I inherited this because I enjoyed playing it so much Thank you for your kind words

Ready to do battle and steal those picks from your fellow players Its fast and fun but you need to be on the ball but if you miss a round or two you can join in at any time Basically the aim of the game is to pick 20 candidates from the years 1924-1933.You need 2 from each year and you must have one male and one female from each year. Candidates only qualify if they have a national news article about their death in English and or an obituary. The game does not start until 1 January 2024 (UK Time Zone) and no teams can be posted before this time and will continue until the end of the year. As soon as one candidate from anyone`s list dies the pool will be immediately restarted and it is first come first serve. You can even be a bitch and steal someone`s entire list if you wish. Its a competitive game. The overall winner will be the person with most hits in the year. The pool restarts as soon as a link from the the qualifying article is posted verifying age of the deceased (by their own standard). No two players can have duplicate picks and the age given in the article will be accepted as soon as the article is published and pasted to this site. It has to be decisive at the time the news breaks. If the age they give is different to the year of birth you don`t get a hit unless it is amended before another death that meets the criteria of a hit. There have been a number of cases where two or more deaths break at about the same time. If a later breaking death occurs but it actually happened before the start of the new round you will be awarded the point if you had the earlier death in your team at the point that they died. I will do my best to be fair and even handed. There is no limit to the number of players and you can enter the round at any point. You may even miss some rounds if they are quick. You do not need an admin to confirm your pick if you have a QO to post your next round team but you may be challenged if it in any way suspect.
