Wait... there is a daily double bonus???

Oh just give a daily double bonus and I'll be happy! (Sorry)

I admit, if Spade had played, I would have picked Trent. Probably instead of P-Orridge.

Indeed, congratulations!

My theme team pick Kato Havas has died, and it was published yesterday. However, it turns out she died on the 31st of December. Is my sub Zubin Metha coming in or am I out of luck?

My theme team pick Kato Havas has died: https://www.thestrad.com/news/kato-havas-has-died-aged-98/8547.article And now the wait for an obit begins... Edit: However, Wikipedia has her as dying on the 31st of December... sub?

I don't know... the Brexiteers only wanted someone at the top who would utterly fail to do something vaguely constructive. They needed a useful idiot. Theresa May had an impossible task and she was dumb enough (sorry!) to try it because she likes the sweet, sweet power. Now she may sit in the Hall of Shame of worst prime ministers next to David Cameron.

Am I doing this right? I want everyone below Carol Channing to move up a slot and my sub Clive James at nr 25.

Florida representative Alcee Hastings has pancreatic cancer: http://www.dailyjournal.net/2019/01/14/us-alcee-hastings-cancer/ The 82-year old democrat is "optimistic" and plans to stay in office. I would post him in the Ideas and Possibilities thread... but I don't think he's going to make it that far. Edit: Meh, I should have said " I'm not optimistic". Stupid posting while being in the tram.

Thanks Wormfarmer for hosting it again. My January team: 5 pts: Fernando Ricksen 4 pts: Peter Tobin 3 pts: Andrew McGahan 2 pts: Edmund Capon 1 pt: Jamie Spears Edit: Assumption that it's ok to have someone in the same place. Editedit: If that rule is reinstated, can we maybe get an "official announcement" and that it begins with February? I liked the rule, too.

Sad. He had his up and downs through the years. My recent longlist revision showed me that he was not so good last fall. It was a bit vague though.

Well, your history post puts me in the mood, I have to say!

Ha, I forgot I picked her here. And only on 8th place, too.

Very well done, Spade, thank you for all the hard work! And quite fast, too - I suspect that you are building a structure that speeds up the process for the future. The site now looks like it belongs in this decade, ha! I can only guess how hard it must be to build on a 15-year old system and to adapt it to the smartphone world. So the work isn't completely done yet? Well, looks like you are on the right track.

Well... Coda 2 now has the minimal target of outperforming Coda 1! We both picked Mikis Theodorakis. I rejected Leontyne Price. Coda 1 picked Yoko Ono, I picked her ex-husband. Very happy to see 5 unique picks on my team. Just a slight disappointment that Jacci Woodcock wasn't one - that other team did not forget her! But quite lucky to have Paul Volcker unique. Let's see how it goes. I quite confidently expect an overall improvement over last year - on all fronts.
