Octopus of Odstock

Because my first DDP entry contained loads of Octogenarians. Trying to think of other Octo words I failed miserably & could only think of Octopus. I added Odstock as 1) It starts with O 2) I was born there 3) Odstock needs the publicity. I would very much like to change my name but I can't be arsed. Decided I might as well stick with it for this forum as well rather than be clever. Thing is I have lots of Nonagenarians & Centerians (sp.) in the DDP 2006 entry, so maybe I think about a change in 2007....

Well, he's got a point, look at Rick Parfitt. On my possible list then cancer-free so off. Good thing I held back. I am Octopus of Odstock (obviously). Doing pretty well this year but have seen myself slide from 2nd down to about equal 17th where I am now. Super-strong DDP team in 2006 I think. My joker is a gamble but one that might just pay off dividends. Should be an interesting competition - I alwys look forward to seeing who people have chosen at the start of the year.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surviving_Vet...First_World_War says there are 85 left but some plonker has included two from a TV documentary shown recently. All very well & good but those two have since died as the programme is three years old. It is pretty certain that Ross of Australia, the three Canadians & most of the British-based veterans, especially Patch & Allingham will get enough coverage when they die.
