Right, let's be honest, your casino host had a day out on the booze. I'll deal with all the catch up tomorrow...damn reaper knew I'd have a day off!! 

[YoungWillz 21,104]

Right I'm going to do this slowly and one at a time.

 

But enough about my houseboys! On with the updates, starting with Mick Bates, a Leeds United footballer who has gone to the great Elland Road in the sky.

 

A hit for both gcreptile and msc who are still duking it out in the Cup Final themselves.

Leaderboard updated.

[YoungWillz 21,104]

Good news! Edwin Edwards, former Louisiana Governor is out of hospice care. Bad News! He dead!

[YoungWillz 21,104]

Original Wrestlemania headliner Paul Orndorff, known as Mr Wonderful, crashes through the canvas for the last time. Hey, you don't try and sue WWE, know what I'm saying?

 

Hits for Salmon Mousse, Perhaps and Captain Chorizo. 

 

Bonus: Perhaps hits the Ace of Spades, the Ace of Spades - 5 Additional Points.

 

msc had Orndorff as a sub and draws 10 Clubs for 10 Points added.

 

While Perhaps (2020 Champ) clings to the top, Captain Chorizo (2019 Champ) moves into second and is only one potential card away from making a straight already!

Been a while, hasn't it?

 

I'm not aware at the point of writing of any further deaths. As we will all be congregating for a Zoom call for the Card Roulette draw tomorrow, just a reminder that you might want to let me know of anybody who has reached their use by date!

[msc 18,510]

Nope, apart from the two you noted already, I'm giving Msc's gift of life to all on my team so far! (As mentioned elsewhere, there are now 6 Gooseberry Crumble DDP hits since I last scored in the DDP, which is a run now weeks off being my worst ever! Hah)

[YoungWillz 21,104]

It's been a month already! It's gone faster than Dina Asher-Smith, like most of the girls who competed against her. At least we made the final!

 

Anyhow, here is the monthly Card Roulette Draw:
