Shame, Sondheim was an absolute legend (words I use rarely) who wrote some songs I love.

[YoungWillz 19,103]

I think several Into The Woods references are necessary to notice the death of Sondheim.

 

So, a unique hit for Gooseberry Crumble, it's been Agony waiting for his first hit, and while we Lament Sondheim's passing, I Guess This Is Goodbye at last. With Bernstein now, there are Giants In The Sky, and Ever After, everyone has played at least one card, so No One Is Alone.

[YoungWillz 19,103]

With David Gulpilil being one of this year's most popular picks, you could say the shuffling about on the Leaderboard is Much Abo About Nothing.

 

Too many teams to mention individually escaped through the Rabbit Proof Fence with pointage - if you picked him, you know who you are.

@YoungWillz apparently you can’t currently receive messages, so may I convert my joker into whatever card that’ll give me the most points please!

I'll have a look. Just want me to award the card if any that accrues highest award I assume.

Right, there was only one obvious contender.

 

Perhaps converts Black Joker into 6 Spades.

Hi YW - looks like 10 clubs would be best card for my black joker please.

 

Cheers, GUN

Cheers, GUN

Yes, I agree, leaves open the possibility of a flush in the future, as the 10 Spades would not give you the same openings.

 

So Grim Up North converts Black Joker to 10 Clubs.

 

Bonuses:

 

Straight (A, K, Q, J, 10) - 30 Points; Straight (K, Q, J, 10, 9) - 30 Points - Total - 60 Added Points.

A guy walks into an Indian restaurant. He says to the waiter "Don't know what I'd like, something not too fatty, maybe vegetarian?"

 

"Ah" the waiter replies, "you'll be wanting our lean dahl".

 

And on that terrible pun, the death of flame haired Hollywood beauty Arlene Dahl has been announced. An unique for Torva Messor here.

 

No bonuses, leaderboard updated.

Liverpool footballer Ray Kennedy has died after a long battle with Parkinsons. Poor Michael and Mary.

 

Anyhow, an unique for Sean who has persistently picked Kennedy here and this year it struck.

 

No bonuses, leaderboard updated.

[An Fear Beag 1,354]

Less than 3 hours to go, so I suppose I had better cash in my Joker. 

 

I'll have the King of Spades please.

 

(And  a QO for Belinda Sykes would be nice, if you have one lying around!)

 

 

[Toast 14,847]

My joker pick is still alive, so I don't need to do anything, right?

Yes, only when the Joker is played can it then be converted. And it can only be played when the pick is dead and has a QO.

 

Note that after today, players have 48 hours from when the death is announced on the thread to convert their Joker. 

[YoungWillz 19,103]

The Mistress of the Robes has died. Well, laundry is hard when you are 101!!

 

The Duchess of Grafton's death is good Fortune Fitzroy for Yorkshire Banker, an unique hit.

[YoungWillz 19,103]

Dole's a popular pick. There will be a short hiatus before updating, as I'm going through the grieving process of losing a pick for the DDP next year seconds after sending my teams on the email.

 

(There may also be some swearing coming from the manager's office - don't worry!)

[YoungWillz 19,103]

Well, Bob Dole, Senator, Leader, Presidential Candidate blah blah blah is dead. Probably the pick of the pops and like a typical fucking American he's making me work on a Sunday! Too many players to mention picked him, if you didn't you got nothing.

 

Suppose I'd better dole out some points.

 

Bonuses:

 

Guy From Future plays 3 Spades - Pair 3s - 10 Points
theoldlady plays 5 Clubs - Pair 5s - 10 Points; Flush (3, 5, 6. 7, J Clubs) - 40 Points - Total - 50 Points
msc - 2 Clubs - Pair 2s - 10 Points; Two Pair (2s and 10s) - 15 Points - Total - 25 Points

Joey Russ plays 4 Hearts - Pair 4s - 10 Points
Perhaps plays 9 Clubs - Pair 9s - 10 Points; Two Pair 9s and 10s - 15 Points; Two Pair 9s and 6s (Hearts and Clubs) - 15 Points; Two Pair 9s and 6s (Hearts and Spades) - 15 Points; Two Pair 9s and 6s (Clubs and Spades) - 15 Points; Full House - 6s over 9s - 80 Points - Total - 150 Points
Grim Up North plays A Hearts - 5 Points; Pair As - 10 Points; Straight (A Hearts, K, Q, J, 10) - 30 Points - Total - 45 Points
Captain Chorizo plays 4 Hearts - Pair 4s - 10 Points; Two Pair 4s and 9s - 15 Points; Two Pair 4s and Qs (Spades and Hearts) - 15 Points; Two Pair 4s and Qs (Spades and Clubs) - 15 Points; Two Pair 4s and Qs (Hearts and Clubs) - 15 Points; Full House Qs over 4s - 80 Points - Total- 150 Points

 

And with that, gcreptile loses the long held lead to Captain Chorizo, but who is that I see trying to steal the crown again this year? Perhaps, with a canny cash in of the Joker, has a bumper crop of points again. It's terribly congested at the top, this could all come down to the spin of a Roulette Wheel at the end of the month!

 

Oh my, tis exciting.

[YoungWillz 19,103]

Your manager has been a little distracted lately but I don't get bereavement leave.

 

Danish goalie Hogh has seen his Lars day. CalebH kept him on the subs bench, safely unique, and draws 7 Clubs for 7 added points.
