Shit Betty White was my nº1 spot prediction… can I replace her with Jimmy Carter then ?

 

Yes, no problem. Where should your sub Prunella Scales step in?

Move them up for me. If I even had her

You did, at No. 2. The Duke of Kent jumps in at No. 50.

Congratulations msc, great result with +79 points taking into account we have 20 new  appearances this year.

Thanks to book for running that game :clap:

That's incredible msc, given the number of newbies on the list. :clap: You're  clearly attuned to the Committee's thought process, even if you don't always agree with it. A 20 point margin puts you well on top too!

 

Happy with 4th, slightly astounded in fact, think my chance of second was lost when I chose James Whale and not Shane McGowan for the coveted No. 50 spot. Never mind, always next year!

I tried to get in their heads, so kept Akihito, Shane and Greenspan even if I'd have dropped them. Also, I have just twigged out today predicting returnees and newcomers can outweigh getting 20 picks wrong if you get enough of the former.

Genuinely thought for a second "Did I take him out...?" then discovered underneath almost every team had picked him - including me. :lol:
