An Fear Beag 1,535 Posted December 31, 2021 Okay everybody - a little under 6 hours to go to get the entries in. Don't be afraid of the typical Deathray rant if you send in a team at the last minute - they are all welcome. l had promised to be too drunk to care at this stage. As it happens, I am off the booze but heavy on the Valium, so the effect is pretty much the same! Send them in whenever you like, so long as they are in before 12. We look like we have 43 teams in which equals the record, but I can't promise that my counting is accurate . Lets get a few more in to be sure the record is broken. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Two things I have learned this morning: 1. You can ski in Australia - who knew? 2. After 2 years of doing this pool, I have just realised that the last letter of your name is an I and it spells Who am I. For two years I thought it was a lower case L and couldn't figure out what the name meant! I have 2 degrees you know, one at Masters level. And yet I am still as thick as pigshit at times 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
