Today I learned that there is such thing as a grand-master of tea - I'm fairly sure my Gran was one of those before she died! I also learned that 2 of your picks Kaikala Satyanarayanayanayanayana (I know how to spell it, I just don't know when to stop) and Subroto have failed to make the starting line. They are replaced by the rather more prosaic Gianluca Vialli and Linda Nolan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

time 8,599 Posted December 31, 2022 I've never entered this before, but it occurred to me I had the makings of a team already picked out from my "Randoms who Might" DDP team which has turned into "Randoms who Didn't", so I thought just add a couple of extra names, find a couple of subs just in case, and send it in here! So here it is: Ann Hamilton from Morecambe & Wise Ann Haydon-Jones tenniser aka Ann Jones Arthur Cox Football Manager Billy Mills US 10k Olympic winner aka Tamakoce Te'Hila Bob Langley Pebble Miller Bobbie Gentry of Ode to Billie Joe Bonnie Bramlett of Delaney & Bonnie Chita Rivera From Broadway Clarence Carter Patches Dyan Cannon Alice Actress Frank Blunstone Ex-Footballer, earliest surviving England International Gordon Lee Football Manager Graham Kerr Galloping Gourmet James Cosmo Go-to Scots actor Jean-Claude Killy Skier Jeanette Charles The Queen <<<<<<<<<<<<<<JOKER/WILDCARD John Gorman Scaffolder/Tiswas Kris Kristofferson Convoy Laurence Fox Ex-actor, now just a guy with a massive chip on his shoulder Louis Mellis Sexy Beast Peter Shelley Not the Buzzcock, the Coo-ca-choo writer Rita Moreno From the films Roger McGough Scaffolder/poet Terry Cox Pentangle-ist Yves Saint-Martin French Jockey Subs Jimmy Melia Football Manager, took Brighton to FA Cup Final Michael Aspel From the BBC 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No idea where the cunt is. Managed to find his forum. All that’s left of it is an angry incel and a bitter convict having a hate-wank together, and neither of them are Deathray; he appears to have abandoned it ages ago. My guess is he’s either checked into a rehab facility or been consumed by a cult, so I wouldn’t bank on him entering. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
