As you said you were having PM issues would you like subs to replace folk who died before the start in a new pm or just in this thread after the 15th? I can think of at least one person on my team too eager who has jumped the gun.

you can put your new sub in this thread, it's easier to keep track that way

Martti Ahtisaar is the first hit of the 2023-2024 edition and a solo one for @Commtech Sio Bibble : congrats, that was quick !

No you are right, I am mixing up two entirely different ill Christophers! My mistake, everything's fine.

He was also a pick for me in Windy City. Didn’t know who he was for the turn of the year until I read an article saying he’ll be gone by Halloween, which was a fairly accurate prediction!
