Thanks for the entry.

 

Joseph DeAngelo is disallowed under the "Famous for being a criminal" rule. I am sure he is quite a high profile killer in the US, having no less than 3 nicknames. However my wife is the barometer when it comes to criminal fame, and she has never heard of him, so he is out. James Baker moves up to the main team.

 

A note to all players. My wife hates all True Crime programmes and books, so the chances of her having heard of a criminal are pretty slim. There is a very high bar to clear for a criminal to be allowed.

I appreciate the notice. Thought it was worth a try haha. I'm American and he's quite infamous here but I found a lot of UK articles about him too.

Thanks for the entry. All good with the team, except that you also have forgotten to nominate a Joker. FFS people- its not that hard :angry:

 

Agnes Keleti is your Joker unless you indicate otherwise. 

 

As we get into Christmas, I am going to have less time to upload teams, so I will not be chasing people for Jokers. You have all been warned!

Always fascinates me to see what picks a player feels the need to clarify. You wouldn't want to have the wrong Bill Vander Zalm or Jimmy Swaggart on your team :lol:

Thanks for the entry Shamalka. Always delighted to have new players on board. 

 

I am going to assume that "Jim Carey" is supposed to  be Jim Carrey the actor, rather than Jim Carey the second-hand car salesman from Tipperary. Nice man Jim, but not famous enough even for this pool. 

 

As you have joined the ranks of players who haven't bothered their arses to nominate a Joker, Al Pacino (no h) becomes your Joker by default.

I believe that you may also be a new player in this pool. You are very welcome and best of luck.

 

(and Pope Francis is fine, although I admire the pedanticism)

Thanks for the entry LF, and thanks for submitting in an easy-to-use format. You even put the names in capital letters, which is more than the rest of the lazy bastards around here managed :angry:

 

However, I would ask again that players not to put in explanations of their picks, when it is bleedingly obvious who you mean. They all have to be deleted out before I put them into the spreadsheet I use, so it just adds to the time taken to process the entries. 

You can assume that I am not going to mix up Dennis Skinner, Eve Marie Saint, or Johnnie Irwin with anyone else, so there is no need to tell me who they are. Even if they are obscure, you only need to clarify if it is a common name (e.g. DeathbyArsenic's pick of Luis Ayala above - a google search shows three possible candidates)
