time 8,641 Posted July 20 By way of a diversion, when I came to update the database for Bob Newhart the other day, I got an error message saying "This app can't run on your PC". Anyway, following much googling and head-scratching, I think I've fixed it. I shall find out next update! (Newhart & Reardon were updated via laptop, so even if it turns out I haven't fixed it, there's another way, just takes so much longer!) 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Once a serial tweeter, she barely posted anything after the 1st July, just one small tweet re. US fire fighters. She had said she was told she wouldn't make her birthday in September. Although I am now just a Chuwit Kamolvisit death away from taking the lead, like with Rob Burrow, I take no joy in this hit. Sorry to see her go. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I make a poor deathlister, I've only heard about this on North West Tonight just now. Really sad, Beccy was a really sunny personality on North West news bulletins, and clearly fit, healthy and active. Cancer really is a bastard sometimes. Rest in peace, Beccy.

Octopus of Odstock 2,206 Posted July 27 Just checked the top 25 - both my maths and handwriting might be slightly out but these are the most picked of the top 25. However, it's more likely it'll be the ones picked solely by one top team that might make the difference - so the likes of Matt James, Elmore Smith, James Carter Cathcart, Steve Gaines, Eddie Annand, Charlotte Raven, Andy Taylor, Adrian Sutton et al could still be the difference. Of course, the other, albeit unlikely factor, is an obit for Joe Shannon or Kieran Cavanagh. McMichael 21 Rantzen 19 Tilson Thomas 18 Whale 18 Carter 17 Burrell 15 Murray 13 Nolan 10 Starmer Smith 7 Mutombo 6 Maxwell 6 Godley 6 Caveney 6 Jensen 6 Doering 6 Flack 6 Caprio 5 Bart 5 Darby 4 Wilis 4 Hilland 4 Kamolvisit 2 Wallace 2 Lundgren 2 Scolyer 2 Linden 2 Lee J 2 Neill 2 Baker T 2 Ashton 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Grimace 359 Posted July 27 @Octopus of Odstock - the factor I'd considered to have the most weight was the jokers yet to be cashed in.... it is wide open as there are still 157 days left. Jokers awarded – many Jonnie Irwin and Rob Burrow; one Derek Draper, one Becky Barr, one Shannen Doherty None of the top three have Theo Burrell. Jokers Outstanding Rank runner (current points) – joker (points) =8 Going Underground (101) – Craig Maxwell (20) 15 2025? No thank you! (97) – Theo Burrell (26) 18 I will not die… (95) - Theo Burrell (26) =23 Droller Coaster (88) – Jimmy Carter (16)* =23 The Love Boat (88) – Steve McMichael (22) =23 Tombstone Ticklers (88) - Jimmy Carter (16)* *caveat - falls to 14 if he makes 100 (insert joke) Regarding low point D40 potentials. A low score D40 (Carter, Chomsky) hit gives 8 points. And another hit aged 30-69 and that’s another 10 to 8 points, so 16 to 18 points. I’ll blame your handwriting for this one. I thought it odd that he wouldn’t be picked by the top 25 runners. Chomsky (4 picks) 4th place It’s a Grim World After All (105), =20th place Day in the Death (91), 22th Carkers Convention 2024 (89), =23rd The Love Boat (88) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although Barr was worth less points than Burrow, Irwin, Draper and Doherty, arguably it was the biggest gain overall due to just 1 other of the top 25 picking her (20 point gain, compared to 13 for Burrow and 12 for the other three).... If this makes sense? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
