maryportfuncity 10,235 Posted June 1 Aye, congrats (provisionally) Drol I'll update the hall of fame and swap messages about a generous prize tomorrow, firstly because there's always the possibility that you didn't win and details will emerge of an (unlikely) quicker resolution to this gleefully rapid dead pool, and secondly because a night out including shameless noodling prog rock and a few pints beckons, so I might be otherwise engaged tonight. Wiki, btw, confirms today as his last Here's yer man in more upright and successfully respirating times: 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Immortal 574 Posted June 1 Congratulations Drol! Missed the entry (would have gone with Rupert Keegan or Salman of Saudi Arabia if I entered) but had no choice since I'll be at the KSC (Kennedy Space Center for those wondering) in just a few hours. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,235 Posted June 10 Sorry - bit tardy on this, but - as with almost all winners of my pools over the years - drol has opted for a charitable donation and I've gone with the tried and trusted option of donating to the UK's largest provider of foodbanks, certainly whilst we continue to have a Conservative government! Who said we were sickos, eh? Congratulations drol - now let's allow this thread to sink into oblivion 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,197 Posted June 10 Turns out my pick actually died on May 31st but his death wasn't reported until June 4th, well after the cut-off point for a challenge to drol. So can I at least claim the silver medal here? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, DNS due to death means we need a sub - did you have anyone in mind? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
