[TQR 14,414]

Surprised (in all but one case) that RATM are getting a battering, what with that song being the one to piss off Simon Cowell.

 

Maybe it needs a cosier feel to do well in a Christmas game.

 

 

[Toast 16,170]

We all bought it to spite Simon Cowell, not because we liked it.

@time & @Dead Wait, @TQR gave us all extra points to use for today & tomorrow. We have +6 & -9 points to use. Would you like to come back and use your extra +2 & -3 points?

 

It would probably be best to do an additional board rather than edit your original board, to keep things orderly.

Thanks for the heads up, I missed this but as I’m the most recent post anyway I’ve edited the original board…..

3 were dropped today. Another one falls to the quota. It'll be Danny as he was on a lower score before the scores that put him and Dave on an equal number.

 

It's still the weekend, so enjoy another day of +6/-9!
