Here.

I can guess he would give me 13 points in this case, assuming he was born in 1913.

My team has been posted. Have a feeling the year went by too fast, and I'd need another week or two - but... it's time.

I included a description in 2 of my picks, in the case of Fauja Singh I don't know if it would count as 11 points or 28 points in the event that he enters and dies, because there are doubts about his age, he was not born in 1911 like him says, but it seems that there is evidence that he was born in 1928.

You can still pick a joker for twice the points.

 

@arghton you, too.

 

Everybody please pick a joker - if I don't hear from you, it will be the first name on the list.

I'm really glad I've spotted this as a name I had penciled in as a definite pick on the DDP  and that I felt sure would be a unique pick  is on your team here! It gives me the chance to swop it out for something else that could be a safer  pick to be unique.  It may be a name you intend to use in the DDP or just be a name other people may now put in their DDP  now they have seen it here.
