I did a quick google of Isabel Veloso.

 

Blah blah blah INFLUENCER, blah blah blah CANCER. 

 

She is out. I am not having someone whose claim to fame is that they take part in something completely fake, designed to con gullible people out of their cash. Wrestler Steve McMichael takes her place.

Thanks for the entry and welcome to the pool. Perfect formatting and some really interesting names. I'd never heard of Barbara Buttrick before - interesting lady.

 

Only issue is that you cannot count - you have 26 names on your team. Wole Soyinka drops out and becomes your first sub, unless you would like to select someone else.

Whoops, sorry about that! I was rather busy lately, so I can see how I managed to screw that one up.:D

 

If possible, I'd rather drop Garrett Morris and make him the first sub, thus removing Bruce Morrow from the substitute list. May I edit him out of my post?

No need to edit at all. I'll do it on the masterlist. As requested, Garrett Morris becomes first sub, and because I am in such festive spirits, you can keep Morrow as a 6th sub. If you manage to lose 5 picks in the next 6 days, you deserve some extra help!

Same drill as always. Survivors stay till they drop. Dead replaced by oldest bigger names on my longlist. We've made it into 1928 now, because I had to replace 11 people. Bit unusual for this team!

 

 

That is an interesting way to go about a team for a pool.  You have your picks and they stay on your team till they die. I like it nice touch msc

Thanks. Started doing it in 2020 when I was on the DDP Cmme and it just became my thing. Jimmy Carter and Donald Pelmear (a TV actor who had a funny guest role in 70s Dr Who) are the longest survivors on the list now after the death of Arnold Yarrow.

Oh my! - that is quite the faux pas. I am actually embarrassed for you.

 

And then to make matters worse, later in the list you managed to spell "Syd" wrong :o

 

You are having quite the 'mare, mate. I will be surprised if you are able to show your face around here for some time. But don't worry, people will forget eventually. Sure, you might occasionally hear people stifling laughter and muttering "composer" as you pass by, but pay no heed to them. You are better than all of them put together!

 

Anyhow, all good with the team, and Alan Bergman (Lyricist) takes his place on it.

Thanks for the entry Gooseberry. Some original and interesting names, as always. 

 

I don't see a Joker anywhere, so Alan Osmond is your default Joker unless I hear otherwise.

 

Best of luck
