Also a DDP pick.

 

You ever get one of these picks you are 100% convinced you picked in something, then can't find them? This.

Also, Denis Norden means my hit dry spell for Hare’s has ended. Now is the time they should be going...

About 20 minutes to go, I think it's only fair I reveal my team which was posted at the outset and copied to Bibliogryphon. No need for anyone else to post their teams as the Masterlist will be up shortly.

 

As you will see, I've gone with a theme team of people associated with The Beatles. Guess I won't be needing those subs mind...

Awful news. Too soon. The Beatles Curse strikes again!

 

Was hoping my first hit was October at the very least. Ah well, chalk me up some points Deathers!

[Deathray 2,942]

Fucking hell. There's a lot of you buggers this year! Good to see, but doesn't make these any easier to put together. Also interesting to see many of the same perennial picks that haunted these entries when I last held the reigns are still alive and kicking. As well as the participants ability to drag up "who the fuck are theys?" left right and centre. Congrats to YW for finally ending his mammoth drought and keeping the benchmark reasonably obtainable for next years no hits harry (the technical term). Slightly rejigged the leaderboard to give more detail (this is obviously the reason, not the fact I can just copy my notes list across. :p)

Added. Also means you leap-frog 5 players up the leader board. Apologies for missing it out first time round.

This competition is a pile of shit.

Nikolai Karachentsov is a hit for me here:

Just noticed Mary Midgley died some weeks back, which I'm sad about, but the consolation is that she may have just handed me the lead here.

Couple of major items of business to get through to day folks.

 

Firstly, we are now officially open for entries for the 2019 game (and have been since 00:01 this morning), you have until the 31st December at 23:59 to enter. Whilst my team is late going by the letter of the rules, as no-one else has submitted a team at the time of posting this my team can be found below to comply with the no influence by other entries proviso. I hope this will be satisfactory to other players. Entries may be made in this thread or via PM to myself. Please do not bother YoungWillz with this stuff, he's rather happily enjoying his retirement and has every right to tell you to fuck off.

Sorry I was a bit busy trying to work to do mental arithmetic badly when that was posted. 

 

Masterlists have always been and will always be linked in post 1. No need to scroll.

Left for dead in mid Nov in the middle of the pack, suddenly a hit for Lima AND a JOKER/WILDCARD hit for Pres Bush, a good 10 days for SirC.  Looking forward to when the dust settles on this tandem.  Gotta be damn near double the 935 points I had before the onslaught.
