Bibliogryphon 9,592 Posted July 8, 2016 It is quite interesting that once you get to 1926 it does become easier. Those early years are challenging. Still got 8 picks for each though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,071 Posted July 8, 2016 Nobody picked Edhi for this round, despite his BBC obit: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-36752208 JK must be on his holidays... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bibliogryphon 9,592 Posted July 10, 2016 I think I should have a go but my team will be very hamstrung by not being prompt. Hopefully there will be a new round in a day or two and you can swoop in with the best picks. Hopefully not mine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Book 3,561 Posted August 2, 2016 Queen Anne of Romania: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/2016/08/01/queen-anne-of-romania--obituary/ I too have been most confused for much of the day, and think YoungWillz has clearly been wronged, as Shaun himself has since noted. With this in mind, I submit my entry below without touching any of Willz original picks: 1920: John Paul Stevens, Lassie Lou Ahern 1921: King Michael of Romania, Liz Smith 1922: Milos Jakes, Lilianne Bettencourt 1923: Chuck Yeager, Queen Anne of Romania 1924: George HW Bush, Lys Assia 1925: Hal Holbrook, Margaret Rhodes 1926: Jerry Lewis, Jean Alexander 1927: Bhumibol Adulyadej, Gina Lollobrigida 1928: Bruce Forsyth, Jean Kennedy Smith 1929: Roger Bannister, Joan Plowright In the event that Willz decides not to re-enter (I am giving him the opportunity to do so, since he technically already has once this round) then I have PM'd Shaun with a couple of (2) alterations I would like making to my team if Willz's picks are available. If anyone disputes this, that's fine. Hope Willz enters, if not, I'm stealing his old folk. RoverAndOut has her - but is he in? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
