msc 18,439 Posted November 4, 2017 School comes first, we'll still be here when you have the time. Unless the Reaper gets us first! Secondly, oooh still ahead, but not by much. I expect drol to take the lead in the second half of the competition, he has a fine team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grim Up North 3,725 Posted December 7, 2017 I see he also missed out on Susan Cameron-Blackie so that must help the chasers. 240 off the max of 3995 and with the Master List looking redder than Culloden the final winning score might not be far from the max.

msc 18,439 Posted December 7, 2017 Pretty sure Gilbert, Rae and Francis will live into the 2018-19 Windy City Deadpool contention too. I ain't winning this. I think Drol will be top 2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grim Up North 3,725 Posted December 7, 2017 Actually The Dead Cow and Drol both have those three too but in higher scoring positions overall. Most of the rest of us have Catherine Nevin so you'll still be pretty close. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was one where only getting local QOs surprised me. One would've thought the death of a young advocate for the biggest political issue in the UK at the moment would get more coverage?
