msc 17,707 Posted January 19, 2018 Chorizo has 17 picks I am 90% sure will be around in 2019, so he could well run out of hits while DDT's buckets of blood reap rewards in summer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just making sure I have a UK reuters article for this as per competition rules. https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-people-turner/ex-cia-director-stansfield-turner-dead-at-94-served-under-carter-idUKKBN1F807B I'm sure this is not really necessary now as I have been allocated the points but just a link of a mention of Stansfield Turners death in Reuters UK thus confirming there is a qualifying obituary for this pick.

msc 17,707 Posted January 22, 2018 Right, so I had Cryne (as had many others) and looking for obits for Toothill and Carr. The latter being somewhat unlikely, I forgot the QO rules had been tightened up when I sent in my team! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
