Zsa Zsa's leg 884 Posted April 25, 2018 Is 29th place good for a first year team at this point? I was spendidly excited after checking my placement considering there are 300+ teams. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was spendidly excited after checking my placement considering there are 300+ teams. That’s definitely good. Looking at your team, I’d say there’s a good 7 or 8 more hits at least on your squad. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,070 Posted April 26, 2018 **nieces and nephews all crowded together, some sitting Indian style, others arm in arm, all listening intently** [Leans forward to have his feeble voice better heard...] “Has Uncle Creep told you about the time he was in 3rd place in the DDP in mid-March?” (together, exasperated) “Yes, Uncle Creep.” “Good.

Dr_T 254 Posted April 27, 2018 Would a letter to the Editor of the Guardian bemoaning the tragic (yet timely) death of Filipino screen legend, Spanky Manikan count as QO if it got published? I could be a $3 postage stamp from first. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,226 Posted April 27, 2018 I don’t see why it shouldn’t count, but imo, you would really need some good luck with him in order to have one published for him. I’d love to see an obituary from a major news site to a highly acclaimed actor in the Philippines, but he hasn’t crossed over into the UK during his lifetime, so unlikely to happen (though he’s quite the fascinating individual, I must admit). If there’s one person that I had to choose to send a letter to the Guardian to write an obit for though, its Cynthia Heimel. Another fascinating character but got mentioned multiple times in the Guardian in the past, yet, apart from the now dropped Independent, received no UK coverage. Disappointing really...

Spade_Cooley 9,525 Posted May 1, 2018 Hypothetically.... if I got the site redesigned top-to-tail, made it database-run and with a CMS-based front-end (I think those are the right words), how many people hereabouts would be interested in throwing a tenner into the pot so some guy hired off Updesk from Pakistan or the Ukraine could get the job done? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
