Grim Up North 3,725 Posted December 31, 2018 GUN Fishing and GUN Away both now in. Everyone will be pleased to learn no common team members - GUN Away is very much the cast offs that didn't make it into the Fishing pond with a joker who probably won't get a QO.

Deathray 2,940 Posted December 31, 2018 39 arrested for attempted murder + the victim of the attempted murder = 2 DDP teams if we assume these are fragile beings over the age of 18 who might not do too well when holed up under archaic joint enterprise bollocks. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-46719897 @Spade_Cooley probably not the time for theoretical questions, but we're a team to be submitted as Arrestee No 1, Aresstee No 2, Arrestee No 3 etc would it be accepted?

RadGuy 1,614 Posted December 31, 2018 To Kill A Gabor Sister 2019 is in. Hoping this is the year I finally crack the top 10, but I doubt it.
