Think I had her in the Poker Tourney...alas, my picks tend to outlive pools by just enough to annoy me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Death Impends 7,986 Posted February 19, 2019 Top UK headteacher and aide to Prince Charles, Bernice McCabe, has died aged 66. Picked by two teams in the DDP, assuming she obits quickly, I think that's the first time Living End has topped the scoreboard since 2016? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,979 Posted February 20, 2019 I'd be optimistic. Can't deny I'm jealous, because she was the "pick I fell in love with" and rejected because of the fear of seeing more than there is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
