Mr. Tork . Then I saw his obit, now I'm a believer. Tork's death gives GUB a consolation score, but in an inverse sort of twist of fate for Wormfarmer, he's now losing with a week to go. The Old Lady takes the lead. 1. JoeMoneyPenny Vs. Pedro 3-3 2. Nantonian 2013 Vs. Maryportfuncity 0-3 3. Gooseberry Crumble Vs. John Key 0-3 4. Spade Cooley Vs. Squonk 16-0 5. Markb4 vs Dr T 0-6 6.

maryportfuncity 10,645 Posted February 22, 2019 For all the confident predictions (not from me, I hasten to add) that I'd massacre Nantonian it's squeaky bum time as the low scoring encounter rumbles on. Assuming we make it into round two a serious tactical re-think might be in order. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She is clearly a notable name in NZ historical and genealogical circles (which a Fnd a Graver would not be) and thus is more famous than that angler, the guy from Trinidad and Destinee McEwen*. Just. *Did she die? The British Casting champion, no idea who was from Trinidad, and a fraud (therefore but a fellow Detroiter). All frauds basically. At least the Kiwi had the gumption to die....albeit a day early. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He should have said the tractor pulling hall of famer (who was a great pick, but died a month after the Cup ended).

No chastising for drilling down to find a good name, merely defence of folks ability to do the same. Joey's African rapper was another good one off the radar of everyone else (died about 20 minutes into the month...). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,070 Posted February 27, 2019 The rapper was an awesome pick. I hope to duplicate it this month if this person can squeeze two more days of life out of their earthly soul. Funny, reading updates it’s like ‘should I even include this person are they sick enough’ to ‘shit they may die too soon!’ Ahhhh the wonderful world of DP celeb updates.
