msc 18,485 Posted March 21, 2019 Right, my Round 3 team is in with Cat, even though it wont be needed (so its basically a 2 min all names off the forum job). So, you can all send in teams for next round now. Reminder, send it as a NEW PM. I just deleted a bunch of PMs from Round 1 and 2 and after DrT-Gate you all know the score on those things. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grim Up North 3,727 Posted March 21, 2019 Tommy Donbavand isn’t going to die this month. So My Cup hopes probably rest with John Starling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,485 Posted March 21, 2019 Bishop Quinn has died. I dunno who is more fucked off - me for dropping him late, or Heef, because that gives John Key the shock lead with unique points. Round 2 1.

msc 18,485 Posted March 22, 2019 Frank Grande (sports historian) has died and got a fucking QO! Well, that's a stunner. Probably more of one for Sir Creep. Incidentally, Willz, any idea if Robert Reid (Thistle HOFer/historian) still lives? Fucking ancient last time I saw him at Firhill, which is going back a bit now.* *Self-edit - answered my own question, still alive last year but was in hospital for a hip op. Presumably late 80s now.

If you hadn't dropped him he'd only be worth 3 points and I'd still be ahead on age count back. Anyway, I never trusted my former PM. I suspect his security team wouldn't be beyond knocking a few people off. I mean, it's a reasonably short leap from tugging waitresses' pony tails to having people bumped off... isn't it? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, it's a reasonably short leap from tugging waitresses' post tails to having people bumped off... isn't it? I haven't minded any of our modern PM's that I've remembered in my lifetime. I feel like they all wanted the best for NZ and really did try, Helen Clark, John Key, Jacinda Ardern and even Bill English were all decent people. Jacinda feels special though, everything she does is an effortless political statement. I won't celebrate just yet, just before I thought I had no chance when it was 3-0!
