Thanks for joining this little fun!

[YoungWillz 21,031]

Well played Tom Tom!

 

I ended up with a positive? I'll take it!

[gcreptile 10,964]

Yes, congratulations TomTom!

Pleased with my performance, I mean I got a couple ones right, including new names. I thought it might be close to victory, but oh well, quite the gap indeed!

[Joey Russ 7,220]

Wow, I got a positive score for once. :O 

Congrats TomTom. Well predicted list indeed

[TomTomTelekom 3,727]

Thanks to all of you and especially to you Book organizing and running this game

[BuffaloPhil 926]

Well done TomTom, that's impressive. 

 

I won the unofficial, unannounced and irrelevant "predict the top 3" game, but it all went a bit pear-shaped after that 

[Deathray 2,940]

Just a quote from my PM to Book confirming the submission, for no particular reason at all ....

 

Quote

As this was taken by scanning through the ideas and possibilities thread which we all know the compilers are unaware exists it's a solid last place effort. 

 

[Book 3,552]

I think we do have our first 2 hits here:

 

Qaboos bin Said al Said and Samantha Last for nantonian2013/Vaagheid and theoldlady respectively, DL: 0

There is an obituary for Samantha Last (Jaelle) on NewsWeek’s website. Also on the BBC website.

 

And Qaboos is everywhere. RIP

[Book 3,552]

Roger Scruton

A hit for Book, Cant Wait, CaptainChorizo, Deathray, nantonian2013, Prophet, RadGuy, Sean, The Old Crem, ThereWillBeDeaths7 and Vaagheid.

So nantonian2013 and Vaagheid are in the lead with 2 hits each, DL still 0.

Come on, it's a unique hit for theoldlady

[YoungWillz 21,031]

And with Terry Jones we are off:

 

YW - 1; DL - 1.

[Book 3,552]

Terry Jones is a big hit for the DL and for Book, CaptainChorizo, Etushispushingupdaisies, Deathray, gcreptile, Great Uncle Bulgaria, Joey Russ, msc, Prophet, RadGuy, The Mad Hatter, The Old Crem, theoldlady, ThereWillBeDeaths7, TomTomTelekom, Vaagheid and YoungWillz.

So Vaagheid in the lead with 3 hits!

[YoungWillz 21,031]

Nicholas Parsons allows me to take a lead over the Committee:

 

YW - 2; DL - 1

[Book 3,552]

Nicholas Parsons is a hit for Book, BuffaloPhil, Clorox Bleachman, Joey Russ, msc, Sean, The Old Crem, TomTomTelekom, Vaagheid and YoungWillz - but again not for the DL.

Still in the lead: Good old Vaagheid

[Book 3,552]

Nobody expected the Committee to take Chris Doleman but The Mad Hatter. Point

[Book 3,552]

Prophet and The Mad Hatter now at 3 hits each thanks to John Andretti, Vaagy still in the lead with 4, DL at 1.

[Book 3,552]

Daniel arap Moi is a second hit for the DL-Committee and a hit for several others: Deathray, Great Uncle Bulgaria, Joey Russ, nantonian2013, The Mad Hatter, theoldlady, ThereWillBeDeaths7 and TomTomTelekom.

The Mad Hatter now catches up with Vaagheid, both 4 hits.
