Fixed. All good they're correct in the masterlist sheet anyway....

 

Peter Beck is a commercial space engineer so might have been a better pick than your geriatric actor ;)

 

On Barbara Wetting? Fuck knows.....

Sad story, she resigned just over a month ago to spend more time with her family. But, as the Stage obit tells, her health declined much faster than expected. So it wasn't much time in the end.

Not that I'm slow on the uptake, but earlier when I saw this I thought: "Some newbie updating Deathray's pool, he's going to be pissed when he gets back..."

Errr.... obit for Tony Pena names him as 17-year old Tony Pena high school footballer .........

 

My masterlist has him as a 62 year old dominican baseball player. 

 

Obviously a discrepency...

 

Either way.....

 

1) 2)All picks must be human beings aged over 18 on January 1st of the game year..

That’s the second year my wildcard went in January. Darn. ;) 

I did have Roger Scruton on my team, so I think I should also have points for him?
