You might be a dead pooling legend DDP but you're likely cutting your own throat here re bonus panto/morris dancing and swimming pool deaths!

 

Sister Wendy is particularly missed there.

Does that mean I get a fraction of a consolation point and am therefore now leading the competition?  

 

A warm welcome back to Sister Helen Prejean to replace the departed Hindu holy chap.

If he QOs you will get 0.88 consolation points. No sign of that yet, but if Shivakumara got one then never say never...

 

Will Prejean occupy the Swami's vacancy, or a different spot on your list?

[gcreptile 10,979]

I sent my team.

 

Slightly ordinary (again), but the pile of things to do is just too big.

 

Good luck everyone!

Right gang, all my teams are in and so my self-imposed embargo on viewing PMs is lifted.

 

I plan to have all the teams and picks public over the course of tomorrow. I'll try to get started tonight.

 

Also, a little under an hour and 20 minutes to enter a full team of 10 picks and 2 subs! After that you can only have 9 picks on your main team.
