Wormfarmer 427 Posted May 23, 2020 On 20/05/2020 at 05:29, msc said: Nice gamble success for the Wormfarmer. Thank you. Thank you. Last year John Starling failed to obit and left me 300 in the lurch. I was trying to go more safely this year so losing my top name would have been a critical blow. I had found the obit for Willie K in Billboard, but I was afraid it was going to stop there. I appreciate how good you guys are at finding obits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Torva Messor 278 Posted August 22, 2020 @CaptainChorizo In your next update, if no post-Banali scores occur for me, would you kindly update my total points to 1350? I updated my own list with points for John Lewis and Frankie Banali and a lowly 140-pointer, probably Dame Olivia. Thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
