Banana 859 Posted May 4, 2021 Thanks everyone! It was certainly a stressful week for this pool. I should get the 5 categories done this week. I got a few in mind already. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Banana 859 Posted May 4, 2021 I have some categories I'm mulling over but if anyone has any interesting categories that they'd like to suggest DM me. I already have an "actors in x" category so please don't send me any of those. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

An Fear Beag 1,535 Posted May 5, 2021 Congratulations Banana on a great win. I can't believe that of the five categories, I fell short in the Eurovision one. I actually felt at the start that my best chance of winning was all 5 hits in that category! Mind you, I also felt that the game would go on for 2-3 years, but the James Bond curse seems to have caught us all by surprise. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

An Fear Beag 1,535 Posted May 18, 2021 My Eurovision unique Franco Battiato will sing no more Italian music legend Franco Battiato dies aged 76 (timesofmalta.com) So, in a pool that should last about 2-3 years, I managed to tick all the boxes in 8 1/2 months, and still only managed to finish second, by about 5 weeks. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
