The Woolster

FFS, been out all day, didn't get to replace on tine...

Saw on Sunday that when the episode finishes, they are showing rerun of Between the Lines over on BBC4. 

I was a young teen when it was first shown,  but remember it bring really good.

@Woolster can't you post everyones list on the first post of the thread - I'm sure you've done that in previous years.

Don't think it was me. Don't think i can edit the first post, can I?

Ha!

Double post

What is it about dead pool threads and the people who start them dropping off the face of the earth?

 

I can't wait any longer for Woolster to confirm my Rush Limbaugh score, so I'm just going to go ahead and replace him without permission.

 

Bob Dole, please.

 Just say "I had xxx, will replace with yyy"

Last year i just had too much going on, but the plan us to intermittently update the scores, and I will remind anyone who hasn't replaced a pick when i do.

But I also had Rush Limbaugh, and announced his replacement, so...

Jeez, 5 time in a row champion, and yet my status as the forum grim reaper is gone in a month! 

Should probably get a replacement in for Rush Limbaugh... will go with Prince Philip

Is is bad I thought of this thread when I heard the Duke was in hospital?!

Not really, but it would be less bad if you enter a team, because you would at least have some skin in the game...

No pal, seen her cancer had metastasised  to her liver the other day 

Just kidding, I'm having to chase someone down in this comp for the first time, so I noticed its the 3rd one you brought in that I already had, but they are all picks that have been in the news

Hahaha, funny you should say that, was just gonna post a shout to the Colonel, as he originally picked Christopher Lee, who died 5 years ago! I at least spotted that one, forgot George Snr had already died 

Hey, @Colonel Kurtz, you need to replace Bush!

I had Rush, but don't worry, I won't replace him with Aldridge...

Yes, but I was too lazy to re type it when your inbox rejected it, such is life.

 

Captain Tom was number one though.

You're in, and have 10 points on the board. You need to replace Captain Tom

You may notice in the table I have a question mark for Vlad.

I had Cloris Leachmann last week. I better get my points or I'll curse you with the plague of a million locusts.

He did indeed have Cloris Leachmann. I know that the comp hadn't officially started, but I am minded to give the points, he sent it in 3 days before she passed, and she died of natural causes at home, so it wasn't like a pick where someone has just gone into hospital and was all over the news and a reaction to that.

But, you know, it was before the start date, so thought I would check that you guys are ok with that?

You shouldn't,I didn't get any when Jimmy Snuka carked it hours before the game started a few years back!

 

Mind you,one of my picks this year almost didn't make it to the 1st of Feb.

And I see you didn't get some points in a similar situation, but I was not the one running it then. I'd have argued to give you the points too!

That's a bit small, innit

Scores on the doors

Double check your teams to make sure I didn't make a mistake

By 2023 Captain Tom products will comprise 2% of Britain's GDP 

 

You've posted a lot about him dying, but I don't think you've actually replaced him...?!

We are not supposed to reveal our list publicly. According to my conversations in my inbox,The Woolster hadn't even read my list. I think he might have his hands tied at the moment and Mrs Woolster is playing dominatrix.

Ha, missed this. Not far wrong, metaphorically speaking!
