I was mostly concerned about the whole PM thing. Now that’s sorted, I think I got this now. But I’ll defo call on your experience if I think I need to. Thanks. :smiley:

I regret I have only one list to play: I had great plans for “Comedians in Cars getting Coffins” theme list.

I got that feeling like when you’re down the pub playing some pool with your mates and having a laugh and a few beers and generally stuffing about.

Then some bloke sticks his 50p* on the table and you look up to see him open a case with his own stick in it.

*Yes, It’s been that long.

Does that count, or do I need to find a replacement for George Michael?

Yep. It’s not started yet, so you’ll need to pick a replacement.

I tried to make one like that, but it crossed the “too morbid” line for me.

I was only going to do one or two entries since it seemed no one else was. So I crossed the line. I looked back and said…should I have done that? Pondered it a bit more and doubled down.

May I end the year with zero points.

May we all.

I’m okay with @M_M getting lots, actually.

I wouldn’t be disappointed with a full house. Not that there’s joy in any death, but mine have just been hanging around too long with too much harm done.

Clarence Darrow (not Mark Twain!):

All men have an emotion to kill; when they strongly dislike some one they involuntarily wish he was dead. I have never killed any one, but I have read some obituary notices with great satisfaction.
