Miguel Sanchez Posted January 20, 2019 Author Share Posted January 20, 2019 WEEK 3 UPDATE Another week, another death and a sad moment as a P&B favourite is gone from the world. You've all seen this man, you've all seen this picture, you've all heard that quote. You, like me, may have never seen It Ain't Half Hot Mum but Windsor Davies has left his mark on P&B in our collective schadenfreude towards a team or person suffering misfortune. Often Rangers. Obituary: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-38497286 Quote In 1973, they were cast together in It Ain't Half Hot Mum, the follow-up comedy for Dad's Army creators Perry and Croft. It was set in a Royal Artillery concert party in the last few months of World War Two in India - although the series ran for eight years. Davies played Battery Sergeant Major Williams - nicknamed Sgt Major "Shut Up!" - a no-nonsense, bellowing platoon leader with a love-hate relationship with the theatrical troupe. Frustrated in his endeavours to drill them as a fighting unit, he had little time for the artistic pursuits of his charges - always happier in costume than Army uniform - or the upper class twits who were his commanding officers. His authority was further subtly undermined by the camp's Indian servants. The big man sees points for @Musketeer Gripweed and @Sweaty Morph. He was 88, so has a base score of 37. Add to this the Deadly Duo bonus, and he's worth 62 points. The leaderboard now looks like this: 1. Bishop Briggs, Oooooft 207 2. sparky88 162 3. chomp my root 116 4. Musketeer Gripweed, Sweaty Morph 625.

Miguel Sanchez Posted January 20, 2019 Author Share Posted January 20, 2019 Two weeks, two updates, two f**k-ups. A strange looking woman who was in some musicals is also dead: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-46878018 Carol Channing was 97, giving her a base score of 28. @LoonsYouthTeam is the only person to pick her though, and her Solo Shot bonus takes her up to 78 points. Which gives me hope for my team of 80-something writers. 1. Bishop Briggs, Oooooft 2072. sparky88 1623. chomp my root 116 4. LoonsYouthTeam 78 5. Musketeer Gripweed, Sweaty Morph 626.

Everyone else 0 Is that why you raised the solo shot bonus from 30 to 50 points this year? That rule change seems to have slipped through unnoticed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted January 20, 2019 Author Share Posted January 20, 2019 I wanted to incentivise variety in the picks. I think I also thought the SS/DD points were a bit low. Also if I wanted to cheat I would have copied everyone else's best picks instead of entering the same team I've had the past three years running 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't even considered the possibility that anyone would cheat so why bring it up? I'm genuinely puzzled. You should have highlighted the change when it was made. It could have impacted on the choices that others made. I'm probably not the only one who had assumed, wrongly, that the rules were the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oooooft Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 (edited) Tbf the rules were posted BB, and I like you never twigged. Our onus on reading one post, so no complaints. My team would've had 5/6 changes if I had. Eta**** Worlds oldest man deid, at 113. Normally 12 points so not on my radar but if solo that's 62????? Next year will be a load of old cuntos, which will be a waste of picks imo as they won't be solos as folk will chase them thinking they are. Still kicking myself over Fatima Ali/Genesis Porridge and the Aussie author, bad decisions by myself, whereas David Hagen maybe a v poor punt. That's without the rule change. Fair play to San Mig if he keeps up the weekly scoreboard, nice innovation. Edited January 20, 2019 by Oooooft 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dead pool came within a bawhair of not running this year until Miguel's accepting the baton. That entitles him to some adjustments to the rules, imo. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How I see it too, I'm not exactly BFF's with Miguel but fair play to him for stepping up and running it. If he wants to tweak things then fair enough. If its all laid out in the rules then its up to us chimps to be up to speed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I cheat at monopoly, of course... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
