When drawing up this year's team, I did toy with going with a theme team very like yours, including some of the same picks, but was thinking of padding it with people whose names matched dead famous people (Anne Hathaway, Steve McQueen, Jane Seymour, etc). Yours is more consistent, though. Edited January 2, 2023 by Aim Here 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had half a notion to put in a WW2 list. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umm, our glorious leader and benefactor, Miguel, famously topped his last gasp hit of 2019 by striking out for the next two consecutive years with his theme team of immortal writers. He managed to toss in a non-writer in 2022 who took him off the bottom last year. wellinwigan and Raven both scored *nil points* in both 2021 and 2022.

Priti priti priti Patel Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Considered going with UK drill artists but there's just too many to predict who will get capped (did I use that right?). I follow the Isle of Man TT each year and that's also a dead cert to produce some death certs, but again impossible to know who. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
