Last year, Pele died on the 29th of December, bumping JustOneCornetto and Indale Winton ahead of Bishop Briggs with 2 days to spare. Pele didn't even get the last gasp bonus that year, either, so there's room for even more brinksmanship. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxRover Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 3 rich b*****ds, a well known Frenchman and a business owner…obits coming in soon…imagine the haul for anyone that named the lot of them… Actually, let’s see… Hamish Harding was 58…that’s 67 points, plus a 50 point accident bonus, add a solo shot and he’d could be worth 167 by himself. Shahzada Dawood was 48…that’s 77 + 50 + 50, could be 177. Sukeman Dawood…but might well not qualify as famous enough…was 19…that’s 106+50+50, could be 206. Paul-Henri Nargeolet was 77…that’s 48+50+50, could be 148. Stockton Rush was 61…that’s 64+50+50, could be 164. So, with “good luck”, someone could have rung up as much as 862 points in one go… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
