Less than a minute later Mrs Mathematics lists off five folk she is sure will die this year. You should play the celebrity death game with her. Whenever one of you learns first about a celebrity death, your partner has to guess who it is by asking questions… Is it a man? Are they British? Were they a sportsperson? Etc. Mrs Poz read about Vivienne Westwood first… took me a feckin’ age…. Was she an actress? No. Was she a singer? No. Was she a musician? A politician? A newsreader?… Hours of fun for all the family. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That does sound like fun but would then ruin the family group chat game of posting the name of the dead celebrity before anyone else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted December 31, 2022 Author Share Posted December 31, 2022 I'm up to date. 88 entries in so far. I'm going to go and play Gran Turismo for about 5 hours so if you send something in that time, I won't reply right away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duszek Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Was furious with myself for forgetting to include Pope Benedict in my 2023 squad, but just see he’s died. RIP, etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP, etc. I'm still swithering over my squad, got a couple of young pretenders who will be worth more points but do I drop some of the low hanging fruit.... It was all done and dusted until Pele and The artist formerly known as the pope threw a curve ball into the mix. Goddammit ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoonsYouthTeam Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Team in. 4 hits this year which I believe is my best effort. Dropping my Captain for having the gall to improve health wise, dropping another due to obituary worries. 3 members of my squad now approaching their testimonials. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 3 or 4 years ago, I ditched my team of perennial survivors to go with a theme squad. 6 of the original lot karked it that year. Had I not forgotten to submit my 2022 team, I would've had 3 hits - a personal best. My 2023 squad ran onto the pitch yesterday and that's one of them gone already. I'm not very good at this game. Nevertheless, we go again. Sub forwarded to Señor Sanchez. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone who picked Pele has replaced him. I brought Paul Lambert off the bench to pack the midfield. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParsJake Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Team submitted, the same useless mob who have got me out for a duck this year in my first ever go at it. The definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over again and expect different results, apparently. Not sure about insanity but it is definitely the definition of stupidity... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've gone with 10 popular picks and 5 creatives. The two very popular picks I've left out are Dick van Dyke and Alex Ferguson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
