Hollywood hotties themed team helps but if I was really good at it, I’d have a much better hit rate.

Congrats to @Aim Here and well done again to @Miguel Sanchez for continuing on with one of the most enjoyable threads on P&B. I had 2 hits in 23 (Gina L & Raquel W). Giving me the highly sought after 70th position. A 100% improvement on my 22 performance (only Olivia NJ) Here’s hoping for another 100% improvement and a challenge to the top 50!!

Probably the latest I’ve held back my submission in the forlorn hope that another on my list will get me my first December bonus. it’s not happening though and if I leave it any later, I’m guaranteed to forget completely. Selections have been submitted.

Hollywood hotties DP21 - 0 hits DP22 - 1 hit DP23 - 2 hits so far… not me letting the side down!

Mrs Val Kilmer proved to be very hands on iirc. Stunning!

As a youngster, in the early 70s, my dad lifted me out of the terracing at Tannadice and onto the pitch to get some autographs. Managed to get Colin Stein and John Greig to sign the book. Greig dropped his raffle tickets when he went to sign my book, so, and much to the amusement of the travelling support, he had me chasing around the pitch to collect them as he signed. Attended an open football coaching session at Dawson Park, Dundee about the same time with Hamish MacAlpine and Gordon Wallace. With my family in the mid 70s crossing the street when we lived abroad and my mum spotted Robert Redford crossing towards us. She did that silent “that’s Robert Redford” and he nodded and smiled as he went on his way. In the early/mid 80s, working at a hotel in Broughty Ferry, I once accidentally dropped some roast potatoes on Richard Gough’s lap when he was a wedding guest there. (In his United days). He didn’t see the funny side. Sitting in one of the Scottish Airports, my wife spotted Billy Connolly sitting quietly undisturbed - it was the first time he’d been seen in public after shaving the trademark beard off - no one recognised him and I was too starstruck to approach him. Was almost run off the road by the Queen in her Range Rover on the back roads around Ballater. Had a brief conversation in broken Spanish with Claudio Caniggia and some of the other DFC Argentinians in the Casino in Dundee. (For clarity, my Spanish was broken, not his) When going through my coaching badges, one of the sessions was led by Jimmy Bone (hilarious). Finally, most recently of all, I’ve had my photo taken with Olly Murrs when he was at the Slessor Gardens and chatted to the 1 Direction boys in London. Disappointingly, they were all very nice. (James Cordon was an arse though)

Thoughts and prayers with Miss Diane at this sad time.

A second hit this year for the Hollywood hotties. Disappointed to lose one of the most beautiful women of the last century but all’s fair in love and DP. Points please.

Watched Ice Cold again just after New Year. Beautiful actress who just missed out on my Hollywood Hotties list. Useless bint.

Woo hoo 1st of my Hollywood hotties this year! Vice captain points please. Gina Lollobrigida: Italian screen star dies at 95 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-64292026 condolences etc.

Horrible, but would the youth of today know why someone would be called a “Joey” as an insult?

One to watch out for in 2024. Whoever she starts dating next… https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11591891/Fresh-trauma-Gary-Speeds-widow-Louise-new-husband-loses-fight-against-brain-cancer.html

Well done to the winners. Nicely run again @Miguel Sanchez Thanks for getting me on the scoreboard Olivia NJ. see you all in the 23 thread.

Replace Pele? That’ll be a hard act to follow.

Can we please lay off the bird puns. This is not the time for cheep laughs.

Team is in. Hoping to improve on just Olivia N-J this year.
