Ned Nederlander Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) I see Steffan Lewis has passed at a pitifully young age, I dropped him from last year as he appeared to be in good health. Bound to have been picked by some. RIP etc. Edited January 11, 2019 by Ned Nederlander 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 (edited) WEEK 2 UPDATE Hurray! An actual death! First of the year is Steffan Lewis, a politician who served in the Welsh Assembly since 2016: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steffan_Lewis Obituary: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-politics-42455956 Quote Mr Lewis spoke emotionally about his experience of living with stage-four bowel cancer in media interviews after his diagnosis. "I appreciate the fact there are 2,000-odd people in Wales with bowel cancer every year and about 5% of those are younger people, so numerically we are small," he said. "But still I think we need to talk about the emotional palette that we have when we are going through something as profound and as frightening as cancer. "It's almost like validating our own emotions and our own feelings - that it's okay to be a young man and to be scared and to allow yourself to explore that, to rationalise it and to talk about it openly." That link also claims he's a Celtic fan, but I don't think that will cloud anyone's judgement. This first and so far only hit of the year sees points for @Bishop Briggs (C, 207), @chomp my root (116), @Oooooft (C, 207) and @sparky88 (VC, 162). The First Blood Bonus adds an extra 25 points to his base score of 91. The scoring spreadsheet has been updated: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NlaNlT-7ZGlQGqszGFfBb49tVzFpWITUAR7BUjApJUc/edit?usp=sharing SCORES: 1. Bishop Briggs 207 2. Oooooft 207 3. sparky88 162 4. chomp my root 116 5. Everyone else 0 Sadly, even 114 is usually a good score by my standards so you'd better bank on being a late bloomer if you fancy cracking this top 4.

Steffan Lewis's base score is actually 91 (125-34). The scores should be - 1.= Myself and Oooooft 91 (base) +91 (Captain bonus)+25 (first blood bonus)= 207 3. sparky - 91 (base) +45.5 (Vice Captain bonus) +25 (first blood bonus) = 161.5 4. chomp my root - 91 (base) +25 (first blood bonus) = 116. ETA - I'm not sure how you got 169 for sparky. Have I missed an extra bonus? Edited January 13, 2019 by Bishop Briggs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Harper, James , Bracknell and especially Turnbull bad picks tho (will Cocks obit?)
