Late November and still nil point. I'm the kiss of life to my selections. Good on em. Ditto, Chuffed. I am the Angel of Eternal Life.
[My 2019 choices:
Henry Kissinger Stirling Moss Harry Belafonte Little Richard Me **
Ok, not me, Murray Walker]
Although after 8 hours in A&E yesterday, I could be imminently shuffling off this mortal coil. Not from my own condition (kidney stone) but because I was stuck for 3 hours directly outside a room where they had a patient in isolation with an infectious disease. No great harm in that, other than the staff left the room door open for a at least an hour whilst the patient was in there & were constantly in & out themselves. They were in protective gear, masks etc. The patient wasn't & neither was I.
There is one possible consolation though - Mrs Q was sat next to me.

If I'd put myself on the list Q I'd have scored one point at least, albeit temporarily. Would have broken my duck. Won't be tempting fate in 2020,there's got to be some corkers out there somewhere. 🤔

Going ITK to give you this tip.
Saw Joan Collins On TMZ coming out of a restaurant. Looks nailed on for 2020.

Wow, two hits with Stirling moss & Little Richard. OK, a year too late, but that's a couple of decades better than I usualy manage.

I bet Henry Kissinger, Harry Belafonte and Murray Walker will be steering well clear of armament stores and farriers for a while though.

Just need Patricia Routledge for a full house 🙃 I just checked to see if Patricia Routledge is still alive (I had a sneaky feeling that she'd already died - however she's 91 and doing well apparently ! I also noted an interesting fact that her long term partner is ex House of Commons Speaker Betty Boothroyd. Out of interest did we do a dead pool for this year ? If not, why not ?

Yes, definitely alive and kicking, Dee, and, so I’ve heard, still sharing a bed with Betty...😄 As far as I know, a dead pool wasn’t set up for 2020. Hopefully it will reconvene for next year?

Drawing up a shortlist for 2021 which if nothing else will give my selections a free passage to 2022.
