Liza Minnelli
Barbara Walters
Bert Newton - 83 years = 27 points  Cry
Geoffrey Rush


I think this might be the first year I've actually succeeded in my list. I feel a bit guilty Confused

With 6 days to run I'm on 56 points.



Ok time to tally results and determine a winner. Please post your scores as VSP has done above with score for each selection who carked it and a total score at the end. So far the 56pts above is the leader. 

Will Give until 6 January for scores to be posted then I will declare the winner based on this.

1+1, around the 57 points? Either you do or you do not have 57 points, are you awaiting on some late departures ?

I had the dynamic duo of Bert and Phil so my 36 points falls short.

Well it seems no one has come forward with a higher score so VSP is declared the winner for 2021. Will shoot you a PM to discuss the $20 bonus bet and then advise here what the selection is. Bob - if you could get in touch with VSP also and then advise the forum what bottle/s of wine you have sent her.

Bob - VSP has send me a message suggesting you may in fact have a higher score. Can you please go back over your posts at the beginning of this thread and give us a total based on your final entry. You may have changed selections a few times so can you please quote the actual post. I’m travelling for the next couple of weeks so will finalise if I get the chance in a few days or when I get back.

No response from Bob so still calling VSP the winner. Will organise the $20 bonus bet via PM shortly. Bob - please organise the wine for VSP.

My wine was for the 2022 winner, not 2021. I made that offer late in 2021, not in January 2021

I stand corrected along the way in 2021 I said I would give a bottle of wine to the runner up. Did I finish second , if that is the case I will give it to who finished third.

Your Pierre Cardin tip had to be replaced, which you did with the following post:

Ian Meckiff

I got Pierre Cardin correct in my 2020 list, so I am replacing him with a relative youngster in Bill Lawry he is only 83 .Wink

 



Late Mail :
 
In view of the death rate of those 1966 English soccer players , I have changed my Bill Lawry selection to Ron Flowers. 

For crying out loud, could you make it any more complicated Confused

Just doing this would have been clearer:
Christopher Plummer
Sidney Poitier
Mel Brooks

Pierre Cardin
Ron Flowers
Ian Meckiff

 Yes. With Chris Plummer (19 points), Ron Flower (23 points) and Alan Davidson (18 points), Bob was the winner with 60 points.

 He just missed on Poitier, too, by six days.

So I believe, anyhow , in view of my prior comments do I get to keep my own wine or do I give it to someone else, and do I get the winner's voucher or should I just call it quits ?
