That 40pt penalty is looking rather arbitary and harsh.

Inspite of that, imagine how embarrasing it would be to then get beaten by a notreallythatinterestedinrugby Englishman... ;-)

It was based on maxxi entering round 1 and scoring -37. Wouldn't be fair for late starters to begin with a better score than he.

It would've been fairer to have worked around the average score not the lowest...

Not to maxxi. Besides there are only 5 rounds and one of the rules was you must enter all 5. Given the additional entries I asked for comments as to what amendment to the rules might be suitable, and none was forthcoming.


Besides there are so many potential points to be won/lost, -40 isn't huge. Also it continues to apply for other non entries.

To be fair RD, your opening round score of -27 was the week's best score by 15 points with the worst being -90 so I think the Unionmaxxi (as oppposed to the Assocmaxxi) of -40 is probably about right.


I'm also presuming it's 40 points per round missed so you wouldn't go top - but two more rounds continuing with your current success rate and you will end up on top. :)


Now, how many points for a basket outside the 'D'?


Italy 22 - 16 Wales

England 38 - 20 France

Scotland 34 - 17 Ireland

Damn you pesky maxxi, that'll be his Get Out of Jail card...it's not like I make up the rules as I go along in the Footy predictor game.

True but you haven't invented some tortuous Duckworth-lewis system for points either RD - just imagine the cursing and screaming coming from AM's house as he sweats over another Excel sheet.... "Right, well you got the result right but estimated too many points for A and not enough for B and there's no draw bonus and your name begins with an R and it's after 3 o'clock..."

I can't put England down for a win - I just cant type the right keys on the keyboard.

I have the same problem with Miwwaw in the FA Cup Mick, it's a bruiser when it comes to points but at least one feels unsullied.

    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
