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.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      By vladi · Posted

      Agreed, he should not be held accountable over the mess up over release of prisoners. On the other hand he did himself no favours with his gaffes on the BBC Master Mind programme where he passed on five questions. Where he did answer, here are some of his responses.... When asked who succeeded Henry VIII, Lammy incorrectly answered “Henry VII,” When asked which French scientist won Nobel prizes for both physics and chemistry?” Lammy responded with “Antoinette” When asked which fortress was built to defend Paris and later used as a prison, he answered “Versailles". When asked which variety of blue English cheese is often taken with port, he answered "Leicester" If nothing else he was entertaining.

      Why do you think he should be toast? All these problems with the prison service apparently go way back, long before Labour took over.

      Probably by working as a banker for a decade before being an MP, being married to another high earner, and using some of the accommodation allowance that all out-of-town MPs receive. https://www.theipsa.org.uk/news/why-do-mps-need-an-accommodation-budget Tbh mate if someone in her position couldn't work out a mortgage to buy a house in suburban London, they probably shouldn't be Chancellor in the first place...

      Just this, really.  I'll say one thing, it's never boring with Labour
