Feel free to chuck in 6 noms, OP (check the rules on the 1st page). Sure to bring howls from others but I'm looking after this thread this year, so go for your life. Cool

Interestingly, all three nominators who are off the mark are in the 2nd half of those who got their noms in i.e. they got in later than 50% of the rest.

yeah fair enough, rules is rules.

Dunno why ... I'm at a disadvantage in that I only have 9 months to play with.

by skully Thu 24 Mar 2011, 08:21

Hehehe, of course. Cool

OK, as a sweetener, this thread is open until the end of March to all comers who wish to make 6 noms, OR to any existing nommers who want to change ONE nomination. Same rules apply - you can't pick someone from your list from last year, or nom anyone already picked, and you need to cover the mandatory categories.

I might to the same thing in June, i.e. allow one change. wave

I dares ya to make a change, JGK. Of course, the one you drop will kark it the next day. Twisted Evil

BTW ... ZP is under 30 now, she'll turn 30 in May ... if she dies after that do I still get paid?

Whilst I think a trade period is a great idea and have no objection to OP's late entry. I think including someone on his list who in the past week has had more high explosive dropped on him than London during the Blitz, with more to come, is a tad outside the spirit of the game.

Yep, someone has to take the moral high ground here.

I just assumed the Bank of England or HM's Treasury was looking after him. Releasing him did wonders for your balance of trade.

At least she's broken up with Chris Brown which has improved her life chances.

That was the idea behind Gordon the Moron "facilitating" his release but like all his schemes it has come to nought as the regime we were trying to appease by releasing Al-Megrahi we ended up placing sanctions on and bombing so the the political and economic benefit from the Libyan Lazarus' release has been zero.

The first woman to run for Vice President of the US (for those under the age of 35 - Sarah Palin wasn't the first) Geraldine Ferraro has dropped off the perch after a 12 year battle with multiple myeloma.

by Allan D Sat 26 Mar 2011, 21:34

I think you forget to insert "by one of the two major parties".

The first female US Vice-Presidential candidate was actually Marietta Stow for the Equal Rights Party in 1884, who died in 1902:

Marietta Snow

The first female US Presidential candidate was Victoria Woodhull in 1872:

With Walter Mondale? Against Reagan?

I think you'll find this was the result (Reagan-Bush in red, Mondale-Ferraro in blue):
