I’ve had Richard O’Sullivan on my list 18 times from 2007 to now, missing only 2009 and 2014. Not only has he passed away on the literal eve of my 50th birthday, but he’s my sixth for the year - the most I’ve ever achieved in the 25 years I’ve played.
In honour of my commitment to the bit, I demand 1 point for every year I played him.
You complain, last year I picked a guy who was born on February 29th and should have gotten 77 points for him, since he only had 23 birthdays, but I only got 7 – I was cheated out of 70 points.
