If I bunk someone off here who has points do I get their points?
No and, if they aren't famous, you'll get nul points so it's probably not worth the hassle... but feel free anyway; I'm sure the herd could do with thinning.

If you have nul points by the end of the year, you could all become members of the Nul Points club.
There are social events, trips out, badges, hats and a map to the stars' homes.

OMG at Louis Lamour! We have a family joke about his books. My aunt (who had Down’s syndrome) had one of his books on the go for about 30 years. Sadly she died when I was 18 but I’d have loved to have seen her face when she found out my first born is called Louis (more frequently referred to as Louis Lamour by all of us!)
