Like the People's champion The Rock? A wrestler... Who has taken part in the Royal Rumble before?

Come on people, it's only £2. I'm presuming everyone who has posted in this thread is IN?

Now let's hope they don'5 block my PayPal account for three months this time.

So? You say two pairs of socks.

What about sheep? Two pairs of sheep.

Sheep is a plural noun. Hundred isn't.

You're gambling on wrestling.

Yeah, but you need the plural of "one hundred people", because you've got two of them. Two one hundred peoples.

If you say so

Well, I don't. Hence both "couple of hundred people" and "couple hundred people" are wrong, when you lay them out.

I've heard 'a couple of hundreds of people' used, which you could argue against in the contexts of 'hundreds' not being properly defined (in that it can be a couple of 3 hundredsworth of people, so six hundred people...) but I think that would only be an argument mounted by someone being even more awkward than pedantic..

I've also heard 'a couple of a hundred of people' used, or maybe 'a couple of a hundred people'. Can't remember.

I'd probably say 'two hundred people'.

myp · **Posted:** Thu Jan 19, 2017 14:08

I would say 'a duo of 10²'

TheVision · **Posted:** Thu Jan 19, 2017 14:11

I would say "In".

Zardoz · **Posted:** Thu Jan 19, 2017 15:45

How many more contestants do you need?

I'll take one if it's not too late?

TheVision · **Posted:** Thu Jan 26, 2017 21:31

Not too late at all... You're in! One more slot remains. Who's going to take it?

TheVision · **Posted:** Thu Jan 26, 2017 23:49

Ok, so I've given Grim... the last slot (since he was first to ask) and drawn the numbers.

I'll send the PMs now with my paypal address and bank details. Everyone owes me £2 apart from Grim... who owes me £4.

Good luck everyone!

Because there's 30 wrestlers in the Rumble and 15 forum members in the sweepstake. Everyone gets two wrestlers so double the chance of winning!! How exciting!
