I always assumed it was a joke, but goddamn people really do enter a lot of already dead people in the DDP.

Happy Birthday Bob...whoever you are...

Hayden Haitana, Australian racing trainer, dead at 72. Would have been utterly unnotable were it not for the fact he was the trainer at the centre of the Fine Cotton scandal, arguably the most notorious use of a ringer in sporting history. For those who don't know the tale, the plan to replace below-mediocre racehorse Fine Cotton with a superior horse fell apart when they were forced to use house paint to add "white spots" to the beast's coat. The nag going from 33/1 to 7/2 didn't help disguise suspicion either.

I support Trump in this endeavour. Christ, YW, lets keep him distracted for a bit from anything important!

What were they smoking?

That means all 4 of the deserters are now dead. Seems that all of them bar Jenkins had relatively short and miserable lives. Quelle dommage.

Amy Price has the same condition for the record.

Cheggers was a shock. Used to love his pop show.

Note for Handy: Chegwin is the second recent casualty of Series 6 of Pointless after Keith Barron. Might be worth scanning the relevant list for a team for next year at this rate...

Happy now?

Cheggers plays dead!

From birthday celebration

What a gentleman. Chivalry is such a lost art.

Reminds me of the story about Roger Moore, that before a bedroom scene he would apologise to the actress in advance "Incase I get an erection...................or incase I don't!"
