Twenty years after Greg Norman's meltdown handed the Masters title to Nick Faldo, so Jordan Spieth gives it away to Yorkshireman Danny Willett!

Julie Goodyear...

You might as well be talking about Leicester City!

David Bowie's drummer from the 1970s, Dennis Davis, has died of cancer. Another one one of my retrospective misses... EDIT: link

"Never mind King Zog flees, we've got king-size fleas here!" Harold Steptoe, 1972

Royal gynaecologist Alan Farthing, fiancée of Jill Dando... Man spotted looking a bit sus on the day of Dando's murder... Case closed?

Also Spade's pick of Graham James is the Bishop of Norwich, not some bloody astrologer! Must scroll down emails one day...

I was really getting worried about the f's. I can now finally ask, who the fuck is Eddie Felgate? We can all ask that! I'm thinking it maybe a spelling issue but I've tried a few variations but no-one stands out... As its a (theme?) team of bloody old people, does he mean Eddie Filgate, the centenarian Fiana Fail backbencher? I think you get the cigar. Seems to fit the bill as the team is The Old Ones Are the Pests..

Yeah, I reckon he'll be gone by the end of 2016 with the fallout of the Euro vote whatever that turns out to be...

I know, incredible...

Yes, that's a 5 point bonus for those who picked him!

They'd have to have an inquest into that...

Latest update. Strickland gone, F returns!

The amazing thing is that it's still early days. The table has the look of one from November and it's still April! Could be long, tense wait for hits for the big guns in the next 8 months or so...

Bah! Just a couple of blustering old colonels who've had one too many sherries. Never gonna happen...

Troubled soul legend Marvin Gaye died 32 years ago today, shot by his father aged 44...

Where I work the conversation turned to how many big names have died already this year...

That's the hta program again. Picks it up. I don't! EDIT: Index updated.

Yes, it definitely was. Surely we can get a cached or historical version and input it back in? Maybe Magere Hein can help. I'll start my new round up shortly, but I'd just like to purr over one of my teams having points for a second. It doesn't work out like that. Each update using the hta overwrites the information from the database, in which they are all there present and correct. Still it's strange that it doesn't pick up any of the picks/teams even the ones chosen before. What I'll have to do is isolate the new picks, test if the old ones come up and then add the new ones again. But the method is the same as when I add information to the other letters so I'm puzzled as to where the problem is...

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Blame the Easter bunny!

Latest update, too late for Duke. Still no F. Can anyone remember whether it was up before I added the new celebs info to the database?

Grindr. Surely? Nope Tinder. We get everywhere now. Don't get me started on POF. So it's Plenty Of Other Fish, then?

Man in a Casket now...

Can't really argue with a headstone can you? Look like the punt has failed...
