Yes, because he's a CUNT.

 

That's my personal view, but the views of the DDP are the same. :D

If a pick is in prison claiming weeks to live, convert weeks to years - basic deadpooling 101.

He is from Glasgow I think. So he bucked his life expectancy when he turned 50.

 

Also, it was the media claiming it so it must be true...

It's actually not the only place where I made that mistake...

Well, I filled out all the descriptions in the DDP excel file at least, so the mistake should be obvious.

I did. Nobody replied to me to suggest the pick was invalid, even given the revised rules. However, if disallowed, my first sub is Shannen Doherty.

tbf Grim was dealing with 3000 picks and my evil work starts this next week or so. Which is why subs are a very useful thing if you have a fringey acceptance pick in the team!

They are indeed. I kept Jenkins because she's also an International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness competitor, so not the proverbial cancer mum. But, I will understand a decision for substitution on the pick if deemed invalid.

I duly submitted my list yesterday evening but woke up this morning to the sudden realisation that Helen Reddy was dead some months ago and I did not remove her from my list, will my first sub go in her place?
