Casey Coleman, a pick entered, but changed, by Football Fan for the CPDP.

 

Somehow he got a Canadian obit, which means he would have been eligible for points too...

Really? I find that surprising. He was in a wheelchair, frail & had just had jaw surgery and looked awful - near death then.

If you consider that "not too bad", I'd hate to see what you consider as "looking bad". :shoot:

You might remember the story of the lorry driver sentenced to 11 years in a Greek jail for allegedly attempting to smuggle illegal immigrants? Well, he was found hanged on Monday.

 

Very sad as he was a well known figure in my village and I remember all the 'Free Willy' campaigning and fundraising that went on at the time. Mind you, what's perhaps as sad is that by the T&A carelessly printing the son's address, and knowing that area as a complete shithole, he'll probably get burgled during the funeral...

That skelliton has a long and prosperous career ahead of her, showing the many students of a university somewhere in middle England just how we all go together! :)
