Ah yes, Craig Whyte, the secret Rangers billionaire.

 

 

 

Worked out well.

Brinson/m's DOB was not pubic information either iirc, but Death Impends managed to find his birth details. Probably because folk assumed the guy was in his 60s, and DI was to hell with losing that one DDP point, or something.

[charon 4,943]

Or, Craig White...

 

Point was re Brinson, most folk didn't know who he was.

Richards, most folk had never seen anything she was in.

 

She got pressage in the UK, but put 20 arses in tight jeans up and I'd be 49% only to pick her pertness out.

 

Wouldn't know her face.

Dropping the Daily Mail as an obit source would sort most of the sheep from the goats, or summat.

The Indy, which seems a fond promoter of Shameless cases, is being dropped. People used to want the Guardian axed as a QO because of the AP copy and pastes in 2007-9ish. But even if it meant that only the BBC front page was a qualifying obit source, cutting everything else, all the AP and America feeds, and thus there was only about 40 DDP hits a year, if even that... Kate Granger would have still been a successful DDP hit!

The second after I submitted the post, I thought "Well, she also was a Dr., maybe she was notable in her own right?"

 

This Guardian obit confirms that:

Its all about deception , joey.

 

 

Well that and luck - to be fair my current HPDP team are ten obvious people eight of whom happen to have gone in - more or less - the right order. All selected in about 15 minutes of perusing a list of a lot of high-profile short odds types this time last year.

Zsa Zsa Gabor's adotive son with Frederic vo Anhalt, Oliver von Anhalt dies after a motorcycle accident. He went into coma after hitting a truck. Before his adoption he was named Oliver Bendig.

I was going to put it in The Jacksons thread but then Lawrence wasn't listed in the list of the Jackson family, since he wasn't really at the forefront, so I thought against it. Feel free to put it in there too though, if you like.
