Some things are bigger than DDP. This game is about probability not desire. You know more about these people than footballers or politicians so it makes sense to pick them. I had picked Terry Pratchett on a Couple of pools but it still felt like a punch to the stomach when I heard he had died. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,228 Posted September 11, 2017 Take this with a grain of salt, but one source believes that she has died. I say so cause it doesn't look reliable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drol 11,953 Posted September 11, 2017 You are not new to this forums, Joey. Don't reports hoaxes which are clearly hoaxes. The poorly written article said she died on Sunday while we got positive news from The Sun about her improving health on Monday. It was a total load of bullshit, like the NE on Bob Barker, but though the latest has been reported by complete newbies, a pretty estabilished member like you should recognize, and therefore not post, implausible hoaxes. Thanks. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grim Up North 3,726 Posted September 11, 2017 I was at a class tonight and the teacher announced that Vera from Corrie had died - I was very surprised as I had been on this thread just before leaving for the class but I couldn't work out how I could announce that she was mistaken without betraying my healthy obsession with the dead and dying. Anyhow I was quite excited at the possibility that she had died in the 5 minute walk between my car and the class as I have her on a few pools hereabouts but my hopes were dashed when I logged on to discover the truth. Rather strangely I got back to my car to discover that Vera was alive but another woman I know of a similar age had died. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CoffinLodger 1,248 Posted September 26, 2017 Very sad to hear though maybe not entirely unexpected. 12 hits and not even 3/4 through the year. If we don't beat 14 this time we never will ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
