Deathray 2,940 Posted November 7, 2017 It's one of two things. He's guilty of something really bad and doesn't want to be an MP in jail or he's innocent and the shame killed him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His nickname originates from an incident in 1993, when he was charged with murdering a burglar. https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/mr_david_talbots_murder Stabber Watson has killed his last burglar.

themaninblack 2,112 Posted November 8, 2017 Hmmm. The Theme Team of which this belongs does strongly suggest this "Stabber" Watson. The other Watson was chosen before hence there was an initial assumption that he was just being picked again. I could check the original email but for reasons that escape me, ALL of last year's emails were wiped out! So one can't be 100% sure... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The dead Paul Watson got a qualifying obit, so certainly would get more points than the living one. Not that I mind what TMIB decides either way. A cautionary tale to remember when picking generically-named people... 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A cautionary tale to remember when picking generically-named people... I was getting at the fact that the age range for both of them are the same, ie 60 - 69, so there wouldn’t be complaints that he may have gotten more points. Though that is a good point you made when talking about him. Well, we’ll have to wait and see what themaninblack decides to do in the next update or two (along with Les Mutrie...)

YoungWillz 21,033 Posted November 9, 2017 I'll stick him in parentheses in the round up, though if the team picking the person hasn't noticed by November that the entry in the DDP was wrong and taken steps to correct it, then they should probably live with the error. Imo. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
