Yeah we knew that back in May I think - I guess life is a terminal diagnosis but seems a bit fast and loose to announce a terminal diagnosis that you can recover from. Anyhow she fooled me for the DDP - I thought she was nailed on when her husband's brother didn't go on the international rugby tour to be with them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All are the most overpowered fighters in the game because nothing can kill them. Except Waluigi if he could be added to the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indeed we knew that in May - I was pointing out we've known nowt else since; you and me both fielded her for DPP action and with my team sitting joint #13th I was hopeful of a decent finish but there's her, Newton John and that gobby Nolan sister currently mocking my best selection efforts.

Yeah she is one of my few very unlikely routes to win the DDP - Ricketts, Steffan Lewis and Youngs die, Bracknell and Vervoort live plus a whole load of other people survive too.

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted September 28, 2018 A 66-year-old U.S. Navy veteran dying from cancer has been selling his possessions at weekend yard sales to raise money for his own funeral, reports said Wednesday. Willie Davis, of Cambria County, Pa., was diagnosed with stage 4 squamous cell carcinoma. He plans to raise enough cash to be buried next to his parents in Culpepper, Va., according to his GoFundMe page. I only post this one because it may have a legit shot at a QO. There are PAGES of google hits on this story presently, so it's all over American media. Sadly, no BBC/UK hits though. Doesn't mean it won't happen when it happens.

In fact how is this for a rule -- once a name gets dumped in here, it's ineligible for DDP. Then the onus is on all of us to nip this in the bud. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
