RadGuy 1,605 Posted November 24, 2017 Leo Sharp, "world's oldest drug mule", died off the media radar in December 2016, according to this July report I just found. DDP pick but, of course, no points since he died last year. Incidentally, funny thing I just noticed: he was picked by Predictor, and even though Predictor had crossed him off in his signature, he never posted about Sharp's death. In fact, he hasn't posted at all since August. His post count is 750 so it looks like he's trying really hard to keep up the 150 posts a year gimmick... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lucky Aloysius Gordon, Jeremy Hutchinson and now Keeler all gone, and Profumo himself back in the news for shagging spies in the 1930s.
