KK is right. If they haven't done so already, your parents should ask the lawyer for case evidence of similar Will disputes that have been successful...

MrB, this ex-footballer has been helped by a charitable trust set up in his name. Might be worth digging around for more info on it...http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/gary-parkinson-holds-twitter-qa-1862516 Good Luck!..

Mick, did you get an email from the Telegraph about another Fantasy game based around the classics? 35 races starting this Saturday with the 2K Guineas. Should be good, maybe we can even tempt ???? this time. We don't need to sign up, just use your previous name and password you had for Cheltenham... http://fantasyracing.telegraph.co.uk/

I've just done the BBC's Premier League Predictor for the top 5 clubs... http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/predictor/default.stm Looks like it could be another goal difference decider...or maybe another dodgy Lasagne! Man Utd 38 48 92 Man City 38 37 83 Chelsea 38 36 75 Arsenal 38 33 71 Spurs 38 23 71

Half-time scores in the EDF Champions League Semi-Finals... Mx 1 JL 0 OT 1 AM 1 AM's predictions are... Real Madrid 3 Bor Dortmund 2 Barca 3 Bayern 2 JL's predictions are... Real Madrid 3 Bor Dortmund 0 Barca 2 Bayern 1 Mx's predictions are... Real Madrid 3 Bor Dortmund 1 Barca 3 Bayern 2 OT's predictions are... Real Madrid 3 Bor Dortmund 0 Barca 3 Bayern 1 Everyone has predicted two home wins, so Jah will need one more correct score than maxxi to progress. Meds and Ots, if not getting any correct scores, will have to go through the tie break system of who got closest to the overall aggregate score...good luck!

Week 31 results. Who needs a Jason & Kylie reunion, our very own Pinky and Perky have finally made it to the top spot together...bless! Otherwise, poor show, must do better... ?? - 0 Correct Results + 3 Correct Scores = 9 pts MM - 3 Correct Results + 2 Correct Scores = 9 pts EP - 3 Correct Results + 1 Correct Score = 6 pts Mx - 3 Correct Results + 1 Correct Score = 6 pts OT - 5 Correct Results + 0 Correct Scores = 5 pts PD - 5 Correct Results + 0 Correct Scores = 5 pts RC - 5 Correct Results + 0 Correct Scores = 5 pts DR - Played a maxxi = 5 pts JL - 4 Correct Results + 0 Correct Scores = 4 pts LG - 4 Correct Results + 0 Correct Scores = 4 pts RD - 4 Correct Results + 0 Correct Scores = 4 pts SC - 3 Correct Results + 0 Correct Scores = 3 pts AM - 2 Correct Results + 0 Correct Scores = 2 pts

Thanks Mick, I will. Did you know I once bought Jimmy Nisbett a pint in Franklins? See, I'm a natural...

Great win for the Villa. Must've been something in the North East water this weekend :)

I was watching Sunday Supplement, Sky's football journo show on Sunday morning, and one of the journos said he wouldn't be voting for Bale because of his perceived diving. Mick, forgot to ask earlier, did you see Jimmy Nesbitt singing his heart out in the Utd end yesterday? Buy him a pint from me...

Mick Mac Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > I'd be very surprised if your view is shared by > many people RD. Great goalscorer as RVP is, Bale > has been the stand out player in the premiership > this season surely? You're missing my point Mick. The PFA vote isn't based on the season as a whole. I've no qualms with Bale winning the award based on the season up until the votes were cast. A worthy winner indeed. I just think the writer's might make a different choice when they cast their votes at the end of the season. Re. Ots...RVP has more goals than Suarez, not that should decide who's had a better season or not. I think Carrick has been Utd's consistently best player, but goalscorers often take the glory. The PFA awards often thrown up anomolies. Ryan Giggs won it after only making a dozen or so apearances, probably more out of sympathy for never having won it. In Scotland, not a single Celtic player has been nominated this year, which is laughable. Still, it all provides good 'pub debate' material...

Congrats to Gareth Bale, only the 3rd 'double double' winner of the player's awards...the others being Ronaldo and, wait for it... Andy Gray...Take a bow son! GB hit a purple patch of form, just at the right time as the votes were being cast, whereas RVP's dipped. The writer's vote later and can look at the season as a whole when voting, so I think they will choose RVP, while GB will get the young player award. Despite their manager's request to show some class, Gooner fans were anything but yesterday, booing the guard of honour for Utd. Still, we shouldn't be surprised, they boo their own players and manager afterall. I've no issue with them booing RVP when his name was announced and when the game got underway, but to boo the guard of honour, when he hadn't even stepped onto the pitch shows what a classless set of fans they have. Let's be clear, it wasn't a few idiotic morons every club has, this was large swathes of their support...20

Alan Medic Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Can you clarify how that would work? There's a CL > Final at stake :) You're thinking too hard about this Meds :) Let's say the overall aggregate scores for the two semi's were 4-2 and 5-3 respectively. Player A predicted aggregate scores of 3-1 and 2-2. Player B predicted aggregate scores of 4-2 and 2-3. Player A's aggs were -1, -1, -3 and -1 away from the actual aggs, giving a total of -6 Player B's aggs were 0, 0, -3 and 0, giving a total of -3. The player closest to the actual aggs wins, in this case Player B. Seems a fair way as it incorporates all 4 matches. If both players are still equal then it's coin time...

If we win, will there be an impromptu pitch invasion from parka clad men who should know better?...hope so

I definitely don't think that should be decided on a coin toss...worse than pens...any Germans amongst us?

A man after I my own heart...I've thought of something that doesn't involve any further predictions, the player closest to the final aggregate score goes through...

I could always check the predictions to see if that scenario would happen, and then ask for new predictions, otherwise it's toss of a coin time I'm afraid. I've lost out on the chance of a 1999 Treble due to a coin toss, so I would feel your pain. What would you and the other 3 semi-finalists prefer?...
