I'm sure the SZ public will vote for a decent final. Unfortunately, the RAND function in Excel takes no prisoners.

[Aberdeen Shrimper]

Isambard Kingdom Brunel, FRS

So are you saying that the result of MILF Battle should be null and void as voting should have been for Norma Jeane Mortensen and not her stage name of Marilyn Monroe?

 

[canveyshrimper]

Bobby Moore v Anthea Turner. :D

Good work Naps.

 

[SUFC Forever]

Piece of **** for Anthea here then. I would ask that Anthea be judged on her outstanding record as a presenter over the years (breakfast TV with Eamonn Holmes, lotery compare extroadinare etc) and Mr. Moore on his absolutely unforgettable career as Manager of SUFC and that his world cup winning exploits not be brought into consideration.
