Paul the Octopus has died

-1 point, sorry. I saw it got tweeted yesterday, but not viable for a point, but a minus off your score.

 

[Dave]

What. Nazi.

 

[Ian]

When did the minus point rule come in for posting crap deaths?

Unless you mean you added a point for the Octopus and then took it away?

I agree though, it's nearly as weak as "David Cameron's Dad."

 

[Dave]

I agree it shouldn't count, but why deduct points!? Just unsporting.

 

[Mushroom]

I will retract it then, I just think it was just silly that octopus getting all the coverage it did get.
