Good morning people I e-mailed mystic Richard last night sending my condolances after being told in the chatroom about Doug. He has not passed away at all Richard spoke to him on the phone this morning. This was posted on Screw The Banker apparently.

I thought i should let you know immediatley

Suez

Thanks Suez, that's good news, if a little odd...who was it who posted on Screw the Banker in the first place?

I think it was Debbie, I've e-mailed Dave to let him know that the information is incorrect thank god so that he can sort it out over there I am so glad it was wrong and that Doug is still ok

Wow, what great but odd news.... How on earth do people get news like that wrong!

Phew, what a relief! I remember hoping so much last night that the news wasn't true and I'm so glad it isn't. Hope Doug leads a long and happy life!

I don't know Cazzie I'd gone as far as to put an announcement on my webiste in memory of him, I think people should check their facts more before saying things like that imagine if he had read it

I can't think he would read it, but at least he is still alive.

Wow, that's great news that he hasn't passed away! I was preparing to write my condolenses this morning after reading the thread last night, but thank goodness I don't have to!

Wow it feels like Doug has been raised back to life after that erroneous news yesterday!

I still think they should show his game on Saturday, it was such a classic! Doug is still very much a legend in his own lifetime.

Fantastic! That is such good news.

You can't keep a good man down! lol

Oh!!! Thank goodness he's still alive! I was quite saddened by the news last night as he seemed like such a lovely bloke... but how did news that he's died get out if he hasn't died?

Hmm, anyway, the main thing is that he's still alive! I think I'll split his today's show topic and remove those posts about him being dead seeing as it isn't actually true!

That's a weird rumour to start glad he's ok,thanks for the message Suez ,my better half was on the computer at the time thats why you didn't get a reply.

Long Live Doug!

Apparently someone on Daves site posted a thread saying he had died, where they got it from I don't know, I sent Dave a message as soon as Mystic Richard got back to me to inform him of the facts. I am just so glad in this case it is false information and glad I got hold of Rich so that we could set things straight before the whole world thought we were all nuts

apparant mis-information fed to 5 people on screwthebanker.com...infor got out, then we find out it wasn't true...uproar on our message boards! Madness

just another typical deal or no deal day Dave just chuffed he is well by the way if anyone tells any of you i have shuffled off i'm here

That's brilliant news, hearing about his death last night made me feel really sad, here's to good health for Doug!!

well according to the life expectancy he would have done the perfect man's life had he passed away, [76yrs is average man's expectancy] but it is kind of a relief he hasnt - he would be the first player ever to have died after going on the show - i'm sure joseph is still alive, and june.....

ut yeah, big relief. Whoever posted it, my reckoning is that they posted it for a laugh in which case cool, i like laughing at greedy old sods, but if they actually thought he was dead.....wonder where in all thats holy they got the evidence from

if they had evidence at all of course - or She.

Excellent news, now then do tell me, who is this Doug?

doug May be a rich *beep*

Doug played earlier this year Maud and won 75k
