Well unlike your lovely sounding Cavalier King Charles, you'll find ALL Muslims called 'Mo' are indeed named for the prophet they adore.Dublin_Flyer wrote:I honestly never knew Mo in his name was short for Mohammed, I thought he was just Mo. I used to have a dog called Mo, a Cav King Charles beauty. Called Mo because his hairline was a big M, plus when we got him he slept in a little basket, so Mo was short for Moses!Crazyskier wrote: Therefore I doubt anyone called Mohammed has much of a chance at any price this year, frankly.
I never and still don't take much of an interest in SPOTY but the stand-out thing in my mind was one of the RP guys tipping Giggsy for it in 2009 at 16/1 I think. Can't remember the exact details but I remember seeing the result and thinking...Fxxk me...RP actually got an ante post tip up!
I've thrown a few fivers on Mo, Mo (W/O Andy), Andy/Mo forecast, not in any great hope.....but for the upset to happen and me to be the guy that said Told You So....
In light of recent events in Paris and elsewhere, and the rising resentment towards the increasing Islamification of Christian Western nations, I wish you all the best with your wagers on Mo, but suggest they are indeed a punt as he has less chance than a snowball in hell of winning SPOTY 2016, despite actually being a worthy candidate in my opinion.
Certainly a bit of interest today in Brownlee. I'm surprised Laura Trott/Kenny is so much bigger than him - she's always been perceived as being well liked, Cycling is higher profile than Triathlon, and her acheivements for someone still young is staggering.
Surely people are not voting for him because he helped his brother over the bloody finishing line?

Regarding the "Liberal PC" LeTiss referred to, he's non-UK born, black, Muslim, vegetarian. Ticks all the boxes for an inclusive progressive society or whatever voiceover you want to put on it.
Comes across as a friendly happy chap in interviews and face is well known for tv ads for pretend mince or pretend sausages made out of sawdust and toilet paper. Looks overpriced at 75ish to me.
