That could also impact on Corby's inclusion. I'm fairly certain that David O'Donnell would boycott the next Championship of Champions if I were excluded. And if I know Craig Beevers and Richard Brittain (which I don't) then they'll probably follow suit as well. Kate Horton would probably also quit ...

Hi Charlie,
Can't see how confirming Richard is in the finals is a spoiler seeing as you are all wishing him good luck for the finals. Thought it was a nice touch letting him know via the forum. Or is that me being a dizzy woman, Corby?
