"So If Only has another shot at the £100 prize and is once more up against Baby Birch. Baby Birch comes from a long line of people who call themselves Baby but aren’t actually babies."
If Only is trying to beat Baby Birch and become the second winner of £100. But what has he gone for this week and what's all this Baby malarkey?
Last week's edition of Winner Stays On has been void due to an administrative error. That's the posh way of saying 'we made a bit of a hash of things'. It's a bit like Janet Jackson's infamous flash going down as a 'wardrobe malfunction' or an out-of-control band member who can't stand up on stage leaving his bandmates due to 'musical differences'.
So If Only has another shot at the £100 prize and is once more up against Baby Birch. Baby Birch comes from a long line of people who call themselves Baby but aren't actually babies. If he was a Baby he wouldn't be particularly up to date with Lille's home form this season and perhaps more to the point, he wouldn't be allowed to have a Betfair account.
For the record, other babies who weren't really babies include: Baby Spice and Baby from Dirty Dancing. Quite why someone would want to pretend to be a baby is pretty unclear. You don't get served in pubs, you go to bed too early to be able to watch The Ashes when it's played in Australia and you don't have enough money to go to the River Cafe because...well, you don't have any need for it. As we always say here at WSO, we're not judgemental people. Because if we were we'd say: it's time to grow up and act your age, you muppet.
