Perhaps a more accurate way of stating it is that Bone aided and abbeted Chope: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2019/feb/08/tory-mp-who-blocked-upskirting-bill-halts-fgm-protection-law-christopher-chope Oh aye, and...his Wiki page has a fairly lively section on allegations of bullying and sexual misconduct. That man's a Tory's Tory if ever such a creature existed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Bone

In some ways it was harder being how accessible Carter had been to the public like his regular Sunday school classes. I attended one and it was interesting to see how quick and efficient the Secret Service was in getting the public through admittance to the sanctuary, always polite, thorough and professional.

It has been for many years. Like at least 25. I've known a few agents in my time, and to get on a Carter detail is always a highly requested assignment because it's quite chill while also technically still counting as Presidential Protective Experience (or PPE), which is usually required for promotions.

No you are right, I am mixing up two entirely different ill Christophers! My mistake, everything's fine.

As part of a very involved dream last night, I dreamt that I picked up a newspaper and read that Tom Baker had died. I know - I'd never read a newspaper!!!

"Who Shall Live", not him apparently.

He used to have a rubber one........ 10-4!

After he committed suicide in 2005, his widow has died: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12443619/Rene-Rivkins-widow-Gayle-dies-18-years-disgraced-stockbroker-suicide.html

And did A lot of people may have never heard of this guy outside Australia, a guru in the stock market, self made Millionaire, it all got too much for a man who craved attention.

You really love being the acculturated one in the room I was just pointing out that just because you never heard of him it doesn't mean that he is just a niche character for french people. Glad you fancy Kitano movies, we can start a digression about cinema in the proper section but there was no need to rattle off your knowledge, I discovered many interesting personalities thanks to the forum and sometimes thanks to your work, take this opportunity to discover La Haine and appreciate the movies and the man behind them

Report that Jay Norris, Cliff's English teacher who he long credited with spotting his career, has died aged 103: She apparently authored a couple of books so would have qualified as a DDP pick. Anyway, she pops up here 31 years ago on a special edition of Gloria to talk about her pupil:

Gosh I was so pleased to hear I'd had a hit with Jordan Pickford I didn't read properly any further to find out about Feliciano Lopez too! Thanks very much for your research @The Old Crem

Updated scores as of 2nd September: The Old Crem - 195 points (Ashleigh Barty, Princess Eugenie, Paris Hilton, Henry Slade, Tom Daley, Serena Williams, Kourtney Kardashian, Pixie Lott, Rebecca Adlington) LizLemon - 140 points (Peta Murgatroyd, Kourtney Kardashian - joker, Clare Crawley) Diego - 130 points (Paris Hilton - Joker, Lindsay Lohan, Daniel Radcliffe, Brenda Song) LadyFiona - 115 points (Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Brenda Song, Jason Kenny, Tom Daley, Shane Dawson) DeathBecomesThem - 45 points (Paris Hilton, Jessa Seewald (miscarriage)) Gooseberry Crumble - 0 points If anyone has been missed then please let me know. Congrats to @The Old Crem and you are now 5 points off from 200. Meanwhile football players are having a family just not the right ones for @Gooseberry Crumble. Keep an eye on Jessa Seewald because there are some pregnancy rumours about after having a miscarriage start of the year. Also Olympia Valance is doing "everything in her power" to try and get pregnant after having a miscarriage two years ago. Britney Spears is divorcing her husband so I don't think anything will happen there.

I found this graphic summarizes just how rough 2023 has been, and it is only August. Three have been DDP hits (Superstar, Iron Sheik, Funk) for the respective wrestler theme teams.

Just watched The Last Kingdom: Seven Kings Must Die; ties up the Anglo-Saxon chronicles. No spoilers, pretty enjoyable and worth seeing if you've seen the previous series.

Been home alone and laid up with an injury today so I’ve binged a Netflix series that dropped a few years ago now but I’ve only just got round to it - The End of the F***ing World. Really enjoyed it. Alex Lawther plays a damn good quiet psychopath.

Yes that's after she was ill in January and probably kept the cannula.

Lol I ain’t been around for two days and I’m all confused for a minute.

It made Mrs msc laugh herself hoarse, so consider that a like from both of us.

Charles Edward Stuard died without a throne on this day 230 years ago, aged 67.

Would not surprise me.The biggest tease in DL history.

Just like Cilla 'lovable scouser' persona. According to Paul McCartney she was actually quite posh.
