Vera Lynn has been around so long she remebers when there was just 1 White Cliff in Dover

Bit unfair on a dying man to suggest he meets the British PM, really.

Well ... Neil, yes, but Chris remains a bit of a mystery in that respect

How much polish did they need to clean the leather after that orgasm?

No?

Aye well, in stats I just made up, if you remove the votes that were "fuck the Tories/Labour/etc", the UK voted in favour of remaining. Honest. I mean, they blatantly didn't but if we're playing inane hypotheticals...

And if you take out all the votes for the major parties at the last General Election, you will find that the UK voted strongly for the Monster Raving Loony Party.

If you take out the votes that were for the SNP rather than to actually Remain in the EU then you will find that Scotland voted strongly in favour of Leaving.

Spectre of Election re-runs after Electoral Commission fine the Tories for accounting irregularities. On a side note, £70,000 fine? What incentive is that to a political party worth millions to stop effectively rigging elections in certain areas? Anyway, look forward to the named and shamed MPs being put to the vote.

'Secret' plans for when the Queen dies.

Austen Chamberlain died on this day 80 years ago, aged 73.

A year since Frank Sinatra Jr stopped swinging, aged 72.

10 years since the death of MLB commissioner Bowie Kuhn, aged 80.

Have to say biggest enjoyment for me today was John McDonnell's characterisation of the PM on Budget Day as "guffawing like a feeding seal".

Aristotle Onassis died on this day 42 years ago, aged 69.

They're one of the eight remaining teams which also owes something - literally - to the luck of the draw. Not dissing their amazing journey but just trying to keep it real. And - yes - to the post above. Soon enough they'll revert to being Leicester.

Rotten Ali has some good targets left. I'd say yes.

The Stranglers, absolutely brilliant gig again. I'm not a dedicated fan, just a "greatest hits" sort, but they have so many terrific tunes in their huge back catalogue that every time brings different delights. Not to be missed. Next gig - John Otway

5 years ago, Mervyn Davies couldn't swerve the inevitable. By unknown - http://www.ospreysrugby.com/news/3757.php, Fair use, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?curid=36295517

H. P. Lovecraft stopped writing on this day 80 years ago, aged 46.

So, today, im working on a line, up a pole and its fucking tall and wobbly and im old and no likey climbing tall wobbly poles anymore. Some old duffer, walking stick in hand, hobbles towards me. He is as deaf as a post and he is saying something but I cant here too well coz im fucking miles up the pole or summat. He asks me if Im working on the lines because his line is out of service. I tell him I am and its his line im working on. Im irritated because he has reported the fucking fault and im the engineer FFS, do the maths you old twat. Soon Ive sorted the problem out then go into his house to be greeted by a nice old fella who is surrounded by walls full of the most beautiful water colour paintings created by his old and worn hands. I was invited back anytime to view more as he shook me warmly by the hand while thanking me profusely for getting his phone line/careline back in action. I must learn patience and I must learn not to judge. I must learn to breathe.

This might have been useful to know before picking our teams...
