A shoe in.

Near enough I would say

Conservative obviously.

Looking at how close some of these Tory wins are, it’s the distinct lack of cooperation between Lab, LD and Green that has won the Tories this election. Kensington, for example; Conservatives beat Labour by 150 votes, about 16,000 each. Lib Dem’s Sam Gyimah got a further 10,000. Ridiculous.

I know very little about UK politics, but I know enough to know Boris Johnson is an idiot. Did Jeremy Corbyn shoot a baby?

Only by 100 or so votes. I’m surprised there wasn’t a bigger gulf. Useless waft of pissy air.

Jack Scott has died at the age of 83

Labour, tactically; was not happy about doing so.

Ex mining town Blyth valley voting for conservatives. It's actually looking even worse than the exit polls. Also the talk was boris losing his seat Jo swinson is actually more likely to lose her seat at this point. Does that bury remain for good?

Also didnt bother.

Didn't bother.

Looks like my Pidcock punt will be borne out.

Oh, and my suggestion? Doris Payne, "famous" jewel thief, 89: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doris_Payne Maybe Rhonda Fleming, "Queen of Technicolor": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhonda_Fleming

Bob Barker!

Elizabeth Sutherland, 24th Countess of Sutherland reported dead at 98: https://www.northern-times.co.uk/news/countess-of-sutherland-dies-187901/

Lady Bird was 94 when she died. Betty Ford was 93 when she died. Nancy Reagan was 94 when she died. Barbara Bush was 92 when she died. Enter Rosalynn Carter. Turns 93 years old in 2020, so prime 21st century First Lady dying age. Jimmy is clearly on his way out after many recent hospitalizations, and like the Nixon and Bush couples, I doubt they'll stand to be separated for very long. Get her on Deathlist 2020!

I saw that. Which means she’d actually be almost 107. Though nothing that links the two. No mention of cricket. And the territories are different. ESPN’s McKenzie is NSW. That one is Victoria, though I suppose they are right next to each other. Hmmm annoyingly mysterious.

There's a local magazine for the Victoria area of Australia published April 23, 2017 that has a feature on a 105-year-old woman called Thelma McKenzie... is it her and the ESPN site has the wrong DOB?

I find it amusing that both he and Dick Van Dyke share the same bday and both of their most popular films were alongside Julie Andrews.

Happy birthday Christopher!

Me too she was talking about the letter from the Queen the other week

Death notice for Peggy Warde, who has died aged 100. http://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/deaths/203599/warde Thought she might be of interest as she's the call handler who put the call through to the Queen telling her that George VI had died. http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/wirral-woman-who-put-through-10622033
