I tend to agree. My team is under wraps until tommorrow!

You always pick interesting names so I look forward to seeing who you've picked. I hope @Lord Fellatio Nelson has entered too I always enjoy his lists.

Tractor porn is a new one on me so if that's his thingI can't help with recommendations I am pretty vanilla and sport injury massages turning into passionate sex or one guy lathering the other down with a soapy sponge in the shower is more my typical staple diet!

You have been here since 2016 so I am surprised only last year was your debut DDP year!

Oh my mistake I thought he had confirmed his resignation for the sake of his constituents? My brain is addled with all this political drama on top of the unusually busy DDP the past few months.

Did he specify what kind of porn? Only there are some websites, videos, scenes and pornstars I could recommend to him?!

Interesting times ahead! Has the date for the Yorkshire by election been announced yet or could the Tiverton by election be held on the same day? If they are going to be bad for the conservatives then they might want to get both out of the way on the same day?

On this day in 1943 british sociologist,economist, socialist and social reformer Beatrice Webb died aged 85. She was the eighth daughter of a Gloucestershire businessman and Liverpool merchants daughter as well as being the of Liberal party MP Richard Potter. Beatrice Webb is credited with coining the term collective bargaining and played key roles in founding and forming the London School of Economics and The Fabian society. She is regarded as a pioneer in social research and policy making. She was a member of the royal commission on the poor laws and relief of distress between 1905 and 1909 but in end was the lead author in a dissenting minority report on the issue were she outlined details of a possible welfare state- something more radical than the non dissecting report. William Beveridge who famously authored the Beveridge report in the 1940s that lead to the setting up of the welfare state worked as a researcher for Beatrice and her husband on the dissenting minority report. She did however become disillusioned with the british left and some say as a result became too sympathetic towards the notion of her ideas being used and applied to the soviet union resulting in allegations of naivity and a place in the german authorities black book on a list of names of people to be arrrested if the Germans managed to successfully conquer Britain.

On this day in 1936 King Fuad I of Egypt- the ninth ruler of Egypt and Sudan died aged 68. He was part of the Muhammad Ali ruling dynasty and succeeded his brother to the throne after his nephew declined the position. From 1917 to 1922 his title was Sultan but after the 1919 Egyptian revolution for independence and the unilaterally declaring of Egypts independence by the United Kingdom in 1922 he then changed his title from Sultan to King. In 1923 he enacted a new constitution for Egypt that significantly restricted and cut back the powers of Parliament in favour of rule by monarch. King Fuad the first dismissed and dissolved parliaments , governments and political leaders when they displeased him. A rather autocratic leader. However in 1935 the constitution was changed again to strengthen parliament and government and weaken the powers of the monarch after public levels of dissatisfaction and anger rose considerably. His widow was estranged from her son who succeeded his father King Fuad and exiled herself in the United States and converted to Catholicism.
