Just been listening to a weekly political podcast where journalist Iain Dale said he was at a function in Eastbourne this week and said Nigel Lawson was there and he is now in a wheelchair. Just thought I would mention it for what it's worth.

I thought you'd be pleased? You've had such a long wait for some relief.

You heretic!

I plumped for Joanne Woodward again.

Oh this is just the beginning! Somebody's got to be first out and I have sometimes found in the bathroom the higher quality stuff comes out a bit later!

The enema works in mysterious ways and tests deadpoolers faith , strength and resolve. The drought may well now be followed and counteracted by a deluge and flood of...stuff.

I like a thirsty man...

Yes now starting to be confirmed and reported more widely beyond Algeria. Rarely have so many people felt so happy and relieved at a plop and splosh in a toilet bowl! The enema has finally delivered and hopefully quelled the doubts ,fears and strengthened the faith of many in this glorious nanosphere and ecosystem on the Internet! Change is on the way. All hail the enema!

Enema has finally struck!

I'm very surprised that the BBC still hasn't reported the news of Jane Powells death. Standards are slipping I wouldn't be surprised if they don't report it at all sadly but happy to be proved wrong.

The loss of Hollywood legend Jane Powell is a 'hit' for me in this pool.

Sad news. Was he picked by anyone in the Derby Dead Pool?

Pray. Keep the faith. Don't lose heart.

Arthur is very hot I agree but Alex has some X factor about him that works well on me and makes him my favourite. It might in part be his blonde hair. However all of the grandchildren of Princess Margaret from what I can make out are very good looking.

Alexander Ogilvy. The grandson of the Queens cousin Princess Alexandra.

He is very dreamy but let's be clear you are behind me in the queue and once he has experienced the promised land with me I'm not sure he will feel a need to bother with the rest of the queue!

You sound like you could be Sophies Angela Kelly who does a brilliant job as the Queens dresser! Imagine working as Countess Sophies dresser you'd be able to report all kinds of royal gossip to this forum discreetly! One thing I like about Sophie and some of the other royals like the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester and Princess Anne and yes Princess Alexandra is that they do a lot of the unglamorous work and engagements. The more thankless boring tasks without the showboating and glory hunting that some others over the years have indulged in. To use a clichéd slightly tired phrase - they just get on with it. No big fuss.

Alexander is incredibly easy on the eye. A real treat! Sophie is beautiful and with a bit of adjustment in her choice of clothes she would be splendid. Perhaps she's one of life's creatures who isn't vain? A shame because I do thing just a bit of adjustment would elevate greatly.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-9977689/A-royal-wedding-Princess-Alexandras-granddaughter-Flora-Ogilvy-celebrates-nuptials-blessings.html The Duchess of Kent seems to be the only member of the Kent branch of the royal family absent at the wedding blessing service of her great niece Flora the granddaughter of Princess Alexandra. Her husband the Duke of Kent was present as was his brother Prince Michael of Kent and his wife. But unless I am mistaken no Duchess of Kent. May signify something. May not. But I thought it worth highlighting.

Just had a look at the website and who's died so far list. Goodness me the unique hits are really piling up and pushing the total ever higher. Introducing the unique hit bonus seems to be a very wise and successful move.

You are naughty! I think the rumours with regards to that were stronger with Gwyneth Paltrow and Jennifer Lawrence....

Lol! I typed in a hurry and couldn't remember if they were actually married so that was the genius phrase I came up with!!
