Gooseberry Crumble

Lol Thanks! Joan Collins is certainly a hard person to summarise in just a few words but I get your drift!

Oh very possibly yes but in terms of Clarissa Eden and Cherie Blair I didn't sense that her dislike was for party political reasons I just sense that she found Mrs Blair baffling, unimpressive and overgrand. I know Cherie Blair wrote a book about the wives of UK Prime Ministers and I think the BBC documentary was based on this book.

I recall that and whilst Cherie Blair and Mary Wilson seemed to get on like a house on fire I got the distinct impression from her body language that Clarissa Eden was not a fan of Mrs Blair and didn't really approve of her as a person! Could just be my bad mind!

She was very nearly Krystal Carrington in Dynasty -She was first choice for the role I think above Linda Evans but turned it down.

Take a look at @hubertdreyfus's Tweet: Not that this is a qualifying obituary but Huberts passing has been confirmed on his twitter account clearly by a family member or friend with access.

Gerald Kaufman my first hit for my Apricot Crumble Team. Now just my blueberry Crumble Team without a hit.

A lot of this discussion just shows how difficult it is to be 100 percent fair when deciding who's famous and who's not. I do agree that being famous for being ill and nothing else needs to be stopped IE cancer mums etc But apart from that obvious "wrong" -deciding on who's worthy or who's fame is too fringe is hugely contentious. For instance Jackie Kennedys sister is one of my picks but many on here likely hadn't heard of her -so should she count? I genuinely don't see a way to be fair going beyond banning picks of people who are famous just because their ill. Lot's of the names on here I haven't heard of yet their valid picks. Deciding who's fame isn't too fringe and thus counts can be hugely subjective which is why to me the effective and fair way to tackle this is via the qualifying obituary rules rather than grading levels of obscure or fringe fame. Having said that I'm pretty happy with this pools rules.

Roseanne Barr please

Steve Hewlett gave an interview today on Radio 4 pm show that was trending on twitter where I understand he revealed his prognosis has worsened significantly and he's now taken steps towards planning his funeral. Sad news

Do your own dead pool then. I'm sick of this fucking moan, moan fucking moan. I've worked by balls off for EIGHT FUCKING YEARS and all I get it "Mi Mi Mi Mi Mi!" If you don't like the rules, don't fucking enter. Simple as fucking that. That's it. 2017 is MY LAST YEAR. PERIOD. Someone else can fucking do it. I'm sick of my time being wasted like this. Someone else can take up the fucking cudgel and spend hour after hour, entering teams, making updates etc etc and having to put up with moaning minnies every fucking year. I've taken it as far as i can go. No more. and Paul Lambert can fuck off an' all... Please try not to let some people's moaning and negativity to dishearten you. Please don't make any hasty final decisions just yet. I think your doing a brilliant and fantastic job. I have no problem with the rules you set out. I'm half Scottish and have spent much of my recent years in Scotland and don't think there's anything anti Scottish at all in your system. The other half of me is scouse which is also another motivation for me to feel I should rush to your defence. Some People need to take a step back and think about what their saying. I am very grateful to you for all your hardwork. It's impossible to please everyone so don't get stressed even trying. Take care mate ☺

Thanks for doing this Joey. Just a quick query -shouldn't I have two points with Brunhilde Pomsel being one of my jokers? Thanks

I had her as a joker but I suspect because of her date of death she won't be allowed. Waiting for clarification from the OP. ☺

There's yer QO Cheers thanks very much!

No doubting his cunt credentials but he makes some valid points. He's certainly railing against the orthodoxy. It's just a matter of how long before he is the orthodoxy. If he is lucky he will go a full first term. The next President will spend their first term undoing everything that Trump did. Im kinda looking forwards to seeing BMW crushed under the 'possible' tariffs imposed by the US and the UK. All those prospective owners are going to have to shift more drugs than ever to afford one. Ooh What a naughty and cynical thing to say!!!

I voted Brucie although I nearly voted King Michael of Romania. Theres quite a few good contenders but only one vote obviously!

Sad news about Tam Dalyell. Alas though now more orange in my signature (shadowlist) although I didn't list him in my Crumble teams. Alas though two hits in my shadowlist means I'm doing better than the committee at this point!

Bless you!

Such little confidence in my crumbles!
