    Political Frailty

    Dale Campbell-Savours participates remotely in the proceedings in the Lords, as he admitted in a debate yesterday. He has done so for at least the last three years. I'm unaware if this is a common practice. I thought they had to turn up to get the allowance. How many other Lords and Ladies do we know sit on their couch and join in the public debate? Anyway, might be a sign of slowing down.

    Simply asserting his 2nd Amendment rights, I'd assume. That's Coachella for you.

    Doesn't know how much time he has left: https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/elton-john-77-admits-death-33875480 If only he could be a little more firm on the details, because we don't know either. But he's a perennial in-patient these days.

    The Deathlist Poker Tournament 2024

    Another dead Kennedy! Yes, having lost her brother-in-law and also her husband to the bullets of assassins as well as several family members in some more, some less intriguing circumstances, Ethel Kennedy finally departed more with a whimper than a bang, dying after a stroke at the grand old age of 96. Those who had hits with her were YoungWillz (me!), Toast, msc and Gooseberry Crumble, 3 of whom scored with a King and one with a Jack as Camelot crumbles to the ground. Sadly, despite the improved positions for these players, no bonuses. The Old Crem picked our Ethel as a sub and draws 5 Diamonds for 5 added points. Leaderboard updated.
