Watch Sunak at his staged event on Sky NOW! The despair on the workers' faces at having listening to the little loser is excellent. I'm actually laughing.

Well, he's inviting the headline "Ed Divey"! However, does it make him appear more down to earth, or is he just falling short?

Well, it is 1 July so the game is ON! 27 players, thank you so much for your support. The teams are up on the Masterlist on page 1, make sure you have checked them for accuracy (it's late and I cannot be bothered). Anyone found to have died with a date of death before today will be subbed from your Subs list. Feel free to help yourself to nibbles, but not Nibbles the security hound. He'll have your arm off that one! Otherwise, take a drink on the balcony (any fatalities are at your own risk), feed the dolphin in the swimming pool (watch out, it's mating season hereabouts!) or relax and watch your favourite death news on the tellybox and curse your luck you didn't pick them. Channels can be changed to Wimbledon, the Euros, Glastonbury, and there will be a late night sitting for Election 2024 (for some reason the BBC channels don't work that night!). Expect a lot of aimless wandering about until you get a hit. Punching the air is acceptable, but no punching the guy on the complaints desk. That's me! Settle in, it's a long long time, from July to December. The fun here is unlimited! And now, some music (let me hear you say YEAH!!!):

I'll call you perceptive. I thought 3 to be added, maybe 4 at a push. I'm afraid I don't watch Premier League games. It might have been easier to accept if they did what they did at the World Cup and actually count independently how long was to be added on. This seemed a random outlier, compared with other games.

It's not a dig at England, it's a dig at every game I've watched. There's no way there were 6 minutes added. I've guessed at the time added and been mostly right. Only games I got it wrong was that one and Scotland v Hungary (see cast iron penalty that wasn't given). England had momentum you say? Damned if I saw any effort except when they were scrambling at the end. There were very bad people on both sides, to misquote a former President. (And I've lived in England and have many English friends...you think I don't have a fondness for them? Especially Foden - RAWR!). I'll say again - you can rig the time and hope something follows. Anyhow, I'm guessing Southgate said they would have to go home to a Number 10 reception with Sunak, and they pulled their socks up, very late. I say - good luck against Switzerland.

"How long will you need to equalise Mr Southgate?" "Oh, I'd say 10 minutes added on?" "I'm going to say that's pushing it, even 6 minutes is at the edge of what I can give you, but that's all". Linesman holds up 5 minutes added on. "6 minutes added" says ref. England score in 96th minute. Also, tactics seemed to be fall over every time a Slovak was within breathing distance. Admittedly, with the connivance of the officials, won a free kick every time. Yeah, it's not rigged you know.

Sunak breaks out the taxpayer funded teacups and saucers while apologising to his daughters that it's only one present between them this week.

Sergio Leone collaborator, actor and producer Claudio Mancini reportedly dead aged 96: https://www-repubblica-it.translate.goog/spettacoli/cinema/2024/06/29/news/claudio_mancini_morto_produttore_cinema-423331925/?_x_tr_sl=it&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=sc Various uncredited roles, in particular Harmonica's brother in Once Upon A Time In The West. Associate producer on A Fistful Of Dynamite and executive producer on Once Upon A Time In America.

Woke up, fell out of bed, dragged a comb across my head... That was my first mistake, I make Ross Kemp look like Robin Gibb in his hey day. Busy morning, lots of last minute entries, with a few hours to go before closing. If you haven't submitted a team, get them in! I'd like to thank players for submitting their teams so far, lot of love for this game. And surprisingly few disqualifications. I don't think I'm giving anything away by saying I hope a certain ex-President of the US lives to see July 1st, otherwise chaos will ensue.

Labour are coming after deadpooling and buttplugs? *flips through manifesto* My gawd, they are!!!

Now let's stop this silliness. New or recent members always have issues as to where to pitch their posts on here. I recall a gypsy woman, silver spangles...no wait. I recall being that guy. There is little point in allowing people to post things and then after a while jump on them for doing so, without a little time or patience in trying to achieve a balance in that person's posting. Who knows? That 1940s/50s film might throw up a name people who many will have thought long dead (and may be so, but nobody took the time to check). Horses - well, that's only a reflection of people who do post about horse deaths (and bloody dogs and meme characters). This can be an insane place at times. But the inmates should try and get along. I've taken the time to have a chat to see if diego can be a little more targeted in posting here - they are not out to cause disruption, and it is a question of understanding people's interests. I'm not interested in Doge the dog or Jill Biden's dress. But I understand some people are. My obsessions with Eurovision and Grange Hill may get to grating at times - 3rd backing dancer for Norway in 1992, you say? Well done Willz, have a pill and a lie down. Laugh, love and live and do your best. We are all dust in due course, let's not make the road there more dusty than it needs to be. IMO.

"Don't you know where I am?"

*looks on in disbelief at those who ever thought football wasn't rigged ever - Chinese betting markets, anybody?*

Joss Naylor QO: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1e53k82n7no

The slaughter of Poker Team picks has taken hold. I have PM-ed those who have had picks die afaik. Entries close tomorrow. If you aren't playing, you ain't slaying!

Depends if they are originals, or Mattel's redesign I guess.

Well, I stayed up to watch. Biden did seem to have a grasp of issues and numbers. However, he broke down a few times in expression and is a different person even from the State of the Union. He got a couple of things completely wrong. Trump didn't want to answer the questions. He kept addressing things he believed he was strong on, but there were a lot of tricky landmines which he skipped over. If he were President a lot of these things wouldn't happen he says. Well, they have, so instead of saying what he would do, he just seemed focused on being a whiney little bitch. There's no getting away from the fact that on the night he was simply a confident liar. Oh dear. Oh dear oh dear. Oh dear oh dear oh dear.

Have a Richard Taylor death confirmation: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c03l868xp1go

On the other hand, the seat has been represented by Conservative Mark Garnier since 2010. The current incumbent is pro-shotgun, pro-foodbanks, anti-same sex marriage and sent his aide who he called "sugar tits" to buy a couple of vibrators. He is also pro-dumping sewage into watercourses. Totally the person to get an OBE in 2024. He's standing again with a huge majority. Let's see if the worthies of Wyre Forest can be arsed to remove this creature.
