89 today!

Can't keep their Brexit Secretaries. Esther McVey gone. Which is good on many levels.

So....who's resigning then? I had to laugh at Fluffy Mundell. Threatens to resign every couple of months, then...doesn't. Well, he's got a sinecure...it's a Cabinet post without any real significance. Also, comes out of the meeting today, saying no deal would be a catastrophe. That kind of jars against Tezza's ongoing commentary that no deal is better than a bad deal. Anyway, it's not 30 odd billion and that's fine. We'll be paying in for the next two years at least in addition, and then we'll be paying for a customs union (remember that thing we were definitely leaving on 31 March 2019 which we are not now?) which we can't get out of until the EU agrees. View of the leadership contest? A distraction from a vote of no confidence. Trying to avoid that in favour of letting the Tories sort it out themselves. And they have no intention of getting rid of her, let's be clear. Parly should push ahead asap and send her to Maidenhead...permanently.

Another kick in the cold dead balls of Robert Mandan...

Don't think it has re-run here as much. But ah, the good ole unpublished Daily Mail copy and paste wire obit. I was thinking Metro might, with a Times Obit sometime in January 2019. Ha!

Whilst a towering figure in the 1970s, question is will she obit in the UK? Don't get me wrong, I think she should but let's face it, she's most famous for a "bit part" in a US series (yes that's controversial for those of us who remember her character, but it has been a long time). I think the lack of famous deaths recently might help.

Paul McGann is 59 today!

Babs Chinnery a hit for Biblio I believe: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/2018/11/13/babs-beverley-beverley-sisters-1950s-close-harmony-trio-found/

With Babs Chinnery's death, @Gooseberry Crumble hauls himself off the bottom of the pack with a hit. 5 Additional Points also for hitting a Lemmy. Leaderboard updated. New one will be posted after the next hit.

Babs Chinnery becomes the second Beverley Sister to die: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/2018/11/13/babs-beverley-beverley-sisters-1950s-close-harmony-trio-found/

Think I watched the first 9 or 10 series of CBB. Then it began being populated by people who are the cult of celebrity, which seems to mean if some researcher has masturbated over an internet picture of someone, they were famous enough to get on the show.

I'm not doing any lists for I'm A Celebrity... I've never seen it. Of course, someone else could....

Love a cross-post, me.

Trudie Goodwin is 67 today!

Dennis Brock is 99 and Britain's oldest bellringer. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/oldest-bellringer-has-kept-up-the-peal-for-87-years-fm7bkx9ms Does he ap-peal to you for 2019? Or are you at the end of your rope with suggestions?

Look, the Rain has stopped. https://leaderpost.com/entertainment/local-arts/stratford-festival-pioneer-douglas-rain-dies-at-90/wcm/71ee165f-de23-4b3f-937c-715ff091ef68 Maybe should mention he's a DDP pick, for @Spade_Cooley 's purposes.
