Everybody had a hard year.....

Gawd, I love Frazzles. Should have got some down the shops earlier. Now I'm tempted to walk down the garage....

Well, it's not my fault there's nowt on the telly, forces me on to Twitter and here of a Friday night. I was really only passing time until the Hare's Pool update due later. I'm an awful person.

As there was a serious lack of outpouring of grief, I assumed as much.

I'm difficult to beat sometimes....

Ian Rankin reports the death of author Philip Kerr at 62: Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Kerr

Happenstance.

Hmm, rumour on Twitter that Grammy winner Charles Neville has carked it: Let's see if there be news from New Orleans....

Tower Records, Blockbuster, Toys R Us people all dead? *rushes off to put Philip Green on a list*

Report of the death of Toys R Us founder Charles Lazarus: Awaiting confirmation of the final administration.

DDP pick Louise Latham, who played Tippi Hedren's mother in Marnie, died back in February according to this news article: https://www.noozhawk.com/article/louise_latham_1922_2018 No QO that I can find.

Norman Fowler looked twitchy and shaking at the Westminster Hall memorial today. Dementia? Parkinsons? Hmm...on my watch list now...

Yay, Happy Birfday! Is that in Cat years?

Bound to increase tetchiness....

@msc PM'ed my April selections over. Still a niggling feeling I'm not going to make it, but the team is in.

Never, NEVER did I think I would be sitting here midway through the second half, praying for the end of the month. And I don't get to see msc's team! Truly, in usual Thistle style, it'll get thrown away in the dying days of March....

How are your lists a-doing? How many have gone away? The year is young, but death grows bold, Yes, it's time for World Poetry Day. 　 The DDP got a new runner Spade Cooley is his name And we congratulated him and TMIB For the curating of this game. 　 The Deathlist was publish-ed 'Gainst celebs they took their aim Three hits already (that's one a month) Smith fell, then died Rev Billy Graham. 　 S. Hawking left his chair next We speculate on Number Four Jowell? McCain? The question's vexed No doubt there will be more. 　 The Scavenger Hunt has been reborn (It's been months in the making) With Boxing, Leaders, Grammys and Dallas, who will bring home the Bacon? 　 The Generation Game trundles on As does the 20/20 But in the Hare's Pool, there's already been Deaths and hits a-plenty. 　 Let's not forget those members who Left us or got banned Barry Benson asked if we liked jazz And the Dalai Lama got canned. 　 The media still toys with us Will there ever come a day When those obituaries appear For Fisher, Kit and Lafaye? 　 And the press don't play the game Certainly not according to Hoyle When the death of a white Rhino Gets more coverage than Katie Boyle. 　 But let's move on, it's only March Nine months is what we've got For our picks to grow cold And our lists to get real hot. 　 So once again in verse I've tried To pay some little homage And we'll celebrate those who live And to the dead, say "quel dommage".
