How you say the year is exactly the culture war Sunak wants you all to focus on. I'll never understand the US style election system the English have adopted - third of councils elected (something like the Senate) and these PCCs (elect your local sheriff) who never get accountability related to their job for anything as far as I can see. Ah well, another couple of days of this coverage to go.

I mean, when he was PM, he took so many holidays you couldn't have prised his passport out of his chubby little hands. Man's a lunatic, always was.

Didn't they know who he was? Maybe he brought his ID in Greek, or tried to use his Peppa Pig World loyalty card.

Well, it's been busy since! I knew that quiet Sunday was an omen!

Missed the party pooper bonus by one day.

Peter Oosterhuis QO: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-13376021/Six-time-Ryder-Cup-star-Peter-Oosterhuis-dies-aged-75.html

One of the great players when I was growing up. Surely he's a DDP'er?

Listening to John Swinney who announces he is running for leader of the SNP. Modesty and humility are not his strong points. We'll see if Kate Forbes fancies her chances.

Scottish entertainer Christian aka Chris McClure, reportedly dead: https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/12584611/christian-chris-mcclure-dead-scotland-singer-music/ Performed on the 1982 Scotland single We Have A Dream but more of a Scottish rather than national figure. Look at all these pished folk representing our country in stereotypical style:

Thought I'd have a swatch. Jim Horn's credits are nothing short of astonishing. Very possible he would QO and if he didn't, there would be no justice. I'm flabbergasted I didn't know half of his stuff.

Contrary to belief and Wiki, turns out Michael Buerk was born in Canada, not Solihull: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-13372821/EDEN-CONFIDENTIAL-Moral-maze-BBCs-Michael-Buerk-new-passport.html

And what say you now after 8 odd years?

In fact, I have been consistent in the matter.

Those of us who lived through it - well you picked a side. He had plenty of supporters, believe me. I thought he was the most disgusting cockwomble ever - and there were plenty of contenders for that title during the Thatcher/Major years. I see Sara Keays still lives, though quiet for quite a while now.

Good luck lbg. I'm listening to The Art Of Noise with Duane Eddy - Peter Gunn while weeping. ha ha!

I think Bob Dylan and Jeff Lynne are the surviving Travelling Wilburys, but I have had a day out on the sauce and can't be bothered checking.

Especially as I was going for a clean sheet! Which may still happen now.

Add Duane Eddy QO: https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/duane-eddy-guitarist-death-age-b2538137.html

Why can't these fuckers die when I pick them?

Duane Eddy reportedly died 30 April, so looks like I have a sub in play. Bloody typical. Also, RIP.

God damn - Looks like a sub for me to take his place. Still, a legend as far as as I'm concerned and a terrible loss to us. RIP.

Sad news. Was it today? Asking for a Windy City friend.
