@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".

Political Discussions And Ranting Thread
YoungWillz replied to Deathray's topic in DeathList extra-curricular
Well, that's the fishermen sold out. Farmers haven't realised yet about the horrific cuts coming to their subsidies, because they will "be rich on the back of our new found self-sufficiency". But hey, we're getting control of our borders back. No, wait, there will be no border on Ireland and free trade through Dover to avoid Operation Stack. So no control over our borders, or certainly the freedom not to control them. No trade deal before 2020. So the EU push us off a cliff edge two years later. Why the hell don't we just leave in 2019? -

Interesting you used a BBC regional obit for Edwards @Spade_Cooley, I'm assuming that was a placeholder til the real one came along.
