Sooo, Scottish Labour have elected Richard Leonard have they? Well, it was a tough choice for them, let's face it. Sarwar the millionaire who owned (and hurriedly disposed of shortly after standing) shares in the family firm which paid peanuts to its workers, while all the time banging on about poverty and workers' rights. Leonard is newly-elected and a Corbyn placeman. So after years of twisting themselves to show ScoLab was not simply a branch office of the Westminster club, it has been brought to heel and like the Tories is now a branch office! Meantime, former leader Dugdale is off to I'm A Celebrity... thus mimicking current Tory leader Ruth Davidson who is to appear on Bake Off. How much less regard the two main parties have for Scotland can they possibly show?

Wow. Talk about introducing yourself on a long long list of dead! Seamless transition, well done.

Is it at all possible to judge the success or otherwise of a head transplant on a corpse? Unless they've successfully gone down the whole re-animation/Frankenstein route?

Indeed.

Jeremy Hutchinson, Linda Nochlin, Dennis Banks, Geoff Tootill and Tim Gudgin.

How did the Vikings communicate? Using Norse Code. How did the Cavalry communicate? Using Force Code. How do the detectives in Oxford communicate? By walkie talkie of course, things have moved on...

I'd give him an example sentence...say six months?

I think you can't participate as showrunner RA. I think it would be good to start on say 1st December, just over a fortnight to get picks together. I kind of like the categories except 4 - who's to say they might find God during the run of the game? Ha! Anyway, we are in your hands...

Well done BiblioG (past president) and Rotten Ali (president elect). Hope I do better next time...and it's quicker...

You know, I might just do it!

Oh come on, surely we are allowed one main team and one theme team?

With Keith Barron's death, is this over? Does RA win and therefore the next round is imminent?

Stand Up Nigel Barton is awesome. RIP.
