    Olivia Newton-John

    Hope she does. She had a UK Top 30 hit in 1982. She did in 1981 too, so she's a miss for me if she doesn't see the New Year.
  2. Yikes, we've had car crash telly up here with the Scottish leader. Essentially, they are against Trident, but because English Labour will renew Trident, they are for it. Corbyn maintained today Scotland could have a referendum if voted for by the Scottish Parliament, meantime she says that isn't the case. Boasts of getting people into work, only for Scottish Labour to put your taxes up at basic rate (which isn't UK policy at all for this election). She doesn't do her party any favours at all.... As a result we missed the cosy One Show with Corbyn, I wonder how that went...

    That's austerity for you...
  4. SNP Manifesto sounds interesting. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-2017-40091999 If the day job is opposing hurt to Scotland at Westminster, they have set out their position. Interesting to note the comments at the end from the other parties. Apparently, significant policy announcements are "all about independence". I thought that was all the other major parties' leaflets, I've had them all.

    Hillary Clinton

    Impeach, convict, incarcerate, assassinate. Remake of Charlie And The Chocolate Factory on hold, pending discovery of another super Oompa Loompa.

    That Portillo Moment

    Possibly, I doubt Amber "I Can't Be Drawn On That" Rudd (bad news for portrait painters everywhere!) is in danger. Ian Duncan "I have many untaxable bedrooms" Smith would be hilarious. Stephen Crabb though? Welsh Labour surge....

    Can't put Clegg in twice, unfortunately.

    That Portillo Moment

    I'll add him in. If Skinner goes that could be a contender, not necessarily by largest margin but for shock value.

    General Election Game

    As the only entrant so far, could this be the first pool I could win?

    What the hell is it with people and apostrophes?
  17. Jezza can't tell us how much Labour's policy on childcare will cost. After the steel and determination he showed last night, he looked like a tool today, graduating from the Diane Abbott School of Economics. Tezza meantime is on just now, making light of her dismal performance last night and talking about the desperate situation of - yes you guessed it - "ordinary working people". That'll be the "ordinary" people Tezza's had the power to transform their lives for the better for 7 years - thanks for your vote, we'll U-turn once we are back in power. Tiresome Timothy meantime thinks they are both rubbish, while scoffing croissants down the bakery with ex-MP and face of the past Simon Hughes. Scottish dictator in chief launches SNP manifesto, totally failing to attack Labour at all despite their overall surge in the polls and failing to answer the question once again, what if the Tories say no to your independence referendum request?

    Manuel Noriega

    Progression: Noakes, Noriega....Norden? Anyhow, a particularly nasty piece of work. He was one of the 25 I dropped from my Shadowlist to stay in line with the Deathlist.

    The Joker's Dead Pool

    Manuel Noriega is my third hit on this pool.
