  1. Holyrood and debate on indyref suspended.
  2. First time Theresa's heard shots that weren't Vogue cameras clicking. Edit: Too soon?
  3. Horrific scenes outside Parliament, with a possible shooting and knife attack and people mowed down on Westminster Bridge. I'd like to point out, I'm at home in Scotland...

    Not too keen on "cadaver". Can this be changed to Alzarian, please?

    By-Election Bingo

    As said before, possible election re-runs, manifesto promises that simply look like they are being breached every fortnight? This really has the whiff that this game will be over and a General Election called this year.

    Report of the death of Betty Kennedy, Canadian broadcaster and politician, aged 91. https://twitter.com/CBCAlerts/status/844232739603824644 Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betty_Kennedy IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0447927/ Now I don't know if this is the Betty Kennedy on the DDP, or whether that is the actress. TMIB to clarify before adding to the round up.

    Here it is, World Poetry Day We're only down one quarter So I thought I'd pen another verse Although it might be shorter.   The newspapers got a hold of us 'Gainst Deathlist expressed revulsion And many members left us Through choice or through expulsion.   Meantime in the real world Bush and Manson hospitalised! And then released, alive and well My points unrealised.   Then there was the explosion Of Dead Pools (yes, more names!) Perhaps there is a surfeit Of these prediction games.   So turning to the Deathlist The total's six per cent With one celebrity death a month We've barely made a dent.   A TV star, a rugby player And then a billionaire Have all lost the ability To breathe the Earth's fresh air.   Still, we have 9 months to go That's two hundred and eighty five days For some of the Committee's other picks To pass from some malaise.   Who's next? Who's last? Who's third from last? We simply have not a clue Whose cheeks will still be burning red And whose lips will soon turn blue.   Time to end this little rhyme 'Twill be updated in September (That's if I should live so long Or if I shall remember!)

    Just realised it is World Poetry Day. I normally do something for National Poetry Day, but maybe I should make it a bi-annual event. I'll have a think.

    The Priests Of Father Ted

    I'm ashamed to put it here, but it's late and I'm lazy. National Theatre have reported the death of Irish actor John Rogan (on 19 March as I understand it) aged 78. https://twitter.com/NationalTheatre/status/843850703290404864 Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Rogan_(actor) IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0736580/ Famous for theatre rather than TV and Film, but does have some notable credits and fans of Father Ted will remember him as Mr Fox from Speed 3:
