msc maintains and extends his lead with a solo hit for Hewlett. Updated leaderboard at the end of the week....

Actually I was going to forfeit round about the 2nd or 3rd February...tis of no consequence...

Ah BBC: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-39027583

No real surprise - now just need a living journalist to report it in a news source.

Soo, Stoke. Nuttall's been found out for misleading info on his website, the Labour guy Snell seems to have been as much a misogynist as Trump in days gone by and the Lib Dem's too busy to campaign because he's a heart surgeon (so too busy to represent his constituents I presume, but does fancy an extra 70 grand as an MP on top of his other salary). Don't know anything about the Tory...but he's a Tory standing in Stoke, so he's fucked. That's your major choices, people of Stoke. Having been taken for dickheads by Tristram Hunt as your MP, you're welcome to this bunch.

I forfeit.

Instead of getting his rocks off whilst addressing "folks", can't he just get on with the job?

Funky drummer Clyde Stubblefield is being widely mooted on Twitter as having died. Update when there's some news... Edit: There's this I guess: http://madison365.com/beloved-drummer-clyde-stubblefield-dies-73/

The worst kind of hypocrite possible. The kind that makes law to benefit herself but wants nobody else to benefit from it. Rot in hell, ya cow.

Well, this is a tricky one, isn't it? Last year we had Al-Shishani. US sources confirmed he was killed in one place at one time, then later in the year reports indicated that ISIS confirmed he was killed somewhere else on a different date. As there wasn't any qualifying source which made the two sides' stories coincide, he got nothing, even though as far as the world was concerned he was dead. This is different isn't it? The headlines scream Kassim has been killed, but reading the stories the position isn't exactly clear. All the stories talk about there being no absolute confirmation of death, yet report the DNA tests confirm he has been killed and report the release of a recording released by ISIS after his death. It's crazy to pick terrorists, one day they are dead and next they are up and walking around. I'm inclined to add Kassim to the round up (completely unofficial, just helping out) as the qualifying sources do indicate (i) US sources confirm via DNA he has been killed; and (ii) ISIS have released a recording after his death. It's up to TMIB ultimately once he has reviewed the stories but I think there's enough there, isn't there? He kind of passed me by as the initial reports (which said there was no absolute confirmation of death) were posted here, rather than in the main forum.

Catchy...

I wouldn't worry...is there anything smaller than a minnow to describe my team? Krill?

Steele is a DDP pick. He'll be needing to piggy back on all the stories about Bass - though as a HoF'er, he should get one.

I remember him so well. RIP you talented man. You're A Lady: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihYHTIwISV0

Skellern and Bruna making early bookings for next week's show. I'd be amazed if they weren't both on.

Skellern was a guaranteed death for me so I didn't pick him for this. Phew! Still make it a few teams did in fact think he'd see out the year. Bad luck chaps!
