Is the hype about some diplomat resigning just a bit much? I mean, he's probably right. Our PM is a confirmed remainer charged with the decision to leave. Her "leadership" on Brexit has been bluff and bluster. Our "beloved" press as I recall had a field day condemning their US equivalents for not exposing Trump more last year. When are we getting the treatment they wanted meted out to Trump delivered to our own PM? Is it because we simply don't have an inquisitorial journalist capable of doing the job anymore? Haul her in front of the cameras and get her to declare something, anything, positive she is doing to meet the demand of the British people.

Gone from unknown ailment to "gravely ill" apparently: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/charles-manson-reportedly-severely-ill-transferred-prison-hospital-960552

your ass? Telegraph DN for Sir Dennis: http://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/deaths/209695/faulkner Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Faulkner

He'd be the first on my Shadowlist if he goes. So he probably won't. But then I said something similar about Rick Parfitt last year...*runs around in circles, flapping hands*

Report of the death of Martin Murphy, drummer with Irish band An Emotional Fish. http://www.hotpress.com/An-Emotional-Fish/news/The-former-An-Emotional-Fish-drummer-Martin-Murphy-has-passed-away/19409902.html?r15=1 Celebrate (UK #46): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jeg4mQMVGNg

Ta, big man! Technically as it's Deathray's game up to this year, he's effectively closed it for 2016. Let's face it, if someone comes out of the woodwork now, it's unlikely to change anything. I'd like to congratulate gcreptile on his victory, and also to Sir Creep for silver and The Unknown Man for bronze. Yours truly ends up in the playoff position and sadly Bibliogryphon gets 2016's wooden spoon.

Welcome back BiblioG! It's 2017 now you know...

Wondering what my Poetry Day poem will look like?

Well? Do you want it entered in the Hare's Pool Morbidkid? Because people might just be about to score with Soares.

Looks suspiciously like a Hare's Pool entry. Hmmm...

It's over then? Huzzah for Spade! Meantime, I got a hit on every team last year. Sad, but not one ended up in the bottom zero position. Who knows what tomorrow brings? In a world, few hearts survive...

My list would be as follows: January: David Bowie February: Maurice White March: Sir George Martin April: Sir Arnold Wesker May: Peggy Spencer June: Muhammad Ali July: Elie Wiesel August: Gene Wilder September: Arnold Palmer October: Bhumibol Adulyadej November: Fidel Castro December: Henry Heimlich

Well done MPFC!!! My first ever entry didn't do too well. Hoping for better this year.
