    Yep, only two hits all year. Better than Joe Dolce managed.

    The dead of 2016

    Beaten to it. A sad loss to us all. His comedies are timeless, despite being set in a particular time period. I've a couple of pools to post to collect my points.

    Hmm. You pop down to the shops for 20 minutes... He's on lists of mine, but I'm reluctant to go gung ho until there's an actual report.

    Bruce Forsyth

    Ach, he's quit before only to be dragged back. I think it's more serious - article says he's still recuperating after all these months, he'll not be fit enough and won't get the insurance. A nice story to show he's ending it on his own terms to cover his ill health.

    Summer Olympic Deaths/Dead Medallists

    Might it be a hoax, you think? Can't imagine why, but it does rely on a Facebook post, seemingly, and they're not terribly reliable. Can't imagine why someone would want to fake her death though. No doubt a corroborative source might pop up soon, when more US and British journalists are awake/working/not drinking.

    Hotels

    No context is sufficient for perjorative use of that word I'll not go somewhere where someone is being obsequious to your face and joking about your sexuality behind your back. That's not being over sensitive, it's being human and respectful of others. No customer should be seen as a second class human being.

    Not strictly on topic, but another place on my list of places to boycott. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-north-east-orkney-shetland-37731562 Says he didn't know what he was thinking. He said what he was thinking. Enough for me.

  24. The horror show is over. The world just got a little nearer annihilation. Film at 11.
  25. It's getting silly now. Even my simple jibes pale by the rhetoric. Donald: Aleppo? It's fallen. Look at it. Moderator: No there's still a quarter of a million people living there. Donald: Hmph. Moderator: A no fly zone might cause a war with Russia. Hillary: We need safe zones on the ground for ISIS leaders to flee to when we tell them in advance where we are going to bomb. Donald: Our foreign policy is a disaster! Hillary: The Orlando killer was born in the same place as Donald. That tells you all you need to know... *winks at camera* Will it never end? Is it November yet?
