this is what happens when you get surrounding by yes men. Like a darkroom in Tenerife....

As reported elsewhere, Sandor Tarics the oldest living Olympic champion has died at 102. Here is the qualifying Daily Mail Obit for the DDP: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/reuters/article-3602696/Oldest-Olympic-champion-Sandor-Tarics-Berlin-veteran-dies-102.html

Interestingly, there is now a list here of Lords who have now ceased to be members of the House of Lords by virtue of not attending a sitting during a session lasting six months or longer: http://www.parliament.uk/mps-lords-and-offices/lords/non-attending-lords/ Hopefully, nobody has picked any of them for this pool as I believe they would no longer qualify as picks, but up to BiblioG to determine of course.

I miss the ranter from Kilmarnock. Who will no doubt have something to say about this evening.

Thought: do you really want Quantickgate again?

Get well soon Shaun!

I've rediscovered the delights of Fry's Chocolate Cream. Used to love it as a kid and it's one of the few sweet treats which seems to have stayed the same size and weight over the years. I searched the shelves for the other one with the five flavours, no sign. I freaking loved that one too.

Years ago my pressure dropped and the housing association sent round a plumber. He showed me what to do and he said if it goes too high then bleed some water off at the radiators. I'm not sure if this holds with today's modern boilers though. Well, someone will be coming out tomorrow morning to sort it. Luckily, the boiler's on some plan thingy, so it gets fixed and serviced regularly. If only I was on a regular plan...

Round Ups are Sweep Ups too...

I googled too. For anyone struggling with this category, may I recommend the link contained in this post? http://www.deathlist.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=7857&p=235289 Hopefully that should help a few possible entrants just complete a team.

Did you have inside information? Well, right after all! However, the obit says he was 94 but that doesn't tie in with the DOB/DOD at the bottom. Not so much Judy Carne as Doris Day...

Death Notice for George "Jimmy" Green aged 94. http://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/deaths/202808/green I mention him because there are some clips here on the BBC website of him talking about his involvement in the landings on Omaha beach: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/profiles/1QFRyCGGS0H9RwY5zP5wbTz/sub-lt-george-jimmy-green There's some further testimony here: http://www.omaha-beach-memorial.org/public/testimonies/Green_George_Jimmy.php IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm5914826/

Estate agent was showing me a property today. He opened the front door, and all I could see was a lobby which stretched away into the distance. It was then I realised I was in for the long hall.

Aha, found one for Andy Haworth who died 3 January 2016.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3333538/Heartwarming-moment-neighbours-hold-early-Christmas-father-three-not-expected-survive-December-25-diagnosed-terminal-cancer.html and http://www.bmdsonline.co.uk/crewe-chronicle/obituary/haworth-andrew/44693804

Just when you thought the franchise was dead, they are thinking of reviving it: http://variety.com/2016/film/global/carry-on-comedy-movie-revived-1201775752/ Barbara Windsor and Fenella Fielding will be turning their graves...by 31 December.
