I'm fine either way.

Rabbi Moshe Levinger, who led the movement for Jewish settlements in territories occupied by Israel after the 1967 Six Day War, has died at 80. http://www.haaretz.com/news/israel/.premium-1.656754

I believe I mentioned this clip on post 271 above. At the end of the clip, you can also see Tom Pryce's blood-soaked body being stretchered away. I was surprised to find this footage even existed, as South Africa only started its TV service in 1975. It certainly adds some context to the other, more famous, clip of the accident. Though many people have been bemused at the reactions of Renzo Zorzi and Bill (the marshal seen with the non-Pryce killing extinguisher) to what was Jansen van Vuuren flailing past right in front of them. I also scanned the pages detailing this accident from the recent 'The Lost Generation - The Brilliant But Tragic Lives Of Rising British F1 Stars Roger Williamson, Tony Brise And Tom Pryce' book, if anyone's interested in seeing them. Renzo Zorzi has taken the last lap at 68. http://www.omnicorse.it/magazine/55315/f1-ricordo-addio-a-renzo-zorzi-un-campione-incompreso

Appreciated, but was asked for over in the Pop Stars Thread after Ben E King's death. A lot of soul music, particularly Northern Soul, was more or less niche and was neither "pop" nor engendered "stars" in the meaning of chart hits. It's worth a thread I think. Give it a chance?

Will we get a double Portillo for Jim Murphy? Lost his seat, will he lose the Scottish Labour leadership? Stay tuned for more...Soap! Edit: Bloody hell*, he's staying! (But only for a month). (*Ron Weasley)

Gill Dennis, who co-wrote the screenplay for Walk The Line, has passed away at 74. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/gill-dennis-dead-walk-line-795926

Have to cause a by-election, so I would say yes. Yes these are sitting MPs from the current parliament. You can if you wish include the speaker or any of the Northern Ireland parties. I am pleased to say I have received the first entry(apart from mine). ok, I'll have to refresh my knowledge on incumbent MPs, it's been 11 years since I moved away so it'll be a challenge to come up with 30 names, but I'll certainly give it a go. If I can be of assistance here, I used the list of Parliamentary constituencies on Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_Kingdom_Parliament_constituencies) and went from there to cross check incumbents (which are 99.5% correct, I found one that hadn't been updated). Sped up the task no end.

Gone for Cliff Michelmore, I'm never right so I might as well be so wrong it's got a chance.

Franz Wright, US Pulitzer prize winning poet, dies at 62 after a long struggle with lung cancer. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-3083492/Franz-Wright-prize-winning-poet-dead-62.html

My entry is now sent to Bibliogryphon. Team Name: No Seat For Rump (Parliament). Fingers crossed!

Just a thought (as I reach Stoke On Trent Central, gawd this is turgid!). There is a proposal regarding recall of MPs, and this might become law during the Parliament. Should we have an indication of a points award in such an event?

Aye, but that story is fairly non-specific on who the alleged fraudsters might be. There were allegations of intimidation by UKIP at the polling station, so - does anyone know - are they the ones suspected of fraud. Fraud inquiry closed. http://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/577149/South-Thanet-election-fraud-investigation-closed

Has his own thread. Thought this would have hit much more widely if true, even if speculation.
