Hmm, I'm not sure. I hope she doesn't live to be 130 as then she might become one of those unverified world's oldest!

Nicola Sturgeon won the debate according to snap poll ! Told you ! This wasn't so much the "I agree with Nick" debate as it was the "I agree with Nicola" debate! A person who has run a nation, but spoke like an ordinary person. Cameron has run a nation but looked like he was sneering down his nose at the other leaders, while wanting to go for a poo...only he can pull that off. Miliband and Cameron are both tainted by government, Clegg looks like he will lose his seat on that performance. Farage can only gain. Whether there is any bounce in Wales for Plaid, I don't know. Greens might gain one or two.

Got my polling card today, so I'm still registered, however there seems to have been a drop in those registered overall in my part of the Kingdom. Hmmm. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-32168635 Edit: watching the debate tonight, so could any possible deceasers hold off until later. Ty.

Haha, she says she has been absent from music because of her health, yet her spokesman doesn't say what it is. About two months ago, I read that she has marital problems because her career has tanked and her husband (Chad Kroeger of Nickelback) doesn't support her. My guess is that she has been 'absent' because nobody noticed her when she was there. Avril Lavigne taken under Yolanda Foster's (who?) wing after revealing Lyme disease was the cause of her illness. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3022364/Real-Housewives-star-Yolanda-Foster-takes-Avril-Lavigne-wing-singer-reveals-Lyme-disease.html

"Tom Koch, a creator of the vexingly convoluted game of 43 man Squamish for Mad magazine and unheralded author of thousands of comedy scripts for Bob and Ray radio programs that in his words parodied “pompous versions of real people,” died on March 22 at his home in Laguna Woods, Calif. He was 89." http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/02/arts/tom-koch-comedy-writer-for-bob-and-ray-dies-at-89.html?_r=0 Edit: Daily Mail Obit: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-3023654/Comedy-writer-Tom-Koch-invented-squamish-dead-89.html
