    Ideas And Possibilities For 2016

    He's dead now. (the mayor) Maybe not then.Hasn`t even got a UK obit so I guess that answers my question. I'm not sure if this counts. https://uk.screen.yahoo.com/jean-dor-dies-230239204.html I think in DDP terms that would count. Cool, there's a few teams (not me, again!) waiting on points for that. If I come up with a better one (or someone else does), pop it on the board.
