Here's a quote from TKAM: "There are just some kind of men who - who're so busy worrying about the next world they've never learned to live in this one, and you can look down the street and see the results." How true, have a good birthday.

Isn't there some talk (particularly in the USA) that when a person dies their soul is transferred to a newly born? Could your brother be John Mills reincarnated? Oh and happy birthday to the little one.

Haven't really participated in the other sweeps, but I think the strain of another Royal birth (remember how ill he got after George?) will actually do for him. I'm a natural pessimist for this particular pick, so I'll say May 22nd this year. (On the basis I've been wrong on everything, this can be safely disregarded).

I'm sure statistics indicate that far more heterosexual people die every year than LGBT folk. Care to comment Jim? And then apologise? And then resign? -
Richard West, freelance correspondent on SE Asia, Latin America, and Africa and regular correspondent for The Spectator has died at 84. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/11564222/Richard-West-writer-obituary.html Fun Fact: He was a first cousin of DDP favourite, Timothy West.

The Indonesians prepare to execute members of the Bali 9 drug smuggling group by firing squad. http://www.smh.com.au/world/the-last-wishes-bali-nine-men-brace-for-execution-on-tuesday-20150426-1mtr7q.html Horrid way to go, though possibly as horrid as the potential deaths of addicts. I really don't know where I stand on this. But I know where they stand. In front of barrels of weapons. Over there. In front of the world.

He wouldn't have been able to vote anyway, he's a lord! Interesting...maybe, maybe not. Dunno what his status was. http://lordsoftheblog.net/2008/05/07/can-peers-vote/ However, definitely not now, the dead can definitely not vote. I looked it up he he. Edit: Dang, just found the aristocrats thread, searched for it earlier and got nothing. Arg. This made me spend about ten minutes trying to find out what happens if you cast a postal vote and then die before the actual election day. Summary: nobody really knows. Interesting again...and also, with a blanket ban on prisoners voting, is it possible the whole election result could be de-legitimised by some form of legal challenge?

Meadowlark Lemon of the Harlem Globetrotters just had a birthday. I could have sworn he was away years ago. -

Not sure where this goes. Edward Coke, 7th Earl of Leicester, dies at 78. http://www.itv.com/news/anglia/2015-04-25/tributes-to-lord-leicester-head-of-the-holkham-estate/ Interestingly, he came out for UKIP recently, looks like that's one less vote for them. http://www.lynnnews.co.uk/news/local/latest-local-news/earl-of-leicester-announces-ukip-backing-1-6681630

Have to love the archetype Scottish flame haired tempter though. He played a blinder, even Willie Thorne sounded moist.
