Well, that has jinxed that then! Ha! With you on Fairground Attraction, bloody everywhere that year, horrid. Had to pick one of the Timelords specifically for you - in fact my team has the most #1 hits ever. Glad my team has brought back memories for Deathlisters!

12 Lords subs: Men: Bill Harry, Lennon’s friend and editor of Mersey Beat. Chris Ellison and Chris Rea. Ladies: Julie Goodyear, Imelda Marcos and Amy Dowden. Comedy Cremations subs: David Jason, Paul Mayhew-Archer and Tim Healy. Hits of 36 Years Ago: Subs: Bob Dylan, Lyndsey Buckingham and Bill Medley. Others considered included Flavor Flav, Larry Mullen Jnr, Nicko McBrain and Chubby Checker.

Petula’s remix is quite gawdawful imo. Given her age though, I couldn’t leave her off the team, lol.

Cannot see my team, I’m on my phone and I don’t know how to resize. I’ll just assume my team is fine and there until I can computer up.

Loved the 2023 list. This one is chancey. There’s yer nailed ons, get you 8 or so. Hmm. But I’m garbage at this in general, so what do I know? Ha!

I’ve had a nightmare, my score could easily be negative pants!

Some list, already up!

Am I the only one who feels listless?

About bloody time, huzzah for the patriarchy! (joke).

Patti Newton, widow of Bert Newton and entertainer in her own right, has the COVID right in time for your last minute lists: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-12913959/Patti-Newton-Grease-Covid.html

DDP pick to round off the year if a Qobit in time. Shecky Greene’s death also muddled up quite a few of next year’s shadow lists, if not 2024 DDP teams.

Way to remember Kiribati pronunciation is: Who sang at Charles and Diana’s wedding? Kiri (ya) bass. That might be a Scottish thing though.

Hoping that 2024 is better for you DDT. Get well soon!

He got an MBE in the New Year’s Honours. Sorry, don’t really know how to link on phone lol. Sun reporting.

Willie Jonah, who played Old Tibo in the Doctor Who story Can You Hear Me? with Jodie Whitaker in 2020, seems to have died without fanfare maybe in September: https://williejonah.muchloved.com/ Played Kenneth Kaunda in The Iron Lady and Cardinal Arinze in The Two Popes. In lighter roles in Carry On Up The Jungle and on TV in Terry And June.

Yep, still connected so far! Just had a look at Sky's blurb for tonight's Only Connect Special - Politics on at 8 on BBC Two. Says and I quote "including a real, live, Conservative MP (correct at time of recording)"!!!!! Bet Victoria Coren Mitchell had a hand in that one.
