Dunno how to add one. Can you do the honours?

Surely Jimmy Carter can't do it again?...

It looks like we're going to wave farewell to January without a single strike. Has this ever happened before? IIRC last year 3 had gone before the turn of February, in what is usually a fairly brutal month

General comment. Isn't this year glacial? Into the second half and just four gone. Has there been a slower year since the DL started?

Talking of Frank Williams, it's weird to think that immediately before his death, the number of core character actors still alive from Dad's Army was the same as that for the two decades later Vicar of Dibley...

Wikipedia not registering a single death amongst those who have an article to their name, quite surpring given that it's '22 now everywhere except the Americas

Well indeed. So it is dependant on where that person is at the time. Thanks.

Can I just ask. DL 2021 is being declared as complete. So is each year defined by UTC, i.e. 2022 is deemed to have started at the midnight just gone here in the UK? It is however still 2021 for a few hours in the US. What if, say, Bob Newhart pops before midnight where he is?

Oui, Pierre est vingt, alors...

I hope it's the French otherwise my hilarious arapmoiphobia joke doesn't work as well.

Found it...

So where's DAM's thread then. Sorry, as I say I'm new in town. Long time listener, first time caller

You mean you don't have dedicated team of night support staff?...

Why the facepalms? Sorry, I'm new here, it's quiet on the graveyard shift, noticed that Danny Boy had pegged it but that the site was still showing 1/50

Arap Moi it is. How sad... <arapmoiphobia joke>
