    General Election 2024?

    They've got a huge majority so it shouldn't be in any danger. Would be a bit of a Brucie Bonus for Labour to nick it should the election turn out tighter than expected.

    Sure they're not the same person but with anagrammed names?

    Dead Poets Society

    So a "Boys Own" World War II football/escape plan caper with Nazi's, Michael Caine and Pele was written by a Jamaican poet? You learn something new every day!

    Catching him on Talk TV. He looks fine. Certainly not at Death's door. I reckon he'll make 2024.

    Summer Olympic Deaths/Dead Medallists

    I remember way back in 1982, Mcfarlane was in the Commonwealth Games 200m and running against Allan Wells. They were locked in battle down the home straight for what seemed like forever and then crossed the line in a rare dead heat. They shared the gold medal. RIP.

    One thing is for sure, he's the last person you'd want to go fishing with.

    If he was more accurate with his penalty shooting on the pitch rather than off, Leicester might have stayed up.

    General Election 2024?

    I've been fag-packeting the numbers on Electoral Calculus. For the Tories to lose their majority enough that even the DUP can't force them over the line would require a 6% swing in Labour's favour, leaving them even stevens in vote share but Labour around 60 seats behind the Tories. That's a loss of 60 odd seats, based on the new boundaries calculation. And that is not taking into account tactical voting, which might give the Lib Dems a step up. The SNP's support is starting to crumble and Labour can only benefit from this. There's talk of 1997-style annihilation but gut instinct suggests a tighter a '64/'74 outcome in '24. That said, with the Tories having few allies across the benches, even becoming the largest party would suffice for Labour to form a government.

    I wonder if she will have a Private Dancer funeral?

    Thoughts on 2023 Deathlist

    6 hits in 5 months is a decent clip I reckon. Would expect about 14-15 by the years close.

    Authors Last A Long Time, But....

    And scripted the "so bad it was bad" Sci-fi film Saturn 3. How much his actual scripted contribution ended up on screen is anyone's guess.

    What Are You Listening To Right Now?

    Heard this while shopping at Wikos of all places.. In the comments, it seems that others came across this in the same way!

    Authors Last A Long Time, But....

    Bloody Hell! I've been ambling through his 1989 novel London Fields during the last few weeks. RIP. Edit: Died the same age as his father Kingsley, 73.

    Wow! Didn't see that coming although Rourke was a junkie in the 1980s. Made The Smiths surprisingly funky. RIP.

    Curiously, Ozil was born just a couple of months after Ferrari died, in 1988.

    Coleman Falls?

    I noticed that in commentary he sounded a bit haggard. 77 now. Motty was younger and he's dead! Time to turn it in I think.
