No worries, her good lawyer sez: 'She's obviously a f*****g junky and she was so blasted the whole time she hasn't a clue who did what.'

Jackson Browne and a load of others get all maudline about the late Dan Fogelberg. Very touching and all but those people claiming he was the best gig they ever saw......they should get out more!

One pill a day from now on. Unlikely to be that helpful to the likes of Greg Louganis who is - probably - too far gone already. The progress highlighted by this development does suggest the likes of Lara Roxx might have it easier and healthier long into the future.

I only know one actuary and I'm convinced he's an Aspergers case, allegedly the best actuary his employers have ever seen, though his wife mutters darkly about divorce; not to me, but she's known to mutter. My point being that what you 'think' as an actuary might not be thinking as some of the rest of us would experience it. Such a person would be a great deadpooler, but would be perplexed beyond help in the face of a BS post.

Fair point Godot though another way of looking at it is that the range of deadpools out there is something of a leveller to those of us thinking we're skilled. It strikes me that DDP is like the singles charts where any bit of frothy novelty can have a value for a fleeting moment, WDP is more like the album chart and when it comes to high performing on the HPDP you're trying to make something as robust as a classic album so you need more than good ideas, you need a sense of structure. Mind, entering DDP these days is like wandering into a crowded bar and wondering if your friends are somewhere in that vast crowd. I'll readily confess that I'm amazed at sitting in the top five at the moment where DDP is concerned. More accident than design. I'm expecting to pick a bunch of well chosen obscurities for 2008, enter with confidence and get massacred inside a year when a team of people I never considered drops dead.

So with this: on the thread he looks a good pick. Older than Christo - the joker - doulus mind.

Some of RNS - Pocahontas, Ride my Llama & Sail Away - isn't live. Powerfinger on that album is - I think - live in the studio. It certainly isn't the same as the version on Live Rust.

Sometimes, yeah. Though as the long-timers around here know I'm more partial to hurtling along on my collection of bikes(as in mountain and racing, not motor). A habit that's landed me in hospital before now.

Re the DDP, what are his chances of high(ish) profile US obits?

Great idea. Good luck with the real life stuff. I'm picking Christodoulus for that May start. Incidentally, I was wondering about 'any one from the Legends of Carlisle United' That means any of the guys in the famous team photo of the 74-75 First Division squad. All the backroom staff are dead and 2 of the 23 players - Alan Ross and Chris Balderstone - are dead. Of the others the oldest is Hughie McIlmoyle - 68 and a regular at United game to this day, very active. The youngest are in their fifties. For good measure I'd like to add Eddie Prudham, signed after the photo but a member of the legends team. Meaning it's any one from 22 former footballers aged 55(ish) to 68. If any die the local papers in Cumbria will doubtless report it, or the message boards on the CUFC sites. Okay?

C'mon Maryport, the world and his bleeding wife knows about Christodoulos! I've actually had a re-think about my joker and will take my chance on someone else.... Are you telling me every married woman on Earth is having a period at this moment!! I mean, sometimes my Aspergers gets the better of me and I struggle to understand stuff, but that can't be true, surely.

Got myself, Mrs MPFC and The Voice of Young Maryport booked to see Neil Young in March next year. Great reports of the gigs in the States so I'm hoping for good things. Obviously, I'll report on how close to death he seems after I've seen the gig.

The obvious question really........POD 08, yes or no?

Indeed Dr S, thanks for pointing it out. I wonder if the guest Irishman could tell us if there was any truth in the rumours that Ulster lesbians fought long and hard for possession of the odd stray rubber bullet.

What, you've picked Christodoulus too, I was hoping to extend my joker points with a unique pick bonus where he was concerned!

Home by Christmas! A distinct possibility according to the private detectives. Whaddya reckon gang? I'm a mite skeptical meself, like.

Just seen that Colin Pearson has gone to pot.

Aye, I'm looking to file between Christmas and the New Year meself. Got to whittle them forty odd names down to summat manageable.

Have a laugh with Peter Musgrove, a Carlisle United supporter, apparently. I thought the Steven Hawking article well funny.

It is - of course - entirely possible that Liza wasn't dealing from a full deck when she said: I ran six miles this morning, I'm tired, I'll ring the surgery and check if it's likely to be fatal shall I?

If those kids had plastic bullets how could they be 'innocent?'

Plenty Americans haven't a clue about the world, spinning or otherwise.

Valda Aveling the thinking person's answer to Mrs Mills, or summat. Didn't realise she was still alive until I read the obit, when obviously she wasn't still alive, but....you know what I mean. If only she'd been motivated to COME OUT a little when she was alive, we might have been able to keep track of her for deadpooling purposes.

- Doctor doctor I've got a strawberry stuck up my arse! - No problem, I can give you some cream for that.

So he BEAT TINA to it, then.
