Toast

Or ... just 'bridge' in French.

Why was his Mrs dressed as a stewardess when she got off the plane?

I never understood that Brand New Key song. Roller skates is something I never had. What's the key for?

I got there in the end. It's Melanie. The cover was 'Ruby Tuesday', and the top 5 hit was 'Brand New Key' - a no. 1 in 1976 for The Wurzels as 'Combine Harvester'. Ooh arr.

Slips down a treat, doesn't it?

You might want to make it clear who you're all talking about, for search purposes. Roky Erickson Just saying.

I can't think of anybody who's likely to die soon.

Herman Wouk and Irene Sutcliffe score for me, I think.

Just the dynamic duo I think, but not sure.

I'm going to see John Otway and Wild Willy Barrett next week.

The Stage should do for the Hare's DP, but fingers crossed for the soap pool.

Irene Sutcliffe has obliged for me, but we await a QO.

I've never heard of any of those people, which may be a clue as to why I don't play this pool.

Oooh, I think I picked her somewhere.

I think it is a formative experience for future deadpoolers  I used to do a bit of that too, but my main fascination was the war memorial. Many years later I set myself to finding out who they all were, and how they died.

Well, that's just rude.

The Rotten Deadpool site seemed to suffer a similar fate.

He died of debility and decline. That's like something off a Victorian death certificate. Just seems odd to be evasive about the actual illness, given that he was a doctor himself and they go into such detail about his specialisations.

Well, that's intriguing. Wonder what was wrong with him.

Surely Herman Wouk Is Not Still Alive (referring to the Stephen King story)

Sad to hear that, YW. I expect you have already done your mourning, but it is still sad and shocking when the day comes.

Oh, you sweet summer child .....

I hadn't forgotten about this. Had a few ideas but they all fell down somewhere. Still mulling it over.
