I'll play. I like pools that avoid the congested end Dec/beginning Jan period.

His name should ring a bell with anyone who takes even a mild interest in cinema.

Late to the party as always, I'm catching up on Black Mirror. Great stuff.

Seems like more.

Bugger, I had him in my DDP team a couple of years ago .... Funny to think that 'Love Will Keep Us Together' inspired Ian Curtis to write 'Love Will Tear Us Apart'.

Well done Dr T, I didn't realise that was your team.

Did you mean RA?

Not the word I'd have chosen.

It wouldn't, but I don't There's fuck-all buses where I live anyway .....

They keep moving the goalposts on those.

Watch it.

Hello and welcome!

I've apparently used up all my "reactions" for today already.

I don't understand the thinking behind "too big to miss". Surely it should be about their likelihood of dying, not their fame or position?

Happy birthday, Sheila!

I thnk it's a bit harsh to class Laura Barry in with the "cancer mums". She was a jockey and she had ridden a bunch of winners, so would have had her name in the papers regularly outside of her illness. She would have been known to a fair number of the general public.

Yep - everybody who's got you in their deadpool teams, dear.

I am in full agreement with your sentiments However! There is a splendid arrangement here whereby you can opt to hide individual signatures only. So I keep the shorter and more entertaining ones in view, while hiding those that are excessively long and/or of no interest to me. Go to the little x on the bottom far right of the offending posts and zap them from there.

Yeah, HNY and all that.
