More so than the Derby Dead Pool for 2017, he's a miss!

Well here's one less sailor to worry about...

My Grandad died in Ireland on Dec 29th and my mum went there and he was buried on New Years Day morning!

Being DUPed?

Shame no fucker's watching it...

Not even the most logic-somersaulting stories of the Moffat era has been as downright weird at the time as 'Ghost Light' was...

Oi, don't forget me! "The Crowned Saxe-Coburg" and all that...

No, that'll be me messing up the front page scorecard. The actual table is correct...

Yeah but it looks like they've had a go at her jeans though!

Latest update with the official announcement...

Tell you what, I'll leave it until the next update. An actual date might be rustled up from somewhere by then. If not, I'll go with the 19th June...

No, that was when she was buried.

Does anyone know when she actually died?

A very sad day for children's television. An absolute giant . RIP

Latest update (with some breaking news)...

That was a coupon-buster of an election wasn't it? Back in October then?

Ipswich MP Jamie Cann died in October 2001...

Not that the Tories have been getting great majorities in recent elections... 2010: 19 short 2015: 12 2017: 8 short

Good point. There could be some loooong late night sessions coming up...

Actually Sylvia Hermon can be considered more centre/left. She became an independent because she disagreed with the Conservative-UUP tie up a few years back...

I'm not surprised. I might only last 9 months!

Thing is, it takes a lot longer to crank an election into gear, as we have seen. The "snap" one took SEVEN weeks!. It was just three weeks in February 1974. By law an election is 25 working days after dissolution. It used to be 18 but that changed after an amendment to the FTPA 2011.

I want an October election. Never had an October election in my lifetime. Come on, it pissed it down yesterday! It'll probably be dry on October 12th...

It was nice to see Lord Buckethead back on the campaign trail after all these years...

Propped up by Northern Irish and Scottish unionists. "It was the Hun that won it!"
