Running the DDP is a colossal task and TMIB has to balance a life into the equation too. I didn't get the Inane Analysis done until April last year, and that included a holiday to allow some time to devote to it. There's a never ending list of jobs to do and with so many picks and teams now, it takes so much time. Besides, hardly anyone reads it judging by the feedback. I told TMIB to do it last as he still has photos, the history and everything to update, as well as a busy year death-wise. You need to thank him that he was willing to take it over, otherwise there might not even be a DDP. It will all be done in time, and there's 8 months left of the year, so be patient. Considering you can't even take the time to spell correctly or write proper sentences, I'm not surprised you're impatient.... I've also had to contend with the unofficial curse of the DDP, namely a new girlfriend! (she's interested in the DDP BTW) So we should all know the drill as far as that's concerned.... But he's right y'know. Certainly I should try and finish the photos at least (after the initial sweep, I still have N-Z to go for the thorough searches). Inane analysis can actually be done if I get a few hours to do it. As for the History - blame me for being ambitious. I was planning a root and branch review of the individual teams hits/points as I noticed a few (understandable) inaccuracies. Only a quarter of the way through, but I am keeping track of the all the deaths so far in 2010 on a speadsheet. But you are going to have to wait for a bit longer. I'm off to Canada from 28th April to 9th May. Busy man, me....

He hasn't been MP for Rochdale since 1992, for precisely half the time the club have been in the fourth tier! Who's to blame for the last 18 years?

Elegiac film director David Lean died today in 1991...

First leaders debate... ..and by all accounts Nick Clegg came out on top.

Of course it is, he's a prick. I went through a stage of thinking he was a genius, and in fact I do still like The Jam, however as he's got older he's become more of an arrogant, massive-ego-ed chump. With ridiculous hair. Never really rated him. Going Underground, Eton Rifles are great singles but the Jam were never as good as the Pistols or the Clash or the Smiths...

Well the Enquirer have had it pretty spot on about John Edwards so that may well be true...

15th April 1989.... YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE...

Yes, I couldn't get through to it either. I'm sure I picked Redgrave...
