Only 600 sitting MPs voted in the speaker's election. So about 46 didn't bother showing up, including my own beloved MP... I wouldn't read too much into it. Not true. All but the 5 Sinn Fein MPs and two others (including Paisley) turned up. However out of those who turned up, not all voted. Oh right. Anyway. He may contend his Westminster seat next year. Hardly the actions of a dying man. Believe me Windsor, there has been many a patently unwell MP still fighting their seat before croaking it. It happens time and time again. There must be soome remunerative reason for this...

Actor Buster Merryfield, best known as Uncle Albert in Only Fools and Horses, died 10 years ago today...

Ed is Dead BBC Link: There goes Eddie!

I doubt it very much. McMahon, Arundell & Bean - that's 3 of my 2010 DDP team gone & I can't think of many decent replacements. Might be a bit of a crap team being entered.... If Arundell gets an obit you'll be in the points in 2009. If he doesn't, then it was best not to pick him for 2010. If you're short of a few names. I've got a few knocking around...

George Reeves, television's first Superman, died in rather suspicious circumstances 50 years ago today...

Holy feck, that's the last time Im asking kids at Hallowe'en if they fancy a toffee apple, I must look like a right perv if any of the neighbours know that meaning! You would look a perv even talking to children, toffee apple or not, in these hysterical times...

What pedantically, or just about arseholes?

Little titbit about everyone's favourite wheelchair-bound surf girl Annette Funicello:

It was he who encouraged Jon Pertwee to take up the part of Doctor Who don't you know... RIP Tenniel....

The Countdown begins...

It was written then. Just to ram the point home that flying in a plane IS safer than driving...
