Morbidly ironic that a key hit in the 20th year of the Derby Dead Pool should be from Derby...

9/11 (& Diana) was the point when minute silences in football went a bit skew...

1992 I have got to go on a foreign business trip on 07th May which will deprive me of my five year highlight of sitting up till 2 in the morning watching the results come in surrounded by colour coded charts and marker pens. Very disappointed. You only stay up until 2? That's when the real action starts. It depends how clear the result is going to be and if there are going to be any Michael Portillo moments. Last time it was a bit depressing and it was horrible in 1992. The "Portillo Moment" could be Nick Clegg at Sheffield Hallam. Hold on to your energy drinks, his last election result came at 6:30am in 2010!

The dead can't answer back...

Ive spent the last few weeks not wanting to kick the TV scn in but I cannae hold it no more. Milliband is a massive cunt. Another 'socialist' that makes all the gestures and talks a load of shite about social justice and the like while he lives in a million pound house that has a Kitchen for his missus and himself and one for his NANNY and his kids. What fucking planet does this massive tool live on? Privileged? Oxbridge? Etonian? What kind of moron truly thinks that Labour is any better/more working class than the Tories??? As soon as Labour get in the money will fuck off abroad faster than diarrhea down a bog. That's something they don't quite grasp, the wealthy tend to create wealth for the rest of us working classes to live on. DOH!!! Ive worked under Labour and the Tories, both are shite but one is massively shite. Labour. Greens? Hahahahahashahahahahahahahahahaha. Lib Dems? See ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ UKIP? Hmmmm. If you look beyond the mud slinging "They is a bunch of racists innit" they have ideas that are not too bad, I mean, we wouldn't be throwing foreign aid at India anymore, right? The worst possible nightmare will be a Labour SNP coalition. I truly wished the Scottish electorate had shown more balls and had voted for independence. The Tories are what they are and have always been, rich cunts that look after the rich. Having said all of that, what the fuck is wrong with our society?? Food banks?? What the fuck is that about!!! Anybody would think that poverty is a new fangled concept, which, well, it must be. We have bred a citizen that takes absolutely no responsibility for themselves and expects the state to house them, clothe them and now do the fucking shopping for them. Pathetic. Nobody seems to get it, we are all screwed, and screwing the 'fat cat bankers' has more to do with seeking justice than making the economy work. There IS money out there and there ARE jobs, unfortunately, due to the callous treatment and subjugation of the working classes by the capitalist elite, if you don't earn a fat wage, own a house and drive a car that is three years old or newer you are a VICTIM ........... which is great, eh. Politics isn't radical, to be radical will require honesty and all Politicians are fucking liars so that's out then. Same old shit with a different wrapper then, Your politics sounds as confused as everybody else's.

Backstabbing? Really? I would have thought it took a fair pair of cojones to take on the Establishment choice for opposition leader and win against all expectations and it being his brother as well. It's democratic politics not Jacobean court intrigue. Or is Miliband the elder the more "acceptable" looking Jew?

TMIB - you've got Ronnie Carroll down as Roy Carroll on the front page; as far as I know Roy Carroll (former NI goalkeeper) is very much still alive (and also not a Ron). That's what happens when you write up a DDP update with football going on in the background...

Latest pages are up (at last)...

No, because I don't want him to die!

Was your mother a feminist by any chance?

Another boy, 25th, Edward...

Don't even think about it...

Drat! Sledge could have held on for at a couple of days at least, it's buggered up my update which I was a third of the way through until last night! May have to do 2 updates in consecutive days - Wed/Thur or Friday.

You know, I could have sworn she was in the DDP and that I wrote a bio for her! But...nowhere to be seen...

He'll be alright, just needs more Vitamin C...

Mourning everyone. State funeral planned in Australia. Would any sports figure get close to that in the UK? Can't think of one. Rumour has it the funeral cortège will pass through the Headingley confectionery stand and out again...

Of course his hair gave up the ghost ages ago, not that we noticed of course...

Joey Essex probably though politics is what you drink before you go to bed...

I reckon your hits record is pretty safe. Points record is in danger. Overall hits? Touch and go...

Trident's a decades-old technology anyway. Surely there are more efficient ways of destroying the World these days?

Aye but, lets face it, while she didn't really sound like Penelope anymore she fuggin looked the spit of another Anderson creation, Zelda from the Terrahawks. Probably what Gerry thought at the time when he created her!

There is a name that brings back unwelcome memories of Midlands Today Yes, we were an ATV Today household. Midlands Today seemed too 'establishment' for my tastes - mind you I was but a callow youth at the time. Like Tiswas vs Swap Shop. Tiswas won every time...

Could be a key hit, that...

Nor did my sister, she had him in the sweepstake!

Ask any Brazilian and they'll say that 6-0 defeat was far from meaningless as it meant Argentina reached the final on goal difference at their expense...
