    Tony Blair

    My thoughts towards the security services was "you stopped him?"

    British Science Fiction Series

    She played an old-looking teacher in Dennis Potter's 'Stand up, Nigel Barton' from 1965. Mind you, it's in a scene where the kids are played by adults!

    Death Anniversary Thread

    I must have misread it then. Or it was a typo. This is in the days before Wikipedia of course...

    Dead Pop Stars

    Stuart Maconie played them recently on one of his Freakzone shows and I was reminded how good they were. Bad news all round. That debut single came within an ace of being the most uncompromising UK Top 10 hit ever.

    Death Anniversary Thread

    I thought the Ed Sullivan show went on until 1981?!

    Derby Dead Pool 2014

    Should be 9 points actually ( and is in the table). Typo from me. Will change for next update...

    Derby Dead Pool 2014

    ISIS is a would-be state, not an official state and thus will not be considered as state-sponsered executioners. However, the thing that lurks at the back of my head bothering me, Mr Ploppy-like is of when these poor men actually die. I have a feeling that those kidnapped and subsequently in the possession of ISIS are to all intents and purposes already dead and their pleas for mercy and inevitable beheadings have already been filmed and are staggered out for the purposes of propaganda...

    Ebola and Other Viruses

    IS must be be one mean bunch of fuckers if we'd rather throw troops at a contagious disease than face them! Not that I'm advocating the tiresome new cliché of "boots on the ground" over in Syria/Iraq or that we shouldn't do something to help quell the Ebola virus...

    If Labour have absolute majority in the polls, then they'll piss it on Thursday.

    Bhumibol Adulyadej

    Not quite. She still has Queen Victoria's record reign in her sights, which will be claimed less than a year from now...

    Famous With HIV

    Does anyone know who this refers to? As far as I know none of the Dad's Army cast who died in the 80s died of cancer. Arnold Ridley died after a fall, John Laurie had emphysema, Arthur died of a stroke and John le Mesurier had cirrhosis of the liver. James Beck died way before the 80s and Frank Williams and Ian Lavender are still alive and I think we can rule out Clive Dunn. It's been suggested that Tony Beckley may have died of AIDS rather than the official diagnosis of cancer in 1980...

    Curse Of The Eurovision

    We still wouldn't have won, we ended up 15 points behind France. Both Greece and Switzerland gave us nul pointe too, but awarded France sept pointe and douze pointe respectively, so I blame them. So does the rest of Europe: They've never won since...

    End Times - The Rapture

    With the protestors cleaning up after they finished? I'm not too sure about that. However, the Gandhi civil disobedience strategy might be the best one to use in this case...

    A cocked eyebrow, no doubt...

    The catharsis of spurious morality indeed!
